Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 797

Sophie asked, "The Pollard family... are they really that powerful?"

"Totally different from the likes of Ricardo. Even Odie can't hold a candle to the Pollards," Gordon replied, then turned to Colby. "Ask Colby. Back when he was abroad, he jumped through hoops to get everything from the White family. But even at their peak, the Whites couldn’t compare to the Pollards."

Sophie pursed her lips; this indeed seemed like a big problem.

Gordon continued at his own pace, "But your fiancé is something else. He didn’t give a damn about the Pollards, tied Sandy and Vanessa up, and shipped them off—literally by air freight. Gotta admire his guts."

Sophie was taken aback. "Air... freight?"

"Yep, air freight. You know, the kind where they're put in a container."

Sophie glanced at Colby beside her. He just frowned slightly and said, "If they didn't want to leave, I had to use some extreme measures."

Gordon added, "The Pollards really dote on their little princess Sandy. Mr. Pollard, when he heard his daughter was mistreated, immediately sent people to Devonport. They plan to expand their territory here and take a slice of the pie."

This could turn into a huge problem. If the Pollards expanded their territory to Devonport, it would be a major blow for them.

Ricardo had the ambition but lacked the capability and ended up failing. And although Odie had plans to spread his casinos in Devonport, he had to do it covertly because of Colby.

But the Pollards, with their solid background and legitimate business, would be a formidable opponent if they set up shop in Devonport.

Sophie was silent for a moment, then asked, "The future head of the Pollard family, is his name Angelo?"

"No, officially, the current head is Mr. Kiran."

Sophie frowned.

Could it be that the owner of the new newspaper isn’t the head of the Pollard family?

Sophie looked at it and asked, "What's this?"

Gordon said, "There's a dinner party tonight, and this is the customary gift from the Aldridge family."

Sophie asked, "If the Aldridge family is sending a gift, the host of the dinner party must be quite special, right?"

Gordon gave Colby a knowing glance and said lightly, "Very special. The hosts are the Pollard family, and... the Minton family."

Hearing the name "the Minton family," Sophie's smile gradually faded.

The Minton family...

That meant Odie had come to Devonport.
