Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 840

Colby’s brow furrowed slightly, and the bodyguard immediately stepped up to pull Jasmine away.

“Dad, you need to apologize to Colby! Promise you’ll never do it again! We’re willing to give up everything we own, just please spare my father!”

Jasmine knelt in front of Colby, her head touching the ground in desperation.

At that moment, Jasmine’s pitiful appearance only seemed to make Sophie’s expression grow colder.

Colby stood up, not even glancing at Jasmine. “Take them away, no mercy.”

“This…”

His men exchanged uneasy glances, clearly moved by Jasmine’s state, but they couldn’t disobey Colby. They dragged the three people out of the office in the end.

“Colby! Colby!”

Jasmine kept yelling Colby’s name, but soon their mouths were gagged, and they were dragged out.

Sophie watched as Jasmine was pulled away, remarking, “The overseas world is indeed complicated. Even a young girl has such cunning thoughts.”

A few years back, she might not have been as calculating as Jasmine.

But this time, Jasmine was unlucky to run into her and Colby. If it had been someone else, they might have softened by now.

“Jealous?” Colby wrapped his arms around Sophie from behind.

Jasmine had lunged too quickly earlier, and though he instinctively wanted to dodge, it was too late.

For people like them, who had weathered many storms, Jasmine’s little scheme was obvious. He just hadn’t expected an underage girl to already be playing such games to win favor.

“I’m not about to get jealous over a kid.” Sophie said this, but couldn’t help adding, “Anyway, you can forget about keeping those pants.”

Before Sophie could finish, the office door opened.

The secretary, noticing the couple’s intimate moment, quickly lowered her head. “I’m sorry. I’ll leave right now!”

“Come back.” Sophie called the person back, asking, “What’s so urgent that you didn’t knock?”

“It’s… some of the shareholders, and several companies that have been collaborating with us. They heard Mr. Colby was back, so they’ve all come over, saying… that it’s time for a shareholders’ meeting.”

“A shareholders’ meeting?” Sophie frowned.

Holding a shareholders’ meeting was a big deal for any company, and without any reason, why did they call for one?

“Seems like someone wants to seize power.” Colby’s tone was light, but his eyes were cold as ice.
