Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 863

James kept quiet. He knew Caelum was as cunning as a fox and always deep in thought, but he hadn’t expected such sharp reasoning.

When James did not respond, Caelum didn’t beat around the bush. “If you won’t talk, you might as well leave. I’ll handle the Pollard family’s issues on my own. But if you spill our secrets, not only will the Pollard family be ruined, but your family won’t have it easy either.”

James frowned, and Caelum stepped closer. “Listen, Burke boy. I’m giving you a chance here. I’m helping you, not the other way around.”

Noticing the knowing smile in Caelum’s eyes, James decided not to push further. “I want to dig into the secrets of Devonport, the mysteries surrounding the four major families, and… the car accident involving Sophie’s parents.”

The smile instantly vanished from Caelum’s face.

James continued, “I believe you’re also curious about these things, that Kiran’s death wasn’t an accident.”

Angelo’s brow furrowed upon hearing this. The fact that Kiran’s death was no accident was known only to him and his father, aside from James.

Angelo stood up. “You know? How did you find out?”

“That’s not your concern. I have my ways.”

“You…”

Angelo couldn’t hide his frustration, licking his wisdom tooth in annoyance. His dad had sent him to Devonport to put on a show, warning him not to genuinely mess with the Costello family or let anyone know the real deal. At the time, he was puzzled, but now he got it. All the major families in Devonport were old friends. Caelum showed kindness to someone else’s grandson while giving his own son no respect. How humiliating to need a tutor at his age! Didn’t his pride matter?

Angelo stood up, walked over to James, and said seriously, “Get ready if you’re going to tutor me.”

“Being my student will be tougher than you think. I believe it’s you who needs to be prepared.”

Ignoring Angelo’s comment, James turned and left the grand doors of the Pollard family’s study.
