Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 900

In the heart of the Costello family mansion, Polly was dragged before Sophie by one of Colby's men.

"Don’t move!"

Polly's face was ashen. The moment she saw Sophie, she lowered her head, filled with panic and confusion.

Sophie’s voice was icy. "Polly, I've kept my end of the bargain. People should keep their promises, right? Did you give what I wanted to Odie already?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Sophie… I'm really sorry… That phone wouldn't have been any use to you. I had to give it to Odie to earn his trust!"

"What are you talking about?"

"I checked that phone after I got off the boat. It was empty, nothing on it at all. A phone like that could never incriminate Odie! I had to get back to his side."

"So, you sacrificed me to gain Odie's trust?"

Sophie's tone grew even colder. She could understand Polly betraying her to survive, but she couldn’t fathom the repeated deceit.

If it could have been Odie's downfall or had provided any evidence against him, it might have been worth it. But there was nothing! All their planning was for nothing.

"Ms. Sophie… I'm really sorry, but I hope you can understand me. I couldn't just let it go. I had to be by Odie's side to gain his trust. I wanted to find evidence of his crimes!"

"And did you?"

"I..."

"You've been around Odie for a long time, haven't you? Does Odie trust you? Or have you gotten close to the core of the Minton family?"

"I..."

"Do whatever you want with me. I don't care!" Polly's demeanor was one of resignation.

Colby asked, "Babe, should we kill her?"

Hearing Colby's voice, Polly's body trembled with fear.

Sophie said indifferently, "If you have useful information about the Mintons, I'll spare you. If not, I'll send you back to the Minton family. I think Odie would be very interested in hearing about your capture."

"Don't… don't send me back."

Fear was written all over Polly's face. Staying with Sophie, her situation might be bearable. But if she’s sent back to the Minton family, Odie would surely suspect her of conspiring with Sophie and Colby, and he might actually kill her!

"Just like I said, I've been by Odie's side for many years, and he only ever saw me as a maid. I barely entered his study, let alone knew any core secrets of the Mintons..."
