Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 913

"Colby, Odie's right, sometimes you really do ask for it."

"Honey, with you, I'm all heart and no malice."

"Really?"

"Absolutely!"

"The first time we met, you made me lose 8 billion dollars. How do we settle that?"

Colby nervously sipped his now-cold coffee, furrowing his brows. "This coffee's gone cold. Let me get you a fresh cup."

"Get back here!" Sophie grabbed Colby and pulled him back.

Colby had no choice but to sit down in front of Sophie. "Whatever my wife says, goes."

"I'll let the 8 billion slide for now, but what about the dinner party in two days?"

"Let's go. Consider it a show."

Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Everyone knows Vanessa has a crush on you. Are you going there to give them something to talk about?"

"I won't go, but you will." Desperate to stay in her good graces, Colby added, "I'll just escort you from outside the hotel and won't look at another woman."

Sophie nodded, satisfied. "Good, I'm pleased."

Meanwhile, in the Pollard family's study...

Angelo was frantically searching through computer entries, finding nothing. A sense of defeat began to rise.

"Where's my trending topic? Gone? All gone?"

Angelo couldn't believe it. Who could be so quick to block it on all channels?

James took a sip of his tea. "Stop wasting your energy. You won't find it."

"Sorry, habit... occupational hazard. The things you mentioned have no sensational value, too mundane!"

"No sensational value?"

"That's right."

"The Minton family involved in drug trafficking, Minton family dinners as fronts for prostitution, wealthy tycoons confessing openly in the banquet hall, performing a live adult film, Odie's former fiancée serving many Minton partners, eventually jumping to her death unable to bear the torment..."

With each revelation, Angelo's eyes lit up more. "What happened next? Anything else?"

"Want to know?"

Angelo nodded eagerly like a pecking chicken.

James threw the documents into Angelo's hands. "Read the documents yourself."
