Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 916

Hearing Sandy’s voice, Sophie lazily rolled out of bed, throwing a blanket over her shoulders as she wandered out.

The yard was a mess. Sophie pushed the door open and leaned against the frame, asking, “Ms. Sandy, what’s got you here so early?”

Sandy’s eyes went wide at the sight of Sophie in a red lace-trimmed nightgown, highlighting her skin and stunning looks.

Lounging against the door, Sophie’s every smile and movement was like a siren’s call, utterly captivating.

Sandy’s cheeks flushed as she scolded, “Early? Look at the time! It’s already noon!”

Annoyed by the racket, Sophie dug at her ear and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Ma’am, I’ll get these folks out of here right away so you can nap undisturbed!”

Colby’s clueless crew was about to kick the visitors out, but Sophie waved them off, “No need, let them in.”

With that, Sophie adjusted her blanket and strolled into the living room.

The overseas weather was all over the place—scorching one moment, freezing the next.

Sophie plopped down on the sofa and casually poured herself a cup of tea.

Sandy came in, annoyed that Sophie wasn’t being more hospitable, and grumbled, “Where’s the maid?”

“Don’t have one.”

“Sophie, where are your manners? You invite me in but don’t offer me a seat or a cup of tea?”

Sophie glanced up at Sandy, smiled slightly, and said, “Ms. Sandy, you were hollering at my front door in broad daylight. Inviting you in was already a courtesy. Want tea? Help yourself.”

“You!”

Sandy was fuming at Sophie’s laid-back attitude but didn’t have much choice. Taking a look around and seeing no maid, she frowned and said, “Let’s cut to the chase. Where’s Vanessa?”

Staring down at it, Sandy read the news of Vanessa and Odie’s engagement.

Set for the night after next!

“Impossible... This has to be fake!”

“The Minton seal’s on it. Where would I get the skill to forge that?”

Sophie said, “If you don’t believe me, go ask around. I bet most folks have heard by now.”

Sandy’s face soured.

“But... I just broke off my engagement with Odie the day before yesterday. How could Vanessa be with him...”

“Best to ask Vanessa directly, Ms. Sandy. Maybe it’s all just a big misunderstanding.”
