Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 970

"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Gordon, but I don't think it's necessary. Honestly, whether the Burke family accepts me or not doesn't matter to me."

Sophie set down her glass of water and stood up, heading towards the exit of the Burke Estate.

Gordon asked, "I thought you weren't interested in the funeral?"

"I'm just going to take a look around."

Sophie casually picked up a face mask and put it on.

Nichole's funeral was quite the event, and in the crowd, it was unlikely anyone would recognize her.

Gordon turned to Rick, who was standing behind him, and said, "Rick, give her my invitation."

"Yes, sir."

Rick pulled an invitation to the funeral from his pocket and handed it to Sophie.

Sophie glanced at it, raising an eyebrow. "Mr. Gordon, you said you weren't prepared?"

It seemed everything was ready, just waiting for her to express her desire to attend.

Then, Sophie turned and left the Burke Estate.

After a moment of silence, Rick said, "Sir, it seems Ms. Sophie doesn't want to spread the rumor, so..."

"If she won't spread it, we will."

Gordon's expression remained indifferent.

He had anticipated that Sophie wouldn't be interested in such matters.

She was always unwilling to hurt others and tried to be as accommodating as possible. Such a temperament made her vulnerable. And yet, Sophie was someone who disliked being at a disadvantage.

From the day she killed her friend and assumed her identity to accept James's support, Nichole was set on a path of no return...

At that moment, Marian's gaze met Sophie's.

Sophie knew Marian had recognized her, so she walked towards a more secluded corner.

Sure enough, Marian quickly followed, looking at Sophie and asking, "Is it you, Madame?"

Sophie removed her mask and said, "Marian, haven't I told you? I'm no longer a daughter-in-law of the Burke family."

"Yes... I forgot again, Mrs. Costello. Did you come here today as well?"

Sophie nodded and asked, "Why hasn't James come?"

"Sir has been away from home for a long time now. Not just you, Mrs. Costello, even I haven't seen him for quite a while. I doubt he'll attend the funeral."
