Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 972

Bea spoke with sincerity, but no one around seemed to believe her.

Odie paused for a moment, then asked, "Really?"

"Yes..."

"That's... such a pity."

Odie showed up out of nowhere, saying puzzling things that made Bea's heart race uncontrollably. Sophie, watching from a distance, was just as perplexed.

What on earth was Odie doing here?

Marian turned to a woman nearby, “Mrs. Costello, I’ll go greet the guests over there.”

Sophie nodded.

Once Marian left, Sophie put on her mask and deliberately walked to a spot where Odie could easily see her.

Sure enough, Odie spotted Sophie in the crowd and said to Jonah, “Jonah, we've made our point. It's time to go.”

“Yes, boss.”

Odie turned to leave without even a goodbye to Bea. Bea's eyelid twitched; she had a feeling Odie's visit didn't bode well.

But what was the point of his brief appearance and sudden departure?

Meanwhile, Sophie had been waiting outside the hall. Seeing Odie step out, she blocked his path and said, “Mr. Odie, hold up.”

Odie glanced at Sophie's outfit. She was dressed very casually, with a black mask and a relaxed cap, looking like she hadn’t even bothered with makeup, her hair casually down.

She looked like she was here for a casual stroll.

Odie asked, “What do you want?”

“Mr. Odie, do you know Nichole?”

“Never met her.”

“Then why are you here?”

“You…”

“Now it’s your turn, why are you looking for James?”

Sophie, putting on her best serious face, said, “Well, I missed him. I came hoping to see him too.”

“What? You missed him? Does Colby know about this?”

Sophie hadn't expected Odie to actually buy her story.

Feeling playful, Sophie patted Odie on the shoulder and said, “How about you keep it a secret for me, Mr. Odie? Don’t tell Colby.”

Odie’s expression darkened: “Sophie, are you messing with me?”

“Oh, you figured it out?”

Hearing Sophie’s carefree response, Odie felt like he was about to explode with frustration.
