Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Nichole returned to the private booth, her pale face drawing the attention of those around her.

She steadied herself and took a seat. James noticed her discomfort and asked, “Are you feeling alright?”

Nichole whispered, “Mr. Burke, L.. I think I just saw Sophie.”

“Sophie?”

Nichole nodded, struggling to speak, “Not only did I see Sophie, but I also saw those two men from the last auction. One of them seemed very close to Sophie.”

Colby?

The name flashed through James‘ mind.

A flicker of cold light passed through his eyes as he stood up and strode towards the door

Nichole followed closely behind, with everyone around unaware of what was happening.

“It’s just ahead” Nichole led the way.

James pushed the door open to see Colby and Adler clinking glasses.

Upon seeing James enter, Adler looked baffled, “James?”

Sophie wasn’t in sight, which slightly marred Nichole’s expression, but soon she noticed a third set of cutlery on the table, “Mr. Burke, the cutlery’s still here.”

James also noticed the third set of cutlery, his gaze growing even colder, “Where is Sophie?”

“Sophie?” Adler looked confused, “James, why are you asking us about your wife?”

“Don’t play dumb, Nichole just saw Sophie here. Where is she now?”

“Nichole? Who’s that?”

Adler turned to Nichole standing next to James, his expression one of realization, “Oh, it’s you. Why are you stirring up trouble out of nowhere?

“I’m not making this up. I saw it with my own eyes.”

“Really? What did you see?” Colby suddenly spoke up, his imposing aura making Nichole struggle to breathe.

Nichole instinctively clung to James, gaining some courage, “I saw you three in the booth, laughing and drinking, and you even served Sophie some food. You were sitting very close, even holding hands.”

Nichole mixed truth with lies. Colby scoffed coldly in response.

voice grew icier, Till ask one more time, where is she?”

“Excuse me.”

Suddenly, a clear, beautiful voice came from outside the door. A woman dressed in a burgundy dress entered, looking around in confusion, “What’s… what’s going on here?”

“You, you are…” Nichole stared at the unfamiliar woman in a daze. Even James furrowed his brows

“Colby, who are they? The woman sat beside Colby, her brow furrowed in question.

Colby responded indifferently, “This is James, the CEO of Burke International, and his companion.”

“Mr. Burke, you need to trust me. The woman who was sitting here just now was not her.”

“Hey, watch your tone. Do you know who you’re speaking to?”

Adler’s voice carried a rare anger, “This lady is Miss Jenna Dennis, the daughter of the Dennis family. James, you need to control your people. Especially her mouth.”

Hearing the name ‘Miss Jenna Dennis, Nichole’s expression grew even more troubled.
