Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie couldn't let Elodie be swayed to abandon her interest in Burke International. If Burke International fell into Sophie's hands, it'd spell disaster for the Burke family!

Meanwhile, Sophie and Elodie drove to a tucked-away cafe. With a sweeping gesture, Elodie reserved the entire place for their meeting.

"I prefer discussing business without any prying eyes, Mrs. Costello. I hope you don't mind?"

Before meeting Elodie, Sophie already knew she was a once-in-a-century genius in the Reeves family. Taken back home by her parents at seventeen, she then embarked on an astonishing journey of success. Despite being fostered in the countryside for over a decade, she showed exceptional business talent upon returning to the city. Elodie was also a renowned CEO in Harbor City, her skills no less formidable than James's.

Elodie sat across from Sophie, quietly sipping her coffee. "Are you here to convince me not to compete with you for control of Burke International?" she asked.

"I came to ask if the medicine you're giving Gordon can really cure his illness."

Seeing Sophie's concern for Gordon, Elodie looked up and said, "You're here for Gordon?"

Elodie smiled. "Aren't you worried that the Burke family matriarch might hand over Burke International to me?"

"Gordon refuses to take his medication, and I don't know why. But if the medicine you have can cure him, I'm willing to buy it, even the patent if necessary."

Observing Sophie's earnest

expression, Elodie leaned forward

scrutinizing her. "Do you know why

Gordon refuses to take the medicine?" she asked.

Sophie remained silent, and Elodie continued, "Since he chooses not to take it, don't see why I should go out of my way to save him. Perhaps it's better we discuss Burke O International."

Elodie opened a document on her phone. "I'm aware James

isn't enough to control Burke International. James was in charge because he had an additional 10% from Bea, making it over half of the company's shares. But if Bea and other shareholders unite against you, with their 55%, you could be ousted quickly, and your shares might be repurchased by Burke International, cutting all ties between you and the company."

"Gordon refuses the medicine because he doesn't want to take sides with you, is that it?" Sophie asked, catching Elodie off guard.

Elodie blinked, "Mrs. Costello, have you been listening to me at all?"

She had shared crucial information, yet Sophie seemed solely focused on why Gordon wasn't taking his medicine.

"Ms. Elodie, thank you."

Sophie stood up, a slight smile on her face. "Now that I know what I wanted, our conversation can end here."

As she turned to leave, Elodie stood up abruptly. "Sophie! Wait!"

Sophie paused, asking, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?"
