Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"In truth, it's pretty simple. The shareholders at Burke International aren't exactly saints. They've got skeletons in their closets that Odie knows about, so they pretty much have to do what he says." Hearing this, Elodie couldn't help but laugh.

"No wonder."

No wonder at the previous shareholders' meeting, just mentioning Odie's name was enough for Sophie to sway their opinions so easily.

It was all because Odie had their secrets.

"Alright, I know this was your plan, and I'll take the loss this time. But Sophie, I don't actually dislike you. So, out of kindness, let me tell you: getting shares of Burke International is not going to be good for you. The person behind all this won't let you off the hook." "Do you know who it is?"

"What if I do? We're destined to be enemies. I lost to you this time, but next time, someone even more formidable will come after you, and you might not be as lucky."

Elodie poured Sophie a cup of tea, saying, "Actually, we're quite alike. We've both been through things that most people can't even imagine. But you're luckier than me. You've got people around you who help you out, and you always seem to come out of dangerous situations unscathed. But the road ahead of you is much tougher than mine. So no, I don't envy you."

Hearing Elodie's words, Sophie frowned and said, "What do you mean? What do you mean by saying we've been through things ordinary people can't understand?"

Facing Sophie's questioning, Elodie simply smiled and said, "What I mean is, we're both women who've been abandoned. Along the way, a lot of things have been out of our control. You know, society always holds too much hostility towards women. That's why we can understand each other, right?"

Sophie didn't think that was what Elodie meant initially.

However, Elodie continued, "This time, I messed up the Devonport deal. In a few days, I'll have to go back to Harbor City to take care family matters, and I don't know when I'll be back. Consider this

farewell tea, Ms. Sophie. I wish you luck." NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Looking at the iced tea in front of her, Sophie didn't refuse and drank it all in one gulp. At that moment, a

figure suddenly appeared behind et

her, swinging a wooden stick high in the air. This scene terrified Elodie, who immediately stood up and shouted, "Griffin! Stop!"

But Elodie's attempt to stop him was too late.

The wooden stick in Griffin's hand had already struck Sophie heavily on the back of her head.

Sophie felt as if blood was trickling down in front of her eyes, and her body almost uncontrollably fell forward.

Griffin stood behind her, his gaze cold. The blow he had delivered with just half his strength was enough to seriously injure Sophie.

"Sophie!"

Elodie was stunned, then turned to Griffin with anger, saying, "What have you done? Are you insane? Who gave you permission to act without my orders?"

Griffin coldly looked at Sophie, who

was now lying on the ground, and said, "You've become like this all because of her. Even without that 10% of the shares, I could have gotten you those two billion.

"What are you trying to do? Use Sophie to threaten Colby? Do you know you're playing with fire?"
