Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

In the afternoon, Sophie was on edge, waiting for a text from Jenna. She clutched her phone like a lifeline, pacing up and down the second-floor hallway.noveldrama

"Ms. Sophie, everything alright?" the housekeeper asked, glancing at her with a hint of curiosity. From earlier that day, Sophie had been restlessly circling the floor, worry written all over her face.

"Oh, nothing," Sophie shrugged it off with a little white lie. "Just stretching my legs."

The housekeeper nodded, suggesting, "If you're looking for a walk, the back garden's a nice spot. Mr. Gordon won't be home for dinner tonight, so feel free to eat whenever. If there's anything special you fancy, just let me know, and I'll have it made."

"My brother's not home tonight? Is he tied up with work?" Sophie questioned. Normally, her brother's team handled his business affairs, and it was unusual for him to skip dinner at home.

"I'm not sure, Miss. I'll let the kitchen know," the housekeeper replied, quickly shifting away from the topic. Sophie's curiosity only grew as the housekeeper left.

Something's definitely fishy here!

Quietly, Sophie tiptoed downstairs. In the kitchen, she overheard two maids chatting while preparing dinner. "I heard Mr. Gordon's meeting up with Emmalee tonight. They haven't caught up since college, right?"

"Didn't Emmalee have a thing for him back then? Did they ever date?" one asked.

Sophie froze outside the kitchen, straining to catch every word.

College? Her brother had a girlfriend in college? How did she not know this?

Eager to learn more, Sophie caught snippets of their chat: "Seems like Mr. Gordon and Emmalee are meeting at the Grand Hotel. I'm dying to know what their deal is."

The Grand Hotel...

Sophie quickly pieced things together and shot Jenna a text: "Jenna, can you get me to the Grand Hotel? My brother's dining with some woman!" swnovel

Jenna fired back almost instantly: "On it! Be there in 10!"

Jenna ditched her work obligations and zoomed over to pick up Sophie.

Sophie was stunned by Jenna's swift arrival. Climbing into the car, she couldn't help but ask, "Jenna, how'd you get here so fast?"

Typically, it took a good half-hour from Dennis Group's office, but Jenna had made it in fifteen minutes flat.

"Driving like a maniac, ran a couple of red lights!" Jenna admitted with a cheeky grin.

Sophie frowned, "Jenna! You can't just run red lights!"

"Save the lecture! Let's get moving!" Jenna said, flooring the gas pedal.

As they sped along, Jenna shared, "I dug up some info on this Emmalee. Turns out, she and Gordon were college classmates. She was second in the class, and your brother was top. She had a real crush on him and even confessed back then!" swnovel

"And then? Did they ever get together?" Sophie was on pins and needles.

Jenna shrugged, "I've got no idea,

but everyone thought they were the perfect pair. There's even this-

romantic legend about your brother and Emmalee at that university abroad." swnovel

Hearing this, Sophie's expression shifted dramatically: "This can't be happening!"

"Chill, Sophie. Those are just stories. We'll find out what Emmalee's deal is soon enough!"
