Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Gordon, who was supposed to look frail, had a healthy flush on his cheeks that evening. He said casually, "Tonight was risky, but at least the show went on as planned." "Sir, since Ms. Sophie has shown she can think for herself, it proves your mentoring was successful. Should we pull our people back from Mr. Colby's side now?" Leaning back in his wheelchair, Gordon replied nonchalantly, "Let them stay a bit longer. He's still fuming. Let him cool off before we pull back."

Rick couldn't help but interject, "But that's too harsh on our guys..."

"No one's going to die. We'll double their holiday bonuses."

Outside the Costello Corporation, on a closed-off street, four vans had Colby completely surrounded, with the Aldridge family's security swarming him. Colby, wielding a taser, had just fought off one wave of attackers when another followed closely behind.

After three grueling hours, the security team was completely spent.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Colby, with a dark expression, demanded, "Aren't you going to leave?" "Colby... we're just following orders. You can't go back now!"

The security guard attempted to call for a truce, but Colby kicked him away.

"Spare us, Colby! We're just following orders, from Mr. Gordon..."

Colby cut him off coldly, "Then go ask your Mr. Gordon for compensation!"

With another kick, the guard was sent flying.

As night fell, Sophie and the others dragged their exhausted bodies back to Burke Estate, only to see Angelo, dressed in a suit, entering from the back door. Everyone stopped in their tracks, their gazes on Angelo varied, especially Sophie's.

Pointing at Sophie, Angelo hesitated, "You guys..."

Are back?

Everyone looked Angelo up and down, unable to associate the man before them with Kiran they saw earlier in the Regent Hotel's lobby.

"Well done, Mr. Angelo! I never thought you could be so commanding in front of others!"

Jenna patted Angelo's shoulder hard, causing him to cry out in pain, "What commanding presence!"

Adler stepped forward, saying, "Stop pretending! We all saw it - that aura,

that tone, it was like a boss incarnate! Even Harold was

Angelo was completely lost.

What boss incarnate?

What Harold?

He had no memory of this.

Jenna continued, “But no matter, Sandy is safe, and Harold turned out to be a traitor. We need to be

"Indeed. Who would've thought Harold would turn out so bad as he grew up! What was he after!"

Adler crossed her arms in frustration.

"There's no point dwelling on it now," Sophie

Angelo, "Where's my Bluetoothel. bet earpiece? Give it to me.

"...What Bluetooth earpiece?"

"The one I put in your ear before we got in the car."

""..."

Angelo instinctively touched his ear.

There was no earpiece to be found.
