Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

When Jenna spotted Rick, she hurried over and said, "Rick! Perfect timing, I've got to ask you something..."

"The boss's condition has taken a sudden turn for the worse! It's pretty serious now! Ms. Sophie, Ms. Jenna, we need to head back right away!"

"Mr. Gordon's condition has worsened suddenly? How can that be?" Sophie exclaimed. "He was perfectly fine when I saw him yesterday!"

Suddenly, a memory flashed through Sophie's mind from when she left Gordon's room the day before. At that time... it was Harold who had walked in. "Rick, did you know Harold is the president of the Mintons?" she pressed.

Rick, who had always been Gordon's right-hand man and handled all his affairs with meticulous care, would surely be in the know if Gordon had planned something.

"What?" Rick looked completely baffled. "The younger Mr. is the president of Aldridge Global?"

Realizing Rick was clueless, Sophie instantly decided to confront Harold upstairs.

Seeing this, Jenna quickly grabbed Sophie's arm, "Sophie! What's going on? Didn't you just say we couldn't go up there?"

"Even if we can't, we need answers! What is he up to? Betraying us?"

"It's definitely a betrayal!" Sandy said furiously. "I'll go up with you and demand an explanation!"

Without giving Sophie a moment to reconsider, Sandy pulled her along and raced upstairs.

The eight men guarding the second floor immediately blocked their path.

"Mr. Aldridge has ordered no one is allowed on the second floor."

Hearing this, Sandy stepped in front of Sophie and declared, "I am the Pollard family's eldest daughter. Do you know the consequences of stopping me? Let me tell you! My daddy will have you all beaten up!" The men exchanged glances, clearly unimpressed by Sandy's threat.

Jenna pushed Sandy aside and said, "Enough with the talk! Let's do this!"This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Jenna shoved Sandy, who nearly lost her balance and had to grab the wall to steady herself. But Jenna had already taken the initiative and struck first.

The men, clearly unprepared for an attack from a woman, were caught off guard. "Sophie! Now!"

Even as Jenna shouted, Sophie had already launched a high kick. Thanks to Sandy choosing a wide-skirted dress for her, the kick created a stunning arc of lake blue in the air.

The bodyguard, unprepared, took the hit, giving Sophie the chance to rush inside. Jenna called out to Sophie who was already charging ahead, "I've got this! You go!" "Got it!"

Sophie trusted Jenna completely and dashed forward.

By the time Sophie reached the second floor, Harold's ten guards were already blocking the hallway.

"Harold! Get out here!" Sophie shouted. And right on cue, Harold appeared.

He pushed aside the bodyguards in front of him and stepped out.

Seeing Harold, Sophie suddenly felt a pang of unfamiliarity. "Why?"

All the questions she had condensed into that single word.

Harold responded coldly, "People aim for higher places. The four great families are history. Why question it?"
