Chapter 1296
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Ricardo looked like he'd been hit where it hurt, glaring at Adler, who didnât even flinch. âMr. Ricardo, you need to realize your situation. We're being generous by letting you stay here for a chat. If we were heartless, we'd force you to repay your debts, and you'd be considering jumping off a building by now!â
âWhy do you talk so much?â Jenna cut in. âCanât you just shut up?â
As soon as Jenna spoke, Adler promptly zipped his lips.
Sophie, who was watching Timothy busy in the kitchen, said, âTimothy, please take Mr. Ricardo upstairs. Show him to the guest room at the end of the hallway; he likes his privacy.â
âYes, Ms. Sophie.â
As Timothy walked over, the marks from Sophieâs previous reprimand were still visible on his neck. Odie noticed and instantly understood that Sophie was just finding a reason to send Timothy away.
Once Timothy and Ricardo were upstairs, Sophie turned to Adler. âMr. Adler, the ledger.â
Adler spread his hands, remaining silent.
Jenna frowned. âWhereâs the ledger?â
âYou told me not to talk, remember?â
âAre you looking for a slap?â
Seeing Jenna about to raise her hand, Adler quickly said, âThe ledgerâs in your bag! You forgot!â
â...â Realizing her mistake, Jenna sheepishly pulled the ledger from her bag, apologizing, âSorry, got so caught up in the story, I forgot.â
She placed the Tredgold familyâs ledger on the table, noticing it wasnât much different from those of the Russell and Aldridge families.
âNow we just need the Costello familyâs ledger from Colbyâs chapel. Weâll grab it today,â Sophie told Jenna. âThereâs a mole in our midst, so keep this ledger with you for now. Weâll review it in my room when Colby and I get back tonight.â
Handing the ledger to Jenna, Sophie ensured its safety.
Jenna nodded, reassuring, âDonât worry, itâs safe with me.â

ï¤Chapter 782 From across the room, Angelo asked, âWait, what about Ricardo? Are we just going to let him stay at Burke Estate?â
Sophie raised an eyebrow, asking, âMr. Angelo, why are you so concerned?â
Angelo guiltily averted his gaze, mumbling, â...Just curious. Burke Estate is practically turning into a refuge, everyone with a home choosing to stay here instead.â
But what really worried him was Sophieâs quick thinking. If she managed to get information about his overseas interrogation of Ricardo, it would be a disaster.
His biggest fear was Ricardo betraying James. It was uncertain if Ricardo had guessed Jamesâ identity as Logan. If he had, James would lose his chance to get close to Sophie under the guise of Logan.
Sophie smiled slightly, saying, âDonât worry, Ricardo... I still have use for him.â
Sophieâs look sent a chill down Angeloâs spine. What use could Ricardo possibly have now?
âColby, letâs go.â
âAlright.â
Following Sophie, Colby left the room, leaving Odie to turn to Angelo with a challenging look. âMr. Angelo, letâs have a chat, shall we?â
