Chapter 1330

“Odie! Why’d you have to spill the beans like that?”

Jenna shot a fiery glare at Odie, clearly frustrated.

Odie shrugged it off with a cool, “Hey, I'm not one of your crew. I can say whatever I want, and you can't stop me.”

“You!”

Sophie’s brows knitted together as she heard Odie’s words. “So, you’ve been brainstorming a way to handle this all along?”

Jenna quickly chimed in, “Sophie, you're under the weather. Let us deal with it. You shouldn’t stress about it.”

“Exactly, Sophie. Just kick back and relax. We’ve got it covered!” Adler added, backing Jenna.

Colby leaned in and whispered softly, “You just rest up now, leave the rest to me, alright?”

Sophie, touched by his concern, placed Colby's hand on her forehead. “Look, I’m all rested up. Fever’s gone. I can’t just snooze while you all are doing the heavy lifting. This involves me too.”

With a playful grin, Sophie continued, “And honestly, seeing Claire prance around as the Russell family heiress really bugs me.”

Colby’s brows furrowed with worry, seeing Sophie so set on joining in.

He didn’t want Sophie getting hurt again.

Sophie flashed him a comforting smile. “Don’t worry, if I start feeling off, I’ll take a break.”

“...Alright.”

Colby agreed, albeit reluctantly.

Sophie got the lowdown from Jenna and Adler about what was going on.

Turns out, James had been parading Claire around, hitting up two fancy parties in just as many days, dabbling in various events by day, and even hosting a press conference.

Claire had shot to fame in what seemed like no time.

Sophie couldn’t help but chuckle at James’s audacious tactics.

Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Chapter 1329 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)

Chapter 782 James was a big name, no doubt, and his knack for using her to hype up Claire was seamless.

No surprise someone like him was at the helm of Burke International, keeping the Burke family on top for so long.

Sophie declared, “If they’re playing this game, we can’t just sit on the sidelines. They want to stir things up? Two can play at that game.”

“We’re gonna jump in too?” Jenna asked, looking puzzled. “How do we pull that off? Are we going to start proving you’re the real Russell family heiress?”

“We should put the onus on them to prove they’re legit, not us,” Sophie replied. “Claire’s a phony, and fakes can’t produce real proof. Our evidence won’t withstand scrutiny, and neither will theirs. Let’s make Claire prove herself. Then we’ll knock down her claims. Let’s see how she keeps up her charade as the Russell family heiress then.”

Meanwhile, over at Burke International—

James watched as the online buzz surged, his face clouding over.

Just then, his phone buzzed.

The guy on the other end said, “Nicely done. That move was spot on.”

“Claire’s facade won’t last. A phony can’t become genuine. I bet Sophie will make her move soon.”

“Don’t sweat it. We’ve hit our mark. Who can really tell true from false anyway?”

The guy added, “But what about you? Using your sidekick like this, aren’t you afraid he might turn his back on you?”
