Chapter 1909
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
As the sun spilled its warm light over the horizon, Adlerâs wedding crew rolled up to Jennaâs front door. Dressed in a sharp white suit, Adler stepped into the Dennis family home, catching his breath with each step. Despite the slightly tousled hair, he still carried that typical charming and dashing aura.
âJenna! Iâm here to whisk you away!â he announced, his face radiating pure joy, as he dropped to one knee, ready to hand Jenna a bouquet of fresh flowers.
Sophie cleared her throat, interjecting, âMr. Adler, arenât you forgetting something?â
âForget? What did I forget?â Adler paused, momentarily thrown off. He had meticulously gone over the wedding plans with Colby and couldnât think of a thing heâd missed.
âYou forgot the gifts,â Sophie reminded him.
Sandy, who had just flown in from overseas with a delayed flight, chimed in. She would have been there earlier to add to the fun as a bridesmaid if not for the delay. Elodie, another bridesmaid, walked in and added, âEven if no oneâs blocking the door, Mr. Adler, itâs tradition. We bridesmaids expect our gifts.â
âRed envelopes...â Adlerâs face turned a bit sheepish.
Caught up with plans to switch the venue earlier that day, he had completely overlooked the promise of gifts to Sophie. In a moment of silent plea, Adler glanced over at Colby for help.
Colby, ever unflappable, calmly fished out a few bank cards from his pocket, handing them to Sophie, Elodie, and Sandy. Seeing this, Adler was genuinely touched, almost to tears. What a true friend!
But soon, suspicion crept in. With a low, secretive voice, Adler asked, âWhere did you get the extra cash?â
âWho said it was my extra cash?â
âOh, getting paid by Sophie now?â
âI swiped it from your wallet before we left.â
âWhat!â
Adlerâs eyes widened in surprise. âYou!â
âIs there a problem?â
âYouâre a real pal, taking it so precisely...â
âDonât be silly, of course I believe you,â Jenna replied, her face glowing with a smile.
With Jenna safely in the wedding car and off to the ceremony, Sophie and Colby settled into another ride.
âWhy do these wedding cars look so familiar?â Sophie wondered aloud. âArenât these the same drivers Lennon hired for our wedding?â
âThe old wedding car wasnât an option,â Colby explained.
âWhyâs that?â Sophie asked, puzzled. Why would a perfectly good wedding car suddenly be out of commission?

âAnd the wedding venue? Is it far?â
âNot far,â Colby assured her. âYou know the place.â
âI do?â Sophie was intrigued.
Soon, the car pulled up in front of a familiar hotel. Recognizing the sign, Sophie was taken aback.
Indeed, she knew it well. Massaging her temples, she sighed, âSo... why the Four Seasons Hotel for the wedding?â
âFor... various reasons,â Colby replied, dodging a more detailed explanation.
