Chapter 750
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Back at the Minton estate, Polly had the chef whip up a series of healthful dishes for Sophie, all of which were delivered straight to her room.
âThis oneâs premium chicken soup with wild rice, this is herbal tea with ginseng and ginger, this is a special jelly made from red wine and berries, this is braised mutton, and this...â
âHold up.â
Sophie, lounging on her bed, eyed the cart full of dishes and asked, âAre all these for me?â
Polly responded, âThe boss ordered these especially for you, Ms. Sophie. Youâve been hurt, and the kitchen made these nutritious dishes to help you get better.â
âAll this? How long do they think itâll take me to finish?â Sophie frowned. âIâll just have a bowl of the soup. Take the rest away.â
âMs. Sophie, the boss really thought about your health with all this.â
Then, Polly placed all the dishes on the table in front of the couch.
Looking at the spread of dishes, Sophie felt it was way over the top.
Is Odie genuinely concerned about her, or is he trying to overfeed her?
After mulling it over for a moment, Sophie said, âPolly, you stay. Let everyone else go. With so many people around, I feel awkward eating.â
Polly nodded and gave the other maids a look. They quickly exited the room, closing the door behind them.
âMs. Sophie, let me help you up.â
Polly stepped forward to assist Sophie out of bed.
âPolly, do you know Leticiaâs father, Mr. Daniel Gibbs?â
Polly froze for a moment. Sensing her hesitation, Sophie asked, âIs Mr. Gibbsâ reputation that bad? Whatâs the Gibbs familyâs standing here in Summerfield?â
After a brief silence, Polly replied, âThe Gibbs family is a century-old business in Summerfield, very well-known and respected. Mr. Gibbs is a prominent businessman and philanthropist, helping many families. Heâs considered a great benefactor.â

ï¤Chapter 782 âA great benefactor?â Sophie thought about the Mr. Gibbs she met today and Odieâs description of Daniel. It didnât really match the image of a great benefactor.
âSo... does Daniel have a lot of illegitimate daughters?â
Polly smiled and said, âMs. Sophie, why would you think that? Mr. Gibbs has a reputation to uphold. There are many rumors, but theyâre mostly baseless.â
âI see...â Sophie noticed the uneasy look on Pollyâs face and deliberately said, âOh, I think my injury might have worsened. Could you get a doctor for me?â
âOf course, Iâll get the doctor right away, Ms. Sophie.â
After Polly left, Sophie got up, walked to the door, and asked the two maids standing there, âDoes Ms. Leticia visit the Minton family often?â
âNot really. Mr. Odie doesnât like having guests over. Ms. Sophie, are you curious about Ms. Leticia?â
âI heard Ms. Leticia is Mr. Gibbsâ illegitimate daughter, and thatâs why Mr. Odie and Ms. Leticia have never gotten engaged. Is that true?â
The two maids exchanged puzzled looks and said, âMs. Sophie, so you still donât know...â
âWhat do you mean?â
âWhen Mr. Gibbs was younger, he was always caught up in scandals. In recent years, many illegitimate children have tried to make claims against Mr.
Gibbs, causing quite a stir. But Mr. Gibbs has always ignored these claims.â
âOh? Whyâs that?â
