Chapter 798
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Overseas, the Pollard family and the Minton family from Summerfield made their way to Devonport, looking to make waves with their new ventures.
They even threw a fancy dinner party to mark the occasion. Naturally, the local merchants who had been dying to rub elbows with the Pollard and Minton families scrambled to snag an invite to this high-profile shindig.
Everyone was buzzing with excitement, convinced that this partnership between the two families was destined to be the next big thing.
âMs. Sophie, are you going to the dinner?â Tricia's voice wavered a bit over the phone.
S Corporation had indeed received an invite, but it was addressed to Blake. The hitch? Blake was a completely made-up persona, and the real brains behind S Corporation was Sophie.
Skipping the dinner could be risky. Not showing up might ruffle some feathers with the Minton and Pollard families, which was something S Corporation definitely didn't need if they wanted to steer clear of any future drama.
âIâll be there,â Sophie replied, her tone steady and cool. Tricia hesitated. âBut Ms. Sophie, the invite isnât for you. Isnât it a bit... off to attend?â
âThe invite is for the head of S Corporation. Thatâs me.â
âMs. Sophie, are you thinking of revealing your role?â Tricia was taken aback.
Such a move would surely cause a stir online!
Sophie had been the target of plenty of online gossip, with people accusing her of cozying up to the rich to cling to a lavish lifestyle. There were even whispers about her being a gold-digger.
She had kept her identity under wraps to avoid James and Burke International from realizing her worth, making her divorce smoother. But now, she had divorced, and she was done with the guessing games about her and Colby.
âGet me a stunning dress. Itâs time to come clean,â Sophie said.
This reveal would shake things up, no doubt. First in line to be shocked would be the matriarch of the Burke family, who had gone to great lengths to split up Sophie and James. Little did she know that the granddaughter-in-law sheâd worked so hard to push away was actually the head of S Corporation.
And then there was Ricardo. Sophie had caught wind of Ricardoâs return to Devonport from Summerfield. Heâs now broke and desperate after Odie cut him off. If he found out she was the mastermind behind S Corporation, it would dawn on him that heâd been outplayed by Sophie all along. His reaction would be priceless.

ï¤Chapter 797 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Chapter 782 âHave you made up your mind?â Colby asked, wrapping his arms around Sophie from behind in their bedroom.
âYep. I canât keep letting people think Iâm with you just for the money.â
âIf only it were that simple. They have no clue how hard I had to work to win you over.â Colby chuckled, planting a soft kiss on her neck.
Colby didnât have much going for him aside from his wealth. If money was what Sophie wanted, heâd hand it all over without a second thought. In fact, he pretty much already had.
As evening fell, Odie and the Pollard family set up the dinner at the Pollard familyâs newly acquired mansion.
Odie was upstairs, fiddling with the cuffs of his suit. He wasnât born into high society, much like Colby. The difference was, Colby was lucky enough to be born into wealth, while Odie had to claw his way up, using every cunning and ruthless trick in the book to get adopted by the Minton family. He hated formal suits and ties, but he had no choice but to endure them.
