Chapter 916
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Hearing Sandyâs voice, Sophie lazily rolled out of bed, throwing a blanket over her shoulders as she wandered out.
The yard was a mess. Sophie pushed the door open and leaned against the frame, asking, âMs. Sandy, whatâs got you here so early?â
Sandyâs eyes went wide at the sight of Sophie in a red lace-trimmed nightgown, highlighting her skin and stunning looks.
Lounging against the door, Sophieâs every smile and movement was like a sirenâs call, utterly captivating.
Sandyâs cheeks flushed as she scolded, âEarly? Look at the time! Itâs already noon!â
Annoyed by the racket, Sophie dug at her ear and asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
âMaâam, Iâll get these folks out of here right away so you can nap undisturbed!â
Colbyâs clueless crew was about to kick the visitors out, but Sophie waved them off, âNo need, let them in.â
With that, Sophie adjusted her blanket and strolled into the living room.
The overseas weather was all over the placeâscorching one moment, freezing the next.
Sophie plopped down on the sofa and casually poured herself a cup of tea.
Sandy came in, annoyed that Sophie wasnât being more hospitable, and grumbled, âWhereâs the maid?â
âDonât have one.â
âSophie, where are your manners? You invite me in but donât offer me a seat or a cup of tea?â
Sophie glanced up at Sandy, smiled slightly, and said, âMs. Sandy, you were hollering at my front door in broad daylight. Inviting you in was already a courtesy. Want tea? Help yourself.â
âYou!â
Sandy was fuming at Sophieâs laid-back attitude but didnât have much choice. Taking a look around and seeing no maid, she frowned and said, âLetâs cut to the chase. Whereâs Vanessa?â
Sophie feigned confusion, âMs. Sandy, you mean Vanessa White?â
âDonât play dumb with me! Who else?â

âOh, her.â Sophie took a bite of an apple, âStill not broken up, huh?â
âWhat rubbish are you spouting? Vanessa is my best friend. How could I break up with her?â Sandy said, irritated. âI had my dad search for Vanessa all day and couldnât find her! You must have hidden her! I warn you, let her go now, or thereâll be consequences!â
Sandy even tried to storm further into the house, but Sophie put down her apple and said, âSeems like youâre in the dark about Vanessa and Odieâs engagement.â
Sandy froze, scoffing, âSophie, what are you talking about? Vanessa and Odie engaged? No way!â
Sophie picked up an invitation from the table and said, âThis inviteâs been making the rounds. Ms. Sandy, you didnât get one?â
Sandy was taken aback.
Sophie tossed the invitation to Sandy.
Staring down at it, Sandy read the news of Vanessa and Odieâs engagement.
Set for the night after next!
âImpossible... This has to be fake!â
âThe Minton sealâs on it. Where would I get the skill to forge that?â
Sophie said, âIf you donât believe me, go ask around. I bet most folks have heard by now.â
Sandyâs face soured.
âBut... I just broke off my engagement with Odie the day before yesterday. How could Vanessa be with him...â
âBest to ask Vanessa directly, Ms. Sandy. Maybe itâs all just a big misunderstanding.â
