Chapter 942
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Sophie and Colby had just dropped Sandy off at the Pollard family home. As soon as they arrived, Sandy spotted Angelo anxiously waiting at the door.
"Brother!"
Sandy rushed over. A spark of joy lighted up Angelo's face. He was about to hug her when he noticed Sophie and Colby standing behind her.
His smile froze, and his outstretched arms hung awkwardly in mid-air.
This wasnât in the playbook! How was he supposed to react to seeing Colby and Sophie?
James! Where the heck are you when I need you?
Sandy, oblivious to Angelo's unease, threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "I thought Iâd never see you again!"
With tears streaming down her face, Sandy looked up to see Angelo nervously eyeing Sophie and Colby. She asked, puzzled, "What's going on?"
Angelo snapped back to reality. Seeing his sister's tear-streaked face, he awkwardly shifted her to one side and, in a steady, deep voice, said, "Sandy, we have guests. Mind your manners."
Manners? Since when did she ever worry about manners at home?
"It seems Mr. Costello and Mrs. Costello saved Sandy. We owe you both a big thank you."
Angelo's palms were sweaty as he turned away, but Sophie just smiled and said, "Mr. Pollard, arenât you going to ask about the bodyguard you sent?"
"Bodyguard?"
Angelo immediately thought of James. Damn, James and his masked persona â how did he end up as a bodyguard?
Who hires a bodyguard who wears a mask all the time?
Thinking Angelo hadnât caught on to who she meant, Sophie continued, "Iâm talking about Logan."
Logan? Who the heck is Logan?
"He... is indeed a bodyguard for the Pollard family. What about him? Didnât he come back with you?"
Sophie replied, "He could have, but in the blink of an eye, he vanished. It seems your man is quite the elusive one, Mr. Pollard."

ï¤Chapter 782 "He always is. But Sandy is safe, and that's what matters. Thank you both for tonight," Angelo said before casting a probing glance at Sophie and then offering, "Would you like to stay for a cup of tea?"
Sophie, linking arms with Colby, declined, "Thank you. We've delivered her safe and sound, so Colby and I will be leaving now."
As the couple prepared to leave, Sandy quickly said, "Sophie, I owe you one. Iâll repay you!"
"Sure." Sophie smiled slyly, clearly not intending to be modest about it.
Angelo couldnât wait for Sophie and Colby to leave. He pretended to be calm as he said, "Take care."
Watching Sophie and Colby turn to leave, Angelo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
On the surface, he appeared composed, but inside, he was a mess. It seemed he needed to have a more detailed talk with James next time.
"Whatâs going on?" Sandy looked puzzled.
Angelo retorted, "You actually asked? Going out late at night because someone called for you? Do you want Dad to break your legs?"
"Dad wouldn't dare lay a hand on me." Sandy pouted, discontented. Angelo took a deep breath and asked, "What about the bodyguard I sent to rescue you?"
"How should I know! And speaking of which, what kind of bodyguard did you send? He didnât care about me at all!"
The thought of the masked figure made Sandy's skin crawl.
