Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 1131

This time, they got lucky.

"Be careful. I'll step in if I need to."

"But most of the time, you can't, right?"

There were too many hunters around. If Logan's identity got exposed, things would get even messier.

"Don't worry, I can handle myself."

At worst, she had her secret weapon. Sophie glanced at the watch on her wrist. The whole venue was jammed with signal blockers. The watch James had given her had a one-touch alarm system, but it needed a signal to work. She'd been running around the second floor not just to buy Sandy some time but also to replace a signal and locate Vanessa. Now that she knew Vanessa was on the fifth floor, there was no point in staying on the second. "Thanks, I owe you one."

Logan tossed a small folding knife into her hand, his voice cool. "Just don't forget it."

With that, Logan casually slung a socialite over his shoulder.

Sophie frowned. "What about them...?"

"Relax, I'm just putting on a show. I'll stash them somewhere safe soon."

"Alright!"

Sophie slipped off her shoes and sprinted towards the third floor. She'd been conserving her energy, but now, with the folding knife for protection and the combat skills Colby had drilled into her, she might just have an edge in this twisted game.

As she ran upstairs, her black dress helped her blend in, and the hunters paid her little mind. Just as Logan said, they were mostly causing chaos and targeting other socialites. Vanessa's real aim was to push Sophie and the others to the edge. Vanessa wanted to drag this out, ensuring the game didn't end too soon.

Meanwhile, Sandy was growing worried, not having seen Sophie in her white dress.

What if Sophie had been caught?

At the same time, over at the Minton family mansion...

"Knock, knock."

"Come in."

Colby leaned against the bed, his voice flat.

Timothy walked in with dinner, and Colby frowned. "Why are you bringing the food?"

"Ms. Sophie asked me to take care of everyone, so here I am."

Colby's frown deepened, recalling Sophie's words.

"I bet Timothy will make his move tonight. Odie and Jonah have been called away by the Spellman family Once we leave, it'll just be you and Angelo Angelo's defenseless and naive. You're also seriously injured. Timothy will probably try to slip away from the Minton family to set a trap for me. But that's if I'm right about him being a suspect."

Timothy hadn't left.

So, someone else was gunning for Sophie at the dinner?

Colby's grip tightened around the book he was holding. Once Timothy set down the tray and left, Colby get up. He threw on a jacket, loaded the gun hidden in his bedside drawer, and jumped out the second-floor window.

The impact tore at his wound, but he gritted his teeth against the pain and dizziness, heading for the Minton

This time... Sophie had been half wrong!

But even that could be deadly.
