Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 1164

"Pack your bags; we're heading to Devonport."

"Now?" Jonah hesitated. "But what about Summerfield while we're gone?"

With a mole in Summerfield, Odie leaving now could spell trouble for the Mintons. If the person lurking in the shadows took this opportunity to strike, their absence would be the perfect chance for an attack.

"Don't worry, we'll only be gone a few days. If I, as the newly appointed CEO of Burke International, don't show up and take charge, it wouldn't look right."

Odie adjusted his tie, not missing the chance to flaunt his new power. Securing a foothold in Devonport that could rival Colby was a victory he was eager to show off.

Jonah nodded, "I'll book the flights right away."

"And make sure the reporters in Devonport are there to meet us. I want the whole town to know that I, Odie, am the new CEO of Burke International, a force to be reckoned with against Colby!"

"Got it," Jonah replied, still puzzled by his boss's need to show off. After all, the CEO position was something Odie had bought from Sophie. Why not mention how much he paid her? What's there to boast about? Meanwhile, in Devonport-

Sophie and Adler returned to Burke Estate to replace several captives, caught by Colby and Jenna, held in the living room. Jenna, with one high heel pressed on a captive's shoulder, demanded, "Who sent you to kill us? Spill it!" "I... I really don't know..."

Clearly, these guys had already taken a beating from Jenna and Colby, their faces bruised and swollen.

"Don't know? Then I'll make you talk..."

Jenna raised her hand to strike again, but Sophie intervened, "Jenna! You'll kill him if you keep this up!"

Colby and I have been questioning them all morning. They claim they were paid to do this job, but when asked who hired them, they say they don't know! It's infuriating!"

Sophie glanced at the bound thugs and asked, "Were you ordered to kill

Do me share agreement.

from me?"

"Both... both..."

One thug, battered the worst, barely dared to look up. Sophie approached him, "Are you their leader?" "...Yes."

"How did the transaction go down?"

"Online, a payment."

"And don't tell me this gear is standard issue from your thug company."

Sophie had seen similar masked individuals in Summerfield, and these thugs' masks matched those she had seen at the Pearl Hotel.

QUMS

"Company issued... we just take orders."

"Where's this company located?"

The man glanced at Colby, having already answered these questions earlier.

Colby spoke coolly, "144 Peace Alley. My people have already checked it out." "And found nothing?"

"Place was empty when they got there."

Hearing this, Sophie couldn't shake her suspicions. The enemy's cautious approach suggested that the person behind Griffin was no small fry.
