Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 394

Sophie's name was all over the internet.

In truth, the Russell family owned quite a few properties, but most were unoccupied year-round. Sophie chose a luxurious apartment close to the city center, boasting about 1600 square feet-more than enough space for her alone.

The moving company had everything sorted out within three days.

That day, Sophie broke her usual silence by posting an update on her social media.

'Embracing a new life!'

The post included a selfie, half her face visible, and a photo of her new living room.

Jenna commented: [Wow, love it! I want to come over for dinner tonight!]

Adler added: [Count me in. I can cook something special!]

Colby simply said: [Nice.]

Reading these comments warmed Sophie's heart. In her past life, she didn't have many friends, but this time around, she had made many. When she refreshed her feed, she saw a like from James, which dampened her spirits.

The next moment, a new comment popped up.

Harold: [The layout of this house looks familiar?]

Then, he added another comment.

Harold: [Oh, my family owns a similar one.]

Sophie opened her chat with Harold. She noticed not all posts on his timeline were visible, and it had been months since their last conversation.

'Harold joined the army, did you know?' She recalled the words Gordon had said.

In the end, Sophie decided to put her phone down and not reply to the posts.

Initially, she had approached Harold with a purpose, but over time, she had genuinely come to think of him as a friend. It was better not to give Harold any false hope over something that wouldn't work out. "After the bankruptcy of Russell Enterprises, she made a high-profile debut!"

"The downfall of an heiress seeking a livelihood."

"With no follow-up after the divorce, would there be speculation about Sophie and James getting back together?"

The next day, the internet was abuzz with topics about Sophie and James.

Seeing these headlines, Sophie was devastated. She knew Gordon's tactics, but she hadn't expected the paparazzi Gordon enlisted to be so effective.

The buzz that had settled down a few days ago was flaring up again, and today was her first day at Aldridge Global.

The moment she stepped into the company, Sophie felt a different vibe from other corporations.

The decor was high-end and luxurious, the kind of modern opulence that might be intimidating at a glance.

As Sophie entered, all the employees were busy, the sound of phones ringing constantly, yet everything seemed orderly, not chaotic, with each person focused on their tasks. The tense atmosphere was almost suffocating.

"You must be Sophie, right? The newbie? Follow me this way."

Skye looked Sophie up and down. Skye was dressed in professional attire, with her hair cut short and neat. She clearly looked like a hardworking agent.

Sophie followed Skye and reached the rehearsal room, where a group of uniformly dressed women turned their heads towards Sophie.

Each woman was strikingly beautiful, ranging from cute to mature to sexy and aloof, and even the pure and innocent girl-next-door type.

Any one of them could be the next big star.

This was no ordinary rehearsal room. It was clearly a battleground!

As soon as Sophie entered, she was met with challenging stares. Some had hands on their hips, and others had their arms crossed. Each and everyone of them looked provocative.
