Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 436

What was her relationship with Ricardo?

Sophie pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "To put it accurately, we're enemies."

Julian was silent for a while, seemingly trying to discern whether Sophie was telling the truth or not. "I've already told you about my relationship with Ricardo. Shouldn't you be honest with me too?"

To be honest, she had already noticed that Ricardo was here for Julian. The way Ricardo glared at Julian earlier was clearly like a hunter eyeing his prey. There was a thick intent to kill.

"Sorry, nothing to disclose."

As Julian turned to leave, Sophie directly stated, "Is he your brother?"

Hearing Sophie say this, Julian immediately turned back. He reached out and grabbed Sophie's throat, his eyes suddenly filled with danger, "How do you know? Who exactly are you? What else do you know?" Julian didn't apply force, and Sophie calmly said, "Your reaction proves that what I said is true."

At her words, Julian was taken aback.

Sophie vaguely remembered some rumors about the Cloude family from her past life. They were later smoothed over by the Cloude family but were better believed than doubted.

Julian and Ricardo's resemblance had Sophie guessing it to a certain extent, but she was not completely sure until her question, which fully confirmed her speculation.

Julian was indeed naive to be so easily tricked.

"Did you just trick me?" Julian frowned deeply.

Sophie nonchalantly said, "With that brain of yours, I suggest you stop trying to confront Ricardo. Better terminate your contract with Aldridge Global early and go somewhere else."

"I can't leave."

"If you don't leave, you're just waiting for your career to be destroyed." Sophie indifferently said, "There's no need for Ricardo to personally invest here. He's just making sure you're here. Now that he has invested in this project and become a shareholder, he has the right to torment you, to ruin you. Don't you understand?"

Julian pursed his lips.

It wasn't that he didn't understand; he had no choice. He could only stay here.

Sophie looked Julian up and down, suddenly remembering what Jean and the others had mentioned about a penalty fee. She couldn't help but ask, "You... don't tell me you don't have the money to leave?" Julian's ears turned red, clearly struck by her words.

Sophie chuckled dryly.

Ricardo's younger brother didn't have the money to pay the penalty fee?

Julian said in a low voice, "I... am an illegitimate child, so I don't have any money."

He was able to enter because of his face and his own qualifications. Joining Aldridge Global was his only chance to make something of himself.

"So, what's the plan? You want to fight Ricardo?"

"No."

"So, you're going to cave in?"

"...I don't want any interaction with him."

"He might fear you'll contest for the inheritance."

Sophie clearly understood Ricardo's mindset.

She was initially puzzled as to why Ricardo would make such a big effort to come from Bloomsbury to Devonport. Was it just for Rowena and the Freeman family? It turned out he had a more significant

concern.

Sophie patted Julian on the shoulder and said, "Ricardo probably wants to eliminate this hidden threat, so you'd better be careful. He will not let you off easily."
