Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 443

Mr. Devin heard Ricardo speak up. He was deeply concerned for his beloved daughter, threw caution to the wind, and shouted at the trainees jogging around, "Everyone stop!"

As soon as he had spoken, those who had been hopping stopped in their tracks, collapsing onto the ground, exhausted.

"I'm waiting to see how you're going to make me lose out."

Sophie smiled faintly, saying nothing.

Ricardo turned to leave, and Mr. Devin hurried after him.

As the evening grew darker, the intense training had left everyone too drained to even think about dinner.

"I feel like my legs aren't mine anymore..."

"It's all Sophie's fault. She should have just danced earlier. Why play hard to get!"

The complaints continued among the girls, but Sophie had already disappeared without a trace.

Johnny was puzzled. "What's the deal with Mr. Ricardo? Is he messing with us, or is he just crazy? Yeah, he's got to be crazy!"

Julian put down his fork and then casually cleaned up his plate.

Seeing this, Johnny couldn't help but pause. "Hey! Is that all you're eating?"

Julian glanced at the clock and walked over to the practice field, arriving fifteen minutes ahead of schedule.

Suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder. Julian turned, expecting Sophie, but it was Shirley. A flicker of discomfort crossed Shirley's face as she asked, "Are you waiting for someone here?" "That's none of your business."

As Julian prepared to leave, Shirley grabbed his arm, saying, "Are you waiting for Sophie?"

Julian frowned, shaking off Shirley's hand. "We're not close, so please stay out of my affairs."

"We're neighbors, and we've grown up together. I just don't want you to be fooled by a woman like Sophie! She's married and has a husband, yet she's still messing around outside! How could you fall for someone like that?"

"Shut up!"

Before Julian could finish, Sophie walked over and said, "I thought Captain Shirley was the most dignified and proud in our entire trainee team, one who wouldn't talk behind people's backs. It turns out that's not the case."

Shirley saw Sophie approach and frowned. "Julian, you were waiting for her."

"Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?" Sophie asked.

"No." Julian cut off any misconception about their relationship directly.

Shirley said, "Sophie, I should tell you, Julian can't have a girlfriend, so please stay away from him!"

"You shouldn't box yourself into a corner. Who is he to you? Is what he wants to do any of your business?"

"You!" Shirley wasn't one for arguments, yet she found herself at a loss for words this time.

Julian took Sophie's arm, pulling her close, and said coldly, "Don't reason with irrelevant people."

"Julian! Your mom would be unhappy with this!"

"What's it to you?" Frowning, Julian then led Sophie away towards the other side of the field.

Sophie said, "You didn't have to make it so tense with her. It's clear she likes you."

Julian looked at Sophie coolly. "If you're here to talk about such pointless things, then we have nothing to discuss."
