Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 666

Adler thought it was something significant, but Colby pulled out two invitations and handed them to Adler and Jenna.

"Engagement invitations?" Adler and Jenna were both taken aback.

Colby rubbed his temples and said, "Take a closer look."

After sharing a glance, Adler and Jenna opened the invitations and examined them more closely. That was when Jenna noticed the key detail. "Is this... a wedding invitation?"

Sophie leaned into Colby's embrace, her smile beaming. "Yes, you guys are going to be the best man and maid of honor at our wedding."

Adler exclaimed in surprise, "Seriously? You guys are doing flash marriage?"

"What flash marriage? Sophie and I have been together for quite some time now, you know?"

"How long exactly? It hasn't even been forty-eight hours since Sophie's divorce was finalized! Wouldn't this be explosive news if it got out?"

Sophie and Colby shared a knowing smile, having discussed this just last night. Colby had even had Tricia print the invitations, naturally prioritizing their best man and maid of honor, as well as Colby's grandfather.

Sophie explained, "Though the engagement party is happening first, the wedding won't be too far off. We wanted to tell you guys early so you could prepare your dress and suit without any rush." Jenna's eyes filled with tears. "Oh my! I will be a maid of honor for the first time in my life! I'm so touched!"

She hugged Sophie tightly, sniffling, "Sophie, don't worry. If Colby ever dares to mistreat you, I'll go straight to Lennon and have him teach Colby a lesson!"

Sophie laughed, adding, "But before the wedding, I have another important matter to attend to."

Jenna, puzzled, asked, "What could possibly be more important than your engagement?"

Sophie's smile faded slightly.

Two days had passed, and by now, Ricardo should have sensed that something was amiss.

In the evening, Ricardo stared at the trending topics page on his computer.

The leaks about Julian earning an astronomical fee were countered by official denials that Julian had donated his entire savings to the

and the label of a young

Angel Orphanage, earning t

fame

philanthropist.

They also tried to scandalize Julian with accusations of solicitation, but an anticipated hit drama series' official account debunked this, inadvertently boosting the new series' popularity.

The most infuriating scandal was

Shirley's accusation that Julian had dumped her upon gaining fame. However, the S Corporation's PR team seemed to have anticipated this move, quickly proving that the two were never in a romanti relationship and exposing Shirley's years of unrequited obsession with Julian.

The billions spent on PR went to waste. Ricardo smashed his computer on the desk.

"Damn it!"

Ricardo's expression was grim as he immediately pulled out his phone to call Booker.

The call went unanswered for a while, and just before it would have disconnected, Booker finally picked up. "Mr. Ricardo."

"Why did you take so long to answer

the phone? Do you realize the situation in Devonport? Julian hasn't been taken down, and I've lost billions in PR expenses! Moreover, several executives in Devonport who had issues with S Corporation have suddenly turned against us, making our situation extremely unfavorable. The investments we made are all wasted. You need to think of something fast and mobilize funds immediately! The Cloude Enterprises branch I've just established in Devonport can't collapse as soon as it hits the market!"
