Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1149

"That's a bit of a hassle. My little intern will crash at your place for the night, and I'll swing by to pick him up tomorrow."

"Yes, yes, yes... What?!"

Adler snapped back to reality.

Bring that not-so-little kid to their house?

Adler immediately changed his tune, "That doesn't sound like a good idea! He is..."

A spy!

What if he tries something?

Sophie said, "That's exactly why we need to keep him close. Mr. Adler, relax. If it's inconvenient for you, we can send him to Burke Estate. Mr. Gordon is smart enough to handle it."

Jenna nodded in agreement. "That sounds good, it'll save us both some trouble."

She patted Adler on the shoulder. "Don't just stand there, get to work."

“…”

Adler grimaced.

Nothing good ever came his way!

Now, even the task of settling a minor had fallen on him.

Outside the CEO's office, Timothy saw Sophie and Colby leaving and immediately followed them. Adler called out from behind, "Hey! You, wait a sec."

Timothy stopped and looked back at Adler. "Mr. Adler, do you need something?"

"You're not going back with them tonight; you're coming with us."

Hearing this, Timothy furrowed his brows.

Jenna said, "Since Sophie brought you here, you'll stay with us at the Burke Estate."

Hearing he would stay at the Burke Estate made Timothy's frown deepen.

Sophie actually let him stay at the Burke Estate?

Was she not worried about him, or was it a deliberate trap?

Seeing Timothy's lack of response, Adler asked, "Hey? Did you hear what we said?"

"Not yet."

"How do I get out of the car?"

"I’ll help you."

"And how do I get upstairs?"

"I’ll carry you."

“…”

Sophie was completely defeated by Colby.

Colby unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the car door, every move gentle. He bent down, and Sophie, feeling around with her hands on Colby's broad back, said, "Colby, if you dare to mess with me, you're dead!"

"Our wedding night, how could I?"

Colby carried Sophie step by step up the stairs. Sophie teasingly asked, "Oh, so the new house doesn’t have an elevator? You want to exhaust me in the future?"

"With me around, you won't get tired."
