Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 920

Jonah couldn't help but wonder where Odie got his confidence from.

Just then, a voice came from outside the suite, "Boss, Ms. Sophie is here."

"And Colby?"

"No sign of him."

Hearing this, Odie nodded with satisfaction. "Good, I'll go greet her myself."

"What?" The person outside hesitated for a moment.

Odie had already headed out, leaving Jonah to instruct the servant at the door, "Tidy up the room."

As the servant entered, they couldn't help but be amazed by the dozen suits laid out on the bed, reflecting just how seriously their boss was taking this engagement party.

In the ballroom, the guests were all business partners who had previously collaborated with the White family, and many of them were unhappy with how Colby was managing things.

As soon as Sophie walked in, she felt countless eyes on her, filled with hostility and scrutiny.

Everyone knew that Colby had returned from abroad with his new wife, Sophie. Though they hadn't officially tied the knot, their relationship was already public knowledge.

Overseas, everyone was aware of Vanessa's affection for Colby. Before Sophie came into the picture, many thought Vanessa would end up as Colby's wife.

Being an outsider from Devonport, Sophie didn't receive a warm welcome from the guests.

"Who invited her?" a woman's voice rang out from a corner.

The guests shook their heads, suddenly showering Sophie with compliments as if they'd never been hostile.

Seeing Odie's attention elsewhere, Vanessa stepped forward and took Odie's arm. "Odie, tonight is our engagement party. Why didn't you tell me Mrs. Costello was coming? I should have greeted her first."

Facing Vanessa's performance, Odie glanced down at his arm, now entwined with hers, and said, "Ms. Vanessa, the guests over there need your attention."

Odie's formal address made Vanessa uncomfortable, as if he was publicly calling her out for pretending in front of Sophie.

With the atmosphere growing awkward, Vanessa reluctantly let go of Odie's arm, saying, "Then I'll go over there..."

Odie nodded in approval.

Once Vanessa had moved on to greet other guests, Sophie couldn't resist a sarcastic remark, "Mr. Odie, she is your fiancée, after all."
