Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Chapter 1071



"...Griffin."

Griffin's face twisted with humiliation.

Sophie nodded slightly. "Griffin, were you working as a henchman for Mr. Elwood, just like Colby and the others?"

"Wouldn't it be better to ask him that?"

"Why did you kill Colby?"

"You put her in a difficult spot."

"Is that really the only reason?" Sophie raised an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in her voice. "You must have some strong feelings for Ms. Elodie."

Griffin looked away, his voice barely a whisper. "She's the kindest woman I've ever known."

"I'm not really interested in your love saga. I need you to explain why you went to such lengths to kill Colby."

"You don't know?"

Griffin scoffed. "Colby was suppressing Reeves International to clear the way for you, and you're telling me you didn't know?"

Sophie frowned. "When did this start?"

"From the day you transferred your shares to Elodie. That's when Reeves International in Harbor City started feeling the pressure. You

didn't know Colby sent people toet

seize shares of Burke International? If Elodie didn't hand over the Burke International shares, Colby would go after the Reeves family! Elodie's mother, who's already sick, has become a hostage in Colby's hands. You didn't know any of this?"

Griffin blurted out too much in one go.

Sophie remembered how Colby had been busy with wedding preparations lately, always out early and back late.

Colby... was he still not planning to let go of Burke International's shares?

In her previous life, Colby had abandoned his overseas assets to compete in Devonport with James. She had thought Devonport was important to Colby, never considering that he was after Burke International's shares.

Sophie spoke coolly, "Griffin, when Ms. Elodie and James used Jenna to threaten us, why were you silent? Colby is only fighting fire with fire. Ms. Elodie's mother is important to you; Jenna is important to us. In business, it's about winning or losing, not what's despicable. You have no room to judge."

"She said the same thing," Griffin's tone grew somber. "But I won't let her suffer."

"So, Elodie plans to hand over the Burke International shares?"

"What else? Who could be as cold-blooded as Colby? Sophie, don't think Colby loves you that much. When he first approached you in Devonport, he knew you were Burke of Burke International.

wanted to exploit your rockene

relationship with James to engineer a divorce. That way, James would lose the Russell family's

connections, and Colby could step in more easily."

Griffin's words dripped with disdain for Colby.

But Sophie remained unruffled. "I knew from the start that Colby had ulterior motives. Initially, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement, nothing more. Now, I know Colby is sincere. I've seen everything he's done for me. What happened at the start doesn't matter anymore. If you're trying to drive a wedge between us, you're not clever enough."

Predictably, Griffin fell silent.

Sophie had no more questions. She turned to leave when Griffin called out urgently, "Wait! You promised me you'd give me the antidote."
