Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Chapter 1099



Sandy slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly, her face turning red with urgency. "How could you fall for a married woman? How could you fall for Sophie?" "Sandy! Calm down! It's not what you think..."

"Mr. Pei's confession this afternoon really moved me. If only you had shown up earlier..." Sophie sighed with exaggerated regret.

Sandy's anger only intensified. "Oh, great! You confessed? I'm definitely telling Dad! I'll have him break your legs!"

"Sandy! Sandy!" Angelo's face darkened as Sandy stormed upstairs, her dress swishing behind her.

Sophie continued sipping her soup, completely unbothered, as if the whole situation had nothing to do with her.

"Sophie! You're being so unfair!"

"Am I not telling the truth?" Sophie looked at Angelo. "Or... do you mean you've been digging into my daily routines because you're interested in me, not because you have some other agenda?"

Angelo swallowed nervously, Sophie was exactly as James had described-not easy to fool.

If Sophie misunderstood his intentions, would he end up as the hopelessly in love second male lead?

Oh no, that role was already taken by James.

Was he going to be the third male lead?

No way!

He would never agree to that!

"Sophie, honestly, I don't really like you. I have my own... difficult issues."

Angelo's expression looked like he was constipated.

Should he really expose James?

Wouldn't James want to kill him then?

But if he didn't expose James...

Then his reputation would be ruined!

Finally, after weighing his options, Angelo reluctantly said, "Actually..."

"Actually?" Sophie waited for Angelo to spill the real reason.

Finally, Angelo blushed and said, "I'm investigating your favorite foods on behalf of my brother Kiran! Ever since he saw you at the Minton family's engagement party, he's been smitten. My sneaking out this time was with his blessing, but on the condition that I observe your preferences!"

Sophie said, "Angelo, do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Earlier in the day, Angelo had professed his affection for her.

By evening, he claimed it was his brother who harbored feelings for her.

Soon, if his lies were uncovered, would he switch to yet another person claiming to have affections for her?

"I swear! I'm telling the truth! Heaven and earth can bear witness!"

"How about making a cursed vow?"

"...There's really no need for that."

Feeling unnerved under Sophie's

gaze, Angelo eventually cleared throat and declared, "I swear!

After all, we live in a modern world now! Breaking free from superstitious beliefs!

Cursed vows, as if they could ever come true!

That's what Angelo thought, his hands clasped together under the table.

"Alright, since Angelo is so sincere, I'll believe you."

Hearing this, Angelo gave a sheepish smile. "Just believe me... that's good... just trust me..."

"But it seems Sandy has already made a call to the Pollard family. Angelo, maybe you should go check?"

"What?!"
