Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Chapter 1105



"You're

lying."

Odie's voice was ice-cold. "Maybe I can't beat you at your own game, but don't think I'm an idiot."

He stepped up to James, his eyes piercing. "You promised me shares in Burke International, then turned around and pledged those same shares to Sophie. Were you trying to double-cross me, making me work for you with nothing to show for it? Is that what this is?" "Mr. Odie, you're reading too much into it."

Odie sneered. "James, don't take me for a fool. You've already signed a share transfer agreement with Sophie. In three months, Burke International goes to her. You end up as just the ex-CEO. The shares you promised me are worthless. You've been scheming to hand Burke International over to Sophie, and now you want me to wrest it from her?"

James chuckled. "It seems... Mr. Odie isn't as clueless as I thought."

Odie's face turned stony. "Sophie just got the share transfer document from Elodie, and she was targeted the moment she walked out. I saw the car; they weren't trying to kidnap her, they wanted her dead. When that car explodes, everything burns to ashes, including that document." The implication was clear.

Someone didn't want Sophie to get that agreement!

"James, you've been playing a clever game, but I'm not falling for it. If you want that share agreement, go get it yourself."

Odie turned to Jonah. "Show Mr. Burke out."

"Yes."

Jonah gestured politely to James. "Mr. Burke, this way."

James pressed his lips together, saying nothing. He hadn't expected Odie to catch on so quickly.

It appeared Odie wasn't just ruthless; he was sharp too. Though his intelligence seemed inconsistent.

After James left, Jonah spoke up. "Boss, if those shares are as James says, we should steer clear."

The person behind the attack in Summerfield clearly had serious clout. They didn't need that kind of trouble.

Odie picked up on Jonah's caution

and countered, "Are you saying I'm

scared

of whoever's pulling the

strings?"

"...No, I just think we don't need unnecessary headaches."

"This is Summerfield, my domain. I refuse to believe anyone can take me down here."

Odie reclined on the couch, his icy. "With Burke International's

shares in my hands, I can sta against Colby in Devonport. So... I want that share agreement

"Boss..."

"Sophie's here, right? Bring her in."

"... Yes, boss."

Outside the hotel.

Sophie had reached the floor of the presidential suite, guarded by two bodyguards. She was just figuring out how to sneak past them when Jonah emerged.

Before Sophie could duck out of sight, Jonah spoke. "Ms. Sophie, our boss would like to see you."

Sophie thought she must have misheard, but then Jonah repeated, "Ms. Sophie, should I escort you?"

Sophie had no choice but to step forward, feigning nonchalance. "What does your boss want with me?"
