Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Afternoon at the Reeves Residence

Sophie sat across from Elodie, sipping on iced tea. "The tea's been ready for a while. Looks like you've been waiting for me," she remarked, a playful smile on her lips.

Elodie cut straight to the point, her tone icy. "Enough with the small talk. You've set all this up, haven't you? Burke International has pulled out of their deal with us, and Reeves Entertainment was sold off at a bargain price. Now, everyone knows the Reeves and Burke are no longer linked. As CEO, I'm in hot water, and the family's bound to force me out."

Elodie's eyes narrowed as she studied Sophie. "You're sharper than I thought, Ms. Sophie. I never expected the pampered heiress of the Russell family to orchestrate such a masterful plan."

"Ms. Elodie, you give me too much credit," Sophie replied with a faint smile. "Your reclusive nature and strained family ties made it easy to predict your moves. It's human nature to protect one's interests. You caused them financial losses; naturally, they want you to repay. That's why you turned to me, and now we're here, calmly discussing our next moves."

Elodie sighed. "Fine, let's skip the pleasantries. What do you want?"

"I'm here to make you an offer," Sophie said, placing a check on the table. "I'm willing to buy that 10% share of Burke International you hold, for the exact amount of your losses."

Elodie raised an eyebrow. "You're making a bold move, Ms. Sophie. Do you even know how much we've lost?"

"It doesn't matter. I can cover it," Sophie said, her confidence unwavering: "You need money, and that 10% share is all you've got of value can get the funds to you quickly, without any haggling. It's a win win."

Elodie's eyes flickered with interest "Alright, I've lost two billion. If you can transfer that to my account within three days, the shares are

yours."

"Consider it done," Sophie agreed without hesitation.

Elodie frowned, suspicious. "I remember you saying you weren't interested in Burke International's shares. Why the change of heart?"

"That's my business," Sophie replied smoothly. "Right now, I'm helping you out, hoping we can let bygones be bygones and maybe even become friends."

Elodie chuckled darkly. "Friends?

Repaying evil with good? Ms.

Sophie, I'm not naive. This was your

trap. You orchestrated the Burke

family's withdrawal from our partnership. Even though I don't know how you pulled it off, I'm certain you're the mastermind behind it all."
