Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 15

Moments later, Nichole walked out of the restroom with a pained expression, now dressed in a pristine white evening gown.

James asked, "What happened?"

"I was changing in the restroom, and when I came out, I think I saw Sophie."

"Sophie?"

Nichole nodded.

"I saw Sophie with that man from last time, and they were... close." After saying this, Nichole watched James' reaction closely, quickly adding, "But maybe I was mistaken. How could Sophie possibly know someone like Colby? I heard that Colby is a real outlaw."

"Sophie..."

James' tone turned chilly.

He had noticed before that Colby seemed interested in Sophie. Could she not see the danger? She was even getting close to a dangerous man like Colby.

James felt an inexplicable tightness in his chest.

At that moment, Sophie emerged from the restroom, noticing James' displeasure and the questioning look in his eyes.

"What were you doing just now?" James' voice was low.

"Me? I just went to the restroom." Sophie was quite puzzled.

Nichole stepped forward, feigning affection as she grasped Sophie's hand. "Sophie, I saw it all. That Colby is no good. You mustn't be deceived by him."

Sophie instinctively withdrew her hand.

Nichole's grip hung in mid-air, her voice shaky. "Sophie, I didn’t mean to tattle to Mr. Burke. It’s just that Colby really isn’t a good man."

"I know what kind of person Colby is. I don’t need others to judge him." Sophie's tone was frosty.
