Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

---

Colby lifted his hand slightly. "Take him away."

"Yes, sir."

The Aldridge family's bodyguards stepped forward. The few men the Pollard family had brought were no match for the Aldridge security team. The lead bodyguard, in particular, didn't dare to make a move in front of Colby; he knew this was the biggest courtesy Sophie was extending to the Pollard family. Otherwise, a clash would have been bad news for everyone involved.

After a moment of silence, the lead bodyguard addressed Colby, "We'll consult with our master. If he insists on his stance, he might come to Devonport himself to retrieve him."

Colby, without even looking up, nodded. "As you wish."

He had done as his wife requested; the rest was not his concern.

Colby led his team back into Burke Estate.

Angelo and Sandy, relieved from their ordeal, burst into tears. "Oh my god, I thought we were going back to that boring life of shopping after eating every day! Thank goodness we didn't! I would've died of boredom!"

"And I thought I had to go back to being that dreadful CEO! It scared me to death!"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jenna and Adler: "......"

At that moment, Sophie's attention wasn't on Angelo and Sandy. She focused on Ricardo. "Mr. Ricardo, it's been a while. Surely you haven't forgotten us?" Ricardo's brows furrowed slightly.

Sophie continued, "We're all old friends here; no need to be so formal. Why don't you take a seat?"

Sit?

Ricardo scoffed.

He was tied up securely; where could he sit?

Sophie added, "If you don't want to sit, then standing is fine too. Not much of a difference, really."

Currently dressed in casual clothes, Ricardo looked less sinister than when he was in a suit.

"You know why we've kept you here. Do you want to have a calm and reasonable conversation, or shall we... choose another approach?"

As Sophie spoke, Colby stood beside her.

And the "other approach" Sophie mentioned was obvious to anyone.

Ricardo said, "You want to know what the Devonport treasure is, where it's hidden, and whether it's real, right?"

"Seems you're well aware."

"If I refuse to tell, what do you plan to do to me?"

"Hell's eighteen tortures, every conceivable human torment will be tested on you. I suppose even the toughest man couldn't withstand that, right?"

Sophie smiled slightly. "Of course, we're all civilized people here; I'd rather not resort to such extreme measures to make you talk. After all, you're no longer the head of the Cloude family; you can't access the Devonport treasure anymore.t might be better for you to tell u maybe we can help you find it. In your lifetime, you could see for yourself what this so-called Devonport treasure really is."

Ricardo remained silent.

us, and

Adler then said, "Mr. Ricardo, don't push your luck. Sophie has been more than polite to you. If it were me, I would've already..."

Sophie raised a hand to stop Adler from continuing.

Ricardo was smart; he knew how to weigh his options at such a time.

Indeed, after a moment of silence, Ricardo's gaze fell on Angelo. Then he said "If you want to know what the Devonport treasure is, it would

be better to ask him directly.
