Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 379

"Ricardo, instead of managing your business empire in Bloomsbury, you come all the way to Devonport to trouble us. What exactly do you want?" Jenna was well aware of Bloomsbury's Ricardo, but her own reputation in Bloomsbury was also significant.

Ricardo responded with a calm demeanor, "I haven't troubled you, Ms. Jenna. I was merely teaching Sophie a lesson, and I believe I did just that."

With Russell Enterprises in Devonport now bankrupt, it was common for people in their social circle to demean members of the Russell family. Jenna's face soured as she said, "Are you openly declaring war against us?"

"Indeed, what about it?" Ricardo's stance was firm.

Jenna scoffed, "I think you've been a tyrant in Bloomsbury for too many years, Mr. Cloude. You do not realize that Devonport has its own rules. Even if Russel Enterprises is bankrupt, Colby and I are around to protect her! The entire Tredgold family will stand behind her. Mr. Cloude, you may have helped Nichole harm Sophie today, but tomorrow, you might find it difficult to leave Devonport's gates."

"Are you threatening Ricardo?" With Ricardo backing her, Nichole spoke without any reservations, "Jenna, what does Sophie have to do with you? Why do you protect her so fiercely? She's dragging her feet on divorcing James while stringing along your cousin. You should despise her!"

"Shut your foul mouth!"

Jenna's temper flared uncontrollably. Sophie, fearing Jenna would make enemies with the Cloude family, quickly interjected, "Ms. Nichole, please don't get angry. It's not good for the baby."

This comment shifted everyone's attention to Nichole's stomach. The news of Nichole carrying James' child was known nationwide.

Nichole clung tighter to Ricardo's arm. "Sophie, stop trying to cause a rift. I've already informed Mr. Cloude about the pregnancy, and he said that he would treat my child as his own!"

"Oh, just a while ago, you were head over heels in love with James, treating the position of Mrs. Burke as the most important thing. Have you forgotten your old love now that you have a new love?" Jenna mocked Ricardo, "Mr. Cloude, you're quite the savior for taking over just like that. I wonder what you see in Nichole because she is nothing but a liar. Mr. Cloude, your taste is indeed unique."

Ricardo's brow furrowed slightly, and then, one of his men immediately slapped Sophie across the face, causing her right cheek to swell up significantly. Jenna exclaimed, "Ricardo!"

"I said, even if I cannot touch you, Ms. Jenna, I can still deal with Sophie."

"You!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Sophie's mouth, and Nichole found the sight incredibly satisfying.

In the past, Sophie had always looked down on her, but now she could finally step over Sophie!

"Rowena, let's go."

Ricardo took Nichole's hand, and the two of them left the restaurant, followed by the Cloude family's bodyguards.

Once they were gone, Jenna immediately checked Sophie's injuries. "Let me see, how bad is it?"

Sophie shook her head. "It's just a bit of ringing in my ears, but it'll be fine soon."

"That damned Nichole! How did she end up with Ricardo? What does Ricardo see in someone like Nichole? His taste couldn't be worse!"

"Perhaps Ricardo is protecting Nichole because it has something to do with the Freeman family."

Jenna was puzzled, "The Freeman family? What does this have to do with the Freeman family?"

In the hospital, Jenna had Sophie's facial injuries treated. Adler followed Jenna's instructions and uncovered the relationship between Devonport's Freeman family and Bloomsbury's Cloude family.
