Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 380

The Freeman family was originally among the prominent households in Bloomsbury, but later, the entire family relocated to Devonport. They always kept a low profile, worked in the banking industry, and were known as successful merchants through generations.

On the other hand, the Cloude family was considered a rival in Bloomsbury. Just like James, their business interests sprawled across numerous sectors.

The Cloudes and the Freemans had a close relationship. In those years, Mrs. Cloude gave birth to a daughter named Rowena. However, due to her husband Briggs' infidelity, Mrs. Cloude left in a huff with her child, disappearing without a trace.

Briggs always wanted to find his daughter. After all, the Cloude and Freeman families had arranged a match between their children. But because of these events, the plan was put on hold.

Since Ricardo took over the Cloude family's reins, he had used every means to search for Rowena and was determined to find his betrothed.

Upon hearing these pieces of news, Jenna couldn't help but sigh at the drama of the wealthy.

Then, she looked up in confusion at Sophie and asked, "Wait, Sophie, how do you know Ricardo is doing this for the Freeman family?"

Sophie was at a loss for words. She couldn't possibly reveal that in a past life, Ricardo's fiancée's death led to a major scandal.

Sophie had no choice but to fabricate a story. "I happened to see this story somewhere before. I thought the leader of the Cloude family was truly a romantic."

"There are not that many romantics. In families like ours, everything is about interests and entanglements." Jenna said, "Ricardo and Rowena have never even met. I don't believe for a second that Ricardo would go to such lengths for a girl he's never seen. This is all just both families using the media to their advantage."

Sophie remained silent.

She was no longer the naive girl who used to follow James around blindly. The interests of these two families were clearly intertwined, and it was obvious that Ricardo's protection of Nichole was solely for the Freeman family.

"By the way, don't tell Adler about my injury."

"I know I haven't said anything, but I don't think we can keep it a secret for long."

Sophie's injury was no small matter. Now that Colby had returned to Devonport, it was unlikely he wouldn't see her for a week, given how much he cared for Sophie.

Besides, Sophie still had to go to the office, so being discovered was only a matter of time.

"I'll go get you a glass of water. Stay here, and I'll take you home in a bit."

Sophie nodded.

Not long after Jenna left, a wave of footsteps approached from the distance. Bea arrived with the Burke family's bodyguards in tow, making a grand entrance. "Look at you, Sophie, hiding out here!"

Bea seemed to have aged significantly in just a few days. She marched up, grabbed Sophie's arm, and hissed, "Where have you taken my great-grandchild? Did you get rid of my great-grandchild? You wicked bitch, how could you do such a thing?!"

Sophie's ears were already injured, and the ringing was severe. Bea's shrill voice was extremely unpleasant to her.

Sophie frowned, looking somewhat dazed. A nurse rushed in upon seeing this. "Madam, what are you doing? The patient needs to rest in peace! Please leave!"

The nurse hadn't even approached when Bea's men stopped her.

The nurse looked displeased, but Bea played the victim. "Everyone, look! This woman has kidnapped my pregnant daughter-in-law! And I don't even know what happened to my great-grandchild!"
