Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 385

Adler caught the look in Jenna's eyes and quickly changed his tune. "Ms. Sophie, don't get me wrong. Colby is loaded. It's just that, well, he hasn't quite sorted his finances yet."

Adler was about to continue, but Jenna cut him off with a glare. "What do you mean 'hasn't sorted his finances?' Can't you speak clearly?"

Adler immediately closed his mouth.

Jenna sat next to Sophie, saying, "This is just something among the men. You don't need to worry about it. Once Colby truly wins your heart, I bet he'd gladly give the entire Costello estate as a gift for your wedding!"

Sophie blushed, "What would I do with such a huge estate!"

"Oh, come on, it's just a metaphor."

Jenna wrapped an arm around Sophie. "Anyway, you're the only sister-in-law I recognize! No other woman can come close!"

Sophie was silent. What she desired was never wealth or riches.

After experiencing so much manipulation and strife in her past life, all she wanted in this life was to find her soulmate and live a peaceful life together.

No betrayals, no plots, no deception, just an ordinary couple.

As the night deepened, the club's lights intertwined in a dance.

In the private room, Ricardo, with his striking features, wore a black shirt slightly open at the chest, gently swirling a glass of whisky in his hand.

Ricardo raised his eyebrow and chuckled. He spoke in a deep voice, "Mr. Burke, Colby's men were just here during the day, and now you've come. Ms. Sophie must be quite extraordinary to have both of you gentlemen concerned."

James sat opposite Ricardo, his voice cold. "I don't care what Colby's men told you, but Sophie is my wife. If you cause her trouble in Devonport, you'll pay the price."

Suddenly, the door was kicked open, and a group of bodyguards in black burst in, each armed with stun batons.

Ricardo's gaze turned icy.

James put his glass down on the table, his expression indifferent. "It's not just Colby who has influence."

"Mr. Burke, always so secretive." Ricardo watched as the men entered, his voice grave, "I merely came to Devonport to find my fiancée. But since you already have a wife but caused Rowena such distress, I must settle this account with you."

"If you want to settle accounts, Mr. Ricardo, I'm always ready. But when it comes to Sophie, that's the first account I'll settle with you."

Immediately, James' men advanced, and the next moment, Ricardo's men also charged into the room.

Ricardo remained composed, "Mr. Burke, surely you didn't think I'd come alone."

James replied coldly, "However many you brought today, that's how many will fall."

The standoff escalated into a brawl at James' command. The room was filled with the sounds of fighting and groans of pain.

Ricardo's gaze grew colder. "Mr. Burke, you really don't take me seriously."

James sneered, "You're wrong. I never took the Cloude family seriously in the first place."

Ricardo's eyes narrowed dangerously.

James turned to his side and said to Colt, "Bring up the man who hit my wife today."

"Yes, Mr. Burke."

Colt shouted towards the door, "Bring him in!"

Ricardo frowned, only to see a man being dragged in by two bodyguards, his face swollen and bruised. He was tied up and kneeling on the floor. James spoke coldly, "Chop the hand he used off."

"Mmph! Mmph!"
