Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 409

Thinking of this, Tricia immediately took out her phone and sent Sophie a text message.

At that moment, Sophie's phone rang. As soon as Sophie unlocked her phone, she caught a glimpse of a message: [Ricardo is outside.]

Sophie slightly frowned, planning to tidy up the documents on the table, but then there was a knock on the door from outside the hospital room. 'Knock, knock'

Reece's attention was drawn to the door, and upon seeing Ricardo, he quickly realized that Sophie's identity must not be exposed. He said in a calm voice, "I'm sorry, it's not a good time for visitors. Please, Mr. Ricardo, could you wait outside for a moment?"

Reece declined directly, and Ricardo didn't say anything but sat down on a chair in the hospital corridor.

When Ricardo didn't try to look inside, Sophie immediately secured all the documents, then exchanged a glance with Reece.

He nodded at Sophie, who then opened the hospital room door, saying to Ricardo, "Mr. Ricardo, what brings you here so late?"

"I heard Reece was injured, so I came to see him."

Ricardo stood up, towering over Sophie by more than a head. Sophie stepped back to maintain some distance and said, "Reece was in a car accident. Did you really not know, Mr. Ricardo?"

It was indeed Nichole's doing. Since Nichole dared to act, it meant she had someone covering for her from behind.

Ricardo paused for a moment before saying, "I don't want to hide it from you, Ms. Sophie. Reece's accident is partly Rowena's fault. I only found out about it recently. She did it without my consent. If I had known..."

"If you had known, perhaps you would have made sure the act was flawless to cover for Nichole's actions, right?"

Ricardo had built a reputation as a devoted lover in the eyes of others. He unconditionally did everything with Nichole's best interest in mind.

Hearing Sophie say this, Ricardo said with a deep voice, "I would have stopped her. Even if one has personal grievances, one shouldn't break the law."

"I might believe that coming from someone else, but I don't believe a single word from your mouth," Sophie said coldly. "Nichole has hurt Reece, and I will make sure she pays for it. If you truly believe Nichole did wrong, then please stay out of it in the future."

"..."

Before Ricardo could say more, Reece's voice came from inside the room, "How much longer do you plan to talk out there?"

Hearing Reece's voice, Sophie then opened the door and walked inside.

Ricardo followed closely behind. His gaze inadvertently fell on the spot where Sophie had been sitting, spotting the thick folder on the table, now closed, with its contents hidden.

At that moment, Sophie stood in a way that blocked Ricardo's view, and he withdrew his gaze.

Ricardo sincerely said, "Mr. Reece, the accident was caused by someone under me. Please have your finance department prepare an itemized bill for the medical expenses and your losses, and I will cover everything."

Reece chuckled and asked, "I don't recall ever crossing you, Mr. Ricardo. Have I?"

Ricardo instinctively glanced at Sophie beside him. The message was clear.

Nichole's move against Reece was a warning to Sophie. After all, who in Devonport didn't know Reece was a golden goose for Russell Entertainment?

If anything truly happened to Reece, the revenue would significantly diminish.

"Reece, since Mr. Ricardo is willing to pay, let's just take what we are owed," Sophie said with a smile. "Mr. Ricardo, you're doing this to keep Nichole out of prison, aren't you?"
