Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 569

"I know your family went bankrupt, and you're short on money. Actually, if you begged us, we could give you some, at least enough for you to get by." Solana thought her words would sway Sophie, but Sophie simply replied nonchalantly, "Sorry, I can't understand what you're saying."

"You..." Solana glared at Sophie, then said, "Sophie, you're forcing my hand here!"

Sophie remained silent, prompting Solana to signal her bodyguards with a glance. Several guards immediately rushed upstairs.

Sophie frowned as Solana made herself comfortable on the couch, leisurely waiting for the bodyguards to finish searching the house.

The guards carelessly threw things around, their actions more reminiscent of raiding a house than searching for a person.

Solana lounged on the couch and asked, "How's the search going?"

"Madam, we haven't spotted Mr. Burke."

Solana's brow furrowed, and she turned to Sophie. "I didn't expect you to be so cunning. Tell me, where have you hidden him?"

"Solana, I've made myself very clear. He's not here. Your people have searched already. Isn't it time for you to leave?"

If it weren't for her being off her game, she wouldn't have let Solana off so easily.

Facing Sophie's somewhat polite response, Solana said, "I could not ignore my aunt's words. Since James hasn't returned, I'll wait here until he does."

Solana told the four bodyguards, "You guys can sit wherever."

Sophie coldly said, "This is my place now. Aren't you being a bit too presumptuous?"

"Your place is James' place, isn't it? Without James, would you be able to live in such a nice estate? Would the show crew invite a down-and-out girl to participate in a reality show? You're basking in James' glory now. What can you do about me being a bit presumptuous?"

Solana truly believed James gave Sophie everything she had, so she acted without mercy.

When Sophie chuckled, Solana frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

"Didn't James tell you? This place is rented by the show crew."

"So what? It's just a small estate. James can buy it if he wants to. Besides, the show crew begged James to participate. Can't I sit here for a while?"

Sophie laughed, "This is someone else's property. The show crew has an agreement with the owner of the estate. You can't just come here and wreck the place. Everything you've broken belongs to the owner, and according to the agreement, the show crew has to compensate at market value. But since you're the ones who caused the damage, please find the show crew and compensate them. I estimate it's not much, just seven million."

"What? Seven million? Are you joking?"

Solana couldn't believe the junk they'd smashed was worth seven million!

Sophie casually said, "The owner of this estate is a renowned collector. His ancestors have quite a legacy, and he's a well-known figure in the industry. Didn't you think to check who the owner was before you came?"

Solana's face turned sour. She only knew this was an estate rented by the show crew. How could she have anticipated who the owner might be?
