Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Nichole was well aware Sophie hadn't gone far. As Sophie thought about this, she couldn't help but chuckle. She thought Nichole might have become something impressive by now, but it turned out she was still the same as before.

The taller the tree, the more wind it catches. The more ostentatious one was, believing they'd reached the top, the harder they fell in the end.

In the parking garage, Colby had just gotten out of his car, popping a lollipop into his mouth, when suddenly a hand covered his eyes from behind. Colby let out a soft laugh. "Stop it." "How did you know it was me?"

Sophie jumped in front of Colby, who then took her hand in his, saying, "Even with my eyes closed, I'd know it was you behind me."

"I heard you never let your guard down with enemies."

"That's true."

"Well, then, I have some rather bad news for you."

Sophie relayed everything Tricia had told her in detail to Colby.

Colby's frown deepened, and Sophie reached out to smooth his brow, saying, "What's the matter? I didn't even make such a face, and you're already frowning."

Colby's voice was deep, filled with a hint of indulgence. "My bad. I thought Tricia and Reece could handle it."

"Now that it's happened, all we can do is try our best to make amends." Sophie took Colby's hand, adding, "Besides, this was my issue to begin wit. You've done nothing wrong." "Did Nichole give you trouble?"

"It was alright. It was not really trouble. You know me. I never let myself be at a loss for words."

"It seems my reputation isn't imposing enough. Nowadays, anyone dares to mess with my woman."

Sophie detected a hint of battle in his words and asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'm going to defend my wife's honor."

"Aren't you the one who never bothers with women?"

Colby's voice was low and affectionate. "When it comes to my wife, I make an exception." Sophie said cheerily, "Alright, since you're being so good, I'll show you something." Saying so, Sophie laid a divorce agreement and the divorce certificate in front of Colby.

The clear official seal and the words Divorce Certificate on them caught Colby's attention, and he was fixated on them for a long while, unable to snap out of it.

"What? Not happy?"

Colby smiled, "Not exactly."

"Then why did you freeze up just now?"

"I was wondering if the city hall is open on weekends."

Sophie hadn't even reacted when Colby had already pulled her into the car.

"Colby! Don't joke with me!"

"I'm not joking."

Colby floored the gas pedal, and in an instant, they arrived at the city hall.

Sophie stared at the city hall sign and suddenly said, "Colby, have you considered one thing?"

"I've considered everything, Sophie. I just want you to marry me."

"No... That's not what I mean."

Sensing Sophie's hesitation, Colby's eyes dimmed slightly. After a

moment of hesitation, he mustered

the courage to ask, "You... don't want to?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just... I didn't bring my ID."
