Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Was there any surveillance?"

"No, it was a blind spot. It wasn't caught on camera."

"Was that girl a fan of yours?"

"My schedule is always kept confidential. Not many people know where I'll be, and I've never seen her before."

Listening to what Reece had said, Sophie knew someone had intentionally set Reece up.

But when Reece got into trouble, James was still on the island. It must have been James who orchestrated the whole thing beforehand, and an employee of Burke International had directed someone to frame Reece, which most likely was Colt.

Sophie was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have they kept you here all this time?"

"Yes, I think someone must have tipped them off." Reece frowned and said, "But I can't figure out who. Devonport shouldn't have anyone who would oppose S Corporation."

"It's James."

When Sophie mentioned James, Reece was momentarily stunned.

Sophie calmly said, "At least it's related to Burke International."

Reece asked, "Is your trouble on the island related to James, too?"

"Not exactly."

Sophie gently shook her head, then turned to Reece and said, "You've been through a lot these past few days. Don't worry. I'll get you out of here tonight, no matter what. Tricia will explain everything that's happened with the corporation lately."

"I'm glad that you're okay."

Sophie couldn't help but smile at the sight of Reece's relieved expression.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Reece was someone who liked to keep himself heat and tidy, but after being held here for so many days, his white shirt was slightly dirty, his hair was a mess, and he had grown a beard. If he had walked out like this, who would have believed that he was a globally famous movie star?

Time ticked by, and outside the interrogation room, an officer knocked on the door and said, "Ms. Sophie, the person has been brought to the next room for questioning. You can go over now."

"Got it."

Sophie stood up, gave Reece a reassuring look, and then proceeded to the adjacent interrogation room.

Inside, she saw a woman in her twenties with plain looks. Her long hair was tied up, and she was wearing just a nightgown with a jacket thrown over it.

The officer closed the door of the interrogation room.

The woman looked Sophie up and down and said, "I was wondering who wanted to see me at this late hour. Turns out it's Ms. Sophie. What do you want with me in the middle of the night?" "I haven't introduced myself yet. How do you know I'm Sophie? We've never met, have we?"

Sophie's words made a flash of

panic cross the woman's face, but

she quickly said, "Ms. Sophie and Mr. Burke's

appearance on the

reality show is well-known. It's

normal for me to know, given you're public figures."

While there seemed to be nothing wrong with what the woman said, Sophie didn't miss the fleeting glance of the woman's eyes. She was lying.

Sophie purposefully said, "Our participation in the reality show didn't have any leaked photos. It's surprising you actually recognize me." The woman dared not look at Sophie.

Sophie asked, "Do you usually watch live streams?"

"I don't watch those!"

"Oh." Sophie rested her chin on her hand and said, "That's odd. I don't usually post my own photos on social media either. I've appeared in financial news a few times, though. How exactly did you recognize.me as the daughter of the Russell family? Could it be you follow financial news?"

"So what if I do! What's it to you? If you're going to ask, ask now. I need to go back to sleep if you're not asking me anything!"
