Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Sophie, Nichole was so out of line just now. Why didn't you let me teach her a lesson?"

Given Colby's standing in Devonport, he wouldn't be outshone even if he went head-to-head with James!

Moreover, it was clear to anyone with eyes that Nichole was intentionally trying to overshadow Sophie!

Sophie said, "My dear Jenna, did you see what fabric she chose?"

"Silk satin."

"Then think about it: what design did she pick?"This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

"What else could it be? Of course, she chose your mermaid design..." Before she could finish, Jenna suddenly paused.

Nichole had chosen silk satin but also picked the same mermaid dress design as Sophie!

Jenna mused, "I heard Nichole say she's going to add diamonds, oh my... Can you even imagine what that dress is going to look like?"

She simply couldn't picture how these elements combined could result in anything but a disaster.

"Do me a favor and talk to the boutique, have the designer create it just as Nichole described. I'll cover the design fee," Sophie said.

As soon as Sophie spoke, Jenna gave her a thumbs-up. "Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

The engagement party was in three days. From design to rush order, there was very little time. If Nichole didn't have a backup engagement dress, she'd likely make a huge embarrassment of herself at the party.

Sophie knew well that Nichole had no background in fashion design. While some haute couture dresses indeed looked stunning, others were quite the opposite. And Nichole, not exactly model material, couldn't pull off certain haute couture dresses.

In the end, money was spent, but she would be utterly mortified.

Sophie wondered what Bea, always so critical and prideful, would think of her new granddaughter-in-law after the engagement party.

At that moment, Sophie's phone lit up with a message from Booker.

Upon reading the message, Sophie's eyebrows involuntarily twitched, and Jenna asked, "What happened?"

"Ricardo hasn't left Devonport. It seems his greed knows no bounds."

It was baffling. His family was barely keeping afloat, yet he still had his sights set on Devonport's assets. Sophie couldn't decide whether Ricardo's ambition was too great or if he simply lacked sense.

But this was good in a way. In a month, when Ricardo would have to pay the first installment of interest, she would witness his desperation firsthand.

Sophie left the boutique and returned to her apartment. The engagement party was in three days, and the event had garnered

increasing attention online. Thanet

to a recent live stream on the island, Sophie and James had won gver many fans as a couple. But merely a few days after the stream ended, Sophie and Colby announced their wedding date, leaving many fans struggling to accept it.

The comment section was filled with lament.

[Didn't the divorce agreement still have six months to go? I absolutely do not approve of these marriages!]

[I really ship Sophie and James! Please, can't you two just remarry?]

[The live stream just ended, and now one's getting married and the other's getting hitched. This hurts more than if you killed me!]

...

Of course, amid these were the joyous celebrations of fans shipping Sophie with Colby, leading to online skirmishes between both camps. Sophie couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head.

She was certain that the top comment, [Sophie and Colby are a match made in heaven, dare to challenge?], had to be Colby using an alt account.
