Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

In an instant, entrepreneurs, real estate magnates, and celebrities from all walks of life gathered in Devonport, not daring to slight the Costello and the Burke families. The downtown streets were at one point clogged with luxury cars, making it impossible for traffic to flow.

The Regent Hotel and the Four Seasons Hotel were originally competitors. Tonight, even their security staff were caught up in a rivalry.

The security and greeters of both establishments donned expensive uniforms, and even their underground parking lots were temporarily expanded to accommodate the influx. Bystanders whispered from a distance.

"Both families are hosting engagement parties. Picking a side is tricky."

"I'd say the Burke family has more prestige. After all, they're the leading family in Devonport. Who wouldn't show them respect?"

"I heard Lennon spent over a hundred million on this engagement party!"

"What? A hundred million?!"

Everyone was shocked, not expecting the Costello family to go to such lengths!

This was just for an engagement party. If the Costello couple were to marry, would they host a wedding that cost even more?

At this moment, two high-society heiresses stepped out of a luxury car, one after the other.

Looking at the grand entrance of the Regent Hotel, one of the women, dressed in a black haute couture dress, frowned and disdainfully said, "This is Sophie's second marriage, and the Costello family is really going all out for her!"

"Well, there's nothing to be done if Colby loves her..."

Vanessa gazed at the engagement photo of Colby and Sophie at the entrance, her heart souring.

She had traveled thousands of miles to Devonport for Colby, but aside from sending her money every month, Colby never spoke to her, much less met her in private.

Thinking this, Vanessa felt resentful.

She was the first to meet Colby, the first to fall in love with him. Yet, in the end, it was another woman who married Colby.

"Hmph, I heard that Sophie is a second-time bride, but her family business has also gone bankrupt. Tsk, tsk, today is their engagement party. Relatives of the Russell family can't possibly show up, right?"

Vanessa's friend increased her volume as she spoke, drawing the attention of everyone nearby. Vanessa realized her friend was openly mocking Sophie, and her face turned pale. "Sandy! Stop it!"

Sandy, undeterred, continued, "How

can the bride not have any family member support her? She'll be bullied in the future, unable to hold her head up. The Costello family threw such a lavish engagement party for Sophie. What if Ms. Sophie doesn't even have any wedding

gifts?"

It was a hundred-million-dollar engagement party! If the bride couldn't even bring any wedding gifts, she would be a laughingstock to outsiders.

What mattered most in their circle was reputation and status. If the bride was of no significant standing, she would merely bring shame to her husband's family. But who didn't know the Russell family had gone bankrupt?

Recently, Sophie had also severed ties with S Corporation, becoming a down-and-out heiress.

Fortunately, Sophie didn't bring debts into the marriage. How could she possibly afford any wedding gifts?Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I even heard the former chairman of

the Russell family went to jail. This bride doesn't seem to have much to offerI might as well head to the Burke family's event." S

Sandy deliberately stirred the pot, making those around her hesitant.

Everyone present was a notable figure in Devonport, most having received invitations from both families. Sandy's words made them waver.

Just then, the sound of car engines approached, one car charging unhesitatingly towards Sandy's vehicle.

"Ah-!"
