Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie spoke up, "Mr. Adler, you seem a bit out of place here."

"That's because I'm calm and collected! I'm a modern, progressive young man!"

Adler led the three of them through the grand entrance of the Tredgold family home.

Inside, a maid was busy tidying up. The place looked like a sprawling museum, filled with priceless artifacts. Sophie glanced around, quickly estimating that these items were all genuine, seven-figure treasures. From porcelain to ornaments, everything was over a century old-luxuries that, back in the day, only royalty and nobility could afford.

Yet, here Adler's father had all these treasures out in the open.

He must really not be worried about thieves.

As Sophie marveled at the collection, she noticed one wall adorned with an array of rare and exotic stones. High-quality jade and gems were among them, along with many she had never seen before.

Just as she was about to take a closer look, Adler's father emerged from the collection room.

"You..."

Wesley frowned. Even though he was over fifty, Adler's father was tall and well-built, his features still retaining a hint of the handsomeness of his youth.

"Father, this is Sophie, this is Colby, and this is Jenna. You've met them before."

Adler introduced the group.

Wesley didn't even glance at Adler but said coldly, "I know, the famous Mr. Colby, and Ms. Sophie, Ms. Jenna from S Corporation."

With that, he created a palpable distance between them.

After he spoke, he moved aside to place an item back into a display case, and asked, "Why are you back?"

Sophie had expected Adler's father to be less than welcoming, but this level of coldness was a bit surprising.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Adler cleared his throat and looked at Sophie, hoping she would break the ice.

Instead of making small talk, Sophie said, "We came to ask about the secret of Devonport."

Hearing Sophie's words, Adler gasped.

Wesley, who had been handling a collectible, paused.

Seeing his father silent, Adler seized the moment to grab Jenna, saying, "Hey, didn't you want to see my

Content Photos? I'll go get them!"

"Sure, let's go get them!"

With that, Jenna hurriedly followed Adler upstairs.

Halfway up, Adler whispered, "The ancestral hall isn't upstairs!"

Jenna replied in a low voice, "How would I know if you don't tell me!" "Let's just go up first!"

"Hurry up!"

Adler and Jenna rushed upstairs, bickering along the way.

Wesley calmly said, "What secret of Devonport? That's just outsider talk. Others might believe it, but as children of the Russell and Costello families, how can you fall for such baseless rumors?"

Sophie smiled and said, "Mr. Wesley, the Russell, Costello, and Aldridge families all faced their own troubles Now, Lennon has been poisoned The Tredgold family has always kept to themselves over the years. To say there's no trickery involved would be a stretch."
