Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

"Because of Reece's call."

When Sophie mentioned this, the three people in front of her paused for a moment. They all knew Reece was Sophie's right-hand man; he had been with her since the early days of S Corporation. You could say he was the one person Sophie trusted the most in the whole company. Sophie continued, "I was in my room, trying to figure out what The Silent Shadows and Kiran were up to. Even if Colby was hiding something from me, it didn't mean our misunderstandings would keep growing. What if we cleared things up and made up? At that moment, someone needed to step in, pull me away from Colby, and stir things up. Everyone was reaching out, wanting to know what was going on, but only Reece called once. As I answered, I was thinking, 'Please, Reece, don't ask me to go out,' but he did." "Is that why?" "Yes."

Sophie explained, "I was suspicious of Reece then, and I couldn't be sure the White family didn't have bugs, so I had to play along and leave their place first. In Reece's car, I wasn't fully trusting him. Last night, I actually had a gun with me." Odie's face darkened as he said, "Sophie, are you out of your mind? Why didn't you tell us about something so important? And bringing a gun? What if Reece was a traitor?" "But he wasn't."

Sophie shook her head, and silence

fell again. She said, "I got in the car but didn't drive off right away. Instead, he pulled out a blackboard eraser he had and told me it must be the enemy's plot. We didn't dare speak or use any devices, worried there were bugs in the car or ours were being watched."

Harold asked, "Then what did he say?"

"Reece won Best Actor last year. It's tough to find another superstar like him in the industry. He's a leading figure, no doubt. A while back, I sent him abroad to expand his career. By then, he was already a regular at For Peace nightclub. It was just for socializing, but when I sent Reece the symbol of The Silent Shadows, he noticed it looked a bit like For Peace's symbol."

Turning to Odie, Sophie asked, "You were overseas with Colby before. Ever heard of this nightclub?"

Odie frowned, "The hottest nightclub overseas? Who hasn't? But I never paid much attention to their logo. Who really notices a nightclub's logo?" "Exactly."

Sophie said, "The nightclub doesn't have its logo outside. Instead, they stamp it on your hand as you go in and it only shows under ultraviolet

light, so most people miss it. So ne

Reece and I played along, pretending I was heartbroken and needed a drink as an excuse to go there. Plus, we set up a table with top male models."

Odie asked, "What does having male models have to do with investigating the nightclub?"

Sophie explained, "Male models and hostesses are basically the club's PR team. The Silent Shadows set up this hotspot in a bustling area overseas to attract wealthy businessmen or industry bigwigs. To get close to these targets, you need good PR."
