Chapter 1523
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
"I'll figure out what's happening!" Kena declared, starting to head over.
Sophie quickly caught her arm, giving a slight shake of her head. "No need."
"But..." Kena hesitated, words hanging in the air. Was she really supposed to just stand by while her husband was all chummy with another woman?
Colby still hadnât glanced at Sophie; it was like they were strangers, no eye contact at all. The guests around them seemed to revel in the drama.
Yet, Sophieâs face was calm, her smile unwavering as she greeted the guests, as if Colby was invisible to her.
"Mr. Colby, thatâs Ms. Sophie, right? Sheâs stunning. Why donât you go talk to her?" Gina batted her eyelashes, all charm.
A sweet, innocent woman like Gina was a magnet for men, those wide-eyed looks making anyone want to protect her.
Colby replied, almost dismissively, "She is beautiful."
Noticing Colbyâs reluctance to chat further, Gina grabbed his arm, "Did you two have a spat? I know a trick to patch things up quickly. Want to try it, Mr. Colby?"
Gina didnât seem to mean any harm. Before Colby could react, she was already pulling him toward the dance floor outside.
The fact that the Spellman familyâs goddaughter was this cozy with Colby set tongues wagging. Everyone knew Colby wasnât one for mingling with women, except Sophie. Who would've thought thereâd be an exception?
Colby frowned slightly at Gina holding his arm. But before he knew it, they were in the middle of the dance floor.
In a bold red dress, Gina was all energy, her eyes sparkling. She flashed a coy smile at everyone, "So happy to see y'all here! I, Gina, invite Mr. Colby for a dance. Hope you enjoy!"
Her bold move grabbed everyoneâs attention, all eyes glued on them. With Sophie right there, it was a scene right out of a soap opera.
Some guests watched with glee, some with discreet curiosity, while others were already drafting tomorrow's gossip.
"Mr. Colby, women get so jealous! Just dance with me, and Ms. Sophie will be jealous for sure. Then you two can clear things up!"
Ginaâs sincerity was palpable, and any other guy might have fallen for such an understanding girl. But Colbyâs expression cooled, "Sorry, Iâm not trying to make her jealous."

ï¤Chapter 782 "Ms. Sophie!" Kenaâs voice broke through, grabbing Colbyâs attention.
He turned to see Sophieâs retreating figure. Almost instinctively, he ran after her.
As Colby dashed out of the hall, Gina hiked up her dress and followed.
By the fountain outside, Colby caught up with Sophie. "Sophie, wait, listen to me..."
"It's not what it looks like, Ms. Sophie!"
