Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

"What? You didn't know? You didn't know and still went ahead with all those heartless actions?"

"What heartless actions have I done?" Ricardo shot back coldly. "Compared to the heartless deeds you folks have done, especially the one upstairs, I'm nothing." Everyone's gaze shifted upstairs.

Odie stood at the top of the staircase, his brows furrowing as he noticed everyone staring at him.

Odie's icy glare quickly shifted to Ricardo.

Adler cleared his throat and said, "Well... to err is human, to forgive divine. Odie's changed his ways and is one of us now!"

"Who says I've changed my ways?"

Odie walked down the stairs, slouched on the sofa, and said, "I'm just here licking my wounds. I never said I was one of you."

"Oh, come on, it's practically the same thing. To outsiders, you're one of us now. Besides, with the Minton family gone, you've got nowhere else to live if you move out!"

At that moment, Jonah also came downstairs.

Jonah had been recuperating at the Burke Estate these past few days and usually didn't show himself. He handed a glass of water to Odie and said, "Boss, should we take action to reclaim the company?" Hearing Jonah say this, Adler nearly choked on his tea.

"Brother, what do you think he took? A child's toy? You think we can just take it back? If you're so capable, go reclaim it yourself!"

"Are you talking too much?"

Odie's brow furrowed slightly, his gaze landing on Colby. "Colby, control your guy."

"He's not my guy; he's my sister's."

Colby, unruffled, showed no intention of intervening.

"Enough with you! You talk the most in this whole house!" Jenna poured Adler another cup of tea, saying, "Drink your tea!"

Adler nearly had the cup of tea pushed onto him by Jenna.

Sophie's train of thought was completely disrupted by this interlude. She looked at Ricardo and said, "You just said you didn't know where the Devonport treasure is hidden?"

"That's right, I don't know." Ricardo confirmed confidently. "And I'm certain the person behind this doesn't know either."

"Why are you so sure?"

Ricardo explained, "If he knew where

the Devonport treasure was, he would've acted against Devonport by now. Why bother using others? His actions suggest he's using various forces to search for the location of the Devonport treasure, she can benefit from their

findings."

"It seems you understand everything, but you still decided to fall into this trap." Sophie said indifferently, "I must say, Mr. Ricardo, that's not very bright of you."

"In the face of such treasures, even

knowing I'm being used, I'm willing

to go along.. Besides... it's a rare chance to change one's fate. If one can obtain those treasures, they could become the world's number one billionaire. Who would pass up such an opportunity?"

"The person behind this is exploiting human greed," Sophie said. "You're paving the way for them, but they might not share the treasure with you." "Nothing is absolute. How can you be so sure I haven't kept a backup plan?"

"You haven't even seen the person, don't know who they are, what backup plan could you possibly have?" Adler, amused, joined in, "Mr. Ricardo you haven't found the treasure yet but have already invested all your assets. The person behind this didn't even lift a finger to help you. Clearly, they don't take you seriously at all."
