Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

"Alright."

Sophie didn't catch on to anything unusual.

It wasn't until Colby saw Sophie safely to her room that he returned, looking serious.

"Adler, you need to keep an eye on your girlfriend," Colby said with a stern look.

Jenna, hands on her hips, shot back, "Colby! I'm your sister!"

"If you're my sister, you should be looking out for your sister-in-law, not letting her stress out."

Jenna's confidence melted away at Colby's words. "I was just a bit anxious, okay?"

Adler, trying to sound serious, chimed in, "Colby, that's no way to talk to your sister! Even I wouldn't dare speak to her like that!" "Breaking news, everyone!" Sandy burst out of her room, waving her phone. "Have you guys seen this? It's blowing up everywhere!"

"What are you talking about?" Adler and Jenna exchanged confused looks.

They'd been so wrapped up in Sophie's issues all day that they hadn't noticed anything online.

"You've got to be kidding! You missed this huge news?"

Sandy pointed at her phone screen, "Earlier today, Claire was claiming she was the Russell family's heiress. Then, within an hour, it vanished from the trending topics! Right after, an article popped up about a fake heiress getting plastic surgery to impersonate someone. It's all here in detail!" "Let me see that," Jenna said, grabbing Sandy's phone.

Sure enough, the screen showed details of Claire's past plastic surgery abroad.

"So she really did have surgery," Jenna mused. "Seems like it didn't turn out well, or she'd look exactly like her."

Just then, Odie stepped out of his room, looking tired from lack of sleep, the chatter outside making it even harder to rest.

"Can you guys take this inside?" Odie asked, his expression cold.

"Hang on, Mr. Odie, check this out," Jenna said, handing him the phone. "The clinic where Claire had he surgery is one of the Mintons See, the logo's right there."

Odie, not aware of the buzz outside, took the phone and saw the

before-and-after photo ne

each stamped with the Mintons' emblem.

Odie's brows knit together as he examined it.

"What's the deal, Mr. Odie? Can you access the records?" Adler asked, anxious.

Odie's face darkened. "There's something fishy about these photos."

Jenna was caught off guard. "What do you mean? The evidence is right there."

Colby frowned too, feeling a wave of unease. Odie explained, "The document claims Claire had surgery last January, costing over a million Such high-profile client information is top-secret and shouldn't leak Plus there'd only be two sets of these photos: one in the clinic's archive and one with the client. Claire wouldn't release them herself. The only ones who could are the Mintons' top brass."

Adler was puzzled, "Is Harold secretly helping us?"

Colby's expression turned icy, his voice edged with caution. "No, they're setting us up, and we've walked right into it."
