Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

What the heck?

Sophie felt the gift and discovered a key hidden inside.

When she held the key in her hand and looked at the address again.

Sophie was stunned.

Is this... a house?

By the time Sophie stepped out of the mansion, Odie was nowhere to be seen, only a car parked at the entrance.

Colby got out of the car, wearing only a black shirt, not even bothering to put on a coat. Seeing Sophie emerge, he wrapped her in his embrace. Sophie could smell the alcohol on Colby, knowing he hadn't skimped on drinks today. She said, "Stop it, people are watching!"

"Let them watch," Colby said in a deep voice. "None of them has a wife as wonderful as mine."

"Please, stop."

Sophie felt the driver's gaze on them, and just as she pushed Colby away, he wrapped his arm around her waist and lifted her off her feet. "Colby! Have you started to act foolish because you're drunk?"

"Who says I'm drunk?"

A barely concealed smile was on Colby's face as he said, "Just doting on my wife."

With that, Colby carried Sophie into the car.

The driver coughed softly, pretending to see nothing, and then drove Colby and Sophie to the hotel.

Meanwhile, at the wedding venue.

"What on earth is going on? Where are the bride and groom?"

Angelo and Sandy had lost sight of the bride and groom; as best man and maid of honor, they'd been toasted quite a bit and were already flushed.

"Sob, bro, I can't drink anymore!" Sandy said. "This is more than I've ever drunk in my life!"

"You think I feel any different? Did the Costello family's patriarch lose his mind? A table full of bourbon! Who drinks that much over a hundred tables?" Angelo regretted volunteering as the best man for the excitement.

Elsewhere, Adler and Jenna had come out of the dressing room and upon seeing the two still drinking

said "Why are you still drinking? We're about to clock out."

Angelo was taken aback, "What? Weren't we supposed to keep drinking?"

"Colby

gone

Ophie have already

their own little world,

just the two of you earnet

to toast!"

Angelo and Sandy's faces darkened.

No one told them it could be like this!

Meanwhile.

Sophie and Colby had already arrived at the hotel they had booked in advance.

As soon as they entered, Colby

pinned Sophie against the wall and kissed her, the taste of alcohole mixed with Colby's unique scent, swiftly making Sophie's head spin.

"Sophie, you really are beautiful today."

Colby's voice was low and husky, barely containing himself.

Sophie, a bit shy, pushed Colby away and immediately saw something on the bed.

"What's this?"

Sophie approached and saw neatly arranged on the bed were gifts filled with cash.

"Is this... cash gifts?"

Sophie hadn't expected to receive so much from over a hundred tables!

"Cash gifts from nearly a thousand guests, a bit more, and the bed wouldn't be able to hold them."

Colby said, frowning, "Who let them throw the cash gifts on the bed?"

"It was us!"

Suddenly, Adler and Jenna burst in, followed closely by Angelo and Sandy.

Sophie was startled, "You guys..."

Jenna said, "Reece went on tour, almost didn't make it in time, so we came over to open the gifts together."
