Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

"Cough, cough!"

Hearing Colby's words, Jenna nearly choked on the bite of pizza she had just taken. "You really are my brother! You hurt your left hand; what does that have to do with your right hand?"

"My right hand hurts too," Colby lied without a trace of shame.

"Your right hand hurts too? Did you injure it as well? Let me see."

Sophie anxiously checked Colby's right hand, causing Adler to drop his fork in shock. "Sophie, are you serious? Can't you tell he's faking it?"

"...Faking it?"

Sophie examined Colby's arm and, sure enough, there wasn't a single scratch on it.

Seeing this, Sophie tossed Colby's hand back and said, "If your hand is fine, then eat by yourself!"

"But I want my wife to feed me."

Hearing Colby's mushy words, Jenna could hardly stand it and nearly threw up the leftover pizza.

So gross! Absolutely gross!

Is this really her brother?

No way, she absolutely refuses to acknowledge it!

Jenna put down her fork and said, "I'm feeling a bit unwell; shall we head out?"

Jenna gave Adler a look, and though he was initially engrossed in his meal, he immediately caught on. "Right, we've got things to take care of. There's a whole mess waiting for us in Devonport that needs sorting out. Ignoring it wouldn't be good."

Saying that, Adler hurriedly put down his fork and stood up, while Sophie, still feeding Colby, complained to Jenna, "Jenna, stop being dramatic."

"I'm not causing trouble. Staying would just interrupt your alone time!"

At this point, her brother's eyes couldn't see anyone but Sophie.

Jenna sighed deeply.

Indeed, when boys grow up, they marry, and when girls grow up, they marry; the nest isn't meant to stay full!

"Colby needs to stay in the hospital

for recovery these days, so we can't

return to Devonport for a short while. We'll need Jenna and Mr.

while

Adler to go back and take care of

things in Devonport."

Hearing they needed to return to manage the company, Adler instinctively stood up, saying, "This... this we can't handle! Elodie is notoriously ruthless! Colby and you might manage, but me..."

"Brother-in-law, I know this is hard

for you, but I still hope you can hold

on for just two or three days, just two or three days. I promise, right after that, we'll rush to Devonport without stopping!"

Hearing Sophie call him brother-in-law, Adler's ego soared. "Sophie, what did you just call me?"

"Brother-in-law."

Sophie smiled slyly.

Adler immediately felt at ease. "Say it again!"

"Brother-in-law!"

"Sophie! Stop shouting that!"

Jenna's face turned bright red, while Adler righteously said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry.. Leave Devonport's

matters to your brother-in-law. Ifet

your sister won't take care of it will! I'll definitely protect Devonport for you, not letting that Chu family take advantage!"

Sophie had predicted that calling Adler brother-in-law would work like a charm, and she thanked him profusely. "I knew brother-in-law would help us. Thank you so much." "Adler, you..."

"Jenna, your brother's issues are our family's issues. Don't worry, I won't let you stress. I'll handle everything perfectly, just trust me."
