Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

Watching Adler being completely under Sophie's thumb, Jenna couldn't help but facepalm. "Do as you please then."

Just hope Adler doesn't end up crying about regretting it later.

"Jenna, I want to ask you, that move you pulled on Griffin, did you learn it a long time ago?"

"Yeah."

Jenna nodded. "Not only do I know it, Adler does too. When we were kids, Grandpa always liked to train us. You know, for families like ours, getting kidnapped is almost routine, especially when we were younger. Rival businesses or kidnappers often targeted us, hoping to get a hefty ransom. Grandpa believed that whether we were boys or girls, we all needed to know how to protect ourselves. He taught us specifically for that."

"Actually, the backstab move is simple; the hardest part is to appear weak first."

Adler chimed in, "Grandpa Lennon drilled it into us from a young age that if we were caught, we had to show weakness first, let the captor lower their guard, and then strike when they least expect it. He taught us various techniques, like grappling and judo throws, but I never got as good as Jenna. Jenna has always been into this stuff, even took up kickboxing as a kid. Griffin really picked the wrong target. If it had been me, I probably would have been overpowered in no time!"

"You realize your fighting skills aren't up to par?"

Jenna shook her head helplessly, having hoped to find a man who could always protect her. But now, seeing Adler's feeble physique, it seemed she would have to be the one taking care of him. Sophie nodded, saying, "I see..."

"If you want to learn, I can teach you. Trust me, it'll come in handy when you least expect it!"

"Sure!"

Sophie readily agreed.

Who knows what kind of dangers they might face in the future?

Learning a new skill could one day save her life.

'Knock, knock-

At the hospital room door, a bodyguard dressed in black entered, asking, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Sophie?"

"That's me."

Sophie noticed the tattoo on the bodyguard's neck and asked, "Did Odie send you? What for?"

"Our boss would like to invite Colby and Ms. Sophie to recuperate at a different location."

Upon hearing this, Jenna was the first to express her dissatisfaction, asking, "A different place to recuperate? Where? A holiday resort, or Odie's private villa?"

"It's our boss's private villa. He

mentioned that the hospital environment isn't ideal, so he

ted

you both to rest at the Minton family

residence for convenience

Sophie said, "Your boss already sent someone to covertly look after Colby, and now he's inviting us over? Sounds like he's up to no good."

The bodyguard continued, "Our boss

regretted his decision right after

making it. He said those useless ones couldn't fool Ms. Sophie. Instead of saving on Ms. Sophie's nursing fees, he thought it'd be better to invite both of you to the Minton family residence. It saves money and trouble for everyone."

Adler couldn't believe it, saying, "Really? Odie is a big shot in Summerfield, and he's reluctant to have his men here as caregivers for a few days?"

"Who knows what he's planning? But

I can tell he's not a good pe

Jenna said, pausing before correcting herself, "No, wait! He's definitely not a good person!"
