Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

"She's lost it... She's truly lost it!"

Ever since Vanessa betrayed Sophie in her ruthless quest to eliminate her, Sandy had thought Vanessa was insane. But she never imagined Vanessa would go this far, dragging so many people down with her! Sandy shouted, "Vanessa! I must have been blind to call someone like you a friend!"

"Shut your mouth! You never saw me as a friend; you treated me like your most loyal dog! Just because you're the Pollard family heiress, my father made me bow down to you! If you wanted to shop, I had to tag along. Whatever you said, went! You have no right to talk to me like that!"

"You..."

Vanessa couldn't be bothered with Sandy anymore; her eyes were locked on Sophie. The person she hated the most tonight was right there.

"Sophie, you're my prime target today. I've blown through the White family's fortune to trap you here, all to settle the score! You stole the love of my life, and now I'll ensure Colby loses you forever!"

Vanessa's eyes were bloodshot, filled with pure hatred. She had waited too long for this moment. She had watched Colby and Sophie walk down the aisle on TV, exchanging rings. That was the wedding she had dreamt of. But in the end, she wasn't the bride.

From that moment, she decided that even if it meant her own destruction, she would drag those two down with her. She wanted Colby to experience the ultimate pain of losing a loved one.

Sophie, expressionless, observed Vanessa's madness. Indeed, those driven by their emotions were the most terrifying. In Vanessa's life, there was nothing but love.

"Now, let the game begin."

Vanessa's makeup was smeared

from earlier tears, her red lipstick smudged to one side of her mouth, making her look even more

ferocious. She pressed and net

hand, and a beeping sound

her

immediately filled the roomtown,

Everyone knew it was a countdown, and their panic intensified.

"What... What is this?"

"Vanessa! What do you really want?"

"Let us out of here!"

Several socialites, terrified, huddled together tightly. Vanessa smiled slightly and said, "This is a timer. You have three hours. In these three hours, hunters will be after you f you want to survive, you must keep running... keep running. If you're still alive after three hours, you'll be free to go."

Vanessa continued, "I must remind you, if you're caught by the hunters, you'll end up like those women who were dragged away just now-dying a terrible death. Of course, if any of you decide to hand over Sophie, I guarantee your freedom."

Hearing that offering Sophie could secure their escape, their gazes immediately shifted towards the center of the crowd. But unbeknownst to them, Sophie had already vanished from the center of the venue. "Where is she?"

"She was just here! She must have run away! Quick, after her!"

The crowd dispersed in a rush. In the corner, Sophie had sensed something was off from the start, and as expected, Vanessa had pulled this stunt.
