Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)

"Trouble? What kind of trouble could there be?" Angelo walked out of the kitchen, a chicken drumstick hanging from his mouth.

Sandy, clutching her phone, said anxiously, "Dad's not answering my calls!"

Angelo rolled his eyes. "Seriously? Is him not answering your call that rare? The old man never answers mine!"

"How can you compare yourself to me? Daddy adores me! He has never not answered my calls before!" Sandy was on the verge of tears.

Sophie chimed in, "Could it be that he just didn't see it?"

"That's impossible! Daddy is always glued to his phone. I called him last night, and he didn't answer. He should have called me back today! But now, no one picks up!" "Why don't you just call the house phone then?" Angelo suggested.

He immediately took out his cell phone, dialed the landline at home, and after a single ring, the call was answered, "Hello, you've reached the Pollard residence." "Hey, it's your young master. Put my father on the phone."

"The young master? Is it really you?"

"No kidding! Who else would it be? Hurry up and get the old man on the phone!"

"Young master... the master, he... he's..."

Hearing the hesitation on the other end, Angelo's tone grew serious, "What's going on? What happened to the old man?"

"The master... the master has been hospitalized!"

Angelo's heart raced. "Which hospital? What's wrong with him? Is it serious?"

"It's very serious. The doctor said... it's just a matter of days now."

Angelo's urgency spiked. "Listen, we're coming home! We're heading back right now!"

After hanging up, Angelo dragged Sandy downstairs. Sandy, puzzled, asked, "Brother, what's going on?"

"Dad's been hospitalized! We need to rush back overseas. I'm booking the flights right now!"

"What?!"

Meanwhile, overseas at the Pollard family residence-

Viona hung up the phone, turned to Caelum standing nearby, and whispered, "Master, was it okay to say that?"

Caelum, with a stern face, replied, "Next time, get straight to the point and make it more dramatic."

"Yes, master," Viona agreed, though inwardly she rolled her eyes. How much more dramatic could she get? Any more, and it would sound like a death sentence! Caelum settled into the sofa, and the butler poured him a cup of tea. "Master, will the young master and miss come back?"

"They will definitely come back.

Those two rascals sneaking out when I wasn looking, thinking I wouldn't find out? I turn a blind eye when they go out to have fun for a few days, but now, they've been out playing for so long they even went to Summerfield. Is that a place they should be going? Staying in Summerfield any longer, and ten enemies wouldn't be enough to deal with them!"

"Yes, yes, the young master and miss were indeed impulsive this time." Caelum took a sip of tea. "The Russell family's girl married Colby, didn't she?" "Yes, our young master and miss were the best man and maid of honor."

"That's giving face to the Costello family," Caelum said with discontent. "If our Aiden had been there, the Russell girl might not have married into the Costello family!"

The butler chuckled awkwardly. "When Ms. Sophie was born, you, master, even tried to secure a match for her. Unfortunately, it didn't work out."

"The four great families are closely

linked, and in this generation, the Russell family had the only daughter. They fought tooth and nail for their grandsons, initially settling on the Aldridge family. If it weren't for unforeseen circumstances, those two were a match made in heaven. Who would have thought fate had other plans, and in the end, it benefited the Costello family's lad."
