Chapter 16

According to the timeline, it would be three years after Lennon’s death that Colby’s identity would be revealed

Was it her rebirth that had unintentionally changed everything?

At this moment, Nichole paled at Lennon’s remark. Wasn’t it rumored that Colby was an orphan? How could he possibly be Lennon’s grandson?

Lennon heard everything she just said? Offending Lennon meant a dead end in the finance world for the rest of her life.

Thinking this, Nichole turned to James for help.

“Mr. Lennon, Nichole just spoke without thinking. Considering her young age, I hope you can overlook this.” Lennon simply snorted. “I heard you had a prodigy by your side, Mr. Burke. It seems like she’s nothing special after all.”

Nichole turned deathly pale. She had clearly lost all favor in Lennon’s eyes.

Sophie watched the scene unfold.

At this point, even James speaking up was futile. Nichole just spoke ill of Lennon’s grandson: She could stay here and didn’t get thrown out, which was already quite generous.

James pressed his lips together and remained silent.

When Lennon’s gaze fell on Sophie, it softened. “You must be one of the Russells, right?”

Sophie, realizing Lennon was addressing her, nodded and said, “I’m Sophie.”
