Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 258

Calla was terrified by the look in Sophie’s eyes, and all she could do was lower her head and hurry out of the bedroom.

By the time Calla reached downstairs, James had already finished his conversation with Bea, who gave her a deep, meaningful glance.

At that glance, Calla could sense Bea’s disapproval of her. Could it be, just as Sophie had said, that Bea had seen through her charade long ago but chose not to confront it directly?

Upstairs, James opened the door to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. He glanced at the unopened first aid kit, then proceeded to open it and retrieve the medicine.

At that moment, the bathroom door opened, and Sophie emerged, her figure perfectly outlined by the bathrobe she wore, her hair still dripping with water droplets.

Sophie frowned slightly; she hadn’t heard James enter and had thought he would be talking with Bea for much longer than he had.

James, looking at Sophie in this state, pressed his lips together and said, “Let me treat your wound.”
