Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Sophie grabbed the taser from the security guard and marched up to the troublemaking boss. He gave her a once-over and sneered, "Mrs. Costello? What, no men left in the Costello family, so they send a woman to handle business? The Smiths are a big deal in Devonport, and this is your hospitality? Making guests wear mourning bands? What kind of treatment is this from a prominent Devonport family?" Before he could say another word, Sophie swung the taser and smacked him hard on the head.

Everyone gasped. The boss, bleeding and terrified, crumpled to the ground, pointing at Sophie in shock and anger. "You... you! How dare you attack me in broad daylight?"

"My grandfather hated being humiliated, and the Costello family never shies away from a fight. The Smiths are nothing! If I, Sophie, don't make you disappear from Devonport in three days, then my name isn't Sophie Costello!" "You'll pay for this! Just wait!"

The boss tried to escape but was quickly blocked by two enforcers.

"Yes, ma'am!"
