Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1365

"Damn! I thought you were dead!" Adler yelled, feeling a jolt of panic until Jenna smacked him on the back of the head. "Dead? Look again! She's not dead!" she chided. "Not dead?" Adler pointed at Sophie's face. "Sophie, what's up with your face?"

Sophie wiped her face with the sleeve of her white dress, and the greenish-gray makeup that had been covering her face started to come off. "It's just makeup," she explained.

"You scared the life out of me! I really thought you were..." Adler stopped himself from finishing the sentence.

Odie, seeing Sophie like this, initially had a grin forming on his face, but it quickly vanished. He gave Sophie a gentle smack on the forehead and said, "Not dead and yet you couldn't wake up earlier? Did you need everyone to mourn you first?" Sophie nearly stumbled back into the coffin from Odie's playful slap. She replied, "Joseph's people are probably outside. If they find out I'm alive, James could be in danger."

Jenna was puzzled. "James? What's James got to do with all this?"

"Let's discuss it later. I need to wash my face first." Sophie said, as Elodie and Jenna helped her out of the coffin. She glanced around and asked, "Where's Colby?"

"Out cold," Griffin chimed in. "I only used about eighty percent of my strength; he might have a tough time waking up today."

"Ask your dear husband. He stormed into the Burke estate, got into a shootout for over ten minutes, and nearly didn't make it out alive." As he spoke, Odie tossed a blood-stained ring into Sophie's hands.
