Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1465

The bodyguard standing outside the castle gates had a presence that was hard to ignore. When Sophie handed over her invitation, she was a bit on edge, worried they'd ask for fingerprint scans or face recognition-stuff that could really complicate things. But the bodyguard just gave it a quick once-over and waved her in.

Sophie couldn't help but think, "Seriously? That easy?"

This castle was one of the top three architectural wonders internationally, usually swarming with tourists during the day. Yet somehow, someone had pulled off hosting a private dinner party here.

Once inside, Sophie noticed a security checkpoint. The scanners were busy making sure no one was sneaking in anything they shouldn't be. Sophie was unarmed, but Colby, looking out for her, had set her up with a Bluetooth earpiece so they could stay in touch. They figured their best bet was to split up-Sophie would head in first, with Colby following.

After thinking it over, Sophie decided to ditch the earpiece, tossing it into a corner where it wouldn't draw attention. As she moved further in, she saw a guy ahead being hauled off by two bodyguards because the alarm went off. People around didn't even bat an eye-it was just another Tuesday for them.
