Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1511

Colby came back from overseas a week later, and by then, gossip about his and Sophie's marriage had hit fever pitch. Rumors were flying everywhere some folks said Sophie had checked out of the marriage and was now spending her days in Devonport, hanging out with young, handsome models. Others went so far as to claim she had a younger man stashed away at home and was romantically involved with Harold, the new head honcho of the Aldridge Estate.

Hashtags like #Sophie ColbyDivorce, #Sophie HaroldShacking Up, #Sophie ClubSugar Daddy, and #SophieOurRole Model were lighting up the trending lists. By noon, Sophie strolled downstairs from the second floor, munching on a sandwich, and couldn't help but chuckle at what was trending on her phone.

Even a notorious photo of Sophie leaving a nightclub wearing Harold's clothes resurfaced. Back then, the PR teams of the Aldridge and Burke families managed to sweep it all under the rug.

Once these stories hit the web, everyone thought they were onto something. Harold, however, wasn't amused. With a stern look, he said, "You've had your fun and stirred the pot. Isn't it time you gave me a proper explanation?"
