Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1811

James sat across from Sophie, his eyes seemingly piercing right through her. Sophie didn't like that look; it felt like he was peeling away her layers, leaving her completely exposed.

"Fine, I'll smoke," she said, grabbing the pack of cigarettes in front of her and randomly pulling one out. She placed it between her lips, but as she was about to light it, James interrupted, "You need to inhale while you light it."

Sophie tried to follow his instructions but found she couldn't even manage to light it properly. "So what if I can't smoke?" she said defiantly, setting the pack down. "Yeah, I'm faking it. Go ahead and tell on me."

With that, she slumped back in her chair, adopting a 'whatever, let it all fall apart' attitude. James said, "I never said I'd tell on you."

"You... won't tell on me?" Sophie looked at him suspiciously.

James replied, "You've been acting like a rebel at school, causing trouble just to keep people from hurting you."

"You're talking nonsense!" A flicker of panic crossed Sophie's eyes, as if he'd seen right through her. "Why would I be afraid of getting hurt? I'm the Russell family's heiress!"
