Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1845

Colby kept quiet.

You can't really hide the way your eyes light up when you like someone. But since Fiona was his daughter, he wasn't going to make things easy for Alec. If Alec was serious about winning her over, he'd have to go through Colby first.

Fiona tagged along with James into the Burke estate. The place hadn't changed much since she was little. The maids had already spruced up the rooms. But instead of heading straight to her room, she made a beeline for James's study.

Fiona nodded eagerly, like a little chick pecking at feed. James massaged his temples, feeling the effects of a bit too much booze from earlier. He pointed at a nearby bookshelf, saying, "Third shelf, left side, third book. That's your dad's file. Go ahead, take a look."

With that, James downed a glass of water and added, "I've got a meeting tomorrow, so remember to put it back when you're done."
