Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Kena motioned for Sophie and Colby to sit down. "I know you both just got off a flight," she said, "so I had breakfast ready for us. Let's chat while we eat." "Sounds perfect."

A maid came down the stairs, handing a folder to Kena. "Miss, here are the papers you asked for."

Kena nodded, passing the folder to Sophie. "These are the documents you mentioned on the phone. I sifted through them and think they include what you're after." "Thanks for going out of your way."

"No trouble at all. If it weren't for you, Ms. Sophie, I'd still be just a maid at the Mintons'. You showed me how to take charge of my life. I'll always remember that." "You made the choice yourself. No need to thank me."

"You say that, but without your guidance, I wouldn't be running the Gibbs estate today."

Kena had picked up a lot from working with Odie, which now helped her manage the Gibbs estate so smoothly. With Odie in a bind, she couldn't just stand by.

Sophie opened the folder, finding records of the Gibbs estate's spending over the years, including their shady dealings and the help they had given to the Mintons. Daniel, sharp as a tack, kept his books crystal clear.

Unfortunately, these details weren't enough to threaten Odie and instead had landed her in hot water. A prime example of being too clever for one's own good.

"All these years, the Gibbs estate has been so generous with dividends to the Mintons. What's Daniel really after?"

"The Mintons have a complex web of connections. Daniel might have something on them or is trying toProperty © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

gain power through them. You've et

been in Summerfield, Ms. Sophie, so you know it's full of rich folks but short on those with real influence. Apart from the Mintons, the Gibbs estate runs the show here."

Kena paused, recalling something. "Going through the accounts, I noticed at the people trying to curry favor with Odie or aiming to climb the social ladder in Summerfield. Daniel took a lot of bribes, enough to keep the Mintons satisfied

"No wonder."

No wonder the Gibbs estate could afford to be so generous with the Mintons and still be rolling in wealth. They always had support from others.

"It's pretty common, actually," Kena

continued. "People will pay big bucks just for an invite. In Summerfield, money doesn't hold as much weight as power. Everyone's got cash but not clout, so they're eager to swap what they have for what they lack. Without a strong ally, the wealthy can find themselves pushed out and bankrupt overnight."

Kena shook her head. "You might not know, Ms. Sophie, but since the Minton power shake-up, Summerfield's gotten even more chaotic. Everyone's scrambling to grab the Minton's power. If the boss hadn't returned briefly..." "Hold on."

Sophie frowned, interrupting, "Odie came back recently? When exactly?"
