Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1210

James paused, took a breath, and said, "I'm not around to watch over Sophie. Can you keep an eye on Timothy for me?"

"Sure! No problem!"

"Sophie's sharp, but she trusts people too easily and isn't ruthless enough. She's going to get burned sooner or later."

"Not ruthless enough? Where'd you get that idea?"

Angelo had been with Sophie for quite a while, and everyone always said Colby was the cutthroat one. Yet, he thought Colby wasn't half as fierce as his own wife!

Of course, Colby was ruthless to others.

Sophie was ruthless to herself.

But if a woman who's already so hard on herself became even more ruthless, wouldn't that be terrifying?

James fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "With Colby by her side, I'm not too worried. Devonport's about to get chaotic; Caelum made the right call keeping you overseas. If you want to come back, take your sister and leave as soon as possible."

"Um, just curious, when you say 'chaotic'... how bad are we talking?"

"Bloodshed."

Odie straightened his suit. "How do I look? Sharp enough?"

He turned to Jonah, who nodded. "Very sharp."

"Good."

"Make sure to bring extra people with you later." Odie's tone was calm. "It's my succession ceremony today, and I don't want it feeling like a ghost town."

"Yes, boss."

Just then, noise erupted from outside the door.
