Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1296

Ricardo looked like he'd been hit where it hurt, glaring at Adler, who didn’t even flinch. “Mr. Ricardo, you need to realize your situation. We're being generous by letting you stay here for a chat. If we were heartless, we'd force you to repay your debts, and you'd be considering jumping off a building by now!”

“Why do you talk so much?” Jenna cut in. “Can’t you just shut up?”

As soon as Jenna spoke, Adler promptly zipped his lips.

Sophie, who was watching Timothy busy in the kitchen, said, “Timothy, please take Mr. Ricardo upstairs. Show him to the guest room at the end of the hallway; he likes his privacy.”

“Yes, Ms. Sophie.”

As Timothy walked over, the marks from Sophie’s previous reprimand were still visible on his neck. Odie noticed and instantly understood that Sophie was just finding a reason to send Timothy away.

Once Timothy and Ricardo were upstairs, Sophie turned to Adler. “Mr. Adler, the ledger.”

Adler spread his hands, remaining silent.

Jenna frowned. “Where’s the ledger?”

“You told me not to talk, remember?”

“Are you looking for a slap?”

Seeing Jenna about to raise her hand, Adler quickly said, “The ledger’s in your bag! You forgot!”

“...” Realizing her mistake, Jenna sheepishly pulled the ledger from her bag, apologizing, “Sorry, got so caught up in the story, I forgot.”
