Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1331

"I only use people when they can help me reach my goals."

James's voice was icy. "If that's all, I'm hanging up."

"What if, one day, I ask you to take out Sophie? Would you?"

The guy on the other end sounded like he was testing the waters, probing with curiosity.

James responded flatly, "She's a woman who's no longer in my life, so I won't go easy on her."

"Alright, remember you said that."

The line went dead.

James stared at the phone, now silent, then glanced at a bunch of missed calls from Angelo.

His brow furrowed deeply.

Sophie...

I hope you're tougher than you look.

Meanwhile, over at Burke Estate...

Angelo was pacing like a cat on a hot tin roof, clearly frazzled.

What the heck is happening?

James, you jerk! Not answering your phone!

Angelo tried calling James again, only to find himself blocked.

"Darn it! I'm done trusting you!"

With that, Angelo flung his phone aside. "You rat!"

Sandy walked in just in time to catch this scene.

She was taken aback. "Bro, what's up with you?"

Angelo's face was clouded with frustration for a moment.
