Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

All three of them were momentarily stunned.

"What on earth is going on?" Sandy scanned the room, her eyes landing on an enormous pendulum clock on the wall, its deep chimes echoing through the room.

Sophie glanced at the clock. It was precisely 8:00 PM. At that moment, a beam of light illuminated a sofa on the second floor. A man wearing a mask was sitting there. Sophie stared at him, feeling an increasing sense of familiarity. Jenna seemed to have a strong hunch too. She turned to Sophie and said, "Sophie, is that...?" "Is that...?"

"Welcome to the Mintons' dinner party. I am the new CEO of the Mintons."

The voice was unmistakable, leaving Jenna and Sophie completely flabbergasted. Even Sandy found it strange. She nudged Jenna and Sophie, saying, "Isn't that voice familiar? Like, someone's brother? Am I hearing things?"

Sandy was itching to get to the bottom of this. How could Harold be the new CEO of the Mintons? Just a few days ago, they saw the news and Harold hadn't offered any explanations.

Upstairs, Harold removed his mask, revealing his cold, distant face. The crowd was shocked. After disappearing in Devonport for a year, the once aimless rich kid had become the CEO of the Mintons?Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

It was common knowledge that the Aldridge family and the Mintons were bitter rivals!

"Harold? How could it be him?"

"What's going on? Did the Aldridge family take over the Mintons?"

"I heard the Aldridge family's second son disappeared for a year! How did he suddenly become the CEO of the Mintons?"

The room buzzed with questions. Everyone was eager to know what had happened. Harold reiterated, "I am Harold, the new CEO of the Mintons. Moreover, I have no further ties with the Aldridge family. I don't want anyone to call me Mr. Gordon anymore, but Mr. Aldridge."

A chilling seriousness laced Harold's

voice. Suddenly, Sophie mentally merged the Harold from her past life with the Harold standing before her. In her past life, it would have taken Harold several more years to become the cold and authoritative

head of Aldridge Global. B

now,

everything seemed different. Harold... why had he parted ways with the Aldridge family?

Sophie's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, while Jenna could no longer contain herself. "This brat! What does he think he's doing? I need to knock some sense into him!" Jenna was about to charge forward, but Sophie grabbed her arm, stopping her. "Hold on! Have you seen the guards around here? There are at least thirty people patrolling both floors! We can't even get close to Harold, let alone the second floor!"

ve

Sophie gave Jenna a meaningful look. They say eight guards stationed at the staircase leading to the second floor and at least ten men standing behind Harold. Jenna scowled, "This brat, always playing games with us when he was with the Aldridge family! What's he up to? He didn't even tell us about

becoming the CEO of the Mintons!"

"Harold might have his reasons, or maybe... maybe it was Mr. Gordon's directive..." Sophie's words seemed to cool Jenna's anger a bit. If it was indeed Mr. Gordon's directive, it wasn't entirely implausible. But why keep it a secret from them? Just as the three were debating their next move, the door burst open and Rick came rushing in.
