Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1008

Elodie frowned.

Sophie's smile softened, “So, does that mean the medicine is okay?”

“The medicine is fine, but Gordon won’t take it.”

“I know, he definitely won’t take it.”

“So, what did you come here for? Just to find out why he won’t take his medicine?”

“Knowing the reason makes things easier for me.”

As long as it wasn’t a problem with the medicine.

Sophie prepared to leave the café, but Elodie called out, “Mrs. Costello! Are you really going to let Burke International fall into my hands?”

Sophie stopped and turned, “If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Elodie, you’re planning a bit of a heist, trying to snag that 45% share from me? Those shares James left me are mine to sell. If I sell them to you, you’d be the largest shareholder in Burke International. When March rolls around, Bea, wanting to support you against me, will probably hand over her 10% of shares to you. With other shareholders on your side to oust me as the new CEO, you’d control 55% of the company, making you the top dog at Burke International. Even Bea wouldn’t be able to challenge you then.”

Elodie found Sophie’s words amusing.

Sophie continued, “You’ve thought this through, Ms. Elodie, but if I dare sell you the shares, would you dare buy them?”

Elodie raised an eyebrow, “Why wouldn’t I?”

“Griffin, I think you’d make a great barista. How about you work here from now on? I’ll buy this café and gift it to you.”

Griffin didn’t look up, instead placing a caramel latte in front of Elodie.

“What’s the plan now?”

“To have some fun,” Elodie raised an eyebrow, “I didn’t come all this way to leave empty-handed. Besides… I’ve had my eye on Burke International for a long time.”

Meanwhile, Sophie drove swiftly towards the Burke Estate.

The maids at Burke Estate were taken aback to see Sophie rushing back so urgently.
