Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Elodie shook her head, saying, "I can't count how many times I've thought my ideas were ridiculous, but the truth is, he spent years and countless resources chasing the treasure of Devonport. Sometimes I think it's all for nothing, but he really did go for it." She gave a bitter smile and added, "Honestly, I'm grateful to that person. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gotten a second shot at life, become the Elodie I am now, or met Griffin. Meeting Griffin in this life... it's been my biggest stroke of luck." Sophie couldn't help but fall silent as she looked at Elodie.

Wasn't it the same for her?

Becoming the Sophie she was now, meeting Colby-that was her biggest blessing.

And on this journey, she'd also met so many wonderful friends.

Elodie continued, "Ms. Sophie, if you want our help moving forward, we'll do our best. But I have to be honest I'm a selfish person. Heaven's given me a second chance, and I don't want to risk my life. I'll help you, but only if it doesn't put Griffin or me in danger." "Alright, I can accept that."

"Thank you, Ms. Sophie."

Soon after, Elodie and Sophie came downstairs, one after the other.

Elodie helped Griffin, who was lounging on the couch, to his feet. "Now that we've cleared things up, can Griffin and I leave?"

"Sure thing."

Sophie's agreement made Jenna's jaw drop. "Sophie! You're really letting them go just like that? What if..."

"There are no 'what ifs.' I trust them."

Jenna had no choice but to let it go, allowing Elodie and Griffin to leave.

As Elodie and Griffin walked away, Adler commented, "Honestly, Griffin might be a bit of a jerk, but he treats Elodie well. He was willing to risk his life to save hers. Just for that, I respect him."

"Whose side are you on?" Jenna

"Fair point" Adler admitted. "But

understandable! The fact thahet

considering his line of work, it's

Sophie isn't dead means he wasn't really trying to kill her."

"Right, he wasn't trying to kill her; he wanted to use Sophie to threaten Colby!"

Jenna turned to Sophie. "Sophie, working with those two, you have to be careful."

"I know, don't worry. I've got it under control."

Curious, Adler asked, "But what did Elodie talk to you about upstairs, Sophie? It's so secretive that even we can't know?"

"Yep, it's a secret."

Sophie made a shushing gesture, which only made Adler more curious.

Jenna's gossip radar was also triggered. "What kind of secret is it that even we can't know?"

Sophie teased, "Not only can I not tell you, but I can't even tell Colby."

Hearing this, Jenna and Adler both looked at Colby standing next to Sophie.

Colby confidently said, "If my wife doesn't want to say, then I won't ask."

Adler rolled his eyes. "And here I thought you might get something out of her for us. You're totally whipped!"
