Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 1513

Colby showed up in just thirty minutes flat. Normally, the drive from the airport to Aldridge Estate takes a good

forty minutes at least. No doubt, he must've been running red lights, speeding, and pulling off swild stunts

to make it there so quick. The alarms outside the Aldridge Estate were blaring nonstop. Someone was definitely

trying to break in. Inside, Odie slipped on his noise-canceling headphones, knowing all too well how Colby

operates. If he can't get in the easy way, he doesn't mind going for the hard way. But this time, he was here to

see Sophie, so he had to play nice and not upset her. He probably didn't break in, but he definitely set off the

alarms.

As expected, the Aldridge family's security team rushed to the front gate. When they saw who it was, they were

taken aback. There was Colby, standing solo outside the iron gate with a gun in hand. He must've shot an alarm,

setting off every single one in the place. "Colby, what's going on here?" The lead guard stepped up, trying to

negotiate. One on the inside, one on the outside, and the tension was thick.

"I'm here for Sophie. Open the gate."

"Colby, it's not up to us. Mr. Aldridge gave strict orders not to open it... unless Ms. Sophie wants to see you

herself. Otherwise, we can't risk it."

Harold had left them with clear instructions. When in doubt, use Sophie as the excuse. And sure enough, Colby's

stern look softened a bit. "I don't want to cause trouble, but if Sophie won't see me, I'll have to take matters into

my own hands."

The lead guard was in a tough spot. It would be different if it were anyone else, but this was Colby. They couldn't

really make a move on him, and even if they did, they wouldn't stand a chance.

"Colby, why not try reaching out to Ms. Sophie? If she's willing to see you, then everyone wins..."

Before the guard could finish, Colby suddenly reached through the iron gate. In a flash, he had the security

captain, by the collar, holding him tight. "Colby... we can talk this out, but even if you kill me, | can't fet you in

without Mr. Aldridge's say so."

The captain was on the verge of tears. They were all rigorously trained by the Aldridge family. No matter the

cost, loyalty to the family cfirst. If Harold said no entry, then no entry it was, even if it meant facing Colby's

wrath. "She won't sit by and watchdo this," Colby said calmly. He knew exactly what Sophie hated most, and

it was the only way to get her to cout.

And just like that, Sophie appeared,

walking out from the Aldridge

mansion. The crowd parted to make way for her. She approached the iron gate, eye's fixed on the security

captain caught in Colby's grip. "Do you really have to pushto cout like this?"

It had been a week since she'd last seen him. Colby looked rough around the edges, like he hadn't slept in days.

Dark circles under his eyes, his hair and beard had grown far cry from the neat

out

appearance Sophie used to maintain for him. Now, even his stubble was showing.
