Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

It was late at night at the Summerfield Hotel. Colby heard a knock at his door.

When he opened it, he saw Gina standing there, her face pale and tears streaming down like a spring rain. Colby frowned, almost instinctively wanting to close the door. But Gina quickly put her hand on the door frame, not caring if it might get caught. "Mr. Colby! I need to talk to you!" she said, her voice urgent and shaky.

"We have nothing to discuss," Colby replied coldly, ready to shut the door. Just then, Gina blurted out, "I genuinely admire you, Mr. Colby! Remember when you saved me overseas?"

Colby shot her a frosty glance. He didn't recall saving this woman.

"I've taken many lives and saved many too. What makes you think I'd remember you?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't remember me, Mr. Colby, as long as I remember you!" Gina looked earnestly at him. "If it weren't for you, I'd have died overseas! My father was drowning in debt, and you spared me! I'm truly grateful. Everything I said in front of Ms. Sophie tonight came from the heart... I genuinely care about you, Mr. Colby! I've worked hard to get where I am today, just to stand before you. I don't want you to hate me."

Gina looked at him with eyes full of plea.

Another man might have been swayed by her performance. But Colby was a seasoned actor himself. He had read countless faces, understanding the story behind each expression. He knew Gina's tale was part truth, part fiction.

Seeing Colby's silence, Gina softened her tone, "Mr. Colby, I'm not trying to come between you and Ms. Sophie, but I couldn't stand by while she insulted you in front of everyone... So..."

"Are you finished?" Colby's tone was ice-cold.

Gina hesitated.

"If you're done, then leave."

"Mr. Colby!" she pleaded again, blocking the door with her hand.

This time, Colby was determined

"Anything?"NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

There was a faint trace of amusement in Colby's voice.

"Yes! Anything!"

Gina looked at him with unwavering determination, She was younger than Sophie, few men would turn down the attention of a woman in her prime. In terms of looks, Gina was confident, even if she didn't quite match up to Sophie. But isn't novelty what men often crave?

Gina was sure she could win over this so-called overseas ruler.

Colby, observing her, decided to humor her for a bit.

"My wife prefers I keep my distance from other women. You should know that."
