Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn Novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105
Sophie couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
In this lifetime, she was definitely not going to make the mistake of waiting until James had exploited every benefit from the Russell family before pulling out. She planned to take the initiative and strike first.
The sanitation workers in Devonport were quick to act, and the sewage district Sophie had previously purchased was already being cleaned and reformed. It would be completely transformed in a few months. To save time, Sophie had already started other necessary
work.
Thanks to previous approvals, many entrepreneurs had begun investing with Sophie, providing not only sufficient funds but also a surplus
In the evening. Sophie set a small dinner at home. Adler placed a folder on the table and exclaimed, “Billions of dollars in half a month. Ms. Sophie, your move is truly brilliant.”
Colby said. “We can definitely start other businesses before the completion of this project.
Sophie nodded and replied, “I know. That’s why I moved some funds ahead of time for a small investment.”
“Small investment?” Colby raised an eyebrow. “Billions went out. That doesn’t sound small.”
Sophie hadn’t expected Colby to find out so quickly about the billions she had shifted.
Actually, she hadn’t intended to keep it a secret from Colby, especially since she had been busy dealing with James recently. She had delegated many tasks to Colby, and he was well aware of the financial details.
“How much? Billions in investment?” Jenna almost choked on her beer. “What kind of investment takes billions? That’s hardly small.”
Sophie explained, “I’ve bought out several projects under the Russell family’s name.”
“What? You bought out your own family’s projects?” Adler was stunned. “Really? But you’re the daughter of the Russell family. Why would you need to pay for your own family’s projects?”
Sophie laid out the recent project files she had purchased on the table, consisting of some unremarkable real estate projects and some investment follow-ups.
Adler commented, “These look very ordinary. Some barely break even, and others are outright losses. Why are you buying these?” “These were purchased at a low price, and they’ll have potential for appreciation in the future.”
“How could these appreciate!”
Sophie didn’t really expect Adler to believe in the future appreciation of these projects. Still, she clearly remembered that in her previous life, James had already eyed these projects before their divorce.
He had acquired them at very low prices, and these undervalued stocks had skyrocketed in a few years. The unremarkable real estate projects had also become highly sought after due to a new key high school being built nearby, bringing in a significant profit
Sophie continued, “Of course, I couldn’t purchase these projects under my identity. I used a different identity to avoid suspicion.”
Adler asked, “How long do you think it will take to break even?”
“Two years.”
**Only two years?”
Adler watched Sophie skeptically.
Ever since Sophie had purchased that piece of land, Adler had doubted her judgment. Even after the land’s value soared, he still thought it was just Sophie’s luck.
Colby watched Sophie’s calm demeanor and simply smiled faintly. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe in Sophie, but rather, he was prepared to support whatever decision she made, regardless of whether the investments made money or not.
As long as she was happy, that was all that mattered.
After dinner, Jenna had to rush back to the office for an urgent matter, and Adler and Colby left together.
