Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"What rumors?"

"Your dad was a big shot overseas, with people from both the underworld and the legit world showing him respect. That was before he met your mom, though." Harold explained, "He cleaned up his act to win over Sophie, but his legendary takeover of the docks is still talked about. Your mom doesn't really know how intense he was back then. To us guys, he's like a legend."

Fiona mulled this over for a bit and asked, "But I've never seen my dad lift a finger all these years?"

"That's because things are calm around here now, and nothing's really been worth his time." Harold teased, giving Fiona's head a playful nudge. "If you're really curious about your dad's glory days, you should ask your godfather."

"Why ask him?" Fiona looked puzzled.

How would her godfather know about her dad's past exploits?

"I reckon your godfather and your dad were love rivals back in the day. He probably did his homework on your dad."

Fiona had a lightbulb moment after hearing Harold's explanation.

Ah, that makes sense!

Spotting James sipping his drink nearby, Fiona mischievously headed his way.

Alec saw the glint in her eye and tugged at her shirt, "Fiona, what are you scheming now?"

"I want to hear some stories about Dad's past." Fiona shrugged off Alec's hand and shot back, "Don't you want to know too?"

"..." Alec did want to know.

Growing up, he had always idolized Colby. Unfortunately, he was born too late to witness Colby's legendary feats overseas.

James glanced at his watch, put out his cigarette, and stood up, "I've got a meeting at the company tomorrow; I'm heading out."

Sophie noticed James was alone and said, "Why not crash here tonight? Can you even drive after drinking?"

"I've got a driver."

Just as James was about to leave, Fiona called out, "Godfather! I'm staying over at your place tonight!"

"Fiona, your godfather has a meeting tomorrow..."

Before Sophie could finish, Colby chimed in, "If she wants to go, let her."noveldrama

Colby held Sophie's hand, not at all worried about Fiona possibly bothering James. He figured with someone else watching Fiona, he and Sophie could enjoy some alone time. swnovel

"I'm coming too."

Alec quickly added, coming up with an excuse, "I... I'll keep an eye on Fiona."

"Let's go."

James didn't object.

The driver was already waiting outside.

Odie watched as Alec and Fiona left one after the other and remarked, "Colby, is Fiona dating that Tredgold kid?" swnovel

"Alec and Fiona?" Sophie frowned, thinking it over, "I doubt it."

"Then that Tredgold kid must have a thing for Fiona," Odie said

Sophie chuckled and said, "And how would an eternal bachelor like you know?"

"If you don't believe me, ask Colby; guys know each other best."
