Chapter 1204
Upon hearing this, Sophie could barely contain her excitement. She exclaimed, "If everything you're saying is true, then we're not the only ones who've been reborn?"
"I... I'm not sure," Elodie replied, her brows furrowing in thought. "I've often wondered about the reason behind my rebirth. I always felt it was a divine gift, a way for the universe to make up for my regrets. But there are so many regrets in this world-why were mine specifically addressed? Then, someone approached me for collaboration." "The mastermind behind the scenes?"
Elodie nodded earnestly. "He is like the hand of God, controlling everyone's fate. He told me himself that I was chosen by him, which is why he could make me be reborn. And he did help me a lot. From getting me the actual control of the Reeves family to eventually establishing Reeves Entertainment-everything I know, he taught me."
Sophie frowned. "So, the rapid rise of Reeves International over the years wasn't just because of you, but because of this person coaching you?"
"Not entirely," Elodie said thoughtfully. "He taught me a lot, yes. But it was only after being reborn that I realized the importance of learning. I threw myself into studying things I never bothered with before. That's how I managed to finally secure my footing in Harbor City." Elodie leaned in closer. "I called you here alone because I knew others wouldn't believe what I have to say, but you would, because we're the same."
"If we're the same, why didn't you tell me when we first met?" Sophie asked, a hint of frustration in her voice.
"I couldn't be sure," Elodie
confessed. "Rebirth is such a wild concept; anyone hearing about it might think I'm crazy. I just remembered that in my previous life, you died in childbirth, but in this life, you married someone else, wasn't sure if my rebirth had altered the world's course, so I was still observing."
"Alright, let's say I believe everything you've told me," Sophie said, trying to piece it all together. "What does this person behind the scenes ultimately want by using you?"
"The Devonport treasure," Elodie
said, her voice serious. "There really is a treasure in Devonport, hidden by the four great families. It's rumored to be the wealth left behind by a royal family fleeing during wartime. The hidden gold and silver could fill mountains and seas. For centuries, everyone has been eyeing this land, all because they wanted to find those treasures."
"But haven't they failed to find it all these years?" Sophie asked, skeptical.
Elodie shook her head. "All I know is that person has been searching for this treasure for a very long time."
Sophie, sensing a contradiction,
pressed on. "You said this personContent from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
has the power to let people be reborn. Someone with that kind of power, along with countless wealth and status, still wants this so-called Devonport treasure? Ms. Elodie, doesn't that sound a bit absurd to you?"
