Chapter 106

Sophie finally received a call from Bea.

Bea had Colt drive over to pick Sophie up, and she , going with the flow, got into the car.

As soon as she was inside, Colt couldn't help but say, “Ma'am, just soften your words a bit. Mr. Burke won’t divorce you."

Sophie closed her eyes and asked, “When did Bea go to our house?”

“In the afternoon.”

Just as Sophie had guessed. Bea must have gone in the afternoon, stirred things up, and then called Sophie to come back when things had calmed down.

Bea was always authoritative, brooking no dissent. By this time, she must have already sent Nichole away.

The car stopped outside the Burke family’s mansion, and the grand doors were wide open. Sophie walked in, where Marian stood respectfully aside, and Bea was sitting on the couch.

Only then did Sophie notice James kneeling on the floor, with no sign of Nichole left in the room.

Bea coldly asked, “Is everything packed?”

“Yes, ma’am,” Marian replied, pushing a suitcase forward. “These all belong to Ms. Nichole.”

Bea inquired, “Colt, how much of this was bought with James’ money?”

Colt tremulously stepped forward and said, “Mr. Burke has always covered Ms. Nicholes living expenses, so...”

Bea scoffed, “So you mean to say my grandson bought all these for her?”

Colt didn’t answer.

Bea then ordered Marian, “Throw them all out! Tell the dean that, from today onwards, our family will have nothing to do with Nichole. She's an adult now and doesn’t need our help.”

“Grandma!” James frowned, “Nichole is just a girl from a poor family. The tuition at Eastwood College is so high. How could she possibly earn enough to pay it?”

If she can’t even manage that, all the years you spent nurturing her would be wasted!” Bea coldly continued, “Moreover, hasn’t the Burke family invested enough in her over the years? If she can’t prove her worth, the Burke family won’t support someone who just freeloads.”

Then, Bea looked at Sophie, her expression softening slightly. “Sophie, come here, sit next to me.”

Sophie, with downcast eyes, sat beside Bea.

Bea patted Sophie’s hand and said, “I know you felt hurt this time, but divorce is a serious matter. For the sake of our families’ relations, we shouldn’t speak of divorce lightly. Today, I’ll have James apologize to you, and I promise, nothing like this will happen again.”

Sophie glanced at James, who showed no sign of intending to apologize.

She slowly said, “Grandma, matters of the heart cannot be forced. Since James loves Nichole, a divorce might be the best choice for both of us.”

“Nonsense, how could anyone from the Burke family ever marry a poor student?”

After saying this, Bea glared at James. “Aren’t you going to apologize to Sophie right now?”

James' brows tightly furrowed, and he remained silent.

Sophie sighed, “Grandma, don’t be hard on James. If he doesn’t want to apologize, let it be.”

At this, Bea grew even angrier, snatching a cane from the table and lashing it across James’ back.
