Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
âMr. Burke, everything has been taken care of.â
âWhat about the investigation I asked you to conduct?â
âMrs. Burke visited the Russell family today, and it seems something went wrong at their dinner party, causing the Russells to leave early. Later, someone saw Colby making a scene there and taking away Perry's brother-in-law, Sam.â
âThe CEO of the Fisher Group?â
âYes.â
Colt said, âJessica approached us for a partnership recently, and considering our connections with the Russell family, we even offered her a project.â
James remained silent.
âMr. Burke,â Colt hesitated, then added, âI heard itâs not the first time Colby has caused trouble at the Russell familyâs place.â
âWhat do you mean, not the first time?â James frowned.
Colt explained, âThe last time Colby caused a stir there was about three months ago, right after Mrs. Burke had a car accident.â
âWasnât the accident just that, an accident?â
âItâs said it wasnât an accident. It was Perryâs son who orchestrated it, probably as a hit. Colby was likely trying to seek justice for Mrs. Burke, so he stormed the Russell familyâs home.â
Jamesâ brow furrowed deeper. He had never known any of this, and Sophie had never mentioned a word!
James clenched his fists. âDrive me to the Russell familyâs house now!â
âRight away!â
It was late at night. Perry heard some noise outside, quickly got dressed, and went out, only to find James sitting leisurely yet coldly on the living room sofa.
Perryâs heart skipped a beat. He remembered Sophie's recent talks of divorce, mostly because of Jamesâ alleged affairs. He approached James, his voice slightly strained. âMr. Burke, what brings you here so late at night?â

ï¤Chapter 198 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)
ï¤Chapter 784 âSomething happened when Sophie returned from the dinner party today. I came to ask you what exactly occurred.â Jamesâ tone was neutral.
Perry was surprised that James had come concerning Sophie. He replied, âColby already came by today, and we resolved the situation. Why are you only showing up now? You're supposed to be Sophie's husband.â
Perry mentioned Colby, and a flash of murderous intent crossed Jamesâ eyes.
Perry couldnât really offend James, so he only spoke irritably, âIt was my reckless wife. She conspired with Sam to drug Sophie...â
âWhat did you say?â A dangerous aura enveloped James. âYouâre saying Sam drugged Sophie?â
Knowing he was at fault, Perry felt somewhat guilty as he explained, âColby has already taken him away. Mr. Burke. If you want justice for Sophie, you might have to confront Colby!â
Jamesâ fists tightened, and his expression darkened.
âBesides, you two are nearly divorced anyway. Sophieâs affairs shouldnât concern you much now!â Perry gained some courage in front of James.
James frowned, âDivorce? Who told you that?â
âIt came from Sophie herself. Since thereâs no love left, thereâs no point in dragging this out. Sophie has met someone better, and Mr. Burke, youâve taken a liking to someone else, too. Itâs time to let each other go.â
âBang!â
James suddenly stood, slamming his hand on the table, startling Perry. His expression was ominously stern. âSomeone better? Is that Colby?â
Perry involuntarily swallowed, too scared to respond. After all, crushing the Russell family now would be as simple as lifting a finger for James.
