Chapter 33

Sophie glanced at James’ phone.

James didn’t answer it immediately. Instead, he hung up.

Bea said coldly, “If you two don’t hurry up and give me a grandson, I’m going to take drastic measures.”

James remained silent. Bea's desire for a grandson wasn't new.

After Bea left, Sophie finally spoke, “Did you get through to the school office?”

“Yes.” James replied succinctly.

Sophie said, “You told the school office not to pull any strings for me, right?”

“What? Are you asking me now to pull some strings for you to get into Eastwood College?”

James scoffed, staring at Sophie with a bit more disdain, “Even if I did pull strings to get you into Eastwood College, you wouldn’t be able to graduate.”

“I just hope you won’t interfere unnecessarily. If I do get into Eastwood College and you have the principal take my name off the list, don’t blame me for turning against you.”

Sophie’s tone was just as unfriendly, and James narrowed his eyes slightly. This woman was becoming bolder with him.

*Ding Ding—*

James’ phone rang again. Impatiently, he answered, “Speak.”

“Mr. Burke, your wife’s results are out.”

Listening to the somewhat troubled voice from the school office over the phone, James frowned, “I understand.”

Sophie, sitting across from James, could tell from his expression that the school office had somehow pre-judged her exam papers.

“Sophie, I really didn’t expect you to cheat on the Eastwood College exam.”

“I passed, didn’t I?” Sophie ignored James’ words. From James’ expression, she could tell she had passed the threshold.

Chapter 32 Falling For My Contractual Wife (Brian and Grace)

Chapter 784 “James, since I passed, you shouldn’t care how I did it. Outwardly, I can play the part of the perfect wife for you, but privately, you shouldn’t think about interfering with what I want to do.” Sophie was firm.

James said, “You can do what you want, but before that, you'd better handle your grandma. If she finds out you went to Eastwood College, I can’t protect you.”

“It’s okay, we can always get a divorce.”

Sophie mentioned divorce casually, deepening the furrow in James’ brow. Lately, Sophie seemed to bring up divorce at every turn.

However, the collaboration project between the Russell family and the Burke family was still ongoing, making divorce practically impossible.

James said coldly, “Don’t use divorce to threaten me.”

Sophie said nothing. At this critical moment, James was unlikely to divorce her. Even the elders of the Russell family would never allow her and James to split.

The Russell family, though still somewhat influential and prestigious, was essentially a shell of its former self and was on the brink of falling apart.

Without the support of the Burke family, the Russell family would only crumble faster.

Conversely, the Burke family currently needed the Russell family's connections and projects.

Neither family could afford to break ties just yet. No wonder James felt threatened.

“So, for the sake of our pleasant collaboration, I’d appreciate it if you keep this from your grandma. Definitely don’t let her catch wind of it, otherwise, we’ll have no choice but to divorce.”

Sophie smiled sweetly at James.
