Chapter 92
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
In the midst of their standoff, Colt came through the door and quickly whispered something into James' ear. The expression on Jamesâ face turned sour instantly. âLetâs go!â
âYes, Mr. Burke.â
Colt followed behind James, casting a helpless and worried glance back at Sophie.
Sophie frowned and said, âColby, stay out of this.â
She knew something must have happened with Nichole; otherwise, James wouldnât have hurried off so abruptly.
With Nichole in trouble, things could really turn sour between her and James.
She didnât want Colby to get involved. After all, he had nothing to do with this mess.
Colby responded firmly, âHe wouldnât dare do anything to you.â
âExactly! What right does he have? Stirring up trouble over a mistress like itâs some grand affair. Does he really think she can run things in Devonport all by herself?â Jenna was indignant.
Sophie replied, âToday was supposed to be a grand opening of your new building project, and itâs turned into such a mess. Jenna, Iâm really sorry.â
âItâs not your fault, itâs all James!â Jenna exclaimed, âI think with this mess, you might as well divorce him. A man like that isnât worth keeping.â
Sophie shook her head. They couldnât divorce just yet.
She believed that even though James was furious now because Nichole had been in an accident, he wouldnât divorce her in a fit of anger. The Russell family still held value for the Burkes. James wouldnât risk losing more than he could gain, nor would he let her go easily.
âIâll go to the hospital to check on her. You guys handle things here.â
After James sent away many of the guests, Jenna likely had lots of follow-up tasks to handle.
Colby grabbed Sophieâs wrist, stopping her from leaving alone. âIâll come with you.â
Sophie pulled her hand away, saying, âI can manage on my own.â
Jenna pulled Colby back, and shook her head at him.

ï¤Chapter 784 Whispers of Destiny: His Belated Love ï¤Chapter 153 Once Sophie had left, Jenna spoke, âAt the end of the day, theyâre still married. What right do you have to protect Sophie?â
Colby pursed his lips.
Jenna continued, âI think Sophie doesnât like James either. If James really does something drastic for that mistress, letâs be the first to step in and give that scumbag a lesson.â
âYes! Iâm all for that!â Adler chimed in from the side.
Colbyâs brow was furrowed, his eyes fixed on Sophieâs departing figure.
At the hospital, James stood guard outside Nicholeâs room, not leaving for even a moment.
