Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 353

"Please leave my room."

Gordon was uncompromising.

Sophie felt like a schoolgirl in front of him, the kind that couldn't lift her head because of a scolding.

Meanwhile, inside the Burke family home.

"Slap-"

Bea delivered a loud slap to Nichole's face.

Nichole covered her face, crying like a fountain.

"You stupid woman! Who allowed you to make a scene at the Diamond Crest Hotel? Do you even realize what kind of place that is? If you're going to ruin yourself, don't drag the Burke family down with you and expect us to clean up your mess!"

James sat on the sofa, silent, clearly not intending to speak up for Nichole.

"Bea, it was James who went to meet Sophie! And in a hotel of all places. How could I bear it!"

Bea scoffed coldly, "When you climbed into James' bed, do you think Sophie was able to bear it?"

Nichole's face turned sour.

Bea said coldly, "If it weren't for the fact that you're carrying a Burke family child, do you think I would let someone like you through my door?"

"Bea! I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me. James, I'm still carrying your child. I'm sorry. Can't you forgive me?"

At this moment, Nichole's pitiful appearance could not stir a single ounce of compassion in him.

James stood up, his voice cold. "I have matters to attend to. Grandma, please handle this."

Then, he got up and went upstairs.

Nichole hadn't expected James' heartlessness. Bea was even more frustrated. "Can't even keep your own man, truly useless."

Nichole collapsed to the ground, defeated.

Bea couldn't be bothered with Nichole and turned to go back inside. Marian couldn't stand Nichole and spat in her direction with even more disdain.

Nichole clenched her fists. She had fought hard for a chance to enter the Burke household and couldn't let it go just like that.

In the dead of night, Nichole quietly went upstairs.

Ever since returning to the Burke family, James had been staying in the bedroom Sophie once occupied.

Seeing James lying asleep on the bed, Nichole quietly approached and hugged him from behind.

James felt the movement behind him, immediately got up, and pushed Nichole away. In the dimly lit room, Nichole's pale face showed a hint of shame. "James, I..."

"Get out!"

James' attitude was cold, adding a layer of disgust.

Nichole bit her lip and said, "I know it was my fault, and I couldn't control myself. I'm not asking for anything else, just to give birth to your child so it can have a father."

Nichole looked down at her slightly bulging belly and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't forget Sophie. Just please give me and the child a place to belong."

"I've already allowed you into the Burke family. That's the biggest concession I've made. Don't dream of getting anything more."

"I can do without a title or recognition! But my child shouldn't have to suffer from this!" Nichole grabbed James' arm and said, "I know I've done many wrong things in the past, but I can change. Can't you give me a chance?"

James shook off Nichole's hand, his gaze as cold as ice. "Leave before I truly lose my temper!"

Suddenly, Nichole began to unbutton her dress.
