"Burke Enterprises' CEO and Ms. Rowena are set to be engaged, having already met each other's parents..."

"Burke Enterprises' CEO..."

Every channel on the TV was broadcasting news about James and Nichole, and upon seeing this, Bea angrily threw the remote onto the floor.

"Ridiculous!"

Bea's face was extremely unsightly.

Marian quickly picked up the remote from the floor, saying, "Madam, please don't be angry..."

"How can I possibly not be angry? Has James lost his mind? How dare he get engaged to someone like Nichole! She's the one who caused the death of my great-grandchild! Such an evil woman! We cannot accept her into the Burke family!"

Bea hadn't gotten over the loss of her great-grandchild. She had waited so long and finally got a great-grandchild, only for that woman, Nichole, to have caused its demise.

"Madam..."

"Go, call James over for me! Hurry!"

Marian was angered and immediately tried to contact Colt, but before the call even went through, James had already walked in.

Bea immediately went up and slapped him. "Dumbass! Why did you get engaged to that girl behind my back!"

"Grandma, isn't my engagement to Nichole what you hoped for?"

"You... that's because she was carrying a Burke family child in her womb! That's why I allowed you to marry her! Otherwise, would I let such a woman enter the Burke family's door?"

Bea's face turned colder. She said, "James, how could you make such a mistake as the head of the Burke family? You go right now and hold a press conference! She must not enter the Burke family!"

"Grandma, you've always wanted me to divorce Sophie, and now I can do it. You wanted me to marry Nichole, and I agreed. What's there to be dissatisfied about now?"

"At least Sophie did not cause the death of my great-grandchild! But Nichole, she was even willing to harm her own child! Not letting her go to prison is already merciful enough! And you bailed her out! James, how can you be so foolish! I've raised you all these years. Why won't you listen to me!"

Bea was heartbroken, but James remained calm, just quietly looking at Bea and not saying a word.

Marian stepped forward, saying, "Sir, you know about Ms. Nichole's character, now she even harmed her own child... How could you..."

James coldly said, "I've made my decision to take responsibility for Nichole. I'll give her the position of Mrs. Burke, get engaged to her, and take care of her for life."

James had upset Bea so much that she struggled to catch her breath. Her entire body was leaning backward and, noticing this, Marian quickly stepped in to support her. "How did the Burke family produce such a son!"

Bea scolded angrily, but James did not pay any attention and went straight upstairs.

Meanwhile, Ricardo had also seen the news on TV, his face turning extremely ugly. The next second, he kicked the table over, gritting his teeth and saying, "What's going on?"

The secretary stood by, quickly lowering his head, saying, "Mr. Ricardo, this... we're not sure about this."

"Last night, I had you guard outside Nichole's hospital room. What did you do? Did you hear any of their conversation?"

James loved Sophie so much, so how could he possibly divorce Sophie and even marry Nichole?

There must be a big problem!

"Go now and investigate this for me! See if this is true."

Ricardo's eyes looked frightening. He had gone to great lengths to come to Devonport to arrange everything and become Mr. Briggs's son-in-law in order to later control the Freeman family, spreading the Cloude family's business into Devonport. However, he didn't expect James to ruin it all.

James was actually willing to marry Nichole!

When Nichole was pregnant, James wasn't even willing to be with Nichole, but now he suddenly changed his mind. Could it also... be for Sophie?

The rumored overlord of Devonport was actually using such methods. He was willing to use marriage to give up the person he loved. Truly madness!

At this moment, Ricardo's phone rang.

The phone displayed a string of unknown numbers. Ricardo picked up, and the other end of the line transmitted James' deep voice. "Mr. Ricardo, you're welcome to challenge my position."

"James?"

"Remember, Devonport is my territory, and you have no right to touch it."

The call was suddenly hung up. Ricardo angrily threw the phone to the ground, his face grim. "James... you actually going to do this?!"

"Mr. Ricardo..."

Ricardo grabbed the secretary by the collar, angrily yelling, "Contact Nichole! Tell her to come see me immediately!"

"Mr. Ricardo, Ms. Nichole's phone has been unreachable since this morning..."

"Unreachable?" Ricardo found it laughable. "Alright, then, let's tell Mr. Briggs Nichole is not the real Rowena!"
