Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 575

William had lost all night and was down to his very last dime. The living room was occasionally filled with William and Adler's bickering noise.

Inside the house, Sophie turned on the TV, only to replace that the late-night shows were all buzzing with rumors of her and James' marital troubles. A blurred photo of Colby was magnified and tagged with the label "Modern-Day Casanova."

It was supposed to be a serious matter, but when Sophie saw the words "Modern-Day Casanova," she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Colby raised an eyebrow and asked, "You replace this funny?"

"Isn't it? The Modern-Day Casanova." Sophie laughed so hard she clutched her stomach. "The usually decisive Colby, standing shoulder to shoulder with James as the top boss of Devonport, has his day being dubbed a boy toy."

Colby tapped Sophie's forehead lightly, chiding, "You heartless little thing." His tone was filled with indulgence.

"Are you calling me heartless? I haven't even asked who let you come to the island. You put lobsters and crabs on me and James' fishing net, right?"

She found it odd at the time but chalked it up to being part of the show's setup, never suspecting Colby.

Now, it was clear that Colby had been anxious about her spending time alone with James, which is why he hurried over.

Colby chuckled, "I was worried you wouldn't eat well."

"It wasn't because you didn't want me doing tasks with James?"

"You know the answer."

Colby was clearly upset, but in the next second, he pulled out a new smartphone from his pocket. Sophie held the phone in her hand and asked, "Did you come all this way just to bring me a phone?" "It was a sudden incident. Adler bought it on short notice. Your previous phone was broken."

Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Perfect, I just threw away a SIM card."

These days, fans were impressive, but nobody would go out of their way to dig up Sophie's phone number. However, her number was being circulated online, so it was clearly leaked on purpose. Sophie was well aware of this. Initially, she didn't want to cause too much trouble for Bea. Despite her moral shortcomings, respecting the elderly was important to Sophie.

But now Bea had gone this far, and if Sophie didn't retaliate, she would be letting herself be bullied.

Sophie said, "Now that James is not at Burke International, Bea has taken complete control. Colt mentioned seeing Nichole warming up to Bea. There must be something going on behind the scenes." "I've already sent someone to investigate."

Sophie spoke seriously, "I had some executives who work with S Corporation reach out to Ricardo and even handed him a few profitable projects. Ricardo should trust those executives by now. Considering his personality, he's likely to strike at Julian and S Corporation while both James and I are away this month."

"Your guess is spot on."

Sophie asked, "So, can we close the net now?"

"We have got everything ready for a while in Bloomsbury, just waiting for your signal. This time, Ricardo is likely to lose everything."

At that moment, William's voice came from outside. "Cheater! You must have cheated!"

Sophie and Colby looked at each other and smiled.

Meanwhile, Solana left the island dejectedly. Upon reaching the Burke family, she carefully massaged Bea's shoulders, saying, "Aunt Bea, I really can't be blamed for this. If anyone's to blame, it's Sophie, that little slut. I don't know what kind of spell she's cast on James, but he's so protective of her! I'm his aunt. Even if he doesn't respect me, he should at least respect you!"
