Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 657

"Ms. Sophie, is that a sneer?"

At that moment, Nichole's untimely retort completely shattered the illusion, indirectly admitting that Bea had indeed been bragging.

As expected, Bea's expression turned even more sour.

Sophie feigned confusion and asked, "Ms. Rowena, I was genuinely complimenting Bea just now. Why would you think I was being sarcastic?"

"Because you..."

The words were on the tip of Nichole's tongue when she realized she had misspoken. When she looked at Bea again, she saw Bea's face darken.

"Grandma... I didn't mean..."

"Silence!" Bea glared at Nichole.

Some people just couldn't hide their true nature! Even with all the training, they were still foolish at heart.

She did not even know what should and should not be said at times like this!

Sophie's smile seemed particularly mocking in Bea's eyes.

Bea took a deep breath and turned to James. "James! Let's go!"

James didn't dare to defy Bea and prepared to leave with her after giving Sophie a cold look.

However, Colby's people had already surrounded them, making it impossible to leave.

Bea turned and glared at Colby. "Colby, what is the meaning of this?"

"My fiancée was insulted by your future granddaughter-in-law. I must insist that she apologizes to my fiancée. When she bows and apologizes, then you may leave." Colby's words were outrageously arrogant, and James' gaze turned even colder. "Colby, don't go too far!"

"James..."

Nichole clung tightly to James' sleeve, biting her lip and making herself look all the more pitiable. Realizing that the group had no intention of letting them go, the ladies nearby started to panic.

"Bea, you need to have your granddaughter-in-law apologize, or we'll all be stuck here!"

"You know the influence of the Costello family, Bea. If she doesn't apologize, we'll never hear the end of it!" "Exactly. Since Ms. Rowena was the one who spoke out of turn, it's only right for her to apologize."

Under the urging of the ladies, Bea glared at Nichole. "Since you were the one who spoke out of turn, naturally, you should apologize. Go on, say you're sorry to Ms. Sophie."

"Grandma!"

Nichole couldn't believe Bea's reaction, but Bea showed no signs of relenting. She coldly said, "Are you going to make us all wait here for your apology?" "Grandma, it wasn't Nichole's fault..."

"Silence!" Bea glared at James. "You are the head of the Burke family! You must act appropriately. When your fiancée is in the wrong, you can't just blindly defend her. What would people think?"

After being scolded by Bea, James could only stand still.

Bea gave Nichole a cold look. "Well? Are you going to apologize, or do I have to make you?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes,

Nichole felt utterly humiliated. Biting

her lip, she finally approached

Sophie and bowed deeply. "MS. Sophie, I was rude earlier. I hope you can forgive me. I'm very sorry."
