Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 66

This was indeed fantastic news, one that had already started making rounds among those in real estate.

James furrowed his brow. He hadn't been in touch with Sophie since this morning.

"Vincent, let's just have a drink." Nichole knew that at this moment, James was thinking about Sophie. Suppressing her feelings, she reluctantly poured him a drink.

However, James stood up abruptly and left the private room without looking back.

"Hey? Mr. Burke!"

The room fell into disarray, and Nichole's expression turned particularly sour.

How could that piece of land have been rezoned into a park?!

In the restroom, Sophie had just washed her hands when she noticed her phone buzzing non-stop on the counter. Seeing it was James calling, she answered, "What's up?" "Where are you?" James' tone wasn't very friendly.

Sophie, clueless about what had upset him this time, replied, "I'm out dining with friends, can we talk when I get home tonight?"

Just then, a delicate voice from Nichole came through the phone, "James, come back soon, everyone is waiting for you."

Hearing this, Sophie hung up without another word. He was out with his mistress, and still had the guts to demand her location?

Sophie pocketed her phone and exited the restroom.

Nichole was about to close the door of the private room when she looked up and saw Sophie emerging from the restroom. A flash of surprise crossed her face, and she instinctively shut the door. "Nichole, come here."

Nichole turned around. Noticing that James hadn't noticed Sophie outside, she said, "Mr. Burke, I need some fresh air."

"Go ahead."

James' tone was relatively mild.

The people around looked at each other. Nichole wasn't new to such gatherings with James. In their circles, men wouldn't bring their wives to drinking sessions, always appearing with female companions instead. And the nature of these companions was an open secret.

Unnoticed, Nichole followed the path Sophie had taken earlier.

She had only walked a short distance when she heard the voices of a man and a woman chatting.

"I must say, you have an exquisite taste. I'm truly impressed. Let's celebrate!"

Adler raised his glass. Sophie joined in the toast.

Since the door was left open for the server, Nichole saw Sophie and Colby sitting close together, with Colby taking the opportunity to serve Sophie some food as she raised her glass. What was Sophie's relationship with Colby and Adler?

"Miss, are you looking for the restroom? It's over there," a server suddenly spoke up from behind, startling Nichole and drawing Sophie's attention inside the room.

Sophie turned around and caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, but quickly, that figure darted away.

"Someone outside?" Colby asked.

Adler looked around, "No one's there."

Sophie frowned, "I think I just saw Nichole."

Seeing Nichole meant James was also here. Could it be that James and Nichole were in that private room just now?

"I'll go check."

Adler was about to stand up, but Sophie stopped him, "Don't, it's better not to be spotted. Let me think."
