“Yes, Mrs Burke No, Ms. Sophie
Sophie led her crew out of the Burke Estate
Nichole tried to scream, but one of Sophie’s people clamped a hand over her
Bea was in a full–blown panic as they reached the main gate. Just then, another group stormed in.
James stepped out of the car, his expression as cold as ice.
Spotting James, Pea and Nichole lit up like they’d seen a guardian angel.
Nichole bit down hard on the bodyguard’s hand. He yelped in pain and let go. “Jerest James, save met” she shouted,
“James, get this lunetic out of here! Hurry!”
Bea struggled against her captors,
Sophie just frowned. After James had dropped her off at the yacht that night, he’d returned to Summerfield alone. She genuinely didn’t expect him to come back alive,
“James, your grandmother hired a hitman to kill me. The evidence is solid. Nichole attempted murder and impersonated someone else. You know it. Are you really going to try and take them back?”
“Name your price, James said coolly. “As long as I can afford it, I’ll give it to your
Sophie let out a bitter laugh. “I want the entire Burke Estate in exchange for your grandmother not rotting in jail. Are you willing to pay that?”
/es”
James didn’t even hesitate. Bea had raised him for years, and it was thanks to her that he now controlled Burke International and became the man he was. He couldn’t just abandon her.
“You just give it to me like that? Do you even understand what you’re saying?”
“Of course, I do.”
Sensing James‘ resolve, Bea screamed, “James! You can’t give it to her! I’d rather go to jail than see you hand over Burke International!”
Bea turned to Sophie and yelled, “Sophie, I hired the hitman! But you’re standing here in one piece! At most, I’m guilty of attempted murder! Even if I go to jail, the Burke family won’t let you off!”
Sophie’s expression turned icy. “Are you all deaf? Gag her!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
A bodyguard stuffed a towel into Bea’s mouth.
The rough treatment made James frown. “Sophie, I’ve given you what you wanted. Now let them go!”
“Fine, the whole Burke Estate for Bea. But about Nichole’s debt, you’ll have to
talk to Ms. Rowena.”
James glanced at Rowena. “Ms. Rowena, you saw at the last dinner that your father, Mr. Briggs, won’t recognize you. Killing Nichole won’t help. But I can make you the legitimate daughter of the Freeman family.”
Rowena’s eyes widened. She was tired of her tough life and didn’t want to keep struggling after killing Nichole. If James could really make her the Freeman family’s heiress, she’d have no reason to harm Nichole.
After a moment’s thought, Rowena nodded. “Alright, I agree.”
With both sides in agreement, James signaled to Colt, who quickly moved to
untie Bea and Nichole.
James turned to Sophie, his dark eyes filled with an unreadable emotion. “Give me three months. After that, everything in the Burke Estate will be yours.”
