Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
CHAPTER 806

Chapter 806

The crowd turned their heads towards the voice, and when they saw James walking in, the room fell silent.

Who didn’t know that Sophie used to be James‘ wife? Their recent divorce only made people more curious about why he was here today. Was he here to cause trouble?

On one side, you had Colby, and on the other, James–both were big shots in Devonport, not people you’d want to mess with.

Adler was the first to freak out, “Why is James here? Where is the security? He should’ve stopped him!”

Adler was about to rush over, but before he could, James‘ crew had already barged in, blocking the guests from both sides.

With a frown, Sophie said, “James, this is the Aldridge family’s event, not a stage for the Burke family! Are you here to pick a fight with the five families?”

Even though James had been the top dog in Devonport for years, he wouldn’t

stand a chance if the five families teamed up against him.

James just gave the guests a quick look and said coolly, “You went to the Minton family first, starting this mess. So why can’t I be here?”

“James, don’t get too full of yourself!”

Adler kicked one of the Burke family’s bodyguards out of the way and stepped forward. Jenna, worried Adler might cause a scene, quickly followed and stood by his side.

“James, don’t think you are all that. The only reason we haven’t gone up against you is ‘cause we chose not to! Today is my friend’s engagement party. If you want to cause trouble, you better get my okay first!”

Jenna stepped up too. “James, even though the Dennis family isn’t one of the big four, we’re still part of the Costello family and pretty influential in Devonport. By crashing my brother’s engagement party, you’ve made an enemy of us! If you’re smart, you’ll take your people and leave now.”

“In Devonport, when the Burke family speaks, no one dares to ignore it,”

James said, scanning the room. “We’ve now teamed up with the Minton family. Those of you who came from the Minton family, I’m giving you a chance to leave now. In the future, the Burke family will treat you with respect.

But if you stay, from this moment on, you’re our enemy.”

James‘ words left everyone looking at each other, unsure of what to do.

The five major families in Devonport were a big deal, and so was James. What a tough spot to be in!

“Maybe we should leave. Everyone knows the Burke family runs Devonport.”

“Yeah, if we stay, we’ll never have a chance to work with the Burke family again!”

“S Corporation and the five major families are strong, but even they wouldn’t want to cross James. We’d be in big trouble if we pick the wrong side!”

For a moment, the guests were all second–guessing their choices. Leaving now would be a slap in the face to the five families. But staying meant getting on the wrong side of the Burke family!

At this tense moment, all eyes turned to Colby, hoping he’d come up with a solution. The tension kept rising until Colby slowly walked over to Sophie.

“Colby…”

Just as Sophie was about to think of a way out, Colby pulled her behind him, took an unopened lollipop from his pocket, unwrapped it, and popped it into his mouth.
