Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 92

In the midst of their standoff, Colt came through the door and quickly whispered something into James' ear. The expression on James' face turned sour instantly. "Let's go!" "Yes, Mr. Burke."

Colt followed behind James, casting a helpless and worried glance back at Sophie.

Sophie frowned and said, "Colby, stay out of this."

She knew something must have happened with Nichole; otherwise, James wouldn't have hurried off so abruptly.

With Nichole in trouble, things could really turn sour between her and James.

She didn't want Colby to get involved. After all, he had nothing to do with this mess.

Colby responded firmly, "He wouldn't dare do anything to you."

"Exactly! What right does he have? Stirring up trouble over a mistress like it's some grand affair. Does he really think she can run things in Devonport all by herself?" Jenna was indignant.

Sophie replied, "Today was supposed to be a grand opening of your new building project, and it's turned into such a mess. Jenna, I'm really sorry."

"It's not your fault, it's all James!" Jenna exclaimed, "I think with this mess, you might as well divorce him. A man like that isn't worth keeping."

Sophie shook her head. They couldn't divorce just yet.

She believed that even though James was furious now because Nichole had been in an accident, he wouldn't divorce her in a fit of anger. The Russell family still held value for the Burkes. James wouldn't risk losing more than he could gain, nor would he let her go easily.

"I'll go to the hospital to check on her. You guys handle things here."

After James sent away many of the guests, Jenna likely had lots of follow-up tasks to handle.

Colby grabbed Sophie's wrist, stopping her from leaving alone. "I'll come with you."

Sophie pulled her hand away, saying, "I can manage on my own."

Jenna pulled Colby back, and shook her head at him.

Once Sophie had left, Jenna spoke, "At the end of the day, they're still married. What right do you have to protect Sophie?"

Colby pursed his lips.

Jenna continued, "I think Sophie doesn't like James either. If James really does something drastic for that mistress, let's be the first to step in and give that scumbag a lesson."

"Yes! I'm all for that!" Adler chimed in from the side.

Colby's brow was furrowed, his eyes fixed on Sophie's departing figure.

At the hospital, James stood guard outside Nichole's room, not leaving for even a moment.
