Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 94

Hearing James' words, Nichole stopped sobbing and instead lifted her head, her eyes pitiful as she looked at him. "So, I can really stay at the Burke residence?"

James gently ruffled Nichole's hair and said, "I'll have Lee go to your dormitory to collect your things. It's not inconvenient for you to stay at the school while you're healing. You'll stay at my home." Nichole sniffled and leaned into James' embrace, whispering, "Thank you, Mr. Burke."

Colt, standing nearby, frowned upon witnessing this scene.

As the saying goes, the onlooker sees most of the game. Others could easily tell Nichole was feigning her distress, but James seemed oblivious to any deceit.

That evening, Sophie called a moving company to remove all her possessions from the Burke residence.

By dusk, James, supporting an injured Nichole, arrived at the now sparsely furnished and somewhat desolate Burke family home. Seeing this, James felt a pang of discomfort.

Nichole asked, "Mr. Burke, where will I be staying?"

"There's a guest room upstairs."

Nichole nodded and then hesitated slightly. "My leg hurts. I can't make it up on my own."

"I'll help you," James said tenderly, his voice soft.

Nichole's heart swelled with sweetness.

Despite the perils of the recent car accident and the injury to her face, experiencing James' meticulous care felt worth it to Nichole, especially after that quarrel with Sophie.

When they reached the second floor, Nichole immediately noticed the master bedroom and asked, "Is this the master bedroom?"

Usually, it was Sophie's room. James nodded, and Nichole said, "Could I perhaps stay a bit closer to you, Mr. Burke? I worry about navigating the stairs at night if I need something." "Sure." James was accommodating to Nichole's requests as long as they weren't excessive.

Nichole cast a final greedy glance at the master bedroom. One day, she thought, she would move in here and become the true lady of the Burke family.

The next day, the grand opening of Dennis Real Estate made headlines, and the news of James causing a scene at the party had already spread far and wide.

Sophie was leisurely browsing the news on her phone, while Jenna was nearly bursting with frustration. "Damn, we've woken up to such troublesome news, and you're not even upset?" "The bigger the scandal, the less I worry," Sophie replied calmly.

"Why?" Jenna looked puzzled.

Sophie explained, "James making a scene at the party, completely disregarding everyone present, meant the news would spread quickly. Bea will hear about it soon enough."

Jenna was still confused. "So?"

"Last night, I went to the hospital and deliberately said I was moving out and asked Nichole to stay at the Burke residence to heal. Nichole would surely seize this opportunity to move into the Burke residence. Do you think Bea would let her grandson behave so recklessly?"

Jenna realized, "I see your point!"

Sophie continued, "Moreover, James is acting so rashly for Nichole. Bea will see Nichole as nothing but a burden dragging her grandson down. She'll never allow Nichole to stay by James' side."
