Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 148

The next moment, James grabbed his keys and left the hospital, his face still slightly pale. Colt followed closely behind, only to see James get into his car and speed away with a push of the accelerator. "Mr. Burke!" Colt called out from behind the car, but James showed no sign of stopping. Soon, he was out of sight.

At that time, Sophie was resting in her apartment, lying on the bed, while Adler was bustling about in the kitchen and Jenna was trying to help but mostly getting in the way. Colby simply sat on a nearby sofa, reading the newspaper.

The scene was quite cozy, and Sophie found herself longing for this kind of warmth.

In her past life, she had lost her parents early. Even when she stayed with the Perry family, everyone was always on their guard, and it had been a long time since she felt the warmth of a family. If only it could always be like this.

James drove to the outside of Sophie's apartment and dialed her phone number. There was no answer on the other end.

James' hand holding the phone turned slightly pale. He got out of his car and walked to the security office.

"Sir, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Sophie."

"Are you a friend of the resident?"

"I'm her husband."

James' voice carried a hint of restrained frustration.

The security guard stared at James somewhat blankly. He had just seen Ms. Sophie and three friends go upstairs, and he had never seen the man before him.

"Sorry, could you have the resident come down to meet you? Or maybe you could contact the resident so I can let you in."

James' expression became dangerously sharp. He pulled a business card from his pocket clearly marked with 'CEO of Burke International, James Burke.' The security guard's expression changed slightly at the card.

James' voice grew colder, "Call her now."

"Yes, of course..."

The security guard dialed the phone connected to the apartment's landline.

Meanwhile, Sophie was dozing off in bed, with Jenna and Adler bustling around in the kitchen. Suddenly, the room's landline phone rang, and Colby glanced at it. Jenna from the kitchen said, "Colby, pick up the phone. Or it'll wake Sophie up."

Colby pursed his lips, hesitating.

But the ringing was too loud, and he finally answered. "Hello? Who is this?"

Hearing Colby's steady voice, James' face turned paler and grew increasingly upset.

The security guard felt like he was on pins and needles. This was so thrilling.

"Where's Sophie?"

On the other end of the phone, Colby clearly recognized James' voice. He glanced at Sophie, who was asleep on the bed, and slightly smiled, "She's sleeping." James' temples throbbed with anger, "Let her answer the phone."

"I think Sophie wouldn't want to hear your voice right now." Colby replied slowly, his tone laced with a hint of amusement.

"Colby, Sophie is my wife. Our matters don't concern you."

James struggled to contain his anger.

Colby put down his newspaper, fiddling with a lighter beside him, nonchalantly retorting, "It's just a marriage of convenience. I intend to look after the girl I fall for thoroughly."
