Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 161

Sophie pushed herself off the couch with a look in her eyes that mocked James. "I've told you what you wanted to know. Can I leave now?"

"Stop right there." James grabbed Sophie's wrist. "Where do you think you're going? Still want to see Colby?"

"Let go!" Sophie wrenched her hand free and said coldly, "Who I see is my business, not yours."

"But you are my wife." James stepped closer, adjusting his tie. "Didn't you use to love being with me? Wanted to be together? Well, now I'm making it happen. You're not going anywhere near Colby." Sophie was taken aback. "James! Have you lost your mind?"

"I must have. Only a madman would let you go off like that for so long." James gripped Sophie's wrist tighter, pinning her to the couch, his eyes filled with possessiveness. "Tonight, you're not leaving the Burke estate."

"James! Let go!"

Sophie's struggle only fueled James' anger more.

"Let go? Didn't you use to want this?"

James ripped open Sophie's dress, exposing her shoulder. The hint of cleavage drove him even more wild. A fire was burning in James, and he gripped Sophie's chin, leaning down.

The next second, a sharp slap rang out.

"Don't touch me!" Disgust was clear in Sophie's eyes.

That slap brought James back to some senses. Even when Sophie used to dislike him, he had never seen such revulsion in her eyes, as if he were nothing but trash in her sight. That feeling made him feel suffocated.

James' voice regained some calm but was hoarse, "Are you rejecting me because of Colby?" Sophie, hearing this, couldn't help but scoff. "James, don't make me lose respect for you."

She coldly glanced at James before turning and heading upstairs.

James, seemingly exhausted, leaned against the couch, more tired than ever. He dialed Colt's number, speaking wearily, "Gather all the information on Blake by tomorrow morning." "Mr. Burke, I've already started investigating Blake, but this person's background is a mystery. Even our network hasn't found anything on him."

"Then contact his company. Is it called S? I want a meeting."

"Yes, Mr. Burke."

After hanging up, James rubbed his temples. Lately, he couldn't concentrate on work. Did Sophie despise him so much that even a touch disgusted her?

The next morning, Sophie received a message from Colby. [The CEO of Burke International wanted a meeting with the CEO of S Corporation.]

Meeting him was out of the question.

Sophie promptly replied to Colby:[ Decline.]
