Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 170

"You..." James' words were stuck halfway.

Jenna looked at James with a sneer, "How shameless."

James took a deep breath. Asking Sophie for help was out of the question, but he couldn't let Gordon just take Nichole away.

When James remained silent, Gordon couldn't help but chuckle, "Mr. Burke, have you reached a conclusion?"

"James, help!"

Nichole looked at James, her face full of terror. She knew all too well that falling into Gordon's hands would not end well!

In Devonport, everyone knew how much Gordon doted on his younger brother. To avenge Harold, Gordon would stop at nothing. Gordon twirled a ring on his finger and said indifferently, "Mr. Burke, since you remain silent, I am gonna take her away."

"Wait!" James frowned and said, "Mr. Harold, it's indeed Nichole's fault this time. If you send her to the police station, I have no objections." "James!" Nichole stared at James in shock. She never thought James would actually let the Aldridge family send her to the police station. James approached Nichole, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance, "It's not something serious. I'll have someone pick you up in a few days."

"But..."

The look on Nichole's face was one of utter distress. She knew that if she ended up in Gordon's hands, it might not just be a matter of being detained for a few days. But being sent to the police station would mark her personal record.

It'd be difficult for her to find a job in the future, and she would also face disdain from those around her.

James didn't say much, simply allowing Gordon's men to take Nichole away.

Sophie watched coldly from the sidelines. She vividly remembered how in a past life James had favored Nichole. If it were the James from before, he would have defiantly opposed Gordon. James never used to bear seeing Nichole hurt.

In this life, however, something had gone wrong. James actually compromised with Gordon.

Sophie was puzzled. Was something different with James?

If Nichole had a record, Bea would never allow her to marry into the Burke family. James should know this better than Sophie.

At that moment, Sophie looked up and caught James' gaze. His eyes held a complex mix of emotions.

"Sophie, let's go." Jenna pulled on Sophie's hand, eager to leave. Staying here even a moment longer felt disgusting to her. Gordon's voice carried a hint of cold indifference, "We should go too."

"Yes."

Several bodyguards followed behind Gordon, and Harold gave James a fierce glare before following Gordon as well. Jenna, arm in arm with Sophie, walked out of the room. She whispered to Sophie, "You've got Gordon here. There's nothing to fear." Sophie couldn't help but take another look at Gordon's retreating figure.

His silhouette was slender, and he looked paler than the last time she saw him. Perhaps this time he really did come while battling the illness.
