Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 177

Just after leaving the nightclub, Sophie received a call from Colt.

She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. That was quick.

Jenna asked, "Is James looking for you?"

Harold's face immediately fell. He stepped forward and snatched Sophie's phone, frowning, "Don't answer that."

"Stop it, give it to me."

As Sophie was about to take her phone back, Harold answered the call instead, "Sophie is with me. Don't call her anymore."

Sophie was stunned, and even Jenna was taken aback by his words.

Harold hung up and handed the phone back to Sophie, looking somewhat awkward. "Here."

Sophie numbly accepted the phone Harold handed to her. She had thought about how to make James believe she was at the Aldridge family celebrating Harold's birthday, but she hadn't expected Harold to tell Colt himself.

Jenna stuttered, "Aren't you afraid James will trouble you?"

"Why should I be? If anything happens, Sophie has me." Harold paused, sounding a bit guilty, "I mean, if anything happens, my brother's there. James wouldn't dare mess with him."

Seeing this, Jenna shook her head.

Men in love are so stupid. Just like her silly younger brother.

Meanwhile, Colt stared at the hung-up phone, his expression darkening.

Inside the car, James, tired, rubbed his forehead and asked, "Where is Sophie?"

"Mrs. Burke..."

"Say it."

"Sir, it was Mr. Harold who answered her phone. He said he was with her and told me not to call anymore."

James, whose eyes had been closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze sharp and dangerous, "Sophie is still at the Aldridge family?"

"Our people say that Mrs. Burke hasn't left at all. She should still be at the Aldridge family."

"A whole day? Does she plan to live there permanently?" Anger was evident in James' voice.

"Should we go to the Aldridge family and bring Mrs. Burke back?" Colt said, "There was no fault on her part at last night's dinner, it was Ms. Nichole who lied. We should probably bring Mrs. Burke back." "She's faultless? From the moment she arrived, all she did was defend Harold. She even sided with strangers against me. Does she even consider me her husband anymore? Does she even see herself as Mrs. Burke?"

Colt could not speak.

James' expression darkened as he said, "You go now and have someone bring her back. If she doesn't come back, she needn't return at all."

Colt's expression turned grim, "Mr. Burke..."

"Didn't you hear what I said?" James snapped, "If she doesn't want to be Mrs. Burke, there are plenty who do."

Colt nodded, head lowered, "Yes, I'll send someone to bring Mrs. Burke back."

At midnight, Sophie returned to the Aldridge family, changed her makeup and clothes as Harold's birthday party continued with no one having left. Jenna said, "Harold is about to cut the cake. He insists on waiting until you arrived. Let's get down."

"Alright."

Sophie and Jenna, arm in arm, headed downstairs.
