Reece noticed Sophie's hesitation and said, "Don't worry, I checked there are no cameras around."

Sophie frowned and asked, "Don't you have a photo shoot today?"

"It's all done. But I'll be around frequently these next few days for some ads."

"Then you better get going. I've got things to do as well."

As Sophie was about to leave, Reece stopped her and handed her a takeaway box he was holding, stating, "Grandma made this."

"For me?"

Reece added, "Yes, Grandma made it especially for you." Ever since Sophie's last visit to Reece's home, his grandmother had taken a particular liking to her.

Sophie reluctantly accepted it. After all, it was a kind gesture from an elderly lady. "Please thank your grandma for me."

As Sophie was leaving, she patted Reece on the shoulder. "Do well! The sky's the limit."

Reece watched Sophie walk away, lost in thought.

'The sky's the limit, huh?'

Now, he began to entertain some wild hopes.

In the evening, James personally came to the police station. Nichole looked dazed as she walked out. Though she had only spent two days in detention, those days had been incredibly tough for her. Some of Gordon's men had intentionally committed minor offenses just to get into the same room as her, tormenting her every day. If she was detained any longer, she feared she might lose her mind! When Nichole spotted James standing in front of the car, she couldn't hold back her emotions. She rushed into his arms, crying out, "James!"

Nichole burst into tears. These past few days had truly terrified her!

James didn't embrace Nichole back but gently pushed her away, his expression distant.

"James?" Nichole paused, not understanding James' cold demeanor.

James said, "Getting you out was something Gordon and I arranged for a hefty sum."

Nichole bit her lip. "I'm sorry, James. I won't do it again. I was just too scared this time..."

"Whatever happens next has nothing to do with me."

"What?!" Nichole stared at James in disbelief.

After a moment, she calmed down and said urgently, "James, did Sophie say something to you? Please, I didn't mean to forgive me, will you?"

"It has nothing to do with Sophie. The company will still support your education until you graduate, but beyond that, I won't meet with you privately or take you to any events, and I won't have your contact information." James' voice was icy cold.

Nichole felt as if the sky was falling. "James, what did I do wrong? Just tell me, I can change!"

James interrupted what Nichole was about to say next, his voice cold, "That night at the dinner, what were you really trying to do when you asked me to come upstairs? Do you really think I don't know?" Nichole was speechless.

James continued, "I only have one wife, Sophie. That was true in the past, is true now, and will still be true in the future."
