When Perry remain silent, James already had his answer.

"So it's really Colby."

Colby had caused a scandal at the Russell family estate twice for Sophie. If there was truly nothing between these two, Perry wouldn't have stayed quiet.

"Tell Sophie I don't agree to the divorce, and she should stop thinking about it!" James turned and left the Russell estate.

Perry wiped off a bead of sweat and hurriedly contacted Sophie.

Meanwhile, Sophie darkened upon answering the phone. "Alright, I got it."

Jenna, groggy with sleep, asked, "Who is it at this late hour?"

Sophie hung up the phone and said coldly, "It seems we need to move our plans up."

"Huh?"

The next afternoon, in the offices of S Corporation.

Sophie stared at the badge collected from the masquerade ball and said, "Have you settled everything?"

Tricia replied, "All set. We know exactly who attended the ball and their identities."

"Good, compile this information and indirectly leak it to James."

"Yes, Ms. Sophie."

Once Tricia left, Jenna asked in confusion, "Aren't masquerade balls supposed to be anonymous? How do you know who attended?"

"This badge serves as an invitation," Sophie explained with a smile. "When I mailed them out, I embedded a chip in each one. For instance, James' had his name embedded. After collecting them, we just uploaded the chip's data into a computer and found out who attended our ball."

"The attendees at the ball were essentially opposing James. He can't stand betrayal. The day before, James had all the enterprises supporting the Burke family attend their banquet. What do you think he'd do with those who attended S Corporation's ball the next day?"

"I see now." Jenna had her realization.

"I'm curious to see how those enterprises excluded by the Burke family will now come to us."

That afternoon, Colt rushed into James' room, declaring, "Mr. Burke, I've completed the investigation. Here are the enterprises that attended S Corporation's ball last night!"

The list in the file showed many had attended the Burke International dinner just the day before.

James frowned deeply. "Cut ties with these enterprises."

Colt gasped, "Mr. Burke! Cutting all ties is a drastic step!"

James' expression darkened. "I want them to know that betraying me comes with severe consequences. If any more ally with S Corporation, they'll forever lose Burke International as a support." The next day, Sophie went to intern at Palm's Jewels as usual.

Inside Palm's Jewels, gossip was swirling.

"Did you hear? Burke International cut ties with several former business partners today!"

"Of course, I heard it was over twenty!"

"Good thing Palm's Jewels didn't attend. What was S Corporation thinking?"

"Right, it's just a small company, and they think they can compete with Burke International with a bit of cunning. Just wait, S Corporation is definitely doomed!"

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Sophie! Alexis is calling for you!"
