Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 202

Sophie glanced up, her face breaking into a smile. "You need to win the Oscar to bring the maximum influence to my company."

"But with the current power of Russell Entertainment, I couldn't really help you even if I did win the Oscar." Reece's voice was low. "Are you keeping something from me?"

Sophie tightened his belt one final time, causing Reece slight pain. He looked down and watched Sophie had withdrawn her hand, "Wait till you've won the Oscar, then I'll tell you."

"What's going on? Why are you so slow!" The crew member on set was pushing hard. He came over, saw Sophie, and frowned, "Can you do your job? If not, get lost!"

"Is it my fault for being slow? So, should I get lost too?"

Reece's tone was nonchalant, instantly causing the crew member to change his expression. "No, no, Mr. Reece. Let's hurry up with the photoshoot."

Reece didn't move. Instead, he stared at the crew member with a cold gaze. "You insulted her. Don't you think you owe an apology?"

The crew member hadn't expected Reece to take a stand for a junior staff member, but he couldn't afford to offend the hotshot actor of the moment, so he turned to Sophie and said, "I'm truly sorry. I was too heated just now."

"It's okay. Just be mindful next time." Sophie's demeanor was far from that of a junior employee, more like a senior executive.

The crew member was put in his place, puzzled by Reece's behavior and Sophie's status.

Meanwhile

Nichole returned to her dormitory, only to find that her roommates had banded together to ostracize her.

"Looks like someone got dumped and has nowhere to go, huh?"

"Remember when she lied about her boyfriend being some big-shot businessman? Turns out she was just being kept by someone, hilarious."

Krystal and Tina took turns mocking her, a stark contrast to the previous flattery and adulation from the dorm's occupants.

'Ding-ding-'

Nichole's phone rang. It was the dean of students.

"

The dean's tone was distinctly colder than before, "This year's graduate students are all required to intern off-campus. You didn't show up, so the assigned spots are all filled. Don't say I didn't warn you, but if you can't find an appropriate internship on your own, you won't receive your diploma. It's up to you now."

Nichole's face turned pale.

Back when James was investing in her, everyone was warm and solicitous. Never had she been spoken to in such a manner.

She was being disregarded because James had discarded her. Nichole clenched her fists in determination.

No, she could not let this be!

In the afternoon, Nichole saw Sophie's name on the graduate class internship list.

She saw Palm's Jewels written beside Sophie's name, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. She called the general manager of Palm's Jewels, who promptly invited her to visit the company. Having accompanied James to various events, Nichole had made quite a few connections.

Mr. Donny personally welcomed Nichole, "Ms. Nichole, it's our honor to have you intern with us!"

"Thank you. I remember Palm's Jewels have always collaborated with James, so I wanted to intern here and gain some new experience," Nichole responded flawlessly, subtly hinting at her relationship with James.

Mr. Donny's face bore a placating smile. Everyone in the industry knew that James always appeared with Nichole.

Rumors were circulating that James was about to divorce, all to make Nichole his new wife, and Mr. Donny certainly didn't want to offend the potential future lady of the Burke family.
