Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 341

James didn't want to argue with his grandmother, who had raised him, so he silently left the dinner party.

Bea stood still, digesting what James had just said. He had mentioned that Sophie was the reason for this collaboration.

"What does that mean?"

Bea was utterly confused. She looked at Nichole beside her and asked, "What did James mean by that?"

"I have no idea," Nichole's expression was grim. "It can't be. The Russell family can't be more formidable than us."

The Burke family was the undisputed leader of Devonport's business community. Everyone knew that.

The Russell family had long been on the decline. How could James say something like that?

"Mrs. Bea, you've disrupted all of Mr. Burke's plans today!" Colt couldn't help but speak up. He didn't elaborate further and then went to find James.

"Grandma Bea, don't take it to heart. It's all because... Ah!"

Before Nichole could finish, Bea slapped her across the face.

Nichole's complexion changed instantly. Bea gave her a cold look and said, "It's all because of you. You seduced James! How else could the Burke family be embroiled in such a scandal?"

Nichole was angry but could not speak out. After all, she wasn't married to James yet and still relied on Bea to help her.

Nichole bit her lip and said, "I know what happened between James and me was disgraceful, but James forced me that night. And now, I'm carrying the Burke family's child. We can't just leave the child without a family name."

Bea valued lineage above all. She calmed down a bit upon hearing this and said, "If Sophie had been the one with child, do you think you'd still matter?"

After saying that, Bea turned to leave.

Nichole, though reluctant, dared not disobey Bea. She immediately followed Bea, saying, "Don't worry. Once James and I are married, I'll definitely support him in his career. After all, I'm a graduate of Eastwood College. James helped me. I won't forget this favor, and I will serve you well. If you wish, I can also focus on being a good wife and mother at home."

Bea had no respect for a woman of Nichole's background and ignored her words.

Meanwhile, Sophie was still in the car, finding it amusing to see Bea deliberately leave Nichole outside.

Bea remained the same. She knew about Nichole's pregnancy, but Nichole was nothing but a lowly being in Bea's eyes. As long as she got the child, Bea could discard Nichole at will. Bea was excellent at making empty promises.

Reece spoke up, "Did you never intend to collaborate with the Burke family from the start?"

"Yeah," Sophie said. "Collaborating with the Burke family once would lead to a second time. It's better to find a way for them to completely cut off any thoughts of collaboration with us." "It's hard to say whether to admire your cunning or your ruthlessness, considering you were once married."

"He and I were only married in name. He never showed me any kindness, so why should I show any to him?" Sophie told the driver, "Drive, take Reece home first."

"Yes, Ms. Sophie."

In the rearview mirror, Sophie saw the driver lower his cap a bit more.

She frowned and said, "Are you our regular driver?"
