Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 345

Outside, Reece was confronting the people of the Aldridge family. On the surface, he appeared relaxed, but secretly, he clenched the pocket knife hidden in his sleeve, ready to act at the first sign of trouble. At that moment, Sophie walked out and said to Reece, "Why are you so tense? Let's go."

Reece frowned, "All done?"

"Yeah."

When he realized Sophie was unharmed, Reece relaxed his guard.

The Aldridge family was a quagmire, deep and impenetrable. If James was the undisputed lord of Devonport, then Gordon was its most enigmatic king.

In Devonport, everyone knew that offending James was forgivable, but crossing Gordon was unthinkable.

In the car, Reece gently adjusted Sophie's shoulder, inspecting her for any injuries. Indeed, there were none.

Without regard for the Aldridge family driver in front of them, he asked, "Did you offend him?"

"No."

"Then what did he want?"

"To offer a friendly warning."

Sophie's expression remained calm; she was well aware of the Burke family's deep roots.

On the surface, S Corporation seemed evenly matched with Burke International. But if things were to get serious, S Corporation couldn't sustain a prolonged battle against the Burkes.

After all, Burke International had a century of reputation to its name. No matter how formidable her new-generation group was, it couldn't take down Burke International quickly. They would likely find it difficult to navigate the future once Burke International bounced back.

However, she wasn't worried.

After all, the Burke family had a reckless person like Bea.

All Sophie needed to do was deliver a knockout blow to Burke International and successfully divorce James, and she would no longer make significant moves against the Burke family.

The next day, the news about the scandal involving Bea at the gala spread. The news painted Bea as a malicious mother-in-law.

The partnership between Burke International and Russell Enterprises was called off, and the magazine shoot involving Reece and Vanessa was also canceled.

Online, clips of Vanessa being a diva on set and trying to cozy up to Reece began to circulate.

As soon as these clips hit the internet, they went viral, with netizens lambasting Vanessa.

After all, Reece was seen as a veteran actor and a stoic heartthrob. He was rarely involved in scandals with actresses. In the videos, Reece appeared impatient with Vanessa and refused any physical contact. Under these circumstances, Vanessa's image took a nosedive. From being an international socialite, she became known as an ill-mannered diva.

Sophie was in her office and wasn't surprised when she saw the news.

Though Reece respected women, he was cunning when it came to tactics. He knew exactly how public opinion worked, and the inexperienced Vanessa was no match for him.

"Ms. Sophie! There seems to be trouble with the Burke family!" Tricia rushed into Sophie's office with the news.

Sophie knew it was good news. "What happened to Burke International now?"

"Apparently, there was a construction worker who committed suicide at one of their sites, and it has now been exposed as a shoddy project. They're facing losses in the hundreds of millions now." Sophie smiled slightly. It seemed the time had come.

At this moment, the front desk of Burke International was swamped with calls, and their meeting room was in complete disarray.
