Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 382

Bea stormed in, her anger palpable. "You're still working! Do you realize your child is about to call another man 'dad?""'

James frowned, perplexed. "Grandma, what are you talking about?"

"What am I talking about? Nichole has run off with another man! Did you know? She's carrying your child! How could you let her go?"

Bea was fuming.

James' expression was indifferent, as if he wasn't concerned. "I let her go myself."

"What?!"

Bea was stunned, thinking she had misheard. How could anyone push their own kid and woman into the arms of another man?!

Bea exploded, "James, do you realize what you're doing? How couldthe Burke family produce such a coward? And here I thought it was Sophie who took her. Do you have any idea how much of a fool I made of myself confronting Sophie at the hospital?"

At the mention of Sophie's name, James hesitated. "You've seen Sophie? Is she at the hospital?"

The Russell family had been in turmoil these past few days, and despite his repeated attempts to visit, he had been turned away.

He hadn't expected Bea to seek out Sophie!

James immediately stood up, thinking that Sophie might be hurt, but Bea grabbed him. "You come back here!"

James frowned. "Grandma, have you had enough?"

"What? How dare you speak to me like that!"

Bea was livid. Ever since Sophie married into the family, there hadn't been a day of peace. Even James, her grandson, had started to disobey her! James massaged his temples, calling out, "Colt!"

Colt entered, and James coldly ordered, "Take Grandma back to rest. She is not to leave without my permission."

"Yes, Mr. Burke."

Colt approached Bea. "Mr. Burke has other matters to attend to. It's best you step out for now."

"James!"

Bea tried to stop James, but his mind was preoccupied with whether Sophie was injured. He immediately headed to the downtown hospital.

Upon his arrival, he saw Colby in Sophie's room.

Colby gently held Sophie's chin, moving it side to side, revealing the faint red handprint on her face.

Outside, James stepped back, his brow furrowing slightly. His gaze was fixed on Sophie's injured face.

"Don't move." Colby's deep voice filled the room.

Sophie sighed, "It's not serious, just a couple of slaps."

Adler stood by, munching on a corn cob. "I deserve some praise. Lucky I noticed Jenna's voice was off over the phone, or Colby and I would've been completely fooled!"

Jenna glared at Adler. "You have the nerve to say that?"

Adler chuckled sheepishly, continuing to eat his corn.

Unable to contain her anger, Jenna knocked Adler's corn to the ground, furiously saying, "It's all Nichole's fault. She had someone bring me and Sophie to the restaurant, and her people trapped us there. Sophie and I were planning to see who wanted to meet us, so we didn't bring anyone along. We were not expecting to meet Ricardo Cloude."
