Bea had shockingly sent her driver to tarnish the reputation of a young girl who hadn't even graduated from college yet.

"So what was James' reaction?"

"Mr. Burke knew it was Bea's doing, so... he didn't tell Ms. Calla. Instead, he let Ms. Calla stay and thought of compensating the Devins family somehow. But he hadn't expected Ms. Calla to make such a scene..."

Sophie massaged her temples, roughly understanding why Bea had let a man into Calla's room.

It was all because Calla hadn't managed to seduce James. To keep Calla in play and, more importantly, to keep her grandson wrapped around her finger, Bea had no choice but to let another man enter Calla's room, making Calla believe she was already involved with James. Naturally, Calla would become even more devoted.

At that time, Nichole had approached Bea, expressing her desire to marry into the Burke family. Bea had agreed to Nichole's proposal, thereby securing Calla's loyalty and aiming to completely push out Sophie.

However, too many variables had come into play since then, and Calla wasn't as submissive as she appeared on the surface.

Bea had kept Calla well and fed her lies for so long, so it was no surprise that Calla had lost her cool. Everything that had come to pass was the result of Bea's manipulation. "Gather all the evidence and hand it directly to Calla."

"What?" Colt thought he had heard wrong.

Sophie, however, said, "A girl who was forced to lose her innocence deserves to know what happened. It's her right."

"But what if Ms. Calla uses this evidence to threaten Mr. Burke?"

"It was Bea who did this. Calla can't threaten James. She should know that if she really threatens James, the Devins family won't face a good outcome in the future."

Sophie spoke calmly, "Take the evidence to Calla. Tell her she can have the evidence, but the Burke family won't offer the Devins family any more benefits, nor will they cooperate with the Devins family in the future. If Calla can't stand it, she can use this evidence to threaten Bea and make Bea pay the billion dollars in compensation."

Colt asked cautiously, "Madam... are you trying to clear Mr. Burke's name?"

"He was never involved in this matter to begin with, so it's not like I'm helping him."

Sophie's expression remained neutral, knowing that even if James were to handle this, he would do it more cleanly than she would.

She had no intention of letting Bea live out her days in peace. Those who committed bad deeds must pay a price, right?

Meanwhile, the Devins family quickly arrived at the Burke family's door with their lawyer.

Bea exploded upon seeing Calla and her parents arrive. "Who let you in? Marian! Kick them out this instant!"

"Bea, after all these years of friendship, you actually sent your driver to ruin my daughter's innocence!"

Calla's father Morris was not a tall man but had a fiery temper. He tossed the copies of the evidence on the table. It clearly showed a tall, middle-aged man sneaking into Calla's room.

Bea's face darkened. She didn't expect these pieces of evidence to magically appear in the Devins family's hands.

Not only were there photos of Bea's middle-aged driver, but there were also recordings from the dashcam. The evidence of Bea instructing the driver to ruin Calla's innocence was laid out in detail. Bea scoffed, "Are you trying to threaten me?"

"This isn't a threat! We're here for the compensation you promised my daughter!" Morris coldly said, "My daughter hasn't even graduated from college. She's been serving you all this time. What did she do to deserve this from you?"

"It's your daughter's fault for being useless! I was just fulfilling her dream of entering high society. She's been living off the Burke family for free these past few days. That should be enough!"

"What are you talking about? You're too cruel! Calla, there's no need to be polite with her anymore! Bring out the documents!"

With Morris' support, Calla immediately produced the contract, which bore Bea's signature, agreeing to pay the one billion in compensation.

In just a short while, the Devins family had already had the contract notarized. It was now effective. If Bea didn't transfer the billion dollars to the Devins family's account within three days, she would face a lawsuit.

Bea hadn't expected the Devins family to be so ruthless, but she still tried to maintain her dignity, saying, "You think suing me will get you the billion dollars? Let me tell you, my grandson will never let the Devins family off easy!"

Morris sneered, "Funny, who do you think gave us the evidence? How would we dare to come here seeking justice if it wasn't for Mr. Burke?"

With that statement, Bea's face turned pale. "What nonsense are you spouting?!"
