Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 521

Hearing this, Paige indeed fell silent. Even a fool would know that such a precious item was far more valuable than cash. Naturally, anyone would prefer cash over such treasures.

"I think Bea is well aware of this, too. The Burke family's standing is legendary not just in the business world but also in the auction circles. If Bea doesn't want you to sell this ring, it's unlikely anyone would dare buy it. Then, you'd be stuck with a ring you can't sell, rotting away in your hands. In your desperation, Bea just needs to find someone to buy the ring at a low price, and suddenly, the ring isn't worth a billion dollars anymore."

Upon hearing Sophie's explanation, everyone was shocked, and Morris spoke angrily, "She's so cunning!"

"So, what should we do now, Ms. Sophie?"

"Yeah, should we accept this ring or not?" Paige also asked.

Calla, well aware of the depths of the Burke family's scheming, stepped forward and took Sophie's hand, saying, "Ms. Sophie, it's my fault before. Please don't be mad at me. Help our family..."

"I came here to help your family," Sophie replied.

"That's wonderful, Ms. Sophie! Just tell us what to do, and we'll do it!"

"I do have a plan, but it depends on whether you are brave enough to follow through."

"Tell us! We'll be brave!" Paige declared.

"Good. I want you two to take this ring to the Burke family tomorrow and make a scene."

Paige was startled, "Make a scene? Again?"

They had already caused a commotion today. Although Bea had made some concessions, the Burke family was not one to be trifled with. Going again might just infuriate the Burkes, leading to an even worse

outcome.

Sophie smiled and said, "Just go and insist on cash instead of the ring. Act like you don't know its worth. After that, I guarantee you'll get a billion dollars and go home satisfied."

Hearing Sophie's assurance, Paige felt uneasy, but Morris took Paige's hand and said, "Okay, I'll do it."

"Good, I'll leave the ring with you. See you tomorrow." Sophie handed over the ring and left the Devins family.

Paige hesitantly asked, "Honey, should we trust Sophie?"

"I think Sophie isn't in league with the Burke family. Didn't James have an affair recently? I think Sophie wants to get back at them. We could give it a try."

"Father is right. If we can get a billion dollars, my reputation won't be tarnished for nothing."

The Devins family agreed and went to the Burke family's doorstep early the next morning to make a scene. When Bea was woken up by Marian, she was visibly annoyed, "What now? Who's causing trouble this time?" "It's the Devins family. They're making a scene again!"

"The Devins? Why would they come to cause trouble out of the blue? Didn't I tell you to give them the ring?"

Bea was getting up impatiently when Marian said, "They're insisting they don't want the ring, just cash."

"Idiots! Isn't the ring more valuable than cash? Are they out of their minds?" Bea said this with a look of displeasure.

Outside, Sophie heard Bea's complaints and couldn't help but laugh softly.

Indeed, Bea wanted to use the ring to cover the billion dollars simply because she didn't have that amount in cash. It wasn't the conspiracy the Devins family thought it was yesterday.

Little did the Devins family know that the eminent Bea Burke couldn't even come up with a billion dollars.

At that moment, Bea stepped out and spotted Sophie. She frowned, "Didn't you hear there's trouble at the door? You're supposed to be the lady of this house. Shouldn't you go see what's happening?" "You're right, Bea. But this time, the Devins family came for you, and I didn't know what to do."

Sophie feigned helplessness, and Bea took a deep breath before heading outside.

The Devins family was already sitting on the sofa and spoke rudely to Bea, "We don't want this ring; give us the cash!"

Morris slammed the ring box on the table after speaking.

Bea coldly replied, "Are you sure you understand the value of this ring? It's worth more than a billion! It could secure your future! I warn you, stop causing trouble here!"

Morris snorted, "What billion? We don't want it. If we don't see the money today, we're not leaving!"

"You!" Bea was furious, clearly dealing with outright obstinacy.

Sophie stepped forward, holding Bea back, "Bea, don't worry. If the Devins family doesn't want the ring, we'll just take it back. It's just a billion dollars. Surely, you can afford it, can't you?"
