Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 563

"Achoo-!"

On the bus ride home, Sophie sneezed unexpectedly. "Damn, who's talking about me behind my back?"

No sooner had Sophie spoken than she felt a hand touch her forehead. She looked up and found James standing there.

He looked serious, his expression somewhat grave. "You have a fever."

He remembered when Sophie had first come to live with the Burke family, she wasn't in the best of health, and his grandmother had specifically reminded him to take good care of her. The house still had all sorts of medicine bottles that Sophie had brought with her when she first arrived.

However, as time went by, he couldn't help but notice that Sophie didn't seem frail at all. She was always running around, and she never lost a verbal spar.

Sophie brushed James' hand away, saying, "It's just a mild fever. I'll be fine soon."

Facing the camera, Sophie looked away as James asked the cameraman, "When can we get off?"

"One more stop."

"Is there a pharmacy nearby?"

"Uh..." The cameraman hesitated, embarrassed to admit his unfamiliarity with the area.

James noticed this and gave up on further communication. "Forget it, I'll order it."

Sophie muttered, "Always ordering. What about experiencing life?"

"When you're sick, you need to take medicine."

James was stern, leaving Sophie with no choice but to smile weakly. "You're right, I'll take it."

After all, it was free.

Following James' instructions, Colt had gone to the company for the daily meeting. However, when he arrived at the conference room, he was surprised to find Bea sitting in the chairman's seat, with the other board members looking very solemn.

"Madam?"

Colt was taken aback. Bea didn't hold shares in Burke International. By all accounts, she shouldn't have been there.

Bea said coldly, "Where has James gone?"

"Mr. Burke... has work."

"Is it work, or is he accompanying Sophie to shoot a reality show?" One of the older board members spoke in a mocking tone, which Colt found uncomfortable.

He replied, "What Mr. Burke does is his own business. I don't think you're in a position to judge."

"Hmph! Burke International is facing a mess, and he doesn't even bother to fix it. He lowers himself to shoot some worthless reality show, completely ignoring us board members!"

Bea said icily, "Colt, you're not going to tell me that you're unaware of James and Sophie's agreement to divorce, are you?"

The moment she said it, Colt's expression turned grave. This was supposed to be confidential. How did she find out?

'Bang-!'

Bea slammed her hand on the table, pulling Colt back from his thoughts.

Bea's words were sharp, her tone becoming bitter. "This is such an important matter, and you and James have kept the entire company in the dark! Do you really think the Burke family belongs to him alone?" "This is a family matter. It should be discussed privately when Mr. Burke returns. It's not appropriate now..."

"Not appropriate? What's not appropriate? Everyone here has been with the company through decades of ups and downs. James' marriage is not just his own affair but concerns Burke International!"

Bea continued coldly, "I've already contacted familiar media outlets to expose this matter. Now that James and Sophie are divorced, Sophie shouldn't expect to leech off the Burke family's fame any longer!"
