Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 104

Sophie left without looking back, and Nichole tugged at James' sleeve, saying, "James, I think Sophie just spoke in anger. Don’t take it to heart, and please don’t be upset."

James withdrew his hand without a word.

Nichole stared at her empty hand, startled.

James said indifferently, "I have things to handle at the office. You should focus on your studies. If you need anything, just call Marian."

"But..." Nichole tried to stop James, but he had already stood up and left.

Marian was sweeping the floor and couldn't help but snort coldly at Nichole. It was just a little spat between Mr. and Mrs., and there she was, acting like she owned the place!

Noticing Marian’s expression, Nichole felt a flush of embarrassment.

Sophie returned to her apartment across from the university. She and Jenna had come back here earlier in the morning.

Jenna, slightly excited, said, "Did you really ask James for a divorce? Did he agree?"

Sophie thought carefully and replied, "He didn’t say anything."

"That’s equal to agreeing! In that case, I’ll immediately have my lawyer draft the divorce papers. We'll make sure you get a fair share of his billion-dollar fortune and then kick that jerk to the curb!"

Jenna became more agitated as she spoke, almost dragging Sophie to the lawyer's office right then and there.

Sophie shook her head. “I can’t divorce him.”

"Why not?" Jenna was taken aback.

"How so?"

Sophie slowly said, "The only reason we can’t divorce is because of the business entanglements between the Russell and Burke families, but once the Russell family no longer needs the Burkes, we can easily cut ties."

"That sounds easier said than done. Those business entanglements aren’t so easily resolved. Besides, everyone can see your family is just a shell now. If it weren’t for James' involvement, your family might collapse in a few years."

Sophie hadn’t expected even Jenna to see the precarious state of the Russell family. James must've understood it even better.

In her past life, James had married her, seized all the connections and projects the Russell family had accumulated over the years, and then mercilessly pushed them out of the game.

In the end, he even followed through with his principle of eradicating the roots, crushing the Russell family completely.
