Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 114

"Yeah."

"Is it about me?"

"Sort of." Harold said, "I was still at home this morning when my brother mentioned something about the Burke family having some troubles. It's insider information. I guess you haven't heard yet."

"You came all the way to school just to gossip about the Burkes?"

Harold's face uncontrollably flushed a bit, then he turned his head away and said, "Don't get me wrong, I just wanted to get some information about the Burke family from you."

"I probably know less than you do." Sophie stopped teasing Harold and asked, "So what exactly happened to the Burke family?"

"Inside news. The Burke family has some shady financial leaks that caused several of their funding chains to break, and all collaborations with some international organizations have been halted. Soon, the Burke family might have to face inquiries from authorities, and God knows how much they will lose."

Harold mentioned international organizations, and Sophie immediately thought of Colby. Only Colby had such influence abroad.

"You wouldn't happen to know who did it, would you?" Harold tried to read something from Sophie's expression.

Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, "If I knew who was responsible, I wouldn't be the last one in class to hear the news."

It was ironic, really. She was James’ wife, yet she knew less about his things than outsiders.

"I saw you and James showing off as the perfect couple in the media recently. Didn’t he even tell you about the company's troubles?"

Harold frowned, "What? You're treating me to lunch and already worrying about the money on your card?"

It wasn't really about the money on the card for Sophie, but here in this place, almost everyone was a well-known figure in upper society. Her and Harold being seen together would inevitably lead to gossip.

"Harold, the place next door isn’t bad either. It’s more affordable. Maybe we could..."

"Cut the chatter, let's go in!" Harold pulled Sophie into the restaurant, and just as she stepped in, she spotted a familiar figure.

Nichole was sitting in the most conspicuous spot in the restaurant with Krystal and Tina by her side.

When Krystal and Tina saw Sophie, the hostility in their eyes vanished.
