Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1168

Upon hearing the words, Colby’s brow furrowed slightly.

"Bea, I really owe you one," Sophie said, linking arms with Colby. "I already have a husband. Why would I want to be Mrs. Burke of the Burke family? Getting back with James was already a big favor to Burke International, and trust me, it won't happen again."

Bea was so infuriated by Sophie that she could only point at her, stuttering in frustration.

Sophie continued, "Bea, think it over before you send Colt to find me again. I’m only giving you one day to consider this offer for the ten percent shares. If you don't take it, don’t expect another chance."

With that, Sophie, arm in arm with Colby, headed for the door.

Suddenly, Bea shouted, "Sophie! How can you do this to James?"

Sophie stopped, turning around with a cold gaze. "I’ve always been fair to him; I owe the Burke family nothing."

"You!"

Bea fainted right there, prompting Colt to rush over, shouting, "Bea! Quick, call a doctor!"

The maids scurried around in a frenzy. Meanwhile, Sophie and Colby walked out of the grand doors of the Burke family estate.

Once, the Burke family's main house had seemed unattainable to Sophie. She'd longed for James's approval and dreamed of stepping inside.

But now, Sophie was no longer bound by anything—except Colby.

Holding Colby’s hand tightly, she said, "I never want to come back to this place again."

Outside the Burke family mansion, James silently watched the scene unfold, hiding behind a wall as if afraid of being noticed.

He chuckled softly.

Colby was right.

The most beautiful flower in the world had been right in front of him. Yet, he had been blind to it, letting it wither and fade.

Even if he had another chance, he could only watch as someone else cherished her.

James, you truly failed.
