Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 151

"Do you really want a divorce that badly?"

"Yes, I want a divorce. I've had enough."

James looked into Sophie's resolute eyes, no longer seeing the deep love she once had for him.

"Fine, then listen to me. I don't agree to the divorce." James stood up, grabbing the divorce papers from the table and tearing them in half.

"James! You!"

"I don't want to hear you mention divorce again. As long as I forbid it, you'll always be my wife."

"James, by what right—"

"By the right that I am James Burke, and here in Devonport, I have the final say. If I don't agree, you can forget about the divorce."

"You!"

Before Sophie could finish, James tossed the divorce papers into the trash and stormed upstairs.

Sophie watched his retreating figure with fury. Damn it, why won't he agree to the divorce now?

In the past, she begged him not to divorce her, and James didn't even glance at her. But now, when she initiated the divorce, and it had escalated to this point, suddenly James was unwilling to part ways.

Sophie glanced at the trash can where the torn divorce papers lay.

However, James had a point. Now in Devonport, his word was law. If James didn’t agree to the divorce, then she couldn’t get one.

It seemed she needed to add some weight to her divorce strategy.

The next day, Sophie went to the Business Registry and took over several of Russell Enterprises’ failing companies.

Sophie raised an eyebrow. “I assume you received the news yesterday that I’m taking over Russell Entertainment. I’ll be here often. If I find anyone slacking off again, they’ll be fired immediately.”

The manager quickly responded, “It won’t happen again. We were just bored, but it won’t happen again.”

Sophie casually found a place to sit. The decor here was decent. Given the initial investment the Russell family put into this media company, it shouldn't be losing money annually. The employees were afraid of layoffs simply because they couldn’t find another job as comfortable and well-paying as this one.

Sophie asked, “Where are the artists?”

The manager said obsequiously from the side. “The few artists we have are out on assignments. They won’t be back till tonight.”

“There’s one named Reece, where is he?”

Sophie clearly remembered that Russell Entertainment had signed a recent college graduate named Reece, who had been underused due to his reserved nature. After being semi-buried post-graduation, he was poached by another company and subsequently rose to stardom.

Now, saving this disastrously mismanaged Russell Entertainment might just depend on Reece.
