Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 223

Bea knew exactly what to do, which was why she trusted that there wouldn't be any drama at this crucial moment.

James stared at Sophie for a long time, unsure of what to say. Eventually, he simply stated, "I'll have someone move your things back tomorrow. Grandma is coming back, and it wouldn't look good for you to be living outside."

"No need, I won't be staying long."

Sophie just left it at that. She was tired, and all she wanted now was some rest.

Without thinking, James reached out and grabbed Sophie's arm, asking, "What do you mean by that?"

"James, is there even a point in asking that now? You know exactly what I mean."

"Does it have to be this way?"

Sophie coldly replied, "What do you think?"

James remained silent.

Sophie continued, "I'm not blaming you, but your affair with Nichole crossed a line during our marriage, giving me more than enough reason to divorce you. Even if it goes to court, I have my arguments. You should know how much you'll have to pay me once we're divorced, right?"

James had probably never considered that she might one day file for divorce, so he hadn't transferred his assets after getting married. If they divorced, and he was at fault, she would receive a substantial settlement.

"Believe it or not, that was an accident. I've cut off all contact with Nichole since that day..."

"At Palm's Jewels, when you protected Nichole, was I just seeing things?"

James wanted to explain that he was just trying to upset her that day but couldn't bring himself to say it.

Sophie had never seen such earnestness in James' eyes before. He wasn't joking.

"James, you're mad."

Even if three months passed, she would never accept James. James was bound to lose this bet.

"I know I've made mistakes in the past and caused misunderstandings. Give me a chance, and I will strive to be a good husband. I truly love you."

For a moment, Sophie saw the young boy James used to be in his eyes.

Perhaps James had long forgotten, but she would always remember the boy who squatted down, took her hand, and walked her down that road.

"Fine, I'll give you this chance," Sophie said coldly. "But let me tell you that no matter what you do, you will definitely lose."
