Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 228

Sophie froze, unsure of what James was intending to do.

Slowly, James leaned in, but Sophie quickly turned her head away.

James paused, ultimately releasing her. "Come to the office with me. I'll handle things real quick."

Sophie wanted to refuse, but James said, "Since you've given me three months, let me spend a little more time with you, okay?"

Sophie had never seen James in such a humble state. In her memory, James was always looking down on her from his lofty position.

After a moment of silence, Sophie pursed her lips and said, "Okay."

A smile spread across James' face, and he turned the car around.

Burke International was in chaos at the moment. James walked in just as Colt was departing to look for him.

Spotting James, Colt was overjoyed. "Mr. Burke! You're finally back!"

These past few days, James had been distracted, and unable to concentrate even during meetings. Now, many decisions at the company needed James' immediate attention due to the pressing situation.

"Mr. Burke, all the directors are waiting for you in the conference room…" Before Colt could finish, he caught sight of Sophie standing next to James.

Sophie had been quiet, and Colt was slightly surprised to see James had brought his wife along.

"Let's head to the conference room."

"I'll arrange for Mrs. Burke to rest in the lounge."

"No need." James interrupted, issuing a calm order, "Sophie and I will attend together."

"What?" Colt thought he had misheard.

At that moment, James had already taken Sophie's hand.

"Fire everyone who was just gossiping behind our backs."

"Mr. Burke!"

Colt was shocked, but James' expression had turned cold. "I don't want to repeat some things."

"Yes, Mr. Burke." Colt bowed his head.

Sophie frowned. "You didn't have to do that. It didn't bother me."

"I'll make sure everyone knows you are my wife, and no one will gossip about you again."

James' grip on Sophie's hand tightened.

Sophie remained silent.
