Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 243

Sophie gave a slight smile. "Alright, I'll come with you."

Colt stepped aside to let Sophie pass, and as they were walking, Sophie paused mid-step and asked, "Has Nichole been in touch with you or James recently?"

Colt nodded. "Ms. Nichole did give me a few calls, but per Mr. Burke's instructions, I didn't respond."

"Okay, I got it."

A smile played on Sophie's lips. So, Nichole was still thinking James was her financial savior.

It made sense as she was pushed to the brink and James might be the only one who could save her now.

Colt thought Sophie might have misunderstood something and quickly explained, "Madam, Mr. Burke has truly decided to cut ties with Ms. Nichole this time. You might not be aware, but the reason Mr. Burke ostentatiously took Ms. Nichole to some galas recently was mainly to make you jealous."

"There's no need to explain. I understand it all."

Sophie responded with merely a light smile, which made Colt pause in surprise.

He had sensed that the lady had changed but couldn't pinpoint exactly how. Now, seeing her reaction, Colt realized that she had changed because Mr. Burke no longer held any significance in her heart.

The night deepened, and Nichole, having escaped from a dinner party, sneaked her way into a narrow alley. The alley was deserted, but Nichole was fully disguised, covering herself up tightly.

Nichole turned on the room's light. The woman, huddled in a corner in fear, looked up and finally saw Nichole's face.

Nichole was dressed in an expensive gown, her hair done up exquisitely, almost unrecognizable from her past self.

The woman's eyes lit up instantly. "Nichole! You're back! Please help me, I am your mom!"

Katy rushed toward Nichole in desperation.

Nichole pushed Katy away with a look of disgust. She had lived in this place before, and for her mother, for this home, she felt nothing but revulsion!
