Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 267

Late at night, James stormed back to the Burke household, shoving open the grand doors with a surge of anger.

Bea had already gone to bed. She heard the noise at the entrance and asked Calla to help her walk to the door.

As soon as they reached the living room, Bea saw James with a dark expression on his face. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?"

"Come here!" James stepped forward and grabbed Calla, looking fierce.

Calla had never seen James so furiously angry, and was scared out of her wits. "James! What are you doing?"

"How can you be so evil? Have you squandered those money?!"

James looked menacing while Calla shook her head desperately, saying, "James, this has nothing to do with me. Really, you have to believe me…"

"Believe you?" James' eyes narrowed dangerously as he said, "Sophie fell overboard and hasn't been found yet! If she's dead, I'll make your family pay!"

Calla looked distressed, but Bea suddenly spoke up, saying, "Enough!"

Bea took a deep breath and said, "What does this have to do with Calla? She doesn't have the authority to change financial transactions. I ordered it."

In an instant, James' strength seemed to drain away. "Grandma, what do you mean by that?"

"My foolish boy, even if Sophie is the precious daughter of the Russell family and has contributed to Burke International, she's not worth ten billion dollars!" Bea said coldly, "I think Sophie has clouded your judgment. As the head of Burke International, you need to consider the corporation's welfare and not sacrifice it for one woman!"

James' voice turned hoarse. "Grandma, do you know how important Sophie is to me?"

"You…"

James turned to Colt, standing behind him, and ordered, "Deploy all of the Burke's resources to find Sophie now. We need to see her, dead or alive!"

"Yes, Mr. Burke."

Hearing this, Bea's expression soured, "James! You stop right there! Come back!"

No matter how much Bea called out, James didn't look back.

Bea's face turned grim. "He doesn’t even listen to me now! Sophie really is a curse. We never should have allowed her to marry into the Burke family!"
