Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 271

James frowned, his voice ice-cold as he commanded, "Colt, get her out of here."

"Right away!"

Colt had already moved forward, seizing Nichole's arm, but Nichole fought back, shaking off Colt's grip. "Let go!"

Facing James, Nichole mustered all her courage, declaring, "Nobody here can touch me! I'm pregnant, carrying Mr. Burke's child!"

Her voice, neither too loud nor too soft, was enough for everyone around to hear.

Outside the door, some employees peeked in, curious about the commotion inside.

James' expression turned grave at once. This change made them realize the situation might indeed be true.

Nichole stepped closer to James, gently touching her still-flat belly. "James, this is your child. Your first child! Is this really how you want to treat them?"

James clenched his fists at Nichole's defiance.

From Nichole's words, Katy, who had been slumped on the floor, suddenly found her pillar of strength.

In prestigious families, lineage was paramount. Now that Nichole was pregnant, she would definitely become James’ wife.

Katy's nerves relaxed, and her fear dissipated, replaced with a spark of excitement. She was about to become James' mother-in-law! The grandmother of James Burke's child!

What did she have to fear now?

But if she could endure this momentary setback and wait until Nichole became Mrs. Burke, she could still hold her head high.

With this thought, Katy mustered her courage to face James, saying, "Mr. Burke, everything I said was the truth. It was all my doing. No one told me to do this."

"Very well." James responded with a cold laugh. "Lock her up. We can consider releasing her when she's ready to talk."

"Right away!"

Several bodyguards stepped forward, restraining Katy, who, despite her fear, felt a glimmer of hope because of Nichole's trump card.

After everyone had left, James turned to a bodyguard beside him. "Conduct a thorough investigation into her identity and background. I want every detail. Report back to me once it's done."
