Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 283

But to his surprise, he still couldn't match a fraction of Bea's cunning.

Once upon a time, Bea was very fond of Sophie, but that was only because Sophie was of use to her.

Now that Sophie was gone, Bea had taken a liking to Nichole, whom she previously despised, simply because Nichole was carrying the Burke family's child.

For the first time, James felt a deep loathing for what his family had become.

James was still standing motionless. Bea, somewhat puzzled, smiled and said, "James, what are you still doing here? Go upstairs and rest. Nichole and I can handle things here."

It seemed Bea had everything under control. James' voice was cold and ruthless. "Since you like to rest in this house so much, I'll leave the house to you."

Bea didn't quite catch James' drift, but he had already turned and left.

Nichole couldn't help but speak with a sense of hurt, "Grandma, is James angry?"

"Don't worry about him. Once he's cooled down, he'll come back on his own."

Bea's expression was indifferent. Ever since James was young, she had taught him how to mask his emotions. However, Sophie's arrival had changed James, making him unpredictably emotional.

James had run away from home when he was younger, but in the end, he always came back with his tail between his legs. He knew that without Burke International, he was nothing in the outside world.

Outside the Burke estate, Colt was taken aback to see James leaving the house. "Mr. Burke..."

"Back to the office."

"Now, even you won't listen to me?"

"Mr. Burke, this is all for Burke International..."

It was always for Burke International.

He had heard this justification too many times throughout his life. All for Burke International, but not once had it been something he wished for himself.

Marrying Sophie was for Burke International.

Now, organizing Sophie's funeral and processing the divorce was also for Burke International.
