Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 571

As James stormed over, visibly furious, the bodyguard by his side released his grip in fear. James approached, checking Sophie over with concern. "Let me see, are you hurt?"

"...I'm okay."

Sophie's voice was weak, causing James' expression to darken instantly. He cast a cold glance at the bodyguard who had been holding Sophie's arm, and the man quickly lowered his head. "Mr. Burke...it was Mrs. Roberts' orders."

"Mrs. Roberts? Who employs you, the Roberts or the Burke family? Who gave you permission to disrespect my wife?!"

"...Yes, Mr. Burke."

None of the bodyguards dared to speak up.

Solana's face paled. James' gaze was filled with cold fury, and upon meeting his eyes, Solana lost all her earlier bravado, adopting a pleasant tone instead. "James, it's been years since we last met. There's no need to be this upset. Look, Ms. Sophie is fine, isn't she?"

"She'd better be, or this won't be the end of it!"

James showed no mercy, leaving Solana with no choice but to maintain her composure. "You're right, James...thank goodness everything is okay. I wouldn't have been at ease otherwise."

"I'm a bit tired." Sophie's voice carried a hint of weariness.

"Let me help you sit down for a bit." James supported Sophie to the sofa, only then noticing the living room in complete disarray.

Quickly, James' gaze locked onto Solana. She managed a strained, awkward smile, but James' look only grew colder.

"Sit here."

James gently pushed Sophie onto the couch, then knelt down to adjust the throw blanket over her clothes. "I'll handle everything else. I'll have housekeeping come clean this up."

Solana was silent, and James lost his patience, stating coldly, "Thirty seconds. Gather your things and leave."

"James, Aunt Bea meant for me to bring you back..."

"Solana, if you can't understand me, I might have to find another way to make it clear."

"I..."

Solana's expression darkened. Sophie, meanwhile, sat comfortably on the couch, sipping juice. Sophie caught Solana's glance and couldn't resist raising her mug in a taunting toast.

Solana bit her lip and had no choice but to address the bodyguards, "Didn't you hear Mr. Burke? Move it!"
