Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 650

In the afternoon, within Burke International, Colt stood hesitantly at the door of the CEO's office before finally knocking.

"Come in."

James was carefully trimming a bouquet of roses as Colt stood opposite him, seemingly struggling to find the right words.

James seemed to be in a good mood today. He glanced at Colt and asked, "What is it?"

"Mr. Burke, Ms. Sophie and Colby's engagement has been set, and it happens to coincide with your event. What do you think..."

Colt tentatively watched James' expression, but James' face remained as unreadable as ever.

"As long as the venues don't clash, it's fine. I don't want Nichole to be bothered by it."

After finishing with the roses, James turned to Colt and asked, "Have you booked the restaurant I mentioned?"

"...Yes, it's all arranged."

"Good, make sure you personally pick Nichole up and take her there."

"Yes, Mr. Burke."

Colt remained stationary, watching as James meticulously groomed himself. He couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Burke, Ms. Sophie and Colby are getting engaged. You..."

James replied indifferently, "My marriage to her was nothing more than a business alliance. The Costello Corporation announcing their engagement date now is simply a provocation, but their arrogance won't last long."

"Mr. Burke, I didn't mean..."

"What did you mean, then?"

Hesitating, Colt asked, "Ms. Sophie is getting engaged. Do you really feel nothing?"

James held the roses in his hands, but the reflection in his eyes was no longer one of affection but rather one of indifference.

In the evening, taking advantage of the quiet, Tricia drove Sophie to the police station.

Reece's arrest had caused quite a stir, but thanks to Tricia's efforts to suppress the news quickly, not many were aware of the details, and many treated it as a misunderstanding.

After all, Reece had always had a good reputation, with no history of brawling or violence.

Upon seeing Sophie, an officer immediately served her a cup of hot coffee, saying, "Ms. Sophie, we're so sorry for the inconvenience. Our chief isn't here today, but he instructed us to accommodate any request you might have!"

"Officer Derick sure knows how to hide at the critical moment."

The officer laughed awkwardly, stuck between offending Burke International and the future Mrs. Costello of Costello Corporation. The wise choice was obviously to lay low.
