Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 657

"Ms. Sophie, is that a sneer?"

At that moment, Nichole's untimely retort completely shattered the illusion, indirectly admitting that Bea had indeed been bragging.

As expected, Bea's expression turned even more sour.

Sophie feigned confusion and asked, "Ms. Rowena, I was genuinely complimenting Bea just now. Why would you think I was being sarcastic?"

"Because you..."

The words were on the tip of Nichole's tongue when she realized she had misspoken. When she looked at Bea again, she saw Bea's face darken.

"Grandma... I didn't mean..."

"Silence!" Bea glared at Nichole.

Some people just couldn't hide their true nature! Even with all the training, they were still foolish at heart.

She did not even know what should and should not be said at times like this!

Sophie's smile seemed particularly mocking in Bea's eyes.

Bea took a deep breath and turned to James. "James! Let's go!"

James didn't dare to defy Bea and prepared to leave with her after giving Sophie a cold look.

However, Colby's people had already surrounded them, making it impossible to leave.

Bea turned and glared at Colby. "Colby, what is the meaning of this?"

"My fiancée was insulted by your future granddaughter-in-law. I must insist that she apologizes to my fiancée. When she bows and apologizes, then you may leave."

"Grandma!"

Nichole couldn't believe Bea's reaction, but Bea showed no signs of relenting. She coldly said, "Are you going to make us all wait here for your apology?"

"Grandma, it wasn't Nichole's fault..."

"Silence!" Bea glared at James. "You are the head of the Burke family! You must act appropriately. When your fiancée is in the wrong, you can't just blindly defend her. What would people think?"

After being scolded by Bea, James could only stand still.

Bea gave Nichole a cold look. "Well? Are you going to apologize, or do I have to make you?"

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Nichole felt utterly humiliated. Biting her lip, she finally approached Sophie and bowed deeply. "Ms. Sophie, I was rude earlier. I hope you can forgive me. I'm very sorry."
