Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 67

Nichole returned to the private booth, her pale face drawing the attention of those around her.

She steadied herself and took a seat. James noticed her discomfort and asked, “Are you feeling alright?”

Nichole whispered, “Mr. Burke, I... I think I just saw Sophie.”

“Sophie?”

Nichole nodded, struggling to speak, “Not only did I see Sophie, but I also saw those two men from the last auction. One of them seemed very close to Sophie.”

Colby?

The name flashed through James’ mind.

A flicker of cold light passed through his eyes as he stood up and strode towards the door.

Nichole followed closely behind, with everyone around unaware of what was happening.

“It's just ahead.” Nichole led the way.

James pushed the door open to see Colby and Adler clinking glasses.

Upon seeing James enter, Adler looked baffled, “James?”

Sophie wasn’t in sight, which slightly marred Nichole's expression, but soon she noticed a third set of cutlery on the table, "Mr. Burke, the cutlery’s still here.”

James also noticed the third set of cutlery, his gaze growing even colder, “Where is Sophie?”

“Sophie?” Adler looked confused, “James, why are you asking us about your wife?”

“Don’t play dumb, Nichole just saw Sophie here. Where is she now?”

“You, you are...” Nichole stared at the unfamiliar woman in a daze. Even James furrowed his brows.

“Colby, who are they?” The woman sat beside Colby, her brow furrowed in question.

Colby responded indifferently, “This is James, the CEO of Burke International, and his companion.”

“Mr. Burke, you need to trust me. The woman who was sitting here just now was not her.”

“Hey, watch your tone. Do you know who you're speaking to?”

Adler’s voice carried a rare anger, “This lady is Miss Jenna Dennis, the daughter of the Dennis family. James, you need to control your people. Especially her mouth.”

Hearing the name ‘Miss Jenna Dennis,’ Nichole’s expression grew even more troubled.
