Chapter 109
Chapter 109 Sophie casually sipped her water, pretending nothing was amiss, but her phone suddenly buzzed witha call from Jenna. She answered, and Jenna’s voice came through urgently, “Sophie! Is James anywhere near you?” “What’s up?”“That jerk! He’s made a mess of my company these last few days! I need to give him a piece of mymind!” “What are you talking about?” Sophie frowned, “James targeted your company?” Sophie remembered that three days ago, when she returned to the Burke family estate, Jenna hadmentioned she had to rush back to the company because of an emergency. She had never imaginedthat James would actually sabotage Jenna’s company over Nichole. novelbin
“That guy is c u n n ng. At first, I thought it was a competitor’s doing, but over the last few days, severalinvestors have pulled out. I couldn’t keep any of them at the networking dinners, and finally, aftercomering one and pressing him, he spilled that James had wamed them-anyone investing in theDennis family was opposing him!” Jenna’s anger grew as she spoke, while Sophie’s expression darkened. She knew James was ruthless,but she hadn’t realized he would go to such lengths for Nichole. Everyone knew Jenna was Lennon’s granddaughter Crossing the Dennis family was tantamount tooffending Lennon; James should have known better than to target Jenna. “Don’t worry, leave it to me,” Sophie reassured her. After hanging up, Sophie hadn’t initially planned to get involved with James and Nichole; but now itseemed she had been too lenient. James had no intention of sparing Jenna. If James chose not to be merciful, neither would she. Moments later, Sophie stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Sure enough, just outside, she saw James buying smoothie for Nichole. They walked side by side, withNichole boldly embracing James. Sophie quickly snapped a photo with her phone.
Sensing they were being photographed, James looked in Sophie’s direction. She unabashedly wavedher phone in front of them. James rushed over, attempting to snat c h the phone, but Sophie swiftly tucked it away. The mall was crowded, so James could not escalatethe situation. Nichole rushed forward, clutching James’ arm and pleading with Sophie. “Sophie, I’ve already left theBurke family. Please, don’t make this difficult for Mr. Burke!” “Really? And what are you doing now?” Nichole paled, stammering, “I-I just didn’t know what to do, so…” Sophie retorted, “Found yourself out of money and unsure how to live? Or just hoping James would pityyou?” Nichole looked even more distressed, “Sophie, I didn’t think like that!” “Enough, Sophie!” James frowned deeply. “Nichole was in a car accident and was thrown out while stillinjured. Ultimately, it’s all your fault. Why are you still being so harsh?” “Me, harsh?” Sophie scoffed. “When you targeted the Dennis family, you didn’t think you were beingharsh then!” James seemed surprised that Sophie knew about his actions so quickly, but he soon responded coldly,“You know there will be consequences. I’m merely teaching a lesson.” “Nichole got hit by a car. How can you blame Jenna for that? She disrupted the Dennis estate opening,subtly slandering me in public, and I haven’t even settled scores with her yet. But you’re alreadydefending her. You two really are birds of a feather. Utterly nauseating!” James’ face darkened, and thetear-streaked Nichole said, “Sophie, I don’t understand why you’re saying this. I genuinely wanted toapologize to Ms. Jenna, but she accused me without reason of being Mr. Burke’s other woman. Ourrelationship has always been Innocent!” “Oh, innocent? Crying in his arms, refusing to leave the Burke family home-that’s your definition ofinnocent?”
