Mrs. Burke, why are you all alonewhen Mr. Burke is still here?” Harold’s casual comment was tinged with sarcasm. Sophie just smiled slightly, showing no intention ofgiving James an easy out. Seeing this, James got imitated and grabbed Sophie’s arm, pulling her closer. He said coldly, “Sophie ismy wife, and she will stay as my wife.” Sophie frowned, and everyone around fell silent.

Harold was visibly annoyed. “And he just left you like that?” “Isn’t that typical?” Sophie hadn’t expected Nichole to pull such a move, and as Krystal watched Nichole being camedaway, her eyes held even more animosity towards Sophie. Sophie raised an eyebrow. It seemed that they blamed her for Nichole’s fainting spell. “That homewrecker has no shame. She got Nichole faint and was still smiling.” Krystal had alwaysdespised such women who used their looks to steal someone else’s boyfriend.

As Sophie and her group tried to pass by, Krystal couldn’t help but throw in a taunt, “He’s walked away,and someone is still sticking around. She’s probably fishing for more wealthy husbands.” Jenna heard this and frowned, pulling Sophie back to face Krystal. “Who are you talking about?” “Everyone knows who I’m talking about.”
