Chapter 239

The first time they had sex, James mistook Sophie for Nichole, and he was tender to the extreme.

That evening, they had sex for the second time, but James had regained his senses. He believed shehad drugged him, and his actions were rough.

After that night, James‘ attitude toward her turned extremely vile. To vent his anger, he took revenge onthe Russell family, secretly scheming to bankrupt them.

Even when she was pregnant, he ignored her, leaving her to die on the operating table at the hospital.

Thinking of this, Sophie clenched her fists.

Sophie, oh Sophie, how could you forget everything he has done just because of his recent kindness?‘

James is cold–hearted to the core. He only loves himself the most.

A moment later, James came out of the bathroom, wearing only a white bathrobe, with droplets ofwater falling from his hair tips.

He saw Sophie sitting silently by the bed, approached her with a smile, and asked, “Are you alright?”

Just as James was about to reach out to tidy her hair, Sophie turned her head away. His hand frozemid–air. Sophie stood up and asked, “I have a question for you.”

“Go ahead.”

“Is Nichole really an orphan?”

“Yes.”

“Was she a student at a private girls‘ school?”

“Mhm.”

“Then why did you choose her?”

Without much thought, James truthfully replied, “She was top of her class at the private girls‘ school.Burke International wanted to support a few students, and these students weren’t chosen at random.We considered multiple factors, ensuring the students were talented, of good character, and had apositive image before we decided to help.”

“But out of so many students Burke International has helped, you only treated Nichole differently.”

Seeing Sophie’s expression, James thought she was jealous. He took Sophie’s hand and said, “When Isaw her in her school uniform, giving water to a stray cat, I developed a sudden soft spot for her. Afterasking, I found out she was one of the students Burke International was supporting, so I paid a bit moreattention to her.”

Sophie lowered her gaze. His reason was the same as in her, past life.

“I just thought she had potential. If she could work at Burke International in the future, it would be likenurturing a fine talent for the company. But I didn’t expect her to grow up and become complicated. I’vealready cut off all support for her. You can rest assured. I won’t have any involvement with heranymore.”

Sophie saw the sincerity in James‘ eyes, feeling no more fluctuations in her heart.

Fortunately, she still managed to learn something useful from James. Nichole was talented, from astruggling family, of good character, and had a positive image.

At a glance, Nichole seemed to fit these criteria. But according to Ada and Reece, Nichole was not thatsimple.

In the afternoon, Sophie returned to Russell Entertainment. Tricia placed the investigated information infront of her.novelbin

Sophie glanced at the documents in her hands. Tricia said, “This is Nichole’s personal file from NorthBay High School.”

Sophie opened the file, only to see the photo of another girl with a delicate appearance, not Nichole’s.

“Where’s Reece?”

“Reece is at the company. Due to public opinion, we gave him a few days off.”

“Have him come here.”

“Alright.”

Sophie studied the photo of the girl, then the personal information. It clearly stated that Nichole had amother, and her parents were divorced.

Sophie then took out Nichole’s file from the private girls‘ school and, upon seeing the personalinformation at the bottom, she realized that both Nicholes came from the same elementary and middleschool.

“Could it be that Nichole was impersonating someone else back then?”
