Chapter 267
Late at night, James stormed back to the Burke household, shoving open the grand doors with a surgeof anger.
Bea had already gone to bed. She heard the noise at the entrance and asked Calla to help her walk tothe door.
As soon as they reached the living room, Bea saw James with a dark expression on his face. Shefrowned slightly and asked, “What’s going on?”
“Come here!” James stepped forward and grabbed Calla, looking fierce..
Calla had never seen James so furiously angry, and was scared out of her wits. “James! What are youdoing?”
“How can you be so evil? Have you squandered those money?!”
James looked menacing while Calla shook her head desperately, saying, “James, this has nothing todo with me. Really, you have to believe me…”
“Believe you?” James‘ eyes narrowed dangerously as he said, “Sophie fell overboard and hasn’t beenfound yet! If she’s dead, I’ll make your family pay!”
Calla looked distressed, but Bea suddenly spoke up, saying, “Enough!”
Bea took a deep breath and said, “What does this have to do with Calla? She doesn’t have theauthority to change financial transactions.
I ordered it.”
In an instant, James‘ strength seemed to drain away. “Grandma, what do you mean by that?”
“My foolish boy, even if Sophie is the precious daughter of the Russell family and has contributed toBurke International, she’s not worth ten billion dollars!” Bea said coldly, “I think Sophie has cloudedyour judgment. As the head of Burke International, you need to consider the corporation’s welfare andnot sacrifice it for one woman!”
James‘ voice turned hoarse. “Grandma, do you know how important Sophie is to me?”
*Of course, I do! Didn’t you also love Nichole to the point of death as well? You constantly defied me forher sake. But now?” Bea sat down on the sofa and said, “Once your novelty wears off, you’ll stopcaring about Sophie. I’m speaking from experience and only want what’s best for you.”
“What’s best for me?” James stepped back, his expression of despair slowly turning cold.novelbin

“Grandma, if anything happens to Sophie, I might as well not live.”

Bea furrowed her brows at James‘ words, “James, are you threatening me?”
James‘ voice grew colder. “You know I mean what I say.”
“You…”
James turned to Colt, standing behind him, and ordered, “Deploy all of the Burke’s resources to findSophie now. We need to see her, dead or alive!”
“Yes, Mr. Burke.”
Hearing this, Bea’s expression soured, “James! You stop right there! Come back!”
No matter how much Bea called out, James didn’t look back.
but
Bea’s face turned grim. “He doesn’t even listen to me now! Sophie really is a curse. We never shouldhave allowed her to marry into the Burke family!”
