Female NovelChapter 321
Colby spoke in a deep voice, “You did nothing wrong. When dealing with such people, you can neverafford to be too kind or too
lenient.”
Sophie understood in her heart. When Isaac had tried to kill her before, she had already shown mercyonce. Now, Jessica and her son even made their move against Perry. This made all her previous actsof kindness seem like a joke.
Colby took Sophie’s slightly trembling hand, softening his voice for once, “Trust me, nothing willhappen.”
Colby was always rebellious and indifferent, showing interest in hardly anything. Yet, at this moment,Sophie could hear an unusual
tenderness in his tone.
People always said Colby was a grim reaper who had walked out of hell itself, leaving a trail of brutalityand bloodshed wherever he went, but in her eyes, Colby always had a gentle and tender gaze, eventhough he pretended to be indifferent and unwilling to get close
to anyone.
Meanwhile, in the study of the Burke family, Colt reported to James, who was sitting at the desk, “I’veinvestigated thoroughly. Those photos must have been Isaac’s doing.”
James looked at the computer screen, which showed Isaac escorting Sophie to her room and thensneaking out of the hotel room. There couldn’t be another suspect but Isaac.novelbin
As James remained silent, Colt couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Burke, today’s incident clearly had nothing todo with you. Why did you take the blame? Doesn’t this just make Mrs. Burke dislike you more?”
“It’s better she hates me than treats me like a stranger.”
James regained his composure and said to Colt, “Go to the Russell family and find Isaac. I will takecare of this personally.”
Colt was startled, “Mr. Burke?”
Over the years, James never got involved in underhanded dealings because the head of the Burkefamily needed to be above reproach. Otherwise, if caught, it could lead to their downfall.
“Mr. Burke, let me handle this matter.”
James gave Colt a cold glance, “I don’t want to repeat myself.”
“Yes, Mr. Burke.”
Outside the door, Calla overheard the conversation and nervously knocked.
Colt opened the door to the study, frowning when he saw Calla, “Ms. Calla, Mr. Burke is not seeinganyone right now.”
“James, I have something I need to talk to you about.”
Calla’s voice was timid, her eyes always giving off an impression of innocence and goodness. It wasthis very misconception that had once made him show mercy towards Nichole. He would not make thatmistake a second time.
“Ms. Calla, let me warn you, there is only one Mrs. Burke. If you don’t understand that, I won’t hesitateto make you disappear as well.” James‘ voice was cold.
Calla boldly stepped forward, “Bea has already acknowledged me as the future wife of yours. That is afact. Currently, the public is rife with speculation that you attempted to assault Sophie. Though youwere released today, it doesn’t stop the rumors. At this time, as the future Mrs. Burke, it is necessaryfor me to step forward and help you through this crisis.”
Calla was convinced that these words were enough to make James reconsider.
One was the century–old foundation of the Burke family, and the other was just a woman. She didn’tthink anyone would choose a woman over their future.
James suddenly laughed after Calla’s speech.
Calla was puzzled, “James, what are you laughing at?”
“I’m laughing, because I never said it was going to be you.”
