Chapter 160 "Yes, madam." Sophie walked up to James, who seemed disinclined to speak, so she simply sat down opposite him and said, "You luredback here. What is it you want to talk about now?" "That piece of land in the old Industrial district, who did you really sell it to? Sophie couldn't help but laugh. "Haven't you already investigated it yourself?" Ever since the news had spread that the industrial district was set to be transformed into a green space, James had only asked her about it once and had not brought it up again.
She didn't believe for a second that James would let go of this opportunity so easily. He must have been conducting his own secretive investigations No doubt, James had received the false information she had intentionally leaked. His summarting her to ask again clearly indicated his dissatisfaction with the findings of his investigation.

It was just a false identity, and it was only natural that James couldn't find anything substantial.
"How would I know? Perhaps he's a businessman from abroad." Sophie changed the subject nonchalantly. "Did you really trickinto coming back just to askthis? If so, I don't have tfor these pointless questions." Sophie made a move to get up, but James, holding back his frustration as if making a concession, asked, "How long are you going to keep up this anger?" It had been three months since Sophie had left home, three months, and he had thought that giving her sspace would make her reconsider but he hadn't anticipated that she wouldn't budge this time.
"I'm not throwing a tantrum. Since you refuse to agree to a divorce, I have no choice but to force your hand.” As soon as Sophie said this, James anger erupted. "Sophie, do you really want this divorce? Do you love Colby that much?" "I've told you many times, it has nothing to do with Colby," "And you think I'd believe that?" James gripped Sophie's wrist tightly and said, "You want a divorce, and if it's not for Colby, then what is it for? Because Colby loves you. He can offer you money, and save the Russell family, right?" Sophie looked at the current state of James and found it ludicrous, “Yes, Colby loves me. He can providewith money, and offer better resources for the Russell family, so of course I can't wait to divorce you. Are you satisfied now?" *Sophie!" James was furious. His temper was usually under control, but lately, Sophie could easily provoke him. He struggled to suppress his anger and said, "So these past three months, you've been with Colby, haven't you?" All this time, he had secretly had people watching Sophie, but they were always intercepted by Colby's men, and his people hadn't even caught a glimpse of her.
This suspicion had been gnawing at him for three months. All he wanted now was an answer from Sophie. Sophie, observing the rage in James' eyes, scoffed. "What do you think?"
"Bitch!" James abruptly pushed Sophie away, causing her to fall back onto the couch, but she only felt exhilaration. Watching James' irate demeanor, she was reminded of the despair she had felt in her past life.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOriginally, for the sake of Nichole, James had not cared about her even when she was bleeding out on the operating table. His voice over the phone had been so calm, as if he wished she would just die. Sophie vividly remembered that all the type A blood had been diverted from the hospital. Other than James, no one else in the Devonport could have arranged that.
James was a murderer! To be with Nichole, he had not hesitated to kill his own wife, just to clear the way for Nichole to officially enter the Burke family.
Now, her mere normal interactions with Colby were something James couldn't let go of It Xurned out he too feared the idea of his wife being unfaithful, and he too had moments of explosive anger.
