Chapter 221 The evening had already set in by the tSophie drove back to the Burke mansion. As expected, Bea was sitting on the sofa, looking rather displeased.

"Grandma Bea, where's James?" Sophie thought Bea would call James back home, but it seemed like Bea wanted to have a one-on-one talk with her.

"He is still in a meeting. I asked him to cback later." Sophie remained silent beside her.

Bea said, "I heard from Marian that lately, you've hardly been at home, and even when you are, you leave after just a short while. What is it? Have you found somewhere else to live?" There was a hint of accusation in Bea's tone.

Sophie smiled and replied, "I thought I shouldn't stay idle, so I went out and found a job." "Ridiculous!" Bea was indeed furious. She said coldly. "You are the daughter of the Russell family and James' wife! You should be aware of your status. How can you just show yourself in public like this? If you go out to work and others find out, what will they think of the Burke family? It would disgrace both our family and yours!" Sophie didn't get angry. Bea was bom into high society and had never worked a day in her life, but she already had enough money to last several generations. How could she ever fear running out of money? Sophie had thought the sin her past life, believing that with the backing of the Russell family and marrying James, she would have a worry-free life.

But she couldn't rely on the Russell family, and James was even less reliable! Having experienced the desperation of poverty, she would never allow herself to go through it again. Sophie pulled up a chair and sat opposite Bea, who was taken aback that Sophie dared to sit before her. With a smile still on her face, Sophie explained, "Bea, please don't be angry. I'm only working in our family business and managing our company. There's nothing shameful about it. What you should be worried about is notbut James. After all, S Corporation has squeezed Burke International out of several projects, leading to significant losses. I'm working to also better support our family." Bea frowned. "What do you mean by that? S Corporation? I've lived more than half my life and never heard of it! How could it possibly push the Burke family out of several projects? Even if this small company has its moment and causes losses for Burke International, we can afford it! We don't need you to work to support us." Sophie smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I know Burke International is a major enterprise. A few hundred million in losses is nothing much, not a big deal." "What did you say? A few hundred million?” Bea thought she heard wrong.

Sophie pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, a few hundred million. You didn't know?" Bea suddenly swayed, her shaky stature revealing her inner turmoil. "How can we lose so much money? What exactly happened?" "It's said that S Corporation opened a commercial street, disrupting Burke International's new commercial mall plan and leading to its opening without any visitors. Moreover, James had cut off several companies that had partnerships with Burke International, ending their collaborations. Those companies turned to S Corporation to collaborate on many projects in the sindustry..."

Sophie watched Bea's expression, smiling as she said, "Think about it, Bea. Devonport is only so big, and there's only so myck Initially, Nammuk market share. Initially, Names had a monopoly, but now S Corporation has taken a large portion. How could Burke International's losses be small? When I say a few hundred million, it's just an estimate. It might even be more in the future." Bea's face turned pale.

At that moment, the sound of the door opening could be heard.

James had just walked in when Bea rushed up to him and slapped him. across the face. Tell me! How much has the company lost now?"

James felt the full force of the slap, and when he looked up at Sophie and saw the slight smile on her face, he knew she had spilled the beans.
