Chapter 321 Colby spoke in a deep voice, "You did nothing wrong. When dealing with such people, you can never afford to be too kind or too lenient." Sophie understood in her heart. When Isaac had tried to kill her before, she had already shown mercy once. Now, Jessica and her son even made their move against Perry. This made all her previous acts of kindness seem like a joke.
Colby took Sophie's slightly trembling hand, softening his voice for once, "Trust me, nothing will happen." Colby was always rebellious and indifferent, showing interest in hardly anything. Yet, at this moment, Sophie could hear an unusual tenderness in his tone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPeople always said Colby was a grim reaper who had walked out of hell itself, leaving a trail of brutality and bloodshed wherever he went, but in her eyes, Colby always had a gentle and tender gaze, even though 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've investigated thoroughly. Those photos must have been Isaac's doing." James looked at the computer screen, which showed Isaac escorting Sophie to her room and then sneaking out of the hotel room. There couldn't be another suspect but Isaac.
As James remained silent, Colt couldn't help asking, "Mr. Burke, today's incident clearly had nothing to do with you. Why did you take the blame? Doesn't this just make Mrs. Burke dislike you more?" "It's better she hatesthan treatslike a stranger." James regained his composure and said to Colt, "Go to the Russell family and find Isaac. I will take care of this personally." Colt was startled, "Mr. Burke?" Over the years, James never got involved in underhanded dealings because the head of the Burke family needed to be above reproach. Otherwise, if caught, it could lead to their downfall.
"Mr. Burke, lethandle 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 seeing anyone 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. I was this very misconception that had once made him show mercy towards Nichole. He would not make that mistake a second time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ms. Calla, letwarn you, there is only one Mrs. Burke. If you don'tm understand that I won't hesitate to make you disappear as well." James' voice was cold.
Calla boldly stepped forward, "Bea has already acknowledgedas the future wife of yours. That is a fact.
m Currently, the public is nƒe with speculation that you attempted to assault Sophie. Though you were released today, it doesn't stop the rumors. At this time, as the future Mrs. Burke, it is necessary forto 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't think 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."
