Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 339 "Grandma, you shouldn't even be here today.

James frowned deeply. On such an occasion, Bea could come, but bringing Nichole along was a mistake! "It's a big day of collaboration between the Burke and Russell families. How could I possibly not be here?" Bea glanced at the executives of the Russell family present, her superior demeanor making everyone uneasy.

Bea had always been like this, self-proclaimed and living in the glory days of the Burke family, believing that no one dared to disrespect her or cross her family But times s were changing. Now, in Devonport, the Burke family no longer reigned supreme.

"Bea, don't you think bringing this woman to such an occasion is inappropriate?" "Ms. Sophie is still standing here. Are you really not taking the Russell family seriously!" "This isn't a collaboration. It looks more like you're trying to humiliate us!" The murmurs around them gradually increased. Still, Bea stood there as if unaware of doing anything wrong.

Sophie understood that Bea was trying to intimidate her and the Russell family as well. But it was too indecent. With reporters around, tomorrow's headlines would scream about how the Burke family bullied the Russell family.

Moreover Bea brought along Nichole, who was pregnant.

Once public opinion sided against them, the Burke family would inevitably be labeled as cold-hearted oppressors, Such a negative impact would not be easy to dissipate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Burke family sincerely wishes to collaborate with the Russell family, with no intention of humiliation." Colt spoke up timely, but before he could finish, Reece slowly said, "I also believe that Burke International has no intention of insulting Russell Enterprises. The whole family coming to celebrate our collaboration shows Burke International's regard for this partnership. It's clearly a warm welcto us." Reece then looked at Sophie and said, "Ms. Sophie, don't you agree?" The media cameras turned to Sophie, who frowned slightly, her expression somewhat indifferent.

She spoke in a neutral tone, "Ms. Nichole should be resting at hsince she's pregnant. There really is no need for such a grand appearance." The air was filled with tension.

Everyone present knew that James and Sophie had not divorced.

Bea brought along the pregnant mistress, and now Sophie and the mistress were confronting each other head- on, making for a gossip-filled scene "Nichole is the future daughter-in-law of the Burke family. It's natural for her to be here on such an occasion." Bea had spoken, and her words immediately captured everyone's attention, the camera flashes nearly blinding Sophie raised an eyebrow, taking in Nichole's smug expression as if she had found a backer. It's simply amusing, Disaster was looming and she still hadn't got a hint of crisis awareness.

She wondered where all the money James had spent on Nichole over the years had gone.

To think she had lost to a woman like Nichole in her past life was indeed a great shame.

"Bang-1 Chapter 340 Suddenly, the sound of a wine glass shattering echoed from the side.

The manager of Russell Enterprises glared at Ben with fury, exclaiming. "The Burke family in going too fart James, you cheat within your maninge, hooked up a college student, and even got her pregnant. Before the divoron is finalized, you bring your mistress to the dinner, which is meant to celebrate the collaboration between our familien. What in the meaning of this?" "Yeah! The Incident of Ms. Sophie falling overboard hasn't even been cleared up yet. Who knows if it was the Burke family's doing to welcthe mistress into the fold on purpose?" "If it wasn't for Ms. Sophie, do you think we'd be willing to collaborate with you?" "And now you deliberately organize a dinner to vaniliate un. Does the Burke family have no share?!" Voices of protest rose and fell around them.

Sophie merely observed the unfolding with a calm demeanor. In her view, if the situation didn't escalate, it would indeed be a disservice to her careful planning.

James' gaze landed on Sophie, and he immediately cto his senses, realizing she had orchestrated everything on purpose.

Colt was also struggling to maintain control of the situation. He knew Mr. Burke wanted to use the dinner to mend his relationship with his wife and to leverage the media to create news of the couple's harmonious relationship to stabilize public perception.

But he hadn't anticipated Bea to suddenly bring Nichole to the event, completely disrupting Mr. Burke's plans and exacerbating the conflict with the Russell family. The event plunged into chaos.

At this moment, Bea looked even more displeased. She hadn't expected her words to provoke such outrage, as no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a manner before! For a moment, she was flustered.

As the situation had almost reached its peak, Sophie slowly rose from her chair, walked to the center of the hall, and addressed the crowd, "I think there's no longer any point in attending this dinner." The executives from Russell Enterprises stood behind Sophie as if to support her.

James then realized something.

Somehow, Sophie had gained control over the entire Russell family. She was no longer the woman who merely followed him around.

Sophie smiled slightly and said, "Since the Burke family lacks sincerity, there's no need for this no collaboration. Mr. Burke, let's proceed with the divorce as soon as possible.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be troubleswhen it's tfor the child's birth." Sophie's words were loaded with meaning.

James pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed on Sophie as if trying to find a trace of her love for him on her face.

Sophie waved her hand, signaling the people behind her. "Let's go."

The executives from Russell Enterprises all followed Sophie, and in a moment, the majority of them guests hadeft the banquet hall. Reece was the last to leave, giving James a look filled with mockery, ridicule, and a hint of teasing. James' expression turned even sourer.

Bea angrily said, "The Russell family is full of barbarians! James, you shouldn't have pitied them and m te collaborated with them! They show no gratitude and even walked out on us! If you ask me, we should terminate this collaboration, and you should divorce Sophie as soon as possible!" "Grandma, don't you understand yet?" "What?" James turned to Bea, saying, "Sophie was doinga favor with this collaboration."
