Chapte Chapter 509 James watched as Sophie looped her arm through his, then naturally followed her to the dining table and addressed Bea, "Sophie's right. Grandma, you should consider moving back to your place. This house is small, and if Sophie decides to move back in, it would be inconvenient for you to be still here." Bea's aged face struggled to hide her displeasure at her grandson siding so staunchly with his wife.

However, James had already explained the stakes of their marriage to her the day before. Rather than seeing James marry the woman responsible for the death of her great-grandson, she preferred to see him reconcile with Sophie.

After all, Russell Enterprise had gone bankrupt, making Sophie, with no power, influence, or background, much easier for her to control. "Your return isn't something I welcomed with open arms, but since James is willing to rekindle his relationship with you, it's not my place to interfere too much. I just hope you can live well together without causing any scandals that would tamish the Burke family's reputation.” While saying this, Ben added, "Also, your job probably doesn't pay much. James and I have discussed providing you with an allowance so you can focus on staying hwithout having to work so hard. Since you two are truly in love, you might as well start a family soon. That would surely stabilize your mariage." After finishing. Bea cast a significant glance at Sophie. She was certain that Sophie's job at Magnatic Enterprises didn't pay more than a few thousand dollars a month. That amount was hardly sufficient for someone who used to live a lavish lifestyle.

If one wished to be a wealthy housewife, one must understand the sacrifices involved.

Sophie smiled and asked, "Grandma Bea, how much were you planning to give me?" "Five hundred thousand dollars a month. You won't need to go out, and that should be enough" "Five hundred thousand... That's hardly sufficient." Sophie, cradling her chin, gazed affectionately at James beside her and said, “James givesa million dollars a month, and he supports my decision to work." "What?" Hearing about her grandson's extravagant promise, Bea immediately turned to James, asking stemly "James, is this true?" James knew Sophie was doing this on purpose, but he said, "Sophie enjoys working, so let her do what she loves. Grandma, you don't heed to worry about this." "How can I not worry? I'm at an age where I want to see my grandchildren. You never tellanything before doing it!" Bea was beside herself with frustration.

Sophie smiled and said, "Don't be upset. This is a matter betweenand James. We've already put it in writing when we reconciled that we're not planning on having children." James suddenly choked on a spoonful of soup, and upon hearing this, Bea nearly fainted, exclaiming. "Not planning on James, how could you agree to such a thing!" Sophie, resting her chin on her hand, continued eating while watching Bea's reaction with satisfaction, James rubbed his temples and said, “Grandma, please, let's just eat.” "Eat? How can I eat at a tlike this?" Bea couldn't hold back any longer. With a fierce glance at Sophie, she left the living room with Marian's assistance.

Now, only Sophie and James remained in the living room. Sophie's demeanor returned to its usual aloofness as she put down her cutlery, saying. Im done eating" As she turned to leave, James caught her hand, saying, “Cwithto a place." Sophie fell silent.

James got up, took the car keys, and led Sophie out of the Burke family home.

During the car ride, Sophie remained quiet while James said, "I don't plan on letting Grandma know about our divorce. I hope you can keep it a secret, and she's getting on in years..." "Mr. Burke, whatever you want to say, I understand" Sophie replied coolly. "Ishe doesn't provoke me, I won't provoke her either." "Alright" James parked the car in front of the main Burke family mansion.

Sophie glanced at the building and asked, "Why have you broughthere?"

"As the Burke family's w you daughter-in-law, you were om supposed to pay bects to my parents on the day of our wedding!" know" Sophie turned her gaze away.

09.25 In her previous life, James had never acknowledged her as his wife, so this step was skipped on their wedding day.

James led Sophie Into the Burke family mansion, a building whose history was too old to trace, having toyed been renovated countless times over the decades.

Sophie couldn't help but think of the secrets of the four major families.

Unfortunately, they family was a newcomer and likely had no lies to the ancient clans. As Sophie pondered this, James had already led her to a room on the top floor.

The room was adorned with photos of James' parents and grandfather, and two wooden plaques hung above them.

Sophie asked curiously. "Are those your great-grandparents?" X
