Chapter 654 This remark successfully furrowed Sophie's brow.
Reece immediately stepped in front of Sophie, saying in a calm and unhurried tone." Mr. Burke, it seems your taste has significantly declined since we last met." Then, Reece turned his gaze towards Nichole, implying, "I wonder what kind of tricks Ms. Nichole has used. It seems the elite circle is coincidentally too fond of you." Nichole smiled and said, “James and I are truly in love, and besides, we're already engaged. You might not have heard while you were at the police station, Mr. Reece, but Ms. Sophie and Mr. Colby have also gotten engaged, haven't they? However... when seeing you two alone together at this hour, it's hard not to think otherwise." Reece detested such pretentious women. At this moment, Tricia also sensed something was off. She got out of the car, ran up to Sophie and Reece, and said, “Mr. Reece, it's good you're out. Colby is still waiting in the car for both of you. Let's get going." Nichole immediately saw through Tricia's lie. She laughed and said, "I wondered who it might be, but it's just Tricia. Are you trying to cover for your boss? Mr. Colby is supposed to be getting engaged to Ms. Sophie. What kind of man would let his fiancée cout to meet another man alone in the middle of the night? Do you think anyone would believe your story?" "Ms. Nichole, you're being too presumptive," Tricia retorted.

Colby hadn't cout with her, but if Colby couldn't show up now, what kind of rumors would Burke International spread about her and Reece tomorrow? Reece couldn't afford to be slandered again.
At that moment, a figure emerged from the corner.
When Nichole saw the person coming towards them was Colby, her smile instantly froze.
Colby... Why was he here? "Why are you out so late? Didn't you know I was waiting for you?" Colby naturally wrapped his arms around Sophie's waist, and Sophie was startled. She didn't expect Colby to actually follow.
Colby caught a glimpse of James, who was arm-in-arm with Nichole, looking every bit the love-struck couple. Colby raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mr. Burke, just a few days and already a lovely wife by your side?" "Mr. Colby, you as well." James' response seemed merely polite, his eyes turning towards Nichole, filled with undeniable affection. "It's late. Let's go home." "Alright, let's." As the two prepared to leave, Colby suddenly said, "It seems Mr. Burke's lady had sunsavory words for my fiancée. I'm sure I didn't hear wrong, did I?" These words made the two stop in their tracks.

Whoever bullies my girl won't be let off easily. No matter who they are." "So, Mr. Colby, you mean to have Nichole apologize to Sophie?" James was clearly protective of Nichole.
The air around them seemed to freeze instantly. Colby continued) "Not just amapology, but a sincere one." "It sounds like you're not takingseriously?" "It seems you still have a sense of self-awareness."
Colby's lips curled into a smile, but his eyes didn't show a trace of M humor.
As James and Colby remained at an impasse, Nichole tugged at James' sleeve, looking vulnerable. James, let it be. It was my fault for speaking without thinking. I'll apologize to Ms. Sophie." Chapter 655
