Chapter 980 Chapter 980 "This is Bea from Burke International. Watch your mouth." Colt stood beside Bea, and as soon as the office staff saw him, they exchanged nervous glances and fell silent. Bea demanded, "Where have your people taken our James? Release him immediately! If this gets out of hand, it's not going to end well for either of us!" Bea was far from her usual composed self, looking more like a fierce tigress ready for a fight.

Just then, Officer Derick emerged from a corner, and upon seeing Bea, he approached with a forced smile, "Bea, what brings you here so late?" "James has been taken by your men. Why do you think I'm here?" "Ah, this is complicated. Mr. Burke assaulted Colby, and this is a serious matter. We owe an explanation to Colby and Mrs. Costello. Mr. Burke is currently in our interrogation room. If you wish to see him, I can arrange a meeting." "Colby? Who does he think he is, calling the shots around here? Our James would never do anything illegal; it must be Colby, that troublemaker, framing him!" Everyone knew what Colby was up to before, right? Framing someone like James would be a piece of cake for him.

At that moment, Sophie's voice cut through the tension from behind Bea.

"Framing? My husband is in the hospital because your grandson tried to hurt me. If it weren't for my husband, I'd be the one in that hospital bed." Sophie's tone was icier than usual, and Bea turned to see her, scoffing, "Oh, it's you! James gave up so much for you, even Burke International. How could he possibly think of killing you? This must be your and Colby's doing, trying to take over the Burke family!" Bea's resentment towards Sophie ran deep, but Sophie replied coldly, "Your grandson's violent attempt is a fact. Bea, you wouldn't be trying to interfere with the law, would you?" "The Burke family is one of the biggest taxpayers in Devonport, and James is the head of Burke International. It's natural for people to be jealous. I raised him myself, and know him best. If I say he wouldn't kill, then he wouldn't." "Officer Derick, you and your men saw James commit the act today, didn't you?" "We all did! Every one of us!" Officer Derick promptly confirmed.

Just as Bea was about to speak, Sophie added, "As the saying goes, 'the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' Bea if you've been involved in hiring someone to commit murder, it's no surprise your grandson, raised by you, would do something so heartless." "You!" Bea's face turned a deep shade of red.

Sophie continued, "What? Am I wrong? I have both the testimonies and the evidence. Surely, Bea, you En can't deny it?" Seeing Sophie's aggressive stance,

Colt leaned in and whispered to Bea, "With Sophie here today, implicating you in a murder for xire could make things a lot worse. Let's leave for now and cback for Mr. Burke first thing tomorrow."

Realizing the risk of her own actions being exposed, Bea could only say, "Fine, I won't argue with you heren today. But mark my words, when James is released, you'll regret this!" With that, Bea led Colt out of the police station. X
