Chapter 180
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
James' expression was frozen on his face.
Sophie said, "You didn't call me back just to apologize, did you?"
James said nothing.
"So, it really is to apologize."
"Sophie, you..."
James looked uncomfortable. He was always proud and never bowed to anyone. His admission that he had wronged Sophie was already a significant concession.
Trying to remain calm, James said, "Iâm sorry. I should have accused you. Itâs not a big deal thought, just a girlâs embarrassment leading her to falsely accuse Harold."
Before James could finish, Sophie chuckled lightly, "So that's how it is."
James pursed his lips.
Sophie continued, "How could you apologize out of the blue? It's about Nichole, isnât it?"
"I..."
"You want me to plead Nicholeâs case with the Aldridge family?"
James didn't speak.
"If it's about that, I'm afraid I can't help. I donât have such influence to make Mr. Gordon listen to me."
"That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean? Or do you want me to speak directly to Harold?"
"I didnât want you to plead for Nichole."
James looked up, about to explain, but seeing Sophie's indifferent gaze, he stopped himself. What was there to explain? No matter what he said, Sophie wouldnât believe him.

"If we have nothing else to discuss, may I leave?"
"Where are you going?"
The question made James' heart skip a beat, "Back to the Aldridge family?"
"My injury is healed. Iâm going back to my apartment. School is starting soon, and I have internship tasks to attend to. I donât have time to run between homes."
Sophie turned to leave, but James suddenly asked, "What is your relationship with S Corporation?"
Sophie turned around, clearly exasperated, "James, are you just making conversation? What relationship could I possibly have with S Corporation?
All I did was make a bad deal once, selling them a piece of land, and youâre still holding onto that. Do you think I'm the hidden owner of S Corporation?"
Reflecting on her words, James stepped forward and asked, "Were you at the Aldridge family all evening today?"
"Youâve asked me that before, and your people should have told you, I havenât left the Aldridge family these past few days."
Having received Sophieâs answer, James fell into deep thought. He had intended to meet the mysterious Blake rumored to be at tonightâs masquerade ball, but ended up noticing nothing.
Watching Sophie, he couldnât discern any clues from her expression either.
"Instead of suspecting me here, you might as well focus on running your company. I heard itâs been hit quite hard since S Corporation went public."
James retorted coldly, "Itâs just a newly company. Any impact on Burke International is minimal."
Sophie shrugged indifferently, "Perhaps."
But if there truly was no serious impact, James wouldnât have appeared at tonightâs masquerade ball.
It just goes to show, James was stubborn to the end.
Sophie turned to leave, but James' voice followed her from behind.
