Chapter 425
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Sophie turned and left the mall, leaving James feeling nothing but exhausted as he rubbed his temples.
He asked in a low voice, "Who let the news out?"
"It seems to be Ms. Calla."
Colt hesitated for a moment. Only a few people in the company knew about his arrangements for the venue, the selection of gifts, and the planning of the birthday party. He hadn't expected the news to reach Calla's ears.
Watching Sophie walk away, James asked, "Do you think I really have no chance left?"
"Mr. Burke..."
Even in that moment, he had never seen a hint of himself in Sophie's eyes. However, when Sophie spoke of that dream, her eyes did reveal a touch of bitterness and acceptance.
Outside the mall, Sophie regretted not driving away when she had the chance. Now, here she was on the busiest commercial street in Devonport, wondering where she could catch a cab home.
The next second, a Porsche appeared out of nowhere in front of Sophie.
Before Sophie could collect her thoughts, the car window rolled down, and there sat Colby with an untamed look on his face. "Get in."
Sophie didnât hesitate and took the passenger seat next to Colby.
Sophie asked, "How did you know I was here?"
Colby's face was devoid of smiles. Almost petulantly, he pressed the car's radio button.
'In todayâs news, Burke International's CEO, James, has spared no expense in an attempt to win back his wife, organizing a birthday celebration for her in the cityâs most bustling shopping district...'
"The news got out fast." Sophie couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "It seems like the incident with Bea will be all over the news soon."
"Feeling hurt?"
Sophie raised an eyebrow, "Not really. Bea's words didnât get to me."
A faint, almost imperceptible smile appeared on Colby's face. "Buckle up. I'm taking you somewhere."
"Okay."
Meanwhileâ
Jenna and Adler arrived at the mall in a hurry, only to find the cleaning staff in full force, tidying up the place.
Jenna and Adler exchanged glances before Adler stepped forward to ask, "Ma'am, is it over?"
"You're too late! It ended half an hour ago!"
Hearing the cleaning lady's words, Jenna kicked Adler in frustration. "It's all your fault! I told you to drive faster!"
"And now you're blaming me? We're half an hour late! Unless I rode a rocket here, we were bound to be late!"
"You! Youâre still talking back?" Jenna grabbed Adler's ear, saying, "If James ran off with my sister-in-law, I..."
"Sigh, he wonât run away. Not long after it started, the Burke familyâs old lady came over and caused a scene. Look at us, having to clean up again."
Hearing the cleaning ladyâs words, a sliver of joy crossed Jenna and Adlerâs faces.
"The Burke familyâs old lady?"
"Came to cause a scene?"
"That's great!"
They were in perfect agreement.
Jenna said, "Letâs go find Colby right now! Weâll book a restaurant for Sophie!"
"Don't worry, I'll arrange a luxury presidential suite later, making sure everything's set!"
"No more words!"
"Let's get to it!"
Jenna and Adler split up, starting preparations to celebrate Sophieâs birthday.
