Chapter 848
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
In the heart of Burke International's family estate in Devonport, Bea glared at the security guards posted at the entrance. âHow long does James plan to keep me cooped up here?â
One of the guards replied, âMr. Burke said you can leave anytime, but we must accompany you.â
That response only stoked Bea's frustration. She was Jamesâ grandmother, yet she couldn't even walk out the door freely.
âEveryone, step aside.â
Colt strode through the grand gates of the Burke Estate, and the guards immediately parted for him.
âColt, finally! Where's James?â
Since yesterday, James had gone silent, not replying to her messages. How could he ignore the grandmother who raised him, all for a woman?
âMaâam, I was just about to tell you. Mr. Burke hasnât been to the office since yesterday. I checked his flight detailsâhe flew overseas last night without a word to me!â
âWhat?â
Bea was stunned. âWhy on earth would he go overseas without saying a thing?â
When Colt hesitated, Bea quickly put two and two together. âIs it because of Sophie?â
â...Yes.â
âUnbelievable!â Beaâs face flushed with rage. âGallivanting after a woman and neglecting the family businessâhow did I end up with such a grandson?â
âHe wonât listen to me. Thatâs why Iâm asking you to go overseas and convince him to come back. Right now, Colby and the Pollard family are at each otherâs throats, and Iâm afraid Mr. Burke might do something reckless for Sophie!â
Colt's words chilled Bea to the bone. She had been trying to find a way to get rid of Sophie, but James seemed one step ahead, ensuring she was always under watch.
Now, the opportunity was right in front of her. Determined, Bea said, âBook me the earliest flight overseas.â
âYes, Maâam.â Colt quickly left the room.

ï¤Chapter 782 Marian, who had been watching from a corner, looked visibly unsettled.
Bea turned and saw Marian lurking. âGet my luggage ready. Iâm leaving for overseas immediately.â
Marian hesitated. âBea, you havenât left Devonport in decades. Itâs risky. Let me go with you...â
âNo need. I have old friends overseas. Iâll be fine.â
Bea glanced at Marian with a stern look. âIf you breathe a word about this trip, you can forget about working for the Burke family anymore!â
âI... I wouldnât dare...â
Bea scoffed. âIf it wasnât for your years of service, Iâd have kicked you out for helping Sophie those few times!â
Marianâs face paled. âBut Ms. Sophie is a good person. Didnât you like her a lot at first?â
âWhat good is a person if they donât listen?â
Bea said impatiently, âJust do what I told you and donât delay my flight.â
â...Yes, Maâam.â
