Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 339

"Grandma, you shouldn’t even be here today."

James frowned deeply. On such an occasion, Bea could come, but bringing Nichole along was a mistake!

"It's a big day of collaboration between the Burke and Russell families. How could I possibly not be here?"

Bea glanced at the executives of the Russell family present, her superior demeanor making everyone uneasy.

Bea had always been like this, self-proclaimed and living in the glory days of the Burke family, believing that no one dared to disrespect her or cross her family.

But times were changing. Now, in Devonport, the Burke family no longer reigned supreme.

"Bea, don't you think bringing this woman to such an occasion is inappropriate?"

"Ms. Sophie is still standing here. Are you really not taking the Russell family seriously!"

"This isn't a collaboration. It looks more like you're trying to humiliate us!"

The murmurs around them gradually increased. Still, Bea stood there as if unaware of doing anything wrong.

Sophie understood that Bea was trying to intimidate her and the Russell family as well. But it was too indecent. With reporters around, tomorrow's headlines would scream about how the Burke family bullied the Russell family.

Moreover, Bea brought along Nichole, who was pregnant.

Once public opinion sided against them, the Burke family would inevitably be labeled as cold-hearted oppressors.

Such a negative impact would not be easy to dissipate.

"Nichole is the future daughter-in-law of the Burke family. It's natural for her to be here on such an occasion." Bea had spoken, and her words immediately captured everyone's attention, the camera flashes nearly blinding.

Sophie raised an eyebrow, taking in Nichole's smug expression as if she had found a backer. It’s simply amusing.

Disaster was looming and she still hadn’t got a hint of crisis awareness.

She wondered where all the money James had spent on Nichole over the years had gone.

To think she had lost to a woman like Nichole in her past life was indeed a great shame.

"Bang—!"
