The Burke family was always strict, and James, having been raised single-handedly by Bea, did not even dodge in that moment.
Bea used all her strength in her swats, and in just a few hits, James was already covered in bruises.
Sophie watched coldly as James clenched his teeth, stubbornly refusing to utter a word of pain.
Finally, when the cane broke, Bea coldly asked, "Are you going to apologize or not?"
James remained silent.
Sophie knew his character well. Even after being beaten to this extent, he was unwilling to speak, which meant he wouldn't apologize.
Sophie said, "Grandma, please don't be angry anymore. I don't blame James. He's got to be hurt. We should call the doctor to have a look at him quickly."
Sophie put on a show of being understanding, which slightly calmed Bea's anger. As James' grandmother, how could she not know her grandson’s personality?
Getting an apology out of him was utterly impossible. It had all been a show for Sophie's benefit, just to calm her down.
Bea patted Sophie’s hand and said, "Good girl, from now on, I'll handle him for you. I promise, that woman will never step foot in the Burke family’s house again. You will be the only wife of his."
Sophie just smiled slightly.
James, kneeling on the floor, watched Sophie, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
It was getting dark, and Bea called for a doctor for James, then left.
