Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 120

Nichole just wanted to leave quickly, but Krystal grabbed her hand, deliberately saying, "Don't go, isn't he your boyfriend? He's flirting with that other woman right in front of you. As your best friend, we definitely need to stand up for you."

"Krystal is right. We'll take you over there to confront him."

Tina and Krystal exchanged a look, clearly relishing the drama of catching the cheater in the act.

Nichole shook her head desperately. She absolutely couldn't go over there now!

Nearby, as James approached, the atmosphere seemed to drop with him, yet Sophie seemed oblivious. "Oh, isn't that Nichole? James, why aren't you with Ms. Nichole? She looks a bit upset."

James' face darkened. At this moment, she still wanted him to care about Nichole.

Jenna gave James a nasty look, and Harold added, "I just saw Mr. Burke walking in holding another woman's hand. I thought maybe the Burke family had a new lady. Mrs. Burke, why are you all alone when Mr. Burke is still here?"

Harold's casual comment was tinged with sarcasm. Sophie just smiled slightly, showing no intention of giving James an easy out.

Seeing this, James got irritated and grabbed Sophie's arm, pulling her closer. He said coldly, "Sophie is my wife, and she will stay as my wife."

Sophie frowned, and everyone around fell silent.

Even for Sophie, James' declaration felt too assertive. She certainly hadn't planned to be his wife for her entire life.

"Nichole! Nichole, what happened to you?" Suddenly, Krystal's cry drew attention to their side.

James turned to see Nichole collapsing into Krystal's arms, her face deathly pale. Ignoring Sophie beside him, James quickly stepped forward, scooping Nichole into his arms. "Colt! Call a doctor! Now!"
