Calla glanced at Sophie, a hint of smugness in her eyes.
Sophie couldn't help but let out a cold laugh. It seemed that Bea had agreed to some terms with Calla. With that confident look on Calla's face, it wouldn't be long before she realized her dreams and became Mrs. Burke.
"Stop right there."
Colby, out of the blue, halted Bea in her tracks. Bea, puzzled, turned around and looked at Colby with disdain, "What? You are just a bastard of the Costello family. Think you can lecture me?"
"You're right."
Colby's seemingly casual words stirred a storm in Sophie's heart. Bea was an elder, a well-respected figure in Devonport.
This was a different kind of war from the one men fought in the business world. This was their women's affair, yet Colby was still willing to stand up for her.
Bea glanced at Colby and then at Sophie, saying, "Oh, I see now, birds of a feather flock together. So, Sophie, you've betrayed James, haven't you? Climbing up the social ladder by getting close to Colby, is that it? No wonder you're so keen on divorce. You think you've caught a bigger fish."
"Bea, I respect you as my elder, which is why I've always given you some leeway, but don't push it. If you go too far, I won't hold back."
In her past life, Sophie had given her all to Bea, only to end up with nothing.
The Burke family were inherently cold.
She had previously refrained from confronting Bea out of respect for her age, but that didn't mean Bea could insult her at will.
"I'd like to see how you plan to deal with me. Do you think the Burke family is easy to mess with? If you touch me, James will never let you off." After saying this, Bea dragged Calla towards the police station.
Sophie turned her head towards Colby, saying, "You weren't really planning on getting physical, were you?"
