Officer Derek still had to show James some respect. He glanced at the silent Colby beside him and said, "Mr. Burke, it's not that I don't want to show you respect, but..."
His implication was clear. James turned his cold gaze towards Colby, stating, "Who really runs Devonport, Officer Derek? You better think carefully."
Colby's response was indifferent, "Devonport might have been under your control in the past, James, but from now on, it's all me."
The atmosphere between the two men was subtly tense.
At that moment, Sophie's phone suddenly buzzed with a few incoming photos. Upon seeing them, her eyes chilled instantly, and her look towards James was filled with disgust, "Mr. Burke, is this your doing?"
James was clueless about what had happened.
Sophie picked up her phone, and the content of the photos was unmistakably clear.
In them, Sophie was seen with her clothes torn, unconscious in a dimly lit room. The images were suggestive, causing James to furrow his brows in confusion, "This wasn’t me, Sophie."
"Enough!" Sophie spoke coldly, "Mr. Burke, you think you can intimidate me with these photos?"
"I..."
Colby took Sophie's phone, and upon seeing the content, his expression instantly darkened.
Bea sneered, "Sophie, don’t pin your family's issues on the Burkes. James is standing right here. You know very well who sent you those pictures."
As the situation escalated, Colt immediately interjected, "Madam! This has nothing to do with Mr. Burke. It must be a misunderstanding."
