Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 341

James didn't want to argue with his grandmother, who had raised him, so he silently left the dinner party.

Bea stood still, digesting what James had just said. He had mentioned that Sophie was the reason for this collaboration.

"What does that mean?"

Bea was utterly confused. She looked at Nichole beside her and asked, "What did James mean by that?"

"I have no idea," Nichole's expression was grim. "It can't be. The Russell family can't be more formidable than us."

The Burke family was the undisputed leader of Devonport's business community. Everyone knew that.

The Russell family had long been on the decline. How could James say something like that?

"Mrs. Bea, you've disrupted all of Mr. Burke's plans today!" Colt couldn't help but speak up. He didn't elaborate further and then went to find James.

"Grandma Bea, don't take it to heart. It's all because... Ah!"

Before Nichole could finish, Bea slapped her across the face.

Nichole's complexion changed instantly. Bea gave her a cold look and said, "It's all because of you. You seduced James! How else could the Burke family be embroiled in such a scandal?"

Nichole was angry but could not speak out. After all, she wasn't married to James yet and still relied on Bea to help her.

Nichole bit her lip and said, "I know what happened between James and me was disgraceful, but James forced me that night. And now, I'm carrying the Burke family's child. We can't just leave the child without a family name."

Bea valued lineage above all. She calmed down a bit upon hearing this and said, "If Sophie had been the one with child, do you think you'd still matter?"
