Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 450

"What did you say? Nichole isn't the Freeman family's daughter?"

Inside the bedroom, Marian revealed this news to Bea.

Bea frowned and asked, "Where did you hear this from?"

"Well, it's all rumors from outside. I also find it unlikely, but people are talking. After all, Ms. Nichole is carrying Mr. Burke's child. Sooner or later, we'll have to acknowledge her status. We can't let a woman with an unclear background enter the Burke family."

Marian's words struck a chord with Bea.

Everything else was manageable, but status was of utmost importance. If today they welcomed the daughter from the Freeman family into their home, and it later turned out that she was a fake, the Burke family would face another embarrassment.

"Alright, you go now and send an invitation to the Freeman family on my behalf, saying I invite Mr. Briggs to dine at the Regent Hotel tomorrow night."

"Yes, Madam."

Marian quickly left and secretly texted Sophie the news.

Upon seeing the message from Marian on her phone, Sophie's face bore a slight smile.

She had already inquired about Nichole's background from Katy. Bea invited Mr. Briggs for a meeting. It was within Sophie's expectations.

But before that, she wanted to meet Mr. Briggs herself.

Since Nichole wished to enter the Burke family's door by leveraging the Freeman family heiress status and the child in her womb, she would shatter Nichole's hopes, ensuring Nichole and the Burke family remained estranged.

That night, Sophie arranged to meet Mr. Briggs at the Regent Hotel.

Mr. Briggs arrived promptly, his expression filled with impatience, clearly not fond of Sophie.

After all, his daughter was carrying Sophie’s husband's child. Which father would be happy about that?

He wouldn't have come if it hadn't been for Sophie claiming this matter concerned his daughter.

Mr. Briggs sat down and asked, "Ms. Sophie, what do you want?"

"Mr. Briggs, I know you are Nichole's father, and it's normal for you to be hostile towards me. But I invited you here to help your daughter."

"Help my daughter?" Mr. Briggs scoffed angrily, "You have bullied my daughter, and you have the nerve to say this!"

"I'm not the one bullying your daughter. I have already decided on a divorce, but the Burke family is indecisive, so I can't do much."
