Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 458

Vanessa was still nervously watching Shirley, waiting for Shirley to plunge the sharp knife into Sophie's neck.

However, the knife in Shirley's hand dropped.

As soon as Shirley ceased her threats, security immediately rushed over to pull her away.

Sophie took two steps back, and James hurried forward, inspecting Sophie for injuries, only to discover a notable red mark on Sophie's collarbone.

At that moment, James froze.

Sophie adjusted her clothes and said, "I'm alright, thank you, Mr. Burke."

Sophie and James kept a safe distance, but Vanessa's expression was far from pleasant. Her gaze was fixed on Shirley, who had been apprehended.

Why hadn't Shirley's knife pierced Sophie's neck?

Shirley coldly looked back at Vanessa as if seeing right through Vanessa's vile intentions.

A flicker of panic crossed Vanessa's face. She had never considered what would happen if Sophie didn't die and Shirley implicated her.

Now that Shirley hadn't harmed Sophie, her words, whether accusatory or not, would raise suspicions and might alert Sophie to the truth.

"Mr. Burke, what should we do with her?"

James spoke coldly to the security, "Take her away to the police station."

"Wait," Sophie interrupted. "Leave her. I want to speak to her later."

Sophie's gaze unintentionally rested on Vanessa.

Vanessa's heart skipped a beat, sensing from Sophie's look that she might already know Shirley was acting under instructions.

"Let's do as you say."

James had Shirley taken backstage, but Vanessa became uneasy and approached with concern. "Mrs. Burke, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

When Vanessa reached for her hand, Sophie merely glanced at it and then withdrew her hand, saying, "Thank you for your concern."

"Come with me." James took Sophie away.

Standing not far off, Ricardo watched the scene with a slight frown. His assistant asked, "Mr. Ricardo, the filming has stopped. Should we head back?"

With the chaos that had ensued, they certainly couldn't continue filming today.

Ricardo took a deep breath and said, "You go and investigate. I want results tonight."

"Yes, Mr. Ricardo."
