"Mr. Burke?"
"Do you think that what's lost is lost forever?"
When he saw the red marks on Sophie's neck, his mind was flooded with images.
Colby kissing her neck, their bodies entwined in bed while confessing their love for one another.
Every time he thought of this scene, his heart ached unbearably.
"Mr. Burke..."
"Go start the car." James said indifferently, "I'll be fine."
He was the head of the Burke family. How could the head of the Burke family ever be in trouble? In front of others, he always had to appear perfect.
In the past, only Sophie could stir his emotions, but from today onwards, no one could.
"Yes... Mr. Burke."
The show was forced to a halt due to this incident. The production entered a period of reorganization and even delayed the recording schedule.
Sophie took Shirley to the empty conference room of Aldridge Global.
Shirley said, "You promised you'd ensure I'd be safe as long as I let you go!"
"That's right. I keep my promises."
"Then why did you call me here?"
"I want you to expose Vanessa."
"What?" Shirley frowned, "Vanessa's family is powerful. You told me that. If I do this, you're putting me in danger!"
Sophie smiled slightly. "I know, but I can pay the penalty fee you owe. You can't count on Vanessa."
Shirley eyed Sophie skeptically. "You? Do you have that much money?"
"Believe it or not, you have no other choice but to follow my lead."
Shirley was silent for a moment. "I have one condition."
"Go on."
"I want to become a singer."
Hearing Shirley's answer, Sophie laughed, "Seriously?"
"I've worked so hard as a trainee for so long. I have the best talent, and I can make it. If it weren't for you, I'd already be on stage. I belong on the stage!"
The fierceness in Shirley's eyes revealed her desperation.
Sophie saw through Shirley's intentions with just a glance, "Have you been working so hard as a trainee, or have you been working so hard for Julian?"
"Of course, I..."
