Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 468
Sophie stood to the side, watching the drama unfold with a detached air.
At that moment, James hurried over. As he entered, he saw Mr. Briggs and Bea in the middle of their heated argument. He immediately went forward, supporting Bea. "Grandma, you…"
"James! This is the girl you like! Look at the show her family is putting on!"
"Grandma, what are you saying?" James had just arrived and was unaware of what had transpired.
He only saw Sophie standing aside, like an outsider. Sophie appeared unharmed and he felt a bit relieved.
Officer Derick, seeing the situation, approached James and said delicately, "Mr. Burke, let me brief you on what just happened. Your fiancée… had a miscarriage. She's in quite a complicated situation. In short, Ms. Rowena threw herself from the second floor and went tumbling down the stairs. Ms. Sophie had nothing to do with it. Rest assured, we'll thoroughly investigate this matter..."
James furrowed his brows, his voice cold, "Isn’t the situation already clear?"
"Well…"
James’ face showed no trace of grief for his lost child. Sophie noticed his indifferent demeanor and couldn’t help but remember her past life. When she was pregnant and lying on the operating table, James might have been just as indifferent. It was as if the child in her womb wasn’t his at all.
"I don’t want today’s incident to spread."
James looked at the guests, who understood without needing to be told. This was an industry scandal, and naturally, James did not want it to leak. They wouldn't foolishly offend James. They would keep silent after tonight.
"Marian, help Grandma go to rest."
"Yes, Mr. Burke."
Marian stepped forward to support Bea, who was greatly shaken by tonight’s events, swaying as she walked.
James gave Colt a look, and Colt immediately stepped forward, addressing Mr. and Mrs. Pittman, "Mr. and Mrs. Pittman, sorry for the fright. We'll arrange for someone to escort you home shortly."
Colt then addressed the crowd, "Tonight's dinner is concluded. We apologize for any inconvenience. We'll send gifts to all of you shortly and hope you won't mind."
With Colt managing the aftermath, James felt at ease. He glanced at Officer Derick. "Come upstairs with me."
"Yes, Mr. Burke."
James then coldly said to Ricardo and Mr. Briggs, "Gentlemen, you may leave."
