Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 510

In Sophie's memory, the real rise of the Burke family began with James' grandfather, Bea's husband, and then, James' father took the lead.

However, she had never heard James mention anything about his great-grandfather's generation.

"Yes."

"So, has Burke International been around for a century?"

Burke International always claimed to be a century-old enterprise, but in reality, the Burke family had been wealthy for only a few decades. They were considered nouveau riche in their time, which is why Bea always wanted her son and grandson to marry a lady from a noble family.

"Probably." James spoke indifferently, "My great-grandparents probably didn't make their fortune in Devonport. I don't know much about their story."

Sophie fell into thought as James lit the candle and handed it to her.

Understanding James' gesture, Sophie accepted the candle, bowed sincerely, and then placed them in the burner.

James said, "With this, it's complete."

"I don't mind it," Sophie replied lightly. "I think you should focus on giving your grandmother a grandchild. She's getting old and really wants to see the next generation."

As Sophie turned to leave the ancestral hall, James was about to speak to retain her when suddenly a woman's shouting came from outside. "Let me in! Let me in!"

"Ms. Calla, you cannot enter! Mr. Burke is having a conversation with his wife!"

"Move aside for me!"

Calla's voice was loud, disturbing Sophie, who had just stepped out of the ancestral hall.

At the elevator, Calla was being held back by two maids. Calla saw Sophie, and her expression changed. James frowned. "Who allowed you to bring her here?"

"It was Ms. Calla herself, sir. We couldn't stop her."
