Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 516

Bea was frozen in place, unable to believe that James had delivered the evidence to the Devins family. She exclaimed in anger, "This is impossible! Stop trying to drive a wedge between us!"

"Bea, you're a well-known figure in the industry. If this gets out, you could be facing a lawsuit! You’ll be totally embarrassed by then."

Morris knew exactly how to hit Bea where it hurt.

Bea's high reputation in the industry was largely due to having a supportive husband, a good son, and a wonderful grandson. Now that James was not protecting Bea, she had no choice but to accept defeat.

Bea slumped onto the sofa as if she couldn't believe that her grandson, whom she had trained with her own hands, would one day abandon her.

Marian quickly came to Bea's aid, warning the Devins family, "She’s not well and needs to rest. If you don't leave now, I'll have to call for help!"

"We'll leave, but the debt..."

"It's just a billion dollars. Do you really think the Burke family doesn't have the money? Mr. Burke will surely stand by his grandmother! If you don't leave, I'll call the police and have you all arrested!" Marian was no stranger to tough situations and didn't hold back in her threats.

Morris took a deep breath and then turned to Calla, saying, "Calla, let's go. If the Burke family doesn't give us our compensation by tomorrow, we'll go to the media and have Bea arrested!"

Calla nodded firmly. She was filled with hatred for Bea. She had once treated Bea as her own grandmother, but Bea had pushed her into hell step by step. To gain control over her, Bea had even allowed a thirty-year-old driver to defile her.

Calla followed Morris out, leaving only Bea and Marian in the living room.

Marian patiently said, "Madam, it's just a billion dollars. If this blows up, your reputation..."

"Shut up!" Bea pushed Marian away, furious. "You think I don't know about your secret dealings with Sophie? You traitor! I've wasted years keeping you by my side! You're turning against your own family!"

Marian was scolded harshly and couldn’t retort.

Although she had listened to Sophie a few times, she had also been loyal to Bea for many years, never disobeying her commands. But lately, Bea's actions had become more outrageous, and it was only a matter of time before they harmed the Burke family.

Marian quickly said, "Madam, I've been with the Burke family for decades, watching over you and seeing Mr. Burke grow up. I only want what's best for the Burke family. Mrs. Burke might have made some mistakes, but she's a good woman. She respected and treated you well... Ms. Calla may have had some misguided thoughts, but she served you well. You've destroyed her reputation. How could she not hate you..."
