Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 520

Upon hearing this, Colt hesitated for a moment before Sophie reassured him, “Don't worry, I'm just going to have a brief chat with them. It won't bring any trouble to you or Mr. Burke.”

Colt quickly lowered his head, responding, “Yes, ma'am.”

Soon after, Colt drove Sophie to the Devins' residence.

The Devins were over the moon with the contract they had just secured. When the housekeeper saw Sophie arriving, she promptly went inside to inform the Devins, who all straightened their faces upon hearing the news.

Morris frowned, “What’s she doing here?”

“Honey, maybe we should just send her away. She’s James’ wife. Surely, she’s in league with the Burkes!”

“You’re right, send her away!”

Just as Morris finished speaking, Calla suddenly spoke up, “Dad, Mom, maybe we should let Ms. Sophie in.”

“You naive child, what do you know? She’s definitely here to plead on behalf of the Burke family!”

“That’s not true. It was Sophie who reminded me time and again to ask for this contract. Without her, would we have had the courage to approach the Devins for money? Maybe she’s here to help us as well.”

Morris then nodded, saying, “If that’s the case, then let her in. I want to see what the Burke family’s daughter-in-law is really here for!”

Once Morris gave the word, the housekeeper quickly ushered Sophie in.

Morris noticed Sophie come alone, he put on airs, and said, “We’re just a modest family, Mrs. Burke. It’s quite a bother for you to come all this way. If you’re here to intercede on behalf of Bea Burke, then we have nothing to discuss.”

“Mr. Devins, I haven’t even spoken yet, and you’ve already made your decision. Isn’t that a bit premature?” Sophie smiled.

Calla’s mother Paige stood up and approached her, saying, “Ms. Sophie, I wonder if you remember me. We’ve met before.”

Sophie smiled back, saying, “Mr. and Mrs. Devins, you are quite the model couple. I’ve heard much about you, and we’ve indeed met a few times.”

Paige nodded, saying, “Calla told me that it was thanks to your help that she was able to secure the contract without being bullied by the Burkes. I owe you my thanks, Ms. Sophie.”

“No need for thanks. I was also doing it for myself.”
