The bodyguards had learned their lesson and, after glancing at James' expression, reluctantly left the scene.
It was only when the coast was clear that Sophie allowed herself a moment of relief.
James approached Sophie again, gently touching her forehead, and remarked, "Why do you have such a high fever?"
"Ask your cousin. She was being quite the handful just now."
Sophie surveyed the mess around them and couldn't help but wonder what bad karma she had accrued to deserve such chaos.
"I'll take care of that matter."
"I know. I wasn't planning to interfere."
Sophie got up, intending to return to her room, but as she did, she felt a wave of dizziness, and her vision turned pitch black. In her semi-conscious state, she thought she heard someone calling her name.
James quickly moved to catch Sophie, but in the next instant, she was in another's arms.
"No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Burke. My girlfriend will be well taken care of by me." Colby lifted Sophie in his arms without sparing James a glance.
"Stop!"
James' voice carried a chilling tone as he blocked Colby's path. He looked down at Sophie, who’s unconscious in Colby's arms, and scoffed, "Your girlfriend? And you just stood by as she was harassed without intervening?"
"No one will bully her." Colby raised an eyebrow at James, stating, "Well, it seems to me that the person making things difficult for Sophie was a member of your family."
Colby's words left James with no comeback.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
