**Crash—!**
The mug Nichole had flung from her hand shattered on the floor right next to Bea's foot, scattering pieces everywhere. Marian, standing close by, quickly moved to shield Bea, exclaiming, "Ma’am, watch out!"
Bea's face twisted with irritation. "You can't even be bothered to make breakfast for me in the morning, and now you're causing a scene! What are you trying to do?"
Seeing Bea's anger, Nichole panicked. She got up from the couch, looking a bit hurt, and said, "It’s not my fault. James just got engaged to me and then vanished. I can't get in touch with him... I was thinking about the future of the Burke family. I promised you I'd try for another grandson as soon as possible."
Bea took a deep breath, trying to calm herself at the sight of Nichole's pitiful expression.
She never liked this woman! If it weren't for Nichole's status as the Freeman family's heiress and the conditions she had previously agreed to, she would never have let Nichole into the family for the sake of Burke International.
Bea coldly retorted, "If you can't keep a man, you can't blame others! James has gone to Summerfield to work for Burke International. If you really care, think about how to stabilize the stock market for the company! Get Mr. Bobby to put some effort in, instead of just talking a good game."
"You're right, Bea. Rest assured, James has already agreed for me to join Burke International as the general manager. While he's away, I'll make sure everything runs smoothly, so you won't have to worry," Nichole reassured her.
Hearing this, Bea reluctantly nodded.
After all, Nichole was a top graduate from Eastwood College. Bea did acknowledge Nichole's capabilities, certainly seeing her as more competent than Sophie.
As long as the Burke family could prosper, she wasn't completely against accepting Nichole as her granddaughter-in-law.
Just then, Bea caught sight of a newspaper on the table, clearly stating news of Sophie and Gordon being spotted entering the Burke Estate together.
Bea's expression darkened. "This woman really has some tricks up her sleeve. She had James all confused before, then climbed up to Colby, and now she's even enchanted Gordon!"
