Sophie grabbed the contract, her eyes scanning the text that confirmed James would hand over all Burke International shares to her in three months.
"Handing over all of Burke International? I thought Mr. Burke was joking, but it seems he’s actually serious," she mused.
James' face remained impassive. "When I say something, I mean it. But..."
"But what?"
"But I doubt you'll make it three months."
James' words wiped the smile right off Sophie's face. He raised an eyebrow, adding, "I heard Odie injected you with some new drug. Ms. Sophie, you've been pampered your whole life and probably never faced any real hardship. If you don't survive these three months, well, the money won't be yours."
Sophie looked down at the contract again and, sure enough, there was a clause stating that if either party died within three months, the contract would be null and void.
Scoffing, Sophie quickly signed her name and coldly said, "Rest assured, Mr. Burke. Just for the sake of taking over Burke International, I’ll make sure to stay alive—at least for the next three months."
"Let's see," James replied.
Sophie turned on her heel and left, the smile on James' face fading slowly. He believed she could survive; she definitely would.
Outside the notary office, Colt had been waiting. As soon as James stepped out, Colt approached him, saying, "Mr. Burke, Bea's been waiting for you to come back."
"Who told you to come?" James frowned slightly.

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....
