Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 96

James looked at Nichole's swollen half-face, his eyes filled with distress. He frowned and looked up at Bea. "Grandma, it was my decision to let Nichole stay here to recover. Sophie chose to leave on her own. It has nothing to do with Nichole."

"What do you mean it has nothing to do with her? Sophie was such a sweet girl, and this woman drove her to move out. Don't you have any responsibility as a husband?"

"Grandma, it was Sophie who caused Nichole's car accident! She..."

"Enough!" Bea's voice was cold and stern. "You're defending such a person and blaming everything on your own wife. This is not something my grandson would do."

James had never defied Bea before, and he did not dare to speak now.

Bea glanced coldly at Nichole. "As for you, the Burke family funded your education, but instead of focusing on your study, you dream of becoming James’ wife. Don't think I can't see through your little schemes! You better give up that idea! As long as I live, you will never enter the doors of the Burke family…"

James finally couldn't hold back. "Grandma, Nichole isn't like that."

"She isn't like that?" Bea pulled out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them on the table. "Take a good look. This is the girl you've been supporting!"

The photos showed Nichole with heavy makeup and dancing provocatively in a nightclub, and several other pictures even featured Nichole sitting with strange men, drinking and behaving intimately.

James fell silent upon seeing the content of the photos. Nichole's face turned pale instantly.

Bea scoffed. "This is a gold digger. You've caused trouble with the Dennis family for her, turning us into a laughingstock! James, I'm so disappointed in you."

"Grandma, I'll handle this." James glanced at Marian. "Take my grandma back home."

"Yes, sir." Marian helped Bea out of the Burke mansion.

Nichole noticed James' silence and suddenly felt uneasy. "James, listen to me…"

"The facts are right here. What more is there to explain?"

Nichole bit her lip, saying, "I was working part-time... out of necessity…"
