Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 980

"This is Bea from Burke International. Watch your mouth."

Colt stood beside Bea, and as soon as the office staff saw him, they exchanged nervous glances and fell silent.

Bea demanded, "Where have your people taken our James? Release him immediately! If this gets out of hand, it’s not going to end well for either of us!"

Bea was far from her usual composed self, looking more like a fierce tigress ready for a fight.

Just then, Officer Derick emerged from a corner, and upon seeing Bea, he approached with a forced smile, "Bea, what brings you here so late?"

"James has been taken by your men. Why do you think I'm here?"

"Ah, this is complicated. Mr. Burke assaulted Colby, and this is a serious matter. We owe an explanation to Colby and Mrs. Costello. Mr. Burke is currently in our interrogation room. If you wish to see him, I can arrange a meeting."

"Colby? Who does he think he is, calling the shots around here? Our James would never do anything illegal; it must be Colby, that troublemaker, framing him!"

Everyone knew what Colby was up to before, right? Framing someone like James would be a piece of cake for him.

At that moment, Sophie's voice cut through the tension from behind Bea.

"Framing? My husband is in the hospital because your grandson tried to hurt me. If it weren't for my husband, I’d be the one in that hospital bed."

Sophie's tone was icier than usual, and Bea turned to see her, scoffing, "Oh, it’s you! James gave up so much for you, even Burke International. How could he possibly think of killing you? This must be your and Colby's doing, trying to take over the Burke family!"
