Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

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.

Colt replied, "I usually handle your daily schedule, but recently... You went to Summerfield without me, and teaming up with the Mintons...

It's too risky for Burke

James calmly retorted, "I gave you a holiday. You should be resting at home. Burke International's matters don't need your concern. You can leave now."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Mr. Burke only informed Bea to

stop you from going to Bloomsbury to find Ms. Sophie! Ms. Sophie is with Colby, our enemy at Burke International! Please, reconsider this!"

James shot Colt a cold glance. "From today onwards, you're dismissed."

Colt was stunned. He had worked at Burke International for years and never imagined James would dismiss him.

James didn't bother with Colt anymore, got into his car, and drove off.

Meanwhile, back at the Burke family estate, Bea had already heard the news.

"Are you saying James... James and Sophie went to the notary office?" Bea's face went pale.

Colt, visibly anxious, said, "Ma'am,

everything I did was for Burke

International and Mr. Burke! We

can't collaborate with the Mintons we hand over the Burke

nor can

family on a silver platter! Our

foundation at Burke International

would be destroyed!"

Colt was by James' side for so long, and knew how much the Burke family meant to him.

How could Mr. Burke possibly hand over all his work to Ms. Sophie? If that happened, the Burke family would be ruined!

Bea muttered, her voice trembling, "James... you can't be this foolish... I won't let you be this foolish!"
