Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

In the heart of Burke International's family estate in Devonport, Bea glared at the security guards posted at the entrance. "How long does James plan to keep me cooped up here?" One of the guards replied, "Mr. Burke said you can leave anytime, but we must accompany you."

That response only stoked Bea's frustration. She was James' grandmother, yet she couldn't even walk out the door freely.

"Everyone, step aside."

Colt strode through the grand gates of the Burke Estate, and the guards immediately parted for him.

"Colt, finally! Where's James?"

Since yesterday, James had gone silent, not replying to her messages. How could he ignore the grandmother who raised him, all for a woman?

"Ma'am, I was just about to tell you. Mr. Burke hasn't been to the office since yesterday. I checked his flight details-he flew overseas last night without a word to me!"

"What?"

Bea was stunned. "Why on earth would he go overseas without saying a thing?"NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

When Colt hesitated, Bea quickly put two and two together. "Is it because of Sophie?"

"...Yes."

"Unbelievable!" Bea's face flushed with rage. "Gallivanting after a woman and neglecting the family business-how did I end up with such a grandson?"

"He won't listen to me. That's why I'm asking you to go overseas and convince him to come back. Right now, Colby and the Pollard family are at each other's throats, and I'm afraid Mr. Burke might do something reckless for Sophie!"

Colt's words chilled Bea to the bone. She had been trying to find a way to get rid of Sophie, but James seemed one step ahead, ensuring she was always under watch.

Now, the opportunity was right in front of her. Determined, Bea said, "Book me the earliest flight overseas."

"Yes, Ma'am." Colt quickly left the room.

Marian, who had been watching from a corner, looked visibly unsettled.

Bea turned and saw Marian lurking. "Get my luggage ready. I'm leaving for overseas immediately."

Marian hesitated. "Bea, you haven't left Devonport in decades. It's risky. Let me go with you..."

"No need. I have old friends overseas. I'll be fine."

Bea glanced at Marian with a stern look. "If you breathe a word about this tri you can forget

"I... I wouldn't dare..."

Marian's face paled. "But Ms. Sophie is a good person. Didn't you like her a lot at first?"

"What good is a person if they don't listen?"

Bea said impatiently, "Just do what I told you and don't delay my flight."

"... Yes, Ma'am."
