After the public fallout with Mr. Burke and now with the Russell Enterprises bankrupt, she must be here to seek Mr. Burke's help!" "Thought she was too proud, but in the end, she still has to cback and beg Mr. Burke for reconciliation?" Those words reached Sophie's ears, but she pretended not to hear them.
The recent news about the strained relations between the families, along with Russell Enterprises going bankrupt, made her arrival at Burke International a surefire catalyst for gossip.
But that was not what she cared about at the moment.
Colt was already waiting on the first floor, and as soon as he saw Sophie, he stepped forward to greet her, “Mrs. Burke, Mr. Burke is waiting for you in the conference room." "No need to callMrs. Burke anymore. Just callMs. Sophie from now on." "But, Colt hesitated, then said, "Mr. Burke..." "I won't make it difficult for you, so just don't callthat in my face." "Of course, Ms. Sophie." Colt led Sophie upstairs.
Outside the conference room, Sophie saw James through the glass, sitting in the office chair. He expressions as indifferent as ever, exuding an aura of a cold and steady demeanor.

Even if Ricardo was the dominant force in Bloomsbury, Devonport was still James' territory.
Nichole was now carrying James' child, and if Ricardo wanted t rdo wanted to take Nichole away he still needed James' consent.
"I let her go, but I didn't know she would... James paused, hesitated for a moment then counter-asked, "Why En. do you ask?" Sophie stopped short. She had thought about it all the way here but couldn't find a good reason.
She couldn't just say she had been reborn and wanted to clarify smatters from her past life, could she? Sophie fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Did you ever have feelings for Nichole?" Never James response was firm.
