NovelEnglishChapter 107 The Burke family was always strict, and James, having been raised single handedly by Ben, did not even dodge in that moment. Bea used all her strength in her swats, and in just a few hits, James was already covered in bruises.
Sophie watched coldly as James clenched his teeth, stubbornly refusing to utter a word of pain.
Finally, when the cane broke, Ben coldly asked, "Are you going to apologize or not?" James remained silent.

Sophie said, "Grandma, please don't be angry anymore. I don't blJames. He's got to be hurt. We should call the doctor to have a look at him quickly." Sophie put on a show of being understanding, which slightly calmed Bea's anger. As James' grandmother, how could she not know her grandson's personality? Getting an apology out of him was utterly impossible. It had all been a show for Sophie's benefit, just to calm her down.
Bea patted Sophie's hand and said, "Good girl, from now on, I'll handle him for you. I promise, that woman will never step foot in the Burke family's house again. You will be the only wife of his." Sophie just smiled slightly.
James, kneeling on the floor, watched Sophie, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
It was o getting dark, and Bea called for a doctor for James, then left.
Sophie sat on the couch, sipping her tea methodically. James got up from the floor, his voice tinged with disgust. "Sophie, have you had enough of this act?" Sophie remained silent.
James continued, "You used divorce as a threat and managed to get Grandma to send Nichole away. You're really unning. 1 underestimated you before!" Think what you like." Sophie didn't care about James' opinion. She stood up as the doctor arrived. To the doctor, she said, “You can be a bit rough with the medication. Mr. James has a high tolerance for pain." The doctor bowed his head nervously, casting a glance at James, who had a dark expression.
For the next few days, James was confined by Bea and forbidden to leave the Burke family estate. At Burke International, everyone grumbled but dared not speak out since Bea held significant sway over the Burke family. All business had to be conducted from the estate.

On the third day, James could no longer bear it and pushed open Sophie's bedroom door.
Sophie was sitting on the bed looking at the stock market but switched off the screen when James entered. "What is it?" She had a cool expression.
James couldn't go out these days and was unaware of Nichole's condition. It seemed he was worried about Nichole help but speak.
"Sophie, if you don't want Grandma to find out that you attend Eastwood College, convince her to allowto go out immediately." "James, you speak as if I have any power over Grandma's decisions. She's the one keeping you indoors, not me."
