Chapter 120


    Nichole just wanted to leave quickly, but Krystal gmbbed her hand, deliberately saying, “Don’t go, isn’t


    he your boyfriend? He’s flirting with that other woman right in front of you. As your best friend, we


    definitely need to stand up for you”


    “Krystal is right. Well take you over there to confront him.


    Tina and Krystal exchanged a look, clearly relishing the drama of catching the cheater in the act


    Nichole shook her head desperately. She absolutely couldn’t go over there now!


    Nearby, as James approached, the atmosphere seemed to drop with him, yet Sophie seemed


    oblivious. “Oh, isn’t that Nichole? James, why aren’t you with Ms. Nichole? She looks a bit upset.”


    James’ face darkened. At this moment, she still wanted him to care about Nichole.


    Jenna gave James a nasty look, and Harold added, “I just saw Mr. Burke walking in holding another


    woman’s hand. I thought maybe the Burke family had a newdy. Mrs. Burke, why are you all alone


    when Mr. Burke is still here?”


    Harold’s casualment was tinged with sarcasm. Sophie just smiled slightly, showing no intention of


    giving James an easy out.


    Seeing this, James got imitated and grabbed Sophie’s arm, pulling her closer. He said coldly, “Sophie is


    my wife, and she will stay as my


    wife.”


    Sophie frowned, and everyone around fell silent.


    Even for Sophie, James deration felt too assertive. She certainly hadn’t nned to be his wife for


    her entire life.


    “Nichole! Nichole, what happened to you?” Suddenly, Krystal’s cry drew attention to their side.


    James turned to see Nichole copsing into Krystal’s arms, her face deathly pale. Ignoring Sophie


    beside him, James quickly stepped forward, scooping Nichole into his arms. “Colt! Call a doctor! Now!”


    “Yes, Mr. Burke!”


    Colt cast a lingering nce at Nichole in James’ arms.


    Sophie couldn’t help but scoff. It just had to be now that she fainted, not earlier, notter, but right at


    this moment.


    Those in the know, even Colt, sensed something was amiss, yet only James was overwhelmed with


    concern.


    Harold was visibly annoyed. “And he just left you like that?”


    “Isn’t that typical?”


    Sophie hadn’t expected Nichole to pull such a move, and as Krystal watched Nichole being camed


    away, her eyes held even more animosity towards Sophie.


    Sophie raised an eyebrow. It seemed that they med her for Nichole’s fainting spell.


    “That homewrecker has no shame. She got Nichole faint and was still smiling.” Krystal had always


    despised such women who used their looks to steal someone else’s boyfriend.


    Tina, on the other hand, felt there was more to the story but couldn’t calm Krystal’s fiery temper.


    As Sophie and her group tried to pass by, Krystal couldn’t help but throw in a taunt, “He’s walked away,


    and someone is still sticking around. She’s probably fishing for more wealthy husbands.”


    Jenna heard this and frowned, pulling Sophie back to face Krystal. “Who are you talking about?”


    “Everyone knows who I’m talking about.”From N?velDrama.Org.
