Chapter 133


    Adler was puzzled.


    Only Jenna knew why.


    As expected, James called the school at noon..


    James didn’t contact Sophie directly but instead reached out to the dean, asking him to ry a


    message for her to return immediately.


    Bea knew aboutst night’s incident and made a scene at home.


    The Russell family was also not at peace. Jessica had long wanted to see Sophie’s embarrassment.


    The news that James left his wife at the Aldridge family’s party holding another woman had almost


    spread throughout the entire circle.


    At noon, Perry nearly blew up Sophie’s phone with calls, but she didn’t answer any of them.


    When Colt dropped Sophie off at the Burke family’s home, Bea was furious and threw her ss against


    the wall, while James could only. kneel on the floor, silent


    Sophie noticed James’ clothes were disheveled, his body bearing marks of being hit, and his face had


    turned somewhat pale.


    “Sophie, you knew about this, didn’t you? And you just let them mess around?!” Bea’s chest heaved


    with anger.


    “James likes her.” Sophie replied indifferently, seemingly detached from the situation.


    She had already prepared for the worst-James might reveal her enrollment at Eastwood College. She


    didn’t care. She might just divorce James sooner.


    “I just don’t understand. What’s so good about a female college student? Sophie’s prettier, more


    outstanding. Are you blind? How could I have raised a grandson like you!”


    “Grandma, it’s my fault. It has nothing to do with Nichole. Please don’t involve her.”


    “You!” Bea stood up from the sofa, furiously saying, “I didn’t want to meddle too much in your affairs,


    but with your attitude now, don’t me me for being ruthless!”


    Bea turned to Colt angrily. “Contact Eastwood College right now, have them kick out that girlN?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    immediately. If James still keeps in touch with that girl, I will use all my connections to make sure that


    girl can’t survive in Devonport!”


    Sophie watched coldly.


    Bea indeed had such capability in the past. After all, she was Grandpa Burke’s wife. But Bea was no


    longer young, and now Devonport was James’ domain. James was no longer the obedient,pliant


    child he used to be.


    Indeed, James stood up.


    Bea’s face showed disbelief. James coldly said, “Grandma, I’ve listened to you enough over the years.


    Nichole is someone I personally mentored. If you really want to move against her, then I will have no


    choice but to stand against you.”


    “You! You!” Bea clutched at her chest, clearly upset.


    “Colt, take Grandma back to rest. Her health isn’t good, and she shouldn’t go out in the next few days.”


    “Yes, Mr. Burke.”


    Marian was startled but could only help Bea, fearing she might faint from anger.


    Bea was helped out of the Burke family home, and Sophie hadn’t expected this oue. For Nichole,


    James was willing to confront Bea, even upsetting her to this extent.


    “Is there anything else for me here? If not, I’m leaving.”


    Sophie didn’t want to speak another word with James. As she tumed to head back to the Russell family


    to clean up the mess, James suddenly spoke up. “Did the Russell family call you?”


    “Your scandalous support of a college girl has be so well-known, it would be hard not to let them


    know.”


    James frowned. “Sophie, do you always have to speak so harshly?”
