Chapter 170


    You, James’ words were stuck halfway


    Jenna looked at James with a sneer How shameless’


    James took a deep breath Asking Sophie for help was out of the question, but he couldn’t let Gordon


    just take Nichole away.


    When James remained silent, Gordon couldn’t help but chuckle, “Mr. Burke, have you reached a


    conclusion?”


    “James, help!”


    Nichole looked at James, her face full of terror She knew all too well that falling Into Gordon’s hands


    would not end well!


    In Devonport, everyone knew how much Gordon doted on his younger brother. To avenge Harold,


    Gordon would stop at nothing

    Gordon twirled a ring on his finger and said indifferently. “Mr. Burke, since you remain silent, I am


    gonna take her away.”


    “Wait!” James frowned and said, “Mr. Harold, it’s indeed Nichole’s fault this time. If you send her to the


    police station, I have no objections.”


    “James!” Nichole stared at James in shock. She never thought James would actually let the Aldridge


    family send her to the police


    station.


    James approached Nichole, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance, “It’s not something serious. I’ll have


    someone pick you up in a few days.”


    “But…”


    The look on Nichole’s face was one of utter distress. She knew that if she ended up in Gordon’s hands,


    it might not just be a matter of being detained for a few days. But being sent to the police station would


    mark her personal record.


    It’d be difficult for her to find a job in the future, and she would also face disdain from those around her.


    James didn’t say much, simply allowing Gordon’s men to take Nichole away.


    Sophie watched coldly from the sidelines. She vividly remembered how in a past life James had


    favored Nichole. If it were the James from before, he would have defiantly opposed Gordon.


    James never used to bear seeing Nichole hurt.


    In this life, however something had gone wrong. James actuallypromised with Gordon.


    Sophie was puzzled. Was something different with James?


    If Nichole had a record, Bea would never allow her to marry into the Burke family. James should know


    this better than Sophie.


    At that moment, Sophie looked up and caught James’ gaze. His eyes held aplex mix of emotions.


    *Sophie, let’s go.” Jenna pulled on Sophie’s hand, eager to leave. Staying here even a moment longer


    felt disgusting to her.


    Gordon’s voice carried a hint of cold indifference, “We should go too.”


    “Yes.”


    Several bodyguards followed behind Gordon, and Harold gave James a fierce re before following


    Gordon as well. Jenna, arm in arm with Sophie, walked out of the room. She whispered to Sophie,


    “You’ve got Gordon here. There’s nothing to fear.”


    Sophie couldn’t help but take another look at Gordon’s retreating figure.


    His silhouette was slender, and he looked paler than thest time she saw him. Perhaps this time he


    really dide while battling the Illness.
