Late at night, James stormed back to the Burke household, shoving open the grand doors with a surge


    of anger.


    Bea had already gone to bed. She heard the noise at the entrance and asked Ca to help her walk to


    the door.


    As soon as they reached the living room, Bea saw James with a dark expression on his face. She


    frowned slightly and asked, “What’s going on?”


    “Come here!” James stepped forward and grabbed Ca, looking fierce..


    Ca had never seen James so furiously angry, and was scared out of her wits. “James! What are you


    doing?”


    “How can you be so evil? Have you squandered those money?!”


    James looked menacing while Ca shook her head desperately, saying, “James, this has nothing to


    do with me. Really, you have to believe me…”


    “Believe you?” James‘ eyes narrowed dangerously as he said, “Sophie fell overboard and hasn’t been


    found yet! If she’s dead, I’ll make your family pay!”


    Ca looked distressed, but Bea suddenly spoke up, saying, “Enough!”


    Bea took a deep breath and said, “What does this have to do with Ca? She doesn’t have the


    authority to change financial transactions.


    I ordered it.”


    In an instant, James‘ strength seemed to drain away. “Grandma, what do you mean by that?”


    “My foolish boy, even if Sophie is the precious daughter of the Russell family and has contributed to


    Burke International, she’s not worth ten billion dors!” Bea said coldly, “I think Sophie has clouded


    your judgment. As the head of Burke International, you need to consider the corporation’s welfare and


    not sacrifice it for one woman!”


    James‘ voice turned hoarse. “Grandma, do you know how important Sophie is to me?”


    *Of course, I do! Didn’t you also love Nichole to the point of death as well? You constantly defied me for


    her sake. But now?” Bea sat down on the sofa and said, “Once your novelty wears off, you’ll stop


    caring about Sophie. I’m speaking from experience and only want what’s best for you.”


    “What’s best for me?” James stepped back, his expression of despair slowly turning cold.


    He was alwaysposed, yet he couldn’t stay calm when it came to Sophie.


    The Burke family’s creed was always to be distant, control emotions, and not be swayed by them. He


    had lived by this all his years, now, all he wanted was Sophie.

    “Grandma, if anything happens to Sophie, I might as well not live.”

    Bea furrowed her brows at James‘ words, “James, are you threatening me?”


    James‘ voice grew colder. “You know I mean what I say.”


    “You…”


    James turned to Colt, standing behind him, and ordered, “Deploy all of the Burke’s resources to find


    Sophie now. We need to see her, dead or alive!”


    “Yes, Mr. Burke.”


    Hearing this, Bea’s expression soured, “James! You stop right there! Come back!”


    No matter how much Bea called out, James didn’t look back.


    but


    Bea’s face turned grim. “He doesn’t even listen to me now! Sophie really is a curse. We never should


    have allowed her to marry into the Burke family!”
