From the moment Sophie entered, the media’s shbulbs never stopped.


    This was going to be the sensational news that would take the inte by storm! By now, the news


    must have already spread across major online tforms. Some media outlets even started live–


    streaming the event.


    Sophie simply watched with a cool detachment. Such an asion was enough to ferment the news of


    her divorce to its maximum potential.


    The situation was going awry, and Colt immediately took out his phone and informed James of the


    situation.


    By the time James arrived, Bea had already been taken away in an ambnce.


    Sophie’s people had dispersed all the guests in the church. The first thing James saw as he entered


    the church was Sophie’s face.


    He was so overtaken with joy that he immediately ran towards Sophie, but before he could reach her,


    Nichole blocked him. “James! You can’t go over there! You don’t understand. Bea ended up in the


    hospital because of Sophie!”


    “Move!”


    James pushed Nichole aside, causing her to nearly fall, but fortunately, she steadied herself on a chair.


    She stared at James with a face full of resentment and clenched her teeth.


    She had be the woman everyone talked about because of James, but he didn’t seem to care at


    all!


    At that moment, James‘ gaze was fixed solely on Sophie. “I’m not dreaming. You really came back.”


    James embraced Sophie excitedly. His heart yearned for her. He knew that Sophie hadn’t died.


    However, Sophie did not return James‘ hug. Her expression remained indifferent, and she pushed him


    away, saying, “You’re toote. I’ve already announced our divorce.”


    “Divorce?”


    When had he ever agreed to a divorce?


    Feeling the confusion in James‘ eyes, Sophie pulled out a divorce settlement from her bag. “I’ve


    already signed this divorce settlement. It just needs your signature.”


    “I told you that I would never agree to a divorce between us. Have you forgotten our bet…”

    “I never intended to honor that bet.” Sophie scoffed and said, “Even if you bet all your fortune that I


    would love you, I would never love you. Consider it me letting you go. Stop bothering me.”


    “No, Sophie, listen to me. I truly love you…”


    “You love me, yet you have a child with Nichole?”


    Hearing Sophie bring up the child left James silent. After a long silence, he choked up, “Well…the child.


    I can exin that night… Sophie coldly cut him off and then turned to Nichole, saying, “I’m not


    interested in what happened between you two, and there’s no room for betrayal in my heart. Since you


    already have Nichole, there’s no future for us. Let go and think about yourself. Think about Burke


    International. Bea wouldn’t want to see you lose the Burke family’s fortune to me.”


    Sophie ced the divorce settlement in James‘ hand.


    James grabbed Sophie’s arm, attempting to make onest plea, but Sophie said, “Oh, and since


    Nichole is now your woman, I think it’s necessary to tell you something.”


    Sophie then instructed Tricia, who was standing by her side. “Bring the guys up.”
