Sophie masked her smile. “Let’s go.”


    Colby merely lifted his hand, and his people began to retreat.


    James was not ready to give up. He attempted to follow but was stopped by Colt. “Mr. Burke! You can’t


    chase after him. That’s Colby!”


    “This is Devonport, and I’m the one in charge! What’s Colbypared to me?”


    “Lennon has handed over the entire Costello family to Colby! We can’t afford to mess with him!”


    “Get lost!” James shoved Colt away, his gaze thennding on Nichole.


    “James…”


    James looked as if he wanted to kill her right there. Nichole, terrified, stepped back, fearing James


    would truly take her life.


    “Take these three for a thorough interrogation!”


    “And about Ms. Nichole…”


    “Capture her. Lock her in the basement!”


    James‘ look was icy. “If Bea asks, tell her I’ve made arrangements for Nichole elsewhere.”


    Yes, Mr. Burke.”


    “James! I’m carrying your child! You can’t do this to me! James! You can’t do this to me! Let me go! Let


    me go!”


    Nichole struggled violently but was still restrained and dragged toward the outside of the church.


    Colt picked up the divorce agreement from the ground, hesitantly asking, “Mr. Burke, this divorce


    agreement…”


    James merely nced coldly at the divorce agreement before snatching it and tearing it in half, “As


    long as I don’t agree, Sophie will always be my wife. Even if Colby tries, he can’t take her away from


    me.”


    “But Mr. Burke, we’re already in such a difficult position. We can’t afford to conflict with the Costello


    family.”

    James coldly stated, “I’ll make Colby realize who truly rules Devonport.”


    If Colby were to fall, Sophie would inevitably return to James.


    Meanwhile, Sophie got into Adler’s car, frowning, “How did you get here?”


    Colby replied indifferently, “I was worried you might be in danger on your own.”


    “Bullshit, he’s worried you’ll go easy on James!” Adler mercilessly exposed Colby from the front seat.


    Colby coldly nced at Adler through the rearview mirror silencing him immediately.


    Sophie couldn’t help but chuckle. “So, the fearless Colby also has his fears.”


    “I fear many things,” Colby said nonchntly, “I fear you’ll miss James, regret the divorce, and dislike


    me.”


    Hearing this, Sophie’s face turned red, and she looked away.


    Adler grimaced. The once stoic Colby had suddenly blossomed – was it a result of repressed desires?


    Adler nced at Colby’s reflection in the mirror. He caught Colby staring at Sophie and subtly looked


    away.


    Yes! It must’ve been the result of long–suppressed desires.


    At that moment, a graceful woman in high heels descended from a ne at the airport. She looked up


    at the sky of Devonport and smiled slightly, “Colby, I’m back.”
