Ca nced at Sophie, a hint of smugness in her eyes.


    Sophie couldn’t help but let out a coldugh. It seemed that Bea had agreed to some terms with Ca.


    With that confident look on Ca’s face, it wouldn’t be long before she realized her dreams and became


    Mrs. Burke..


    “Stop right there.”


    Colby, out of the blue, halted Bea in her tracks. Bea, puzzled, turned around and looked at Colby with


    disdain, “What? You are just a bastard of the Costello family. Think you can lecture me?”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “You’re right.”


    Colby’s seemingly casual words stirred a storm in Sophie’s heart. Bea was an elder, a well–respected


    figure in Devonport.


    This was a different kind of war from the one men fought in the business world. This was their women’s


    affair, yet Colby was still willing to stand up for her.


    Bea nced at Colby and then at Sophie, saying, “Oh, I see now, birds of a feather flock together. So,


    Sophie, you’ve betrayed James, haven’t you? Climbing up the socialdder by getting close to Colby, is


    that it? No wonder you’re so keen on divorce. You think you’ve caught a bigger fish.”


    “Bea, I respect you as my elder, which is why I’ve always given you some leeway, but don’t push it. If


    you go too far, I won’t hold back.”


    In her past life, Sophie had given her all to Bea, only to end up with nothing.


    The Burke family were inherently cold.


    She had previously refrained from confronting Bea out of respect for her age, but that didn’t mean Bea


    could insult her at will.


    “I’d like to see how you n to deal with me. Do you think the Burke family is easy to mess with? If you


    touch me, James will never let you off.” After saying this, Bea dragged Ca towards the police station.


    Sophie turned her head towards Colby, saying, “You weren’t really nning on getting physical, were


    you?”


    “Hit an old person?”


    Colby frowned, saying, “Never have, but there’s a first time for everything.”


    “Are you serious?”


    “Don’t worry. Physical violence is the lowest form of retaliation.” Colby gently stroked Sophie’s head,


    saying, “Since she insulted you, I’ll make sure she witnesses her own downfall. She’ll regret everything


    she’s done tonight.”


    “Mr. Colby, Ms. Sophie, shall we go in?” A police officer quietly spoke up.


    Sophie nodded, and Colby, with his arm around her, walked in..


    Inside, Bea was acting the part of an elder, coldly stating, “I be right here waiting for your chief to


    come.”


    “We don’t want to make things difficult, but our chief really is busy today and can’t make it.”


    “Tell him Bea Burke is here. He shoulde to see me.”


    “Why can’t you understand?” The police officer looked impatient.


    At that moment, Sophie and Colby walked in, and the people around them, upon seeing Colby,


    approached him, “Mr. Colby, Ms. Sophie, you’re finally here. Pleasee this way.”


    The change in attitude was stark.


    Bea’s face fell immediately, “I told you to call your chief. Can’t you understand? Hurry up and fetch


    him.”


    “And I’ve told you, the chief is busy and can’te.”
