James‘ voice carried a hint of mockery, “There are more than a dozen women in Devonport who dream


    of bing my wife, The Devins family doesn’t evene close to qualifying. What makes you think


    you can be of any help to me?”


    “.. Ca had never anticipated being ridiculed by James, and her face flushed with shame and anger.


    Indeed, the Devins family was modest. And every distinguisheddy in Devonport longed to enter the


    Burke family and be Mrs. Burke. Why would she be any different?


    Observing Calia’s embarrassed and angry expression, James coldly ordered, “Get out. I won’t repeat


    myself.”


    With her lips quivering, Ca eventually ran out of the study.


    “Mr. Burke, Ms. Ca is just a naive young girl. There’s no need to be so harsh.”


    Are you teaching me how to handle my affairs?”


    “Not at all.”


    It was just that Mr. Burke used to be more tolerant towards girls of Ca’s age in the past. Even if it was


    just for appearances, he wouldn’t speak to a woman in such a harsh tone.


    Moreover, the rtionship between the Devins family and the Burke family was actually quite good.


    James said coolly, “From today onwards, I don’t want to see anyone who isn’t part of the Burke family


    in this house. Do you understand?”


    “Yes, I’ll take care of it right away.” Colt left the room.


    Downstairs, Marian was packing Ca’s bags. Ca had just moved in yesterday to take care of Bea’s


    health, and today she was being sent away. Ca’s face looked terrible as she immediately said to


    Bea, “Grandma Bea, your health hasn’t improved yet. I can’t leave.”


    “If you can’t even hold onto a man’s heart, what can I do?”


    Bea felt exhausted. Lately, James had been increasingly disobedient. She could no longer control him


    and could only let him drive Cal


    away.


    “Grandma Bea!”


    Ca couldn’t believe she was being abandoned again. She had been diligently taking care of Bea


    these past few days, but Bea still chose to abandon her.


    Bea said in an ostensibly affectionate tone, “My dear, when Sophie and James divorce, that’s when I’ll


    rightfully bring you back.”


    Hearing this, Ca’s heart sank.


    Waiting for Sophie and James to divorce? Given the current situation, would James agree to a divorce?


    Even if they did divorce, how could she ever take the ce of Mrs. Burke?


    “Marian, have the driver take Ms. Ca back, and please thank Mrs. Devins for sending her daughter to


    take care of me.”


    “Yes, Madam.”


    After the driver had taken Ca away, Marianmented, “Ms. Ca was really unreasonable, crying


    and refusing to leave. She’s still fantasizing about bing Mrs. Burke. If you ask me, Ms. Sophie…”


    Bea gave Marian a cold nce, and Marian immediately fell silent. “Have you found out what I asked


    you to investigate?“.


    Marian replied hesitantly, “We still haven’t found Ms. Nichole. I have no idea where Mr. Burke has


    hidden her.”


    “Nichole is carrying the Burke family’s child. We absolutely cannot let her be out there alone. No matter


    what, we must bring her back.”


    Marian replied somewhat unwillingly, “Yes, Madam.”

    Meanwhile, in prison, Nichole was locked up in the women’s cell, and her cellmate was gossiping. “Did


    you hear? The famous CEO of Burke International just got locked up.”
