In the room, moonlight caressed Nichole’s skin, making it appear exceptionally delicate.


    Nichole slipped off her blouse, revealing a swath of smooth skin across her chest.


    James immediately averted his gaze, but Nichole caught his hand. “James, I’m your woman. We have


    made love. Why won’t you look at

    me?”


    Once a man had indulged, abstinence became a challenge.


    Nichole moved closer, her whole being nestled against James, trying to awaken his desires, but the


    next second, James pushed Nichole away


    Nichole was caught off bnce and fell onto the bed, while James‘ expression was as if he had been


    touched by something vile. James coldly stated, “I wamed you. If you’re not going to stay put and rest,


    starting tomorrow, you’re moving out of the Burke residence.”


    *James?”


    James left the bedroom without looking back, leaving Nichole in disbelief.


    The next day, Sophie got the inside scoop, somewhat surprised. “Nichole moved out of the Burke


    residence?”


    “Yes, she was seen being escorted out of the Burke residence early this morning”


    “Bea agreed to let her go?”


    “Nichole offended the Aldridge family. It seems even Bea has to give Mr. Gordon some respect.”


    Tricia’s reasoning was sound. Sophie thought it over and found it made sense.


    The ce Nichole had moved into was originally her and James‘ marital home.


    That was indeed scandalous. If the media got wind of it, it would likely cause an uproar

    “Mr. Colby and Mr. Adler had matters to attend to, so…”


    “So he left again, right?”


    Sophie had grown ustomed to Colby’s sporadic appearances. She wondered what Colby was off to


    handle this time.


    But no matter, Russell Enterprises had now merged with S Corporation and was on the right track.


    There shouldn’t be any issues.


    Sophie handed the partnership documents to Tricia, saying, “The Aldridge family will be signing with us


    in the next few days. Get everything ready”


    “Okay”


    As Tricia finished speaking, amotion suddenly arose outside the door.


    “Officer, could there be some misunderstanding? Officer!”


    Two police officers pushed open the office door, asking, “Which one of you is Sophie?”


    “That would be me.”


    The officers exchanged a nce, and one immediately stepped forward to handcuff Sophie. “You’re


    being used of epting bribes and embezzling funds. We’re taking you in for questioning byw.”


    Tricia was stunned. “epting bribes, embezzling funds? Officer, there must be some mistake. We


    demand legal representation!”


    “You can seek awyer, but she needs toe with us to the station now.”


    With that, the officers led Sophie away.


    Sophie frowned.


    All eyes were now on her. Sophie’s gaze swept over


    Who reported her?


    everyone present.


    She had always managed the financés strictly, leaving no room for error. This usation was clearly
