James‘ stance was firm, leaving Colt with no choice but to bravely step forward and say to Bea,


    “Madam, you really should-”


    “Get lost!


    Bea shook off Colt’s hand and strode up to Sophie, sneering, “Sophie, I know the Russell family has


    gone bankrupt, and you’re desperate for money. But since you and James are already processing your


    divorce, let’s clear the air here. As long as I’m around, you don’t get to enter the Burke family again!


    And as for the marital assets, don’t expect to get a penny!”


    “Grandmother!” Veins throbbed on James‘ forehead. He was clearly enraged.


    Colt immediately said, “Madamb please, just go back. Don’t anger Mr. Burke any further!”


    As Colt finished speaking, Sophie coldly said, “Fine, let’s be clear then. Please have your beloved


    grandson sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. I’ve sent over a dozen copies already, and they


    were all torn to shreds by him. I’m not sure if he has a penchant for self–torture. I’ve made myself quite


    clear, yet he still refuses to divorce me.”


    Bea, always concemed with the Burke family’s reputation, found Sophie’s words unbearable.


    But quickly, she said, “You mean James refuses to divorce you? How amusing. Russell Enterprises is


    bankrupt, and yet you still act so high and mighty? I heard you’ve started training at Aldridge Global as


    a trainee. The esteemed Miss Russell, hailing from a prestigious family, has stooped to bing a


    lowly actress. How utterly astonishing.”

    Bea’s mocking words infuriated James, who eximed, “Colt! Do you not want your job? Take her


    away right now!”


    James publicly disregarded Bea’s feelings, and Ca attempted to intervene. “James, Bea is just


    looking out for you, don’t-”


    “This doesn’t concem you!”


    James spared no one’s feelings. He immediately made a call and sternly said into the phone, “Have


    your men escort Bea and any irrelevant parties out.”


    The next moment, security guards approached and surrounded Bea and Ca.


    The manager stepped forward and said, “Please don’t make this difficult for me. Just leave.”


    Bea frowned, “What? If I don’t leave, you’ll resort to physical measures?”


    “We wouldn’t, but we might have to carry you out, which would be undignified for everyone.”


    “Grandma Bea_”


    Ca tugged at Bea’s sleeve. Bea knew her grandson was furious and could only snort coldly before


    turning to leave with Ca.


    Watching this unfold, Sophie felt like she was the protagonist in this drama.


    “Sophie, I.”


    “No need to exin. I know this wasn’t your doing.” Sophie turned to James, pausing before saying,


    “But you did fulfill a dream of


    mine.”


    “A dream?


    Sophie didn’t look up, simply stating, “I had a dream where you were especially cold to me, never


    willing to spend a single birthday with me. But today… I still want to thank you”
