Hearing this, Bea immediately stood up, her expression turning somewhat colder. "Do you even understand what you''re saying?"


    "Bea, I''m doing all of this for you and Burke International''s sake. If Sophie were still alive, James would never give her up. Who knows what he might do for Sophie in the future?"


    As Bea hesitated, Nichole feigned a sigh, exaggerating her concern. "Oh, James, the head of Burke International, actually went on some reality show. It''s be a total joke in our circles. He really must be bewitched by Sophie, acting without considering the consequences. What will be of him..."


    Nichole watched Bea''s face fall.


    Bea was so angry precisely because James had gone with Sophie to participate in that so-called reality show.


    In their circle, actors were nothing more than tools for entertainment and money-making. James'' reckless actions had made her lose face among the circle of high societydies!


    Now that Nichole had brought it up again, Bea was even more determined to get rid of Sophie.


    Bea noted the calction in Nichole''s eyes and scoffed coldly, "You can''t get rid of Sophie yourself, so you want me to do it. Don''t think I don''t know what you''re plotting! But for James'' sake, I agree. Just remember your ce!"


    If it weren''t for Nicholeing to her with the Freeman family''s entire fortune to negotiate, she would have never epted Nichole back.


    Bea spoke so inly. Nichole quickly stood up and spoke softly, "Bea, I know I was wrong before, but now that we''ve put our past behind us and the Freeman family has already given you what you''re due, you should trust me. I truly love James and would never do anything to harm him or the Burke family."


    Bea grunted, "If there''s nothing else, you can go."


    "And Sophie?"


    "I have my ways."


    Nichole left with a smile.


    Once Nichole had left, Bea called out to Marian, who had been watching from outside. "Marian,e in."


    Marian, having been keeping an eye hurried in at Bea''s call


    is it time to turn off the


    lights and rest?"


    "No, go call Sna for me."


    "Sna?"


    Marian asked in confusion, "But, just yesterday you..."


    "I have something to discuss with her. Just call her over. Don''t worry about the rest."


    "Yes."


    Although Marian was puzzled, she did as Bea asked.


    In the dead of night, Sna dressed quickly and hurried over to the Burke family home.


    Spotting Bea sitting in the living


    room, sipping tea, Sna rushed et


    forward, "Aunt Bea, you had


    someone hurry to call me over. Is there something urgent?" S


    "Thank you foring over sote to see me."


    "What are you talking about? You''re my aunt. If you call me, of course, I''lle."Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.

    trying to build a rtionship with Bea, but the olddy just wouldn''t
