Thements section below was filled with casual observers and fans engaging enthusiastically.


    [Colby, please use your main ount when speaking.]


    [Whenever there''s a fan of the Sophie-Colby ship, Mr. Colby is never far behind...]


    Sophie quietly liked Colby''sment as she read these.


    Just as Sophie was about to exit the page, something in the corner of her eye caught her attention. It was a video clip of her and James on an ind, taken from a live broadcast they did together. Captions apanied each frame of the video.


    [Whenever Mr. Burke looks at Sophie, his eyes are always filled with love.]


    [The hand he unconsciously reached out reflects Mr. Burke''s true feelings.]


    [She looks ahead, but he only has eyes for her.]


    Watching the captions, Sophie felt a sudden daze. During the broadcast, she hadn''t noticed these details.


    Soon, the image of James'' indifferent gaze re-entered her mind.


    Thest time they met, James didn''t look at her with that gaze. Was it his true nature showing, or... was there something else?


    Thinking about this, Sophie took out her phone and scrolled through her contacts to James'' number. She saw his name and hesitated for a moment, but eventually, she decided to call Colt instead.


    At that moment, inside the CEO''s office at Burke International, Colt nced at the caller ID on his phone and looked towards James, who was busy reviewing documents.


    James said without looking up, "Put the phone on silent."


    "Mr. Burke, it''s Ms. Sophie''s call."


    Hearing that it was Sophie''s call, James frowned slightly. He looked up at Colt and said, "Then hang up."


    Colt was stunned.


    Hang up?


    For a moment, he thought he saw a flicker of disgust in Mr. Burke''s eyes.


    "What? You don''t understand what I said?"


    "... Yes, Mr. Burke."


    Colt ended the call.


    On the other end, Sophie saw that her call had been disconnected and knew it was James'' doing.


    She had wanted to inquire about the divorce agreement they had signed earlier. Now, it seemed unnecessary.


    Just as Sophie ended the call, her phone suddenly blew up with numerous trending topics.


    Tricia sent her a message in a very concerned tone.


    Tricia: [Ms. Sophie! Please tell me that was an idental like!]


    Sophie looked down to see the


    opic titled "Sophie Iment, her studio respond lePublished by N?v''elD/rama.Org.

    MS


    Clearly, Tricia had quickly managed some PR after seeing Sophie''s like.


    Sophie immediately opened her social media ount and drafted a post. [No ident, thanks for the concern.]


    Instantly, Sophie''s statement pushed the trending topic to the top.


    Thements section was abuzz with reactions.


    [Did you hear that? It was no ident!]


    [Ah, the Sophie-Colby shippers are ecstatic! This is official confirmation!]


    [At this moment, Sophie-James shippers are heartbroken...]


    Soponly didn''t retract her like


    but also made a social media pos?. Tricia''s call came straight through to Sophie''s phone.


    Sophie answered leisurely. "Hello?"


    Tricia, unusually frustrated, said, "Ms. Sophie! I need a reasonable exnation!"


    "Just the truth. Can''t deceive the fans."


    "The Sophie-James shippers are already dropping off, and some are actively tarnishing your image. Most importantly, Burke International has responded!"
