Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 790

"Alright, I'll give you three months."

Sophie, with her entourage in tow, turned and left Rowena behind. In three months, she planned to take Burke International from James without a shred of mercy.

James watched Sophie walk away, falling into a deep silence.

Bea stormed up to him and slapped him hard. "How could the Burke family produce such a foolish wastrel like you? You're not one of us! Go find Sophie now and tell her none of that counted! Go!"

She shoved James, desperate to save the Burke family’s decades-old legacy. But no matter how hard she pushed, James didn't budge.

Finally, when Bea hit him one last time, James grabbed her hand and said coldly, "Have you had enough?"

Bea was taken aback; she never expected James to speak to her like that.

James continued, his voice steady and firm, "I've lived my whole life by your rules. I owe the Burke family nothing, but I do owe Sophie. Rest assured, Grandma, I'll make sure you live out your years in comfort as repayment for raising me."

Turning to Marian, who stood by the door, James ordered, "Pack Bea's things and send her back to the family mansion."

His tone left no room for argument. Marian reluctantly complied, guiding Bea back to her room.

"James..."

Nichole, terrified, tried to throw herself into his arms, but James suddenly gripped the back of her neck.

"Ah—!"

Her words sounded convincing even to herself, but James' eyes remained icy.

"You want to be Mrs. Burke? Fine, I'll make it official. From today, you are my wife."

He placed two marriage certificates in front of her. A glimmer of hope flickered in Nichole’s eyes, but before she could celebrate, James added, "You are Mrs. Burke, till death do us part."

His final words froze her smile.

"James..."

As he stepped closer, Nichole backed away in fear. When she stumbled onto the bed, James took off his suit jacket and adjusted his cuffs.
