Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 22

Only James could be deceived by Nichole. After all, he had a soft spot for Nichole, which made it difficult for him to see the truth.

"Look, it's not a big deal. Nichole still has classes today. I'll take her to school." James gave Nichole a look that signaled it was time to leave.

Nichole looked grateful.

Bea, with a hint of coolness in her voice, said, "Today, I'm going shopping with Sophie. You seem free. Why don't you come along?"

"But Nichole..."

"Let Lee take her. You are, after all, the CEOof Burke International. Don't demean yourself." Bea had spoken her mind.

Nichole bit her lip and said, "Mr. Burke, it's fine if Lee takes me to school."

Nichole bowed politely to Bea. Bea, however, was not impressed by the gesture.

James pursed his lips and said, "I'll walk you out."

Nichole nodded.

As James escorted Nichole out, Bea turned to Sophie. "James is young and easily fooled by such a sly temptress. You should keep a closer eye."

Sophie nodded outwardly, but inwardly, she hoped their relationship would progress even faster.

"I've noticed you've been putting less effort into winning James’s heart lately," Bea said, taking Sophie's hand. "You need to capture his heart quickly, or better yet, have a chubby little baby. Once you have a child, you can tie a man's heart forever."

"I understand, Grandma." Sophie smiled in response.

In reality, capturing James' heart was already an impossibility, much less having his child.
