Chapter 17

“Do you have something urgent to take care of soon?”

“Nothing really important.”

Sophie didn’t argue against Colby’s words,

In her past life, she had been married to James for many years, and James never involved her in the Burke family’s affairs.

Adler parked the car in front of the grand entrance of the Burke family mansion. The lights of the Burke residence were still off, meaning that James hadn’t returned yet.

“Thank you, Colby, and thank you, Adler.”

Sophie got out of the car.

Adler glanced at the time. “And you’re already late!”
