Chapter 17

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

“Nothing really important.”

“Devonport may seem calm, but it’s dangerous, especially since you’re James’ wife.”

Sophie raised an eyebrow. “Colby, James isn’t like you. He’s a legitimate businessman.”

Colby said indifferently, “In a place mixed with all sorts of business, even James might not be clean.”

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.

On the surface, James was a legitimate businessman, but how could a man wielding absolute power in Devonport be entirely clean?

Perhaps James hid it deeper, and Colby didn’t bother to hide. After all, rumors had it that Colby had no weaknesses.

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