Chapter 169
1. I didn’t. Nichole looked towards James for help, her voice shaking. “I was just so scared. I didn’t expect Mr. Harold to be the one coming in”
“What? You didn’t expect Harold, but you thought it would be James?”
Sophie’s comment made Nichole’s face turn red.
James pursed his lips and said, “This is all just a misunderstanding”
“A misunderstanding?” Jenna pushed through a group of bodyguards and entered, saying, “Harold is the second son of the prestigious Aldridge family. He’s been humiliated and falsely accused by your mistress. Do you think you can just dismiss this as a misunderstanding?”
James was about to speak when he noticed Gordon, sitting in a wheelchair, appearing behind Jenna.

James frowned deeply. Sophie was also startled. She hadn’t expected Jenna had gone to call Gordon.
Wasn’t Gordon supposed to be weak and ill?
Despite Gordon’s visibly unhealthy complexion at the moment, he remained unfazed. Sophie couldn’t help but admire this man. Gordon was truly a character. She had met him twice, yet she couldn’t fathom his deep thoughts. It was probably best to keep a distance from him.
James frowned, “Mr. Gordon?”
Gordon didn’t intend to waste words with James. He raised a hand, and his bodyguards stepped forward, trying to pull Nichole out of bed.
“What are you doing! James! Help!”
Nichole cried out to James for help. She was barely clothed, wrapped only in a towel. As the bodyguards tugged, the jacket draped over her shoulders slipped to the floor.
James spoke toldly, “Gordon. Are you planning to kidnap her right in front of me??
Gordon replied indifferently. “She slandered my brother and tamished the reputation of the Aldridge family. Mr. Burke, I know you are reluctant to deal with this, so I made the decision for you to hand her over to the police, to deal with it by law.”
“James, I don’t want to go to jail. Help me!” Nichole cried pitifully.
James frowned, “And what if I tried to stop you?”
Sophie said. “James, I advise you to think carefully. You know Nichole did something wrong. Do you still want to indulge her? Even favoritism should have its limits.”
