Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 221

The evening had already set in by the time Sophie drove back to the Burke mansion. As expected, Bea was sitting on the sofa, looking rather displeased.

“Grandma Bea, where’s James?”

Sophie thought Bea would call James back home, but it seemed like Bea wanted to have a one–on–one talk with her.

“He is still in a meeting. I asked him to come back later.”

Sophie remained silent beside her.

Bea said, “I heard from Marian that lately, you’ve hardly been at home, and even when you are, you leave after just a short while. What is it? Have you found somewhere else to live?” There was a hint of accusation in Bea’s tone.
