Chapter 222

“Grandma, you don’t need to worry about the company. I’ve got everything under control.” James‘ voice was low, but the more serious he sounded, the more Bea realized the gravity of the situation.

Bea was trembling all over. “Your Grandpa founded Burke International with his own two hands. If it were to fail on your watch, how could I face him after I’m gone? Are you out of your mind?”

James‘ gaze shifted to Sophie, who was silently sipping her tea on the side. He said calmly, “Grandma, Burke International isn’t going to fail. It’s just a bit of money lost, not as severe as you’re imagining.”

Hearing James say this, Sophie just chuckled to herself. Burke International had never lost so much money since its founding. James‘ nonchalant attitude was merely riding on the deep pockets of the Burke family.

Bea calmed down considerably upon hearing James‘ reassurance. When she looked back at Sophie, she was no longer as imposing as before. She softened, saying, “Sophie, since you know that Burke International is facing tough times, you should really stand by James. It’s a wife’s duty to support her husband. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Sophie looked down and said, “Bea, I’ve been staying with the Russell family these past few days precisely to support James. So, rest assured, even if I’m not home, my heart is with James.”

Bea nodded in satisfaction. “Good girl, I knew I wasn’t wrong about you.”
