Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 226

Bea said, “Your father used to collaborate with the Devins family. When you were little, you even met Calla, but she was much younger than you–seven years, to be precise–so it’s normal you don’t remember her.”

“The Devins family isn’t doing as well, but they’re still a publicly traded company. Having Ms. Calla work here as a maid really is beneath her.” James‘ tone was cool.

It was clear to Calla that James had known about her identity all along and had just been pretending not to. She looked down, feeling a bit dejected.

Bea locked reproachfully at James and said, “Maid? I like this girl too much to even think about having her work as a servant. Calla is just so caring, and we get along so well. I love having her take care of me. So, I asked her to stay by my side for a few days. I won’t allow you to treat her as a maid.”

At that moment, Sophie came down the stairs. Bea turned to her, saying, “I will not allow you to treat her as a maid, and Sophie can’t either. Calla is here to take care of me and should only listen to me.”

“Bea, the Burke family has been kind to my family. I’m here to take care of you because I want to, and that includes looking after Mrs. Burke and James as well,” Calla said, even though she had already seated herself next to Bea.

Bea affectionately took Calla’s hand. “You are so adorable. The more I see you, the more I like you. If only you were my granddaughter.” Sophie looked on coldly. Bea wasn’t looking for a granddaughter. She clearly wanted a daughter–in–law.

“If you like Ms. Calla so much, then adopting her as a granddaughter wouldn’t be a bad idea, Grandma,” James suddenly chimed in, which made Bea’s smile fade a bit.

James, the student you helped, who are they?”

“Why ask about that? That woman had ill intentions, and James had already stopped sponsoring her. Let’s not mention her again.”

“I understand.”
