Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 452

Mr. Briggs stormed out his departure causing a ripple of suppressed laughter among the onlookers

He was a philanthropist, and Bea, a well–known figure, had managed to escalate a disagreement to this extent.

Adler was visibly struggling to maintain his composure.

The sound of Bea flipping a table from the adjacent private dining room could be heard, prompting the waiter to rush in and tidy up. Only then did the laughter break free.

*I really didn’t expect it. That two–faced old lady was about to swear!” Adler exclaimed.

Jenna chimed in, clearly amused. “This is the first time I’ve found gossip so entertaining. None of the stories I’ve heard before were as juicy as today’s.”

She watched Sophie and asked, “So, does this mean Nichole’s chances with the Burke family are slim to none now?”

Raising an eyebrow Sophie replied, “After this spectacle, Bea surely won’t welcome Nichole.”

In truth, given Rowena’s background, Bea couldn’t have been more pleased.

Rowena was of the right age and came from a respectable family. Her father was a philanthropist, and they didn’t possess the overwhelming power of the Burke family, making them easier to manipulate.

Bea must have thought that by relying on Nichole, who was pregnant, it was only a matter of time before she could drive a wedge between James and his wife.

Unfortunately, she had cut off Nichole’s path into the Burke family.

A wildcard like Nichole, not under her control, would never catch Bea’s eye, especially since the Freeman family had disrespected her.
