Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 511

James pressed his lips together, saying, “Sophie…”

“There’s no need for explanations, James. You’re not the type to make the same mistake twice.” Sophie turned to James, stating, “To ensure our agreement proceeds smoothly. I hope you can manage your flock of admirers without causing me unnecessary trouble. Even if you can’t resist, please be discreet”

Sophie offered James a distant smile, causing him to frown. “Does it have to be like this between us?”

“Mr. Burke, there was never supposed to be anything between us in the first place. We’re practically strangers, aren’t we?”

Besides their marriage, there was nothing else between them.

James was always perceptive and sensed something was off.

Sophie lied casually, “I was just curious. The Burke family has built such a vast empire, and it’s incredible how your grandfather managed to establish a business dynasty from scratch.”

While it was during James‘ father’s generation that the Burkes dominated Devonport, and James himself had catapulted Burke International to its zenith, the foundational work James‘ grandfather did for the Burke family was undeniable.
