Sophie grabbed the contract, her eyes scanning the text that confirmed James would hand over all Burke International shares to her in three months.

"Handing over all of Burke International? I thought Mr. Burke was joking, but it seems he's actually serious," she mused.

James' face remained impassive. "When I say something, I mean it. But..."

"But what?"

"But I doubt you'll make it three months."

James' words wiped the smile right off Sophie's face. He raised an eyebrow, adding, "I heard Odie injected you with some new drug. Ms. Sophie, you've been pampered your whole life and probably never faced any real hardship. If you don't survive these three months, well, the money won't be yours."

Sophie looked down at the contract again and, sure enough, there was a clause stating that if either party died within three months, the contract would be null and void.

Scoffing, Sophie quickly signed her name and coldly said, "Rest assured, Mr. Burke. Just for the sake of taking over Burke International, I'll make sure to stay alive—at least for the next three months." "Let's see," James replied.
