Colt never expected James to be so ruthless.

After discovering the body, they quickly noticed the telltale signs. Nichole hadn't been burned to death. She was shot before the fire. And the one who'd do such a thing? It had to be James!

Even though Nichole had been Mrs. Burke before her death, if the Burke family didn't prepare a proper funeral, it would definitely raise suspicions. That wouldn't be good for either the Burke family or James. "Colt, should we really follow Mr. Burke's orders?"

After a moment of thought, Colt replied, "Let's go back and get Bea's opinion."

"Yes, Bea."
