Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 456

"Mr. Burke, please, don't rush off just yet. Why not sit down and enjoy the show first?" Skye emerged from not too far away, her face adorned with a calm smile.

James frowned and said, "Sophie is ill. Why am I only hearing about this now?"

"Ms. Sophie might be sick, but it doesn't hinder the show from going on. Besides, this was Ms. Sophie's wish."

Skye's words were tinged with meaning. Colt, standing by, asked, "Mr. Burke, are we still leaving?"

James was silent.

"Mr. Burke, the show is about to start soon, and I'm sure you wouldn't mind sparing a little more time," Skye stepped forward, lowering her voice. "Ms. Sophie will be here shortly, rest assured, Mr. Burke."

The frown on James' face finally eased slightly.

By then, both the guests and the judges had arrived.

"Mr. Burke, Mr. Ricardo, what a pleasure to meet you both!"

Many came forward to greet them. Seeing James had decided to stay, Skye stepped back, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
