Chapter 468

Sophie stood to the side, watching the drama unfold with a detached air.

At that moment, James hurried over. As he entered, he saw Mr. Briggs and Bea in the middle of their heated argument. He immediately went forward, supporting Bea. "Grandma, you..."

"James! This is the girl you like! Look at the show her family is putting on!"

"Grandma, what are you saying?" James had just arrived and was unaware of what had transpired.
