Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 497

"Where does James fit into all of this? Why is Colby targeting James?"

Sophie remembered something from her past life. When Colby arrived in Devonport, it didn't take long for him and James to become rivals. He fought a barely concealed battle with the Burke family, a struggle that was clear to all onlookers. James was his formidable opponent.

To say that James wasn't Colby's target would be a lie. Sophie clenched her fists anxiously and asked, "Could it be..."

"No." Gordon, as if knowing what Sophie was about to say, cut her off directly.

He explained, "Colby is just suspicious. There's no solid proof. After all, the Burke family isn't one of the four major families. Their rise was an absolute surprise to those lineages."

“But the Burke family has a century-old foundation."

"Of that, I'm not certain. The family archives do not list the Burke family among the four major families. The Burkes rose to prominence during James' grandfather's generation. During his father's time, they had reached their zenith, and James brought the family to its current state of power, making them incredibly strong."
