Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 516

Bea was frozen in place, unable to believe that James had delivered the evidence to the Devins family. She exclaimed in anger, "This is impossible! Stop trying to drive a wedge between us!"

"Bea, you're a well-known figure in the industry. If this gets out, you could be facing a lawsuit! You'll be totally embarrassed by then."

Morris knew exactly how to hit Bea where it hurt.

Bea's high reputation in the industry was largely due to having a supportive husband, a good son, and a wonderful grandson. Now that James was not protecting Bea, she had no choice but to accept defeat.

Bea slumped onto the sofa as if she couldn't believe that her grandson, whom she had trained with her own hands, would one day abandon her.

Marian quickly came to Bea's aid, warning the Devins family, "She's not well and needs to rest. If you don't leave now, I'll have to call for help!"

"We'll leave, but the debt..."

"It's just a billion dollars. Do you really think the Burke family doesn't have the money? Mr. Burke will surely stand by his grandmother! If you don't leave, I'll call the police and have you all arrested!" Marian was no stranger to tough situations and didn't hold back in her threats.

Morris took a deep breath and then turned to Calla, saying, "Calla, let's go. If the Burke family doesn't give us our compensation by tomorrow, we'll go to the media and have Bea arrested!"
