Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 531

Outside the office, Tricia stood guard at the door. As soon as Bea emerged, she was greeted by Tricia's beaming smile. Bea snorted coldly and stormed off.

After Bea left, Tricia entered the office to find Sophie lounging comfortably in her office chair. She couldn't help but express her concern, "She caused such a scene at the company. I fear things won't settle down anytime soon."

Sophie responded, "She wouldn't dare confront me openly, but she'll probably scheme behind my back. Keep a close eye on her. That woman has many tricks up her sleeve. I suspect she's trying to find evidence of infidelity to force me into divorcing James or, worse, to publicize it and have me shamed publicly. Then, the old guard of the Burke family will surely try to oust me from my position as Mrs. Burke, and I'll lose my title and dignity."

"Could she really go that far, considering you're family?"

"What can't she do? She's heartless in many ways."

No one knew Bea better than Sophie did. Bea was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"I'll have someone keep a closer eye on things and report back to you immediately, Ms. Sophie."

"Alright."

Sophie acknowledged, and Tricia continued, "What about the debut, Ms. Sophie..."

"Ah, my head is starting to hurt..."

Sophie pressed a hand to her forehead, causing Tricia to pause and ask, "Ms. Sophie, are you alright? Should I call a doctor?"

"It's nothing, just a bit of a headache." Sophie sounded distressed. "Let's discuss
