As James stormed over, visibly furious, the bodyguard by his side released his grip in fear. James approached, checking Sophie over with concern. "Let me see, are you hurt?"

"Mrs. Roberts? Who employs you, the Roberts or the Burke family? Who gave you permission to disrespect my wife?!"

"... Yes, Mr. Burke."
