Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Upon hearing James’ words, Nichole lowered her head, standing by his side like a docile and gentle wife. Her appearance was akin to that of a startled rabbit. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Sophie felt a chill in her heart as James’ indifferent gaze mirrored that of someone she had known in a past life.

She had intended to express her gratitude, but it was clear now that James simply didn’t care.

“I’m very tired. Do as you please.”

Sophie went upstairs. Her thoughts were no longer on James and Nichole.

If Ryan could harm her so easily, so could others. She couldn’t always rely on James without having any ability to protect herself.

The next morning, Sophie got ready to leave early. Just as she was descending the stairs, she noticed Bea seated in the living room, with Nichole standing beside her, looking as if she had just cried.

“Grandma Bea?”

Sophie frowned. It was unusual for Bea to visit. What brought her here suddenly?

‘James told me you spent ten billion on a piece of land? There was a hint of accusation in Bea’s tone. Sophie went downstairs, sat down in front of Bea, and poured her some tea. “Yes, that’s true.”

“Were you kidnapped by enemies last night as well?

“Yes.” Sophie looked down.

“We are not an ordinary family. Once a woman is married, she should keep a low profile. Business is for the men. What you need to focus on now is having children to prevent others from getting the wrong

idea.”

Bea’s words were filled with solemn advice as she glanced at Nichole, who was standing beside her.

Upon hearing this, Nichole’s eyes reddened again. “Grandma Bea, I just…”

Bea’s cold gaze swept over Nichole, who was at a loss for words.

“James’s taste is really declining. He’s bringing just anybody into our house!”

Sophie couldn’t help but remember the past life as she observed Bea’s treatment of Nichole.

In the past, Bea had also protected her and disliked Nichole, but this situation did not last long.

A few years later, when the Russell family fell into decline, and Sophie was unable to have children, Nichole returned to the country and became James’ right-hand woman. She was also very attentive to Bea, who eventually gave up on Sophie, and supported Nichole to become Mrs. Burke.

In the end, it was all just a tangled web of interests.

James, who was just about to leave for the office, happened to overhear Bea’s words and frowned. “Grandma, Nichole was injured last night, and I asked her to stay here for the night. Please don’t blame her.”

Bea scoffed, “That’s what you think, but she might not see it that way. When I came over this morning, she had already prepared breakfast. I didn’t know you have got a new wife.”

Nichole looked upset. She had intended to prepare breakfast early to wait for James, but Bea had arrived just as she finished cooking. She didn’t even have a chance to explain before her intentions were seen through

“Grandma Bea, I… I just wanted to make breakfast to thank Sophie and Mr. Burke. I had no other

intentions.”

Sophie observed Nichole and knew that at this moment, Nichole was still too inexperienced.

Bea had lived for decades and had seen a
