Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 340

Suddenly, the sound of a wine glass shattering echoed from the side.

The manager of Russell Enterprises glared at Bea with fury, exclaiming, "The Burke family is going too far! James, you cheat within your marriage, hooked up a college student, and even got her pregnant. Before the divorce is finalized, you bring your mistress to the dinner, which is meant to celebrate the collaboration between our families. What is the meaning of this?!"

"Yeah! The incident of Ms. Sophie falling overboard hasn't even been cleared up yet. Who knows if it was the Burke family's doing to welcome the mistress into the fold on purpose?"

"If it wasn't for Ms. Sophie, do you think we'd be willing to collaborate with you?"

"And now you deliberately organize a dinner to humiliate us. Does the Burke family have no shame?!"

Voices of protest rose and fell around them.

Sophie merely observed the drama unfolding with a calm demeanor. In her view, if the situation didn't escalate, it would indeed be a disservice to her careful planning.

James' gaze landed on Sophie, and he immediately came to his senses, realizing she had orchestrated everything on purpose.

Colt was also struggling to maintain control of the situation. He knew Mr. Burke wanted to use the dinner to mend his relationship with his wife and to leverage the media to create news of the couple's harmonious relationship to stabilize public perception.

But he hadn't anticipated Bea to suddenly bring Nichole to the event, completely disrupting Mr. Burke's plans and exacerbating the conflict with the Russell family. The event plunged into chaos.

At this moment, Bea looked even more displeased. She hadn't expected her words to provoke such outrage, as no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a manner before!

For a moment, she was flustered.

As the situation had almost reached its peak, Sophie slowly rose from her chair, walked to the center of the hall, and addressed the crowd, "I think there's no longer any point in attending this dinner." The executives from Russell Enterprises stood behind Sophie as if to support her.

James then realized something.

Somehow, Sophie had gained control over the entire Russell family. She was no longer the woman who merely followed him around.

Sophie smiled slightly and said, "Since the Burke family lacks sincerity, there's no need for this collaboration. Mr. Burke, let's proceed with the divorce as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be troublesome when it's time for the child's birth."

Sophie's words were loaded with meaning.

James pressed his lips together, his gaze fixed on Sophie as if trying to find a trace of her love for him on her face.

Sophie waved her hand, signaling the people behind her. "Let's go."

The executives from Russell Enterprises all followed Sophie, and in a moment, the majority of the guests had left the banquet hall.

Reece was the last to leave, giving James a look filled with mockery, ridicule, and a hint of teasing.

James' expression turned even sourer.

Bea angrily said, "The Russell family is full of barbarians! James, you shouldn't have pitied them and collaborated with them! They show no gratitude and even walked out on us! If you ask me, we should terminate this collaboration, and you should divorce Sophie as soon as possible!"

"Grandma, don't you understand yet?"

"What?"

James turned to Bea, saying, "Sophie was doing me a favor with this collaboration."

Bea was taken aback.
