Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 482

Wendy fled in a panic, and at that moment, Reece's car rolled up to the venue.

"Mr. Reece..." Julian was dressed in an expensive suit, sitting beside Reece.

Reece smiled and said, "You're the one she's interested in. Just call me Reece in private."

"Why did you want me to come?"

"Because... she wants to give Ricardo a grand gift."

Reece and Julian got out of the car, instantly becoming the center of attention due to their handsome looks.

Reece spotted Tricia waiting in the lobby and asked, "Tricia, where's Sophie?"

"Ms. Sophie was just invited upstairs."

"By James?"

"Yes."

Reece frowned, inevitably glancing up at the second floor.

Upstairs, Colt led Sophie to James' study.

The Burke family's main house was a place Sophie seldom visited. It was originally James' residence and much more spacious than their new home. Colt knocked on the door, saying, "Mr. Burke, Ms. Sophie is here."

"Come in."

Colt had already changed how he addressed Sophie.

As the door opened, Sophie saw James sitting at the desk.

He wore gold-rimmed glasses, holding a document in his hand.

Upon seeing Sophie enter, his gaze became as cold and distant as before, as if he was just meeting a business partner.

"Mr. Burke, you wanted to see me about something?"

"The divorce agreement. I've drafted a new one."

James pushed the document toward Sophie.

Sophie read the terms. They were different from before. Burker International would provide Sophie with a divorce settlement. Still, the agreement stipulated that to protect the image of Burker International, the divorce must be kept a strict secret for six months, publicly claiming a reconciliation.

Furthermore, Sophie must appropriately show affection in public appearances with James, and after the divorce, there must be no financial entanglements between them.

Lastly, Sophie must not create any public defamation against Burker International. To maintain both parties' images, neither party is allowed to marry within a year. Sophie, holding the divorce agreement, couldn't help but laugh. "James, are you joking with me?"

"I've already signed this divorce agreement. These terms are my conditions. As long as you can meet them, I will give you a divorce settlement of ten billion." James' tone left no room for doubt.

Sophie knew what kind of person James was. Since he had gone this far, it meant he had made his final compromise and would not back down any further.

She said, "You want to announce our reconciliation. What about Nichole? You were supposed to announce your engagement today."

"I never said I was going to announce my engagement to her today."

James' response made Sophie realize something. He wasn't planning to announce his engagement to Nichole at this event but to announce his reconciliation with Sophie! Sophie frowned. "James, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"It's not your concern. I'm just asking if you're willing to go through with it."

The divorce conditions were laid out in front of her.

After staring at the divorce agreement for a while, Sophie finally said, "Fine, I'll sign it."

Even though it was just for show in front of others, fundamentally, she and James were getting a divorce.

Sophie signed the divorce agreement and stood up.

After a while, James looked at the divorce agreement and said, "I'll send the contract to you after going through the legal process in the next few days." "Okay."

Sophie was about to leave when James suddenly spoke up, "How do you plan to explain this to Colby?"

"He'll understand."

What she wanted was a divorce. It was just a six-month show and wasn't a loss for her.

After Sophie left, Colt entered and asked in confusion, "Mr. Burke, she..."

"She is Mrs. Burke." James handed the divorce agreement to Colt, saying, "Go through the process."

Colt held the divorce agreement, stunned upon seeing its terms, "Mr. Burke, this... what is this?"

He stared at James incredulously, unable to believe the content of the divorce agreement in his hand.

James took off his glasses, coldly saying, "Let's head to the front hall."

In the hall, everyone was waiting for James and Nichole's appearance. Mr. Briggs was also smiling exceptionally brightly among the crowd.

At that moment, Ricardo made a dramatic entrance, disrupting the atmosphere in the Burke family hall.

Who among those present didn't know the love story between Ricardo and Rowena? Now that Nichole was to marry another, and Ricardo arrived uninvited, it seemed a dramatic scene was about to unfold. "Mr. Ricardo, Julian is here." The secretary reminded him softly.

Ricardo frowned.

Mr. Briggs' expression darkened, and at this moment, Ricardo had no time to deal with Julian. Ricardo's gaze fell on Mr. Briggs, and he stepped forward, saying, "Mr. Briggs, congratulations."
