Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

“Where did you get the money?”

Ten billion wasn’t a small sum, and James was well aware of the limited assets that the Russell could mobilize. It was impossible for her to come up with such a large amount of money so

“This is my own business, so you don’t need to worry about it.”

“Sophie, don’t forget that I am your husband.”

Sophie let out a self-deprecating laugh.

Husband?

James had always considered that a disgrace. When did he suddenly remember that he was her husband? “You’re just worried because you’re afraid that I’ll lose this ten billion and drag down the Burke family.”

James was silent.

Seeing his reaction, Sophie knew she had guessed right. “Don’t worry, I won’t involve the Burke family in this. I am well aware that our marriage is a business alliance. Your success is mine, and your losses are mine, too. Now, you don’t need to make three trips a day to the house.”

James was speechless. He had indeed thought this way, which is why he had been so cold to Sophie after their marriage. He had not even slept with her once.

However, hearing these words from Sophie suddenly made him realize he’s going too far.

James was about to say something when Sophie’s phone suddenly beeped. It was a notification for at money transfer.

She hadn’t expected Colby to be so quick. In just an hour, eight billion had been transferred.

With the matter resolved, a smile spread across Sophie’s face.

James pursed his lips. He suddenly remembered how Sophie used to follow him around with that same smile, but he had never cared.

“There’s a gala tonight. You should come with me.”

“Me?” Sophie was about to head upstairs but frowned.

James retorted, “Don’t want to?”

“Why don’t you take Nichole to the gala?” Sophie was puzzled.

She remembered that in the past, James always took Nichole with him to any banquet or social gathering. If she wasn’t mistaken, this was an international gala. In a previous life, she had fought and argued to go, but James had still taken Nichole, also indirectly paving the way for Nichole’s future studies abroad.

Why would James suddenly think of taking her to such an important event?

“You are my wife. Naturally, you should accompany me to such events.”

Sophie didn’t buy that explanation, assuming Nichole must have been otherwise engaged for James to

finally remember her.

Well, it was good for her to attend these events, too. She was intending to start her own business and needed to network more.

“Sure. I’ll get ready.”

When Sophie agreed, James breathed a sigh of relief. At least Sophie was still willing to be Mrs. Burke int name. Perhaps she hadn’t completely given up hope in him. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Meanwhile, Nichole was in her dorm room, admiring the dress James’ secretary had sent over.

Her roommate looked on enviously. “Nichole, your boyfriend is so good to you. He sent you such a beautiful dress.”

A blush crept up Nichole’s cheeks.

“When can you introduce us to your boyfriend?”

“Yeah, your boyfriend is so wealthy and always takes you to various galas. We’re so curious!”

Nichole shook her head. “His company is very busy. It’s hard for him to find time. Next time there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you.”

Just then, Nichole’s phone rang. She saw it was James’ secretary calling a Mr. Burke sending you to pick me up? I’ll be right down.”

“Ms. Nichole, Mr. Burke says you don’t need to come today.”

answered happily. “Colt, is
