Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 199

“Mr. Burke, everything has been taken care of.”

“What about the investigation I asked you to conduct?”

“Mrs. Burke visited the Russell family today, and it seems something went wrong at their dinner party, causing the Russells to leave early. Later, someone saw Colby making a scene there and taking away Perry's brother-in-law, Sam.”

“The CEO of the Fisher Group?”

“Yes.”

Colt said, “Jessica approached us for a partnership recently, and considering our connections with the Russell family, we even offered her a project.”

James remained silent.

“Mr. Burke,” Colt hesitated, then added, “I heard it’s not the first time Colby has caused trouble at the Russell family’s place.”

“What do you mean, not the first time?” James frowned.

Colt explained. "The last time Colby caused a stir there was about three months ago, right after Mrs. Burke had a car accident."

"Wasn't the accident just that, an accident?"

"It's said it wasn't an accident. It was Perry's son who orchestrated it, probably as a hit. Colby was likely trying to seek justice for Mrs. Burke, so he stormed the Russell family's home."

James' brow furrowed deeper. He had never known any of this, and Sophie had never mentioned a word!NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

James clenched his fists. "Drive me to the Russell family's house now!"

"Right away!"

It was late at night. Perry heard some noise outside, quickly got dressed, and went out, only to find James sitting leisurely yet coldly on the living room sofa.

Perry's heart skipped a beat. He remembered Sophie's recent talks of divorce, mostly because of James' alleged affairs. He approached James, his voice slightly strained. "Mr. Burke, what brings you here so late at night?"

"Something happened when Sophie returned from the dinner party today. I came to ask you what exactly occurred." James' tone was neutral.

Perry was surprised that James had come concerning Sophie. He replied, "Colby already came by today, and we resolved the situation. Why are you only showing up now? You're supposed to be Sophie's husband."

Perry mentioned Colby, and a flash of murderous intent crossed James' eyes.

Perry couldn't really offend James, so he only spoke irritably. "It was my reckless wife. She conspired with Sam to drug Sophie..."

"What did you say?" A dangerous aura enveloped James. "You're saying Sam drugged Sophie?"

Knowing he was at fault, Perry felt somewhat guilty as he explained, "Colby has already taken him away. Mr. Burke. If you want justice for Sophie, you might have to confront Colby!"

James' fists tightened, and his expression darkened.

"Besides, you two are nearly divorced anyway. Sophie's affairs shouldn't concern you much now!" Perry gained some courage in front of James. James frowned, "Divorce? Who told you that?"

"It came from Sophie herself. Since there's no love left, there's no point in dragging this out. Sophie has met someone better, and Mr. Burke, you've taken a liking to someone else, too. It's time to let each other go."

'Bang!"

James suddenly stood, slamming his hand on the table, startling Perry. His expression was ominously stern. "Someone better? Is that Colby?" Perry involuntarily swallowed, too scared to respond. After all, crushing the Russell family now would be as simple as lifting a finger for James.
