CHAPTER 787
Chapter 787
Once upon a time, Sophie was Mrs. Burke, the cherished daughter of the Russell family–a status she always acknowledged as superior to her own. But now, Sophie and James were divorced, the Russell family was bankrupt, and Sophie had lost everything! The title of Mrs. Burke had been snatched away, yet Sophie still dared to confront her!
“Hit you? Oh, you’ve got it all wrong. I’m not just going to hit you.”
Sophie stormed forward, seized Nichole by the hair, and said with a chilling calm, “Nichole, you’ve tried to set me up over and over. I used to let it slide because I couldn’t be bothered. You wanted James? Fine, take him. But you got too greedy, and now you’ve pushed me too far. We’re settling all scores, old and new.”
Nichole felt a shiver run down her spine at Sophie’s words.
Sophie’s eyes were like ice. She had always been a bit detached and easygoing, but she never had this cold, terrifying look!
How could she become so frightening in just a few days?
Sophie turned to the bodyguard and snapped, “Bea’s already confessed to hiring a hitman. Why haven’t you taken her to the police yet?”
“Yes, ma’am!” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
The bodyguard grabbed Bea’s arms. Bea didn’t expect Sophie to act so boldly in the Burke household, and panicked instantly, “What are you doing? I’m James‘ grandmother! If you touch me, James won’t let you off when he gets back!”
Ignoring Bea’s frantic screams, Sophie turned back to Nichole. “And you, you murdered your friend, stole her identity, and committed countless atrocities, even killing your own child. Ricardo and James used to protect you, but now…”
“Sophie… are you insane? I’m James‘ fiancée, the Freeman family heiress! If you lay a finger on me, neither my father nor James will spare you!”
A deep fear welled up in Nichole.

How had Sophie changed so drastically in just a few days?
“The Freeman family heiress?” Sophie sneered. “Stop waving around borrowed plumes. The real Rowena is alive and well. Want to meet her?”
“What?!”
Nichole was floored.
Ricardo had kept Rowena alive?
Sure enough, outside the door, a graceful woman in a white dress–Rowena–walked in. Her gentle, beautiful face and the pristine white lace dress made her look like an untarnished angel.
And Rowena’s dress was identical to Nichole’s!
Sophie watched the scene with a slight smile.
Ricardo had Booker lock Rowena away as a contingency plan.
Now, after Booker turning traitor and revealing Rowena’s location, Ricardo’s move had inadvertently handed her a huge advantage.
Sophie said, “Ricardo won’t help you anymore, and everyone in Devonport knows James‘ fiancée is the Freeman family heiress. Nichole, your time pretending to be the Freeman family heiress is up.”
Sophie shoved Nichole towards Rowena. She
stumbled and fell right at Rowena’s feet.
Facing Rowena’s ghostly, harrowing face, Nichole crawled back in terror.
“Don’t come any closer!”
“Nichole, you stole my identity, took everything from me! You’ve done countless wrongs, and now it’s time you reaped what you’ve sown!”
