“James! James! You can’t take me to the police station! I’m carrying your child! Do you really want the


    mother of your child to go to jail?” Nichole screamed desperately, but James was unyielding. “Gag her.”


    “Yes, Mr. Burke!”


    His men seized Nichole and Katy, dragging them down to the basement.


    “Mmph! Mmph-!” Nichole’s screams were futile.


    “Nichole! My daughter, help me! Save me!” Katy was even more terrified, but the next moment, her


    mouth was gagged as well.

    In the basement, Colt hesitated slightly before saying, “Mr. Burke, if Bea finds out about this…


    “Keep it under wraps.


    “I’m afraid it won’t be long before it leaks.”


    Bea held progeny in the highest regard. Now that Nichole was finally pregnant with Mr. Burke’s child,


    Bea certainly wouldn’t easily give up on the child.


    James was not in the mood to consider this issue. He simply stated, “Go start the car now. I need to


    visit the Russell family.”


    “Understood.”


    The outside world was abuzz with news, and the story of Sophie’s miraculous survival was especially


    viral across the inte.


    At the Russell family estate, Jessica’s expression was sour as she threw the newspaper away. “Sophie!


    Why on earth did you y dead? You were not dead and didn’t say a word. Why would you toy with


    people like this?”


    Jessica’s newspapernded right beneath a pair of red high heels.


    Sophie slightly smiled and said, “Jessica, who are we talking about here?”


    Hearing Sophie’s voice, Jessica jumped up as if she had seen a ghost,


    Upon seeing Sophie’s face, Jessica was even more startled. “Mi–Miss Sophie…”


    Sophie raised an eyebrow. She was wearing a wine–red evening gown, draped in a white fur coat,


    looking exceptionally exquisite.


    “Why are you staring at me as if you’ve seen a ghost? Could it be that you’re not happy to see me


    home?”


    Jessica forced a smile. “How could that be? I couldn’t be happier to have you back home safely.”


    Sophie casually took a seat on a sofa. Jessica looked around and saw that Sophie had brought four


    bodyguards with her.


    Jessica tentatively asked, “Sophie, did youe back alone?”


    “Yes, why? Jessica, were you expecting someone else?”


    “What about Mr. Burke…”


    Jessica was aware of the news about Sophie filing for divorce.


    Seeing the hopeful look in Jessica’s eyes, Sophie smiled and said, “I’ve already given James the


    divorce papers. Now, I will not be returning to the Burke family.”


    When Sophie confirmed it herself, Jessica’s smile vanished instantly. “What? You’re really getting a


    divorce?”


    “Of course. James had an affair and even got his mistress pregnant. I’m definitely divorcing such a


    man. Jessica, shouldn’t you be happy for me?”
