StarNovelChapter 508 She sp Sophie glanced at Colby and quickly figured out what was going on. She spoke into the phone to Tricia, "All right, I know why. Il contact him later." "Okay, Ms. Sophie." After hanging up, Sophie turned to Colby and asked, "Did you sneak a look at my phone?" "I didn't..
Colby didn't seem to be lying, and Sophie remembered her phone had been with her all along, but her intuition told her that Colby had tampered with it somehow.
"Spill it." Hearing Sophie's final ultimatum, Colby had no choice but to cclean. "Adler and Jenna installed a chip in your phone, automatically blocking all calls and messages from James." "And you didn't tell me?" "... forgot" Colby looked innocently guilty Sophie massaged her temples. This indeed sounded like something Adler and Jenna would do.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter the last incident, Adler and Jenna seemed determined to use any means necessary to stop James from harassing her.
"I understand. Il call James back now" Sophie took out her phone and was about to dial James' number when she caught Colby's pitiful gaze. Helplessly, she made the call in front of Colby and then switched to speakerphone.
The phone barely rang before James picked up, his voice deep and questioning. "Where are you?" "I'm at home." cpick you up." "Don't" Sophie frowned, adding, Tm... not at the apartment" There was a pause on the line before James asked in a low voice, "You're at Colby's place?" "Yeah" Sophie turned to Colby. She couldn't let James know she was at the Russell family's main house.
"Grandma wants to see you." "Does Bea want to see me, or does she want to mock me?" Bea had probably seen the news by now and knew about her and James announcing their reconciliation at the dinner. Meeting her at this tsurely meant no goodwill.
"Don't worry, I'll be by your side, and I won't let her say anything too harsh James sounded a bit weary as he spoke, "It's also a part of the agreement. I hope you cooperate." "Fine, Ill go see her." Sophie hung up on James, with Colby looking even more sullen beside her.
Sophie looked around, feigning confusion, and deliberately said, "Where's sour smell coming from?" "Sophie, look atseriously" Colby's words straightened Sophie's face. He said earnestly, "I know James is special to you, but here, there's no room for him." Colby gently tapped Sophie's chest.
Sophie laughed, "Why would you think James is special to me?" "The way you look at him tellshe has a unique presence in your life, not because he was once your husband, but because you can't let go of him." As Colby finished speaking, Sophie's smile faded, and she looked seriously at Colby, saying. Tve never been unable to let go of James. and my heart can only hold one person. You've moved in, and there won't be room for another Colby's face broke into a smile. "Good." Sophie gathered all the ledgers, handing them over to Colby for management By the tshe arrived at the Burke family's house, it was the afternoon.

"You are back! Please cin!" Marian led Sophie into the Burke family hand said, "I heard you would return today, so I prepared a feast!" Marian could hardly contain her happiness, telling Sophie, "Mr. Burke said you're not planning to leave this time. Is that true?" "Til have to leave eventually, I still have work." Marian responded, "True, work is important.” As Marian welcomed Sophie inside, James descended from the upstairs, his expression softening upon seeing Sophie.
Bea, emerging from a room with a less-than-pleased look, eyed James before finally managing to say, "Marian, you really don't understand protocol, do you? Why didn't you callwhen we have a quest?" Marian hurriedly explained, "Madam, I just happened to run into Mrs. Burke." Bea's mood had been unpredictable lately.
Sophie watched Bea, smiling. "Grandma Bea, James and I are still family. How could I be considered a guest?"
Then, she deliberately walked over to James, linked her arm with his and said, “Besides, this is mine NO and James' home. You've been here for quite a few days. Don't you think it's tto go home?" Sophie's words left Bea at a loss for words.
