StarNovelChapter 519 After James went upstairs, Sophie approached Marian and asked, "Marian, what's in this little box?" "Oh, this? This is a sapphire ring handed down through generations of the Burke family. Bea said it was to be given to the Devins family" As she spoke, Marian opened the ring box. Sophie, who had a deep appreciation for fine jewelry, took a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the supphire and the circle of diamonds set around it. It looked like an item from a century ago.

It's incredible that Bea would give something so valuable to the Devins family" "Used by royalty?" "That's what Bea said, but I don't know the details." Marian looked down at the ring in her hand and asked, "Madam, should we deliver the ring to the Devins family now?" "I take care of it." "How could we possibly trouble you with this, Madam?" "It's fine. It's also a good opportunity forto have a chat with the Devins family." "Alright then, if you insist, Madam. It makes things easier for me." Marian handed the ring to Sophie.
Sophie placed the ring in her bag and then said, "Marian, please go ahead with your tasks, I need to have a word with Bea." "Madam, she is quite upset right now. If she speaks harshly, please be patient." "I understand." Sophie walked down the hallway to Bea's room and knocked.
Bea responded coldly. "I'm not going to move out, so stop asking!" "It's me." Hearing Sophie's voice, Bea fell silent.
Sophie opened the door and saw Bea sitting on the edge of her bed. "Bea, are you still angry with me?" "Don't pretend to care, Sophie. Just because James likes you doesn't mean you can do whatever you want in the Burke family! Men are fickle creatures. He liked Nichole before, and now he likes you. Who's to say he won't like someone else in the future? When James stops protecting you, you'll be nothing!" Bea's tone was harsh, but Sophie remained unfazed. “Yes, men are fickle, so whoever James likes in the future has nothing to do with me." "What do you mean?" "Bea, you must understand the position the Burke family would be in if I don't reconcile with James," Bea frowned.

Naturally, you wouldn't know how the stock market has been struggling these past few months." "Sophie, stop the nonsense. How could the Burke family's vast empire suffer just because of you? You think I don't understand?" "Times have changed. One issue leads to another. The scandal involving me, James, and Nichole has negatively impacted Burker International's reputation, causing many partners to back out. My reconciliation with James is simply a chance for the company to recover. If you keep fighting with me, we might as well go our separate ways. After all, I have nothing to lose and wouldn't mind dragging you down with me." Enraged, Bea stood up and accused, "Sophie! How can you be so heartless? If it weren't for me, would you have ever married James? You claim to love him, and now you're threatening to harm him?” Sophie's smile faded. “Bea, I am heartless. If you provokefurther, I assure you the Burke family will not have an easy time. Perhaps we should agree to stay out of each other's way. In six months, I'll divorce James, and you'll be rid of a thom in your side. What do you think?" Boa, skeptical, asked, "James would Agree to a divorce?" Of course "Fine, I won't make things difficult for you, but I absolutely will not move out." Chapter 519
Sophie didn't press further. "Alright, then. Whether you love out or hot isn't important.
As Sophie was about to leave, Bea coldly stated, "Even if you divorde James, don't expect to get a penny of the family fortune!" "Don't worry. I couldn't care less about the Burke family's wealth." Bea scoffed at Sophie's bold claim, thinking her pretentiously noble.
Sophie left Bea's room and told Colt in the living room, "Taketo the Devins family." "But Bea...."
"She's not moving out. Just taketo the Devins family first. I have m matters to to discuss with them." Chapter X
