Chapter 110
“Sophie, must you always speak so sharply?” James stepped in front of Nichole, his voice growing colder.
Sophie did not want to waste time arguing with James at that moment and got straight to the point. “If you don’t want Grandma to see this photo, you’d better do as I soy”
James’ eyes narrowed slightly. “What do you want?”
“I want you to leave the Dennis family alone and compensate them.”
Getting an apology from James was out of the question, and apologies-mere lip service that cost nothing-were far less valuable than compensation.
James replied coldly. “Impossible.”
Impossible? Well then, I’ll just have to show this photo to Grandma and let her know you’ve been lying to her. You came out with me today just to continue your dealings with her.”
Sophie spoke indifferently. “I have nothing to lose, but Nichole? Grandma has already cut her off from all her scholarships and living expenses. I can’t even imagine how Grandma would treat Nichole if this photo ended up in her hands.”
Nichole’s face instantly tumed pale.
“Are you threatening me?”
“Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing.”
Sophie didn’t plan on wasting more words with James, as she held the evidence and had the power to threaten him.
*James…” Nichole looked at James, tears brimming as if they could fall at any moment.
Facing Nichole’s expression, James could only ask, “What kind of compensation do you want?”
“Whatever the Dennis family has lost, you pay double, and from now on, you leave them alone”
“Agreed.”
James agreed promptly, but Sophie knew it was because of Nichole.
After all, Nichole was already so miserable. How could James bear to see her suffer more?
“Do it now, instruct your finance team to handle it. I want to see results today.”
“Sophie, must you be so aggressive?”
“That’s always been my way, you know me.”
Sophie’s attitude remained cold, leaving James speechless. Finally, he had no choice but to call his finance department.
Later, with tears still falling. Nichole said beside James, “It’s all my fault. If you didn’t come to see me, Sophie wouldn’t have caught you in a weak moment, and you wouldn’t have suffered such a loss.”
Sophie, still present, just scoffed quietly, uninterested in engaging further,
“It’s not your fault.” James comforted Nichole, then cast a cold glance at Sophie, clearly blaming her.
Soon, Sophie received a message from Jenna, confirming that her crisis was over. Then, Sophie said to James, “Mr. Burke, you’re generous. You two enjoy your shopping. I’m leaving.”
With a casual look, Sophie then turned and left.
James called after her, “Sophie, Jenna is just an outsider, and you’re making such a fuss for her-you’ll regret this!”
“James, I’m waiting for the day you regret this first.”
Sophie cast a knowing glance at Nichole, but James couldn’t decipher the meaning in Sophie’s eyes now.
Nichole continued to act fragile beside James, crying her eyes out red.
Sophie left the mall and drove off in her luxury car, cutting a long figure into the distance.
When Sophie arrived at Jenna’s company, Jenna was ecstatically jumping around, looking at the newly credited amount.
“Sophie! You’re amazing! Didn’t that s c u b a g have a priceless look on his face?”
