Chapter 251
“Nichole, have you ordered yet?” At this moment, Ada had just come out of the restroom.
Nichole shook her head. “Not yet.”
Ada frowned and said, “What’s the matter? You can’t even handle something as simple as ordering? Never mind, I’ll do it.”
Ada’s tone clearly carried an air of authority. Everyone present was no fool. This was not merely a colleague speaking but a supervisor.
Nichole’s face tumed sour, wishing she could just disappear. She returned to her seat immediately, distancing herself from James‘
table.
James could tell Sophie was deliberately making things difficult for Nichole. He whispered, “Are you upset?”
“Not really.” Sophie swirled her drink and said, “I just don’t like others touching my things.”
James gave a wry smile. “I thought you were jealous. It seems I was overthinking.”
Sophie had never previously troubled Nichole without reason. He had thought Sophie was acting out of jealousy, but now it was clear that Sophie was stressing her status as Mrs. Burke, not out of jealousy.
But even just that was enough to please him.
James served Sophie some food, saying, “If one day you trouble her out of jealousy, I’d be very happy.”
Sophie didn’t respond. Her actions today were merely to show everyone that James had abandoned Nichole.
Those in their circle were all cunning and perfectly understood the meaning of opportunism.

Nichole’s only value was being James‘ girl. Now that James had no connection with Nichole, others wouldn’t associate with her either. To avoid offending James, they would steer clear of Nichole..
By doing this, Sophie was cutting off all of Nichole’s retreats.
By tomorrow or the day after at the latest, everyone would know James had nothing to do with Nichole anymore.
“Here, try this.”
Ada offered Nichole a piece of steak. Just as Nichole was about to taste it, she suddenly felt nauseous and began to gag.
Nichole’s reaction was loud, drawing attention. Sophie glanced over at her, who was turning red and clutching her chest.
Ada asked with concern, “Are you alright? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I just feel a bit nauseous,” Nichole looked pale and said, “It’s nothing. It’ll pass in a bit.”

“Oh my, could it be, could it be pregnancy?” Ada deliberately raised her voice.
Sophie noticed James‘ hand, which was serving her food, pause.
“Pregnant?” Upon hearing this, Nichole suddenly couldn’t contain her joy. Could she really be pregnant?
Meanwhile, Calla, who had just arrived at the Regent Hotel, happened to hear this.
Calla’s gaze fell on Nichole. She had never met Nichole before, but she knew how well James had treated Nichole in the past.
If Nichole was pregnant, wouldn’t that mean she had even less of a chance of becoming Mrs. Burke?
