Chapter 286 Sophie certainly didn't miss the flicker of fear in Nichole's eyes.
Sophie slowly approached, her eyes twinkling with amusement. “It seems your attempt on my life was unsuccessful. What a pity. Now that I've miraculously survived and stand before you once again, do you still have the courage to try and killa second time?" Nichole's complexion tumed even more unsightly. "What are you babbling about? What does your falling overboard have to do with me?" Bes, too, frowned, saying, "Sophie, why didn't you cback if you were alive? Do you have any idea how worried we have been? And to appear now, at a funeral of all places, you're really being so thoughtless!"

She vividly remembered, in her past life, how she had tried her best to please Bea, obeying her every word, even more dutifully than to her own parents. But to Bea, Sophie was merely a tool to be used.

Sophie turned to Nichole and asked, "Ms. Nichole, how long have you been pregnant? Two weeks? Three? Or is it four?" All the guests around them heard Sophie's query.
Two weeks ago, Sophie had not yet met with her accident, meaning James had already been unfaithful before her supposed demise.
The crowd gasped in shock.
This mistress had just gotten pregnant when the legitimate wife was involved in a kidnapping case, nearly losing her life at sea. It was clear to all that this was no accident but a battle for power within a wealthy family.

Since Nichole is pregnant, naturally, I should step aside." Bea thought she had misheard. "What did you say?" Sophie turned to address everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen/1 am announcing my divorce from James today. From here on out, we will go our separate ways with no further connection." Upon hearing this, Nichole couldn't hide her joy.
However, Bea's expression was far from pleasant. Sophie's public declaration was a direct affront to the Burke family's dignity. They would be the laughingstock of Devonport by tomorrow.
"Ridiculous! What are you talking about? It seems the sea has muddled your brain!" Bea attempted to grab Sophie but was blocked by people standing close to her.

Suddenly, ten men in black suits flooded into the church forming e protective Circle around Sophie. Bea was taken aback at such a display. Had Sophie cprepared?
"Bea, make no mistake, it's your grandson who mistreated me. How is asking for @divorce irrational?” "You... You really want to be the death of mel" Bea was pointing at Sophie, but suddenly, she couldn't catch her breath and fainted.
The crowd was thrown into chaos, and an ambulance was immediately called.
