Chapter 295 Chapter 295 Sophie coldly shook off James' hand, saying icily, "Sorry, I can't do that." The next moment, the grand doors of the Russell Estate were flung open, and a crowd surged in, causing the maids to scatter in fear. Jessica, in particular, hid behind Perry, exclaiming, "Honey! What are we going to do about this?" James spoke softly, "Sophie, I'm saying this one last time, cwith me." Sophie remained unmoved, leading to a standoff.
Jessica was the first to break down, wailing, "Sophie! I told you to go with Mr. Burke and you wouldn't listen. Why are you so stubborn? Do you really have to push things this far?" Jessica cried as she slapped her thigh, "Sophie, you are going to ruin this family!" Shut up!" Perry was nearly driven mad by Jessica's incessant nagging. Pointing at James, he bellowed, "The biggest regret of my life was marrying Sophie off to a monster like you. Do you really think you're above the law in Devonport? James, you're far too arrogant." James glanced coldly at Perry, "In Devonport, my word is the law." At that moment, applause cfrom outside. "Well said, 'In Devonport, my word is the law'."

Each one enough to bring down Burke International, Don't you want to take a look, Mr. Burke?" Colt picked up the USB from the ground, worry evident in his eyes as he approached James, whispering, "Mr. Burke, the Costello family used to be powerful, and the people here today are all their loyal followers. We really shouldn't confront them directly, or we might end up worse off." James frowned deeply. If he gave up now, he didn't know if he'd ever get another chance to get close to Sophie. Sophie smiled nonchalantly, “Mr. Burke, as businessmen, we should aim for peace and agreement and assess the situation wisely. It should be clear who has the upper hand now." James said, "What if I decide to take you away today, no matter what?" Then you'll have to step over my dead body!" Suddenly, Bea's voice rang out from outside the Russell Estate.
Bea arrived with a fierce momentum, her complexion far from good, clearly having rushed here from the hospital.
James was taken aback, "Grandma?" Sophie coldly shook off James' hand, saying icily, "Sorry, I ca do that."
