Chapter 90
Sophie arched an eyebrow, and Jenna laughed in exasperation. “Who is she? What a foolish question. I can’t believe you asked that! Do you really work at Burke International? You don’t know the wife of Mr. Burke?”
Hearing this, Gattlin’s face changed colors. It’s like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat, unable to utter a word.
“Oh, right, didn’t Nichole tell you? This is Mr. Burke’s wife, the eldest daughter of the prestigious Russell family, Sophie. From your actions just now, I thought you were ready to defend Nichole, even at the cost of offending Mrs. Burke.”
Jenna was always straightforward and never minced her words,
Gattlin’s face was like a palette, changing colors several times in just a moment.
Sophie spoke coolly, “I seldom accompany James to social events, so it’s no wonder the manager doesn’t recognize me. But I’ll remember you, especially after today.” Sophie emphasized the last few words,
Gattlin was so frightened that his legs turned weak. He hurriedly stammered, “I didn’t recognize you! I’m sorry I offended you, madam. I was just carrying out Mr. Burke’s instructions. I didn’t realize you were already here. I”
“No need to explain, Sophie said with a playful smile. “When I get back, I’ll make sure to tell James just how much effort you put in today to fulfill his orders.”
Gattlin felt utterly drained upon hearing this. He had always known that James was close to Nichole but had forgotten about his lawful wife!
Now, the real deal was standing right before him, and he wondered what he had said!
“Security, remove this person.”
Gattlin didn’t dare say another word. With a casual wave of her hand from Jenna, Nichole was dragged out by security the arms, leaving the Diamond Crest Hotel in utter humiliation.

After Nichole was kicked out, Jenna burst out, “Shameless! What a bitch! Kicking her out like that was too lenient! She’d better get hit by a car the moment she steps out!”
“Hey!” Adler quickly covered Jenna’s mouth. “Jenna! You’re a CEO. Mind the occasion and your words, will you?”
Jenna glared at Adler, her eyes seemingly screaming silent curses. Intimidated by her look, Adler quickly withdrew his hand.
Jenna, still fuming, said, “She ruined a perfect property launch! Will everyone be laughing at the Dennis family y tomorrow?”
“Nonsense! If anyone dares to laugh at you, I turn them into a laughingstock!”
Hearing Adler’s words, Jenna finally cooled down a bit.
Sophie said, “This was my fault. I didn’t expect James to send Nichole over.”

Jenna took her hand. “This has nothing to do with you. It’s all that James fault. What was he thinking? He has a wife and is messing. around outside! What a deadbeat man. He should also get hit by a car!”
Adler’s ears were practically calloused from hearing it. “Can’t you think of anything else besides getting hit by a car?”
“I have class! That’s the only line I know!”
That was probably the funniest joke Adler had heard all year.
As the party reached the late hours, the grand doors of the venue suddenly burst open. Security couldn’t stop them as several men in black suits entered. James, in a crisp suit, marched in, his gaze sharp as a knife. Everyone held their breath, not expecting James to actually show up to cause a scene.
James swept his gaze around, finally resting on Sophie and Jenna.
“Clear the room.”
His eyes narrowed dangerously, and the crowd quickly dispersed from the Diamond Crest Hotel.
