Calla had mustered all her courage to speak those words, but with just a brief response from James, she became the laughingstock among those present.
In an instant, Calla's eyes welled up with tears.
Bea fiercely yelled at Sophie, "Sophie, what kind of love potion have you fed my grandson, making him say such things?"
"Grandma, it's not her fault." James' gaze was intense, and Sophie averted her eyes from him.
A nearby officer said, "According to Mr. James' statement, Sophie was kidnapped by her own family members, Isaac and Jessica."
"Then let's immediately arrest Isaac and Jessica."
"Yes, Chief."
Several officers moved out together.
James, from the beginning to the end, had no intention of defending himself.
Bea gritted her teeth and said, "James, for a woman, you're willing to throw away the Burke family's reputation?"
"If I did it, I'll admit it."
James spoke to Colt, who had been following him, "Colt, take Grandma home."
Sophie furrowed her brows, about to speak, but Colby grabbed her wrist. He pulled Sophie into his arms, saying, "Sophie is my woman. To insult her is to insult me."
Sophie looked at Colby's profile. He always seemed so carefree, as if nothing mattered to him, but just now, he was serious.
Officer Derick caught on to Colby's intent, and immediately said to the two officers beside him, "Escort those causing a disturbance out."
As the officers were about to step forward, Calla anxiously said, "James, won't you say something? Are you going to watch Grandma Bea being taken away like this? She came here for you."
James' gaze had been on Sophie and Colby the whole time, but eventually, he stepped forward to stand in front of Bea, coldly saying, "Officer Derick, you are gonna lay a hand on a member of the Burke family?"

Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free.
