Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 89

Nichole looked like a victim, tears streaming down her face as she accused Sophie of bullying her from behind.

This tactic might have garnered sympathy at school, but this was not school. The people here were seasoned professionals who were savvy and experienced in the industry. Nichole's little trick did not work at all. The crowd just saw it as a drama unfolding.

Only Nichole believed that these people would easily take her side.

"What a shameless act." Jenna scoffed, witnessing such unabashed audacity for the first time.

Nichole’s tears fell faster as she spoke, “Ms. Jenna, I know you don’t like me, but I’m not the person you think I am. I mistook someone else for you the other day and offended you. I’ve felt guilty ever since. Please, Ms. Jenna, forgive me. I just want to seek your forgiveness.”

Nichole appeared very humble.

Gattlin, always eager to please Nichole, stepped forward at the right moment and said to Jenna, “Ms. Jenna, Ms. Nichole is Mr. Burke's favorite student, and her character is impeccable. You shouldn’t just believe what others say. Please, for Mr. Burke’s sake, forgive her”

After speaking, Gattlin glanced meaningfully at Sophie standing across from them. He obviously didn’t know Sophie’s real status.

“You think you mean anything to me? And who is James to me? Why should I care about his feelings?”

Jenna glared at Gattlin, making the manager’s face turn sour immediately.

Jenna coldly added, “Even if she were the CEO of a Fortune 500 here, I’d still have her thrown out! The Dennis family estate is not a place for just anyone to step into!”

Nichole’s face turned from pale to flushed; she had never been so humiliated while under James’ wing.

Nichole couldn’t believe Jenna was so impervious. She looked around. Not a single person stepped forward to intervene.

Did they not fear offending James?

As the situation nearly spiraled out of control, Gattlin quickly stood up and said, “Ms. Jenna, Mr. Burke is very keen on collaborating with you. We shouldn’t lose this opportunity over someone irrelevant. Ms. Nichole is here on behalf of Mr. Burke to apologize for the incident and discuss future projects. As for anyone with ulterior motives...”

Gattlin glanced at Sophie, adding, “They surely just want to disrupt our collaboration with no good intentions!”

“I can represent James. There’s no need for others to meddle.” Sophie spoke emotionlessly after a long silence, “If Ms. Jenna wants to remove her, I’ll take responsibility. Gattlin, you don’t need to worry so much.”

Gattlin scoffed, “And you? What makes you think you can represent Mr. Burke?”
