Chapter 237
Sophie and James returned to their room, where James said, “I’ll have someone handle the trending topic online. It won’t affect you.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me about it?”
After all, the photo that was taken of her and Reece was real.
James stared at Sophie and said, “If you want to tell me, you will.”
“I don’t want to talk about it.” Sophie was straightforward with her response.
“Alright.
At that moment, Sophie heard footsteps outside the door. They were light, but she knew that Calla was standing there.
This time, Sophie didn’t bother pretending. She opened the door immediately, and Calla, standing at the doorway, was taken aback, probably not expecting Sophie to open the door.
“Mrs. Burke…”
“I’m not fond of people eavesdropping at my door. If it’s not something important, please don’t come upstairs.”
Sophie’s words were direct, causing Calla’s face to turn red as if bleeding. “I’m sorry, Madam. Grandma Bea was worried you two might argue, so she asked me to check on you. It won’t happen again.”
“That’s good.”
Sophie closed the door, and seeing this, James couldn’t help but smile faintly.
Sophie frowned. “What are you smiling about?”
“I’m just happy,” James said, locking the door behind him. “Because you don’t like her.”
“Don’t flatter yourself. Even if I don’t like her, it has nothing to do with you.”“
As she spoke, Sophie picked up her phone, which had missed calls from Reece. She glanced at James and said, “I need to go out today.”
“I drive you.”
Sophie pondered for a moment before agreeing. “Alright.”
Given the current rumors about her and Reece, who knows what new stories they would fabricate if the paparazzi caught her going out alone?
As soon as Sophie stepped out of the Burke family’s mansion, she noticed quite a few people standing outside, most women wearing masks. She realized something was off. James, coming out from the garage, saw this scene as well.
James immediately called the security office, his voice cold, “Security, clear them out.”
“Yes, Mr. Burke.”

Sophie stood outside, not moving. When the security guards appeared, the women started hurling insults at her like they were possessed.
“Home–wrecker! Stay away from Reece!”
“You’re married, do you know that? Reece would never go for someone like you!”
“Sophie, just go to hell!”
Their yelling continued.
A chill passed through Sophie’s gaze.
The location of the Burke family’s mansion wasn’t easily found. If it were leaked by those late–night internet sleuths, the Burke family’s doorstep would be swarmed daily, given their reputation.
These people found this place, which meant there was someone behind this.
Sophie turned around and, sure enough, saw Calla watching the scene from the window. It was Calla who had stirred up this trouble.
“Watch out!”
