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 gamered 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?” I 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 tumed from pale to flushed, she had never been so humiliated while under James‘ wing. “Security! Get her out!” Jenna called, and security immediately approached. Nichole shouted, “Ms. Jenna! I’m here representing Mr. Burke. If you send me away, you’re sending Mr. Burke away! I’m here for your own good, Ms. Jenna. You wouldn’t want to lose a chance to collaborate with Burke International in the future, would you?” Nichole raised her voice, fearing others might not hear her Jenna was furious, never had anyone dared to threaten her like this. “Representing James? In what capacity? Have you ever held a position at Burke Intemational? Or are you here today as his mistress?” Nichole’s face tumed pale. Adler, behind het, didn’t dare to say a word. What a thrilling showdown these women were having! Jenna coldly ordered, “Security! Take her away!” 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…” good intentions!” Gattlin glanced at Sophie, adding. “They surely just want to disrupt our collaboration with no good “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?”

Chapter 88 Jenna glared at Adler, who immediately clammed up. *Alright, let’s put this matter to rest. Il pretend I know nothing. Is that okay? Sophie didn’t want to make things difficult for Adler and Jenna either. Jenna nodded quickly, like a pecking chicken, and Adler’s eyes twinkled with joy. Sophie retumed to her room and looked at the box of blue cheese rollss on the ground. After hesitating, she still sent Colby a message. [Thank you for the blue cheese rollss. I mally like them, but please don’t send them again.] Sophie pursed her lips. Some things didn’t need to be said too plainly, and she hoped Colby, being the clever man he is, would understand her hint. In the evening, Jenna’s new property launch was celebrated with a banquet at the Diamond Crest Hotel. Being somewhat a part of the Costello family, this event drew quite a crowd. In a stunning lake blue gown, Sophie caught everyone’s attention simply by standing there. “Sophie!” Jenna ran towards her in high heels, plunging into Sophie’s arms for a big bear hug. Adler, trailing behind holding her dress, nearly couldn’t keep up with Jenna’s pace. “Slow down! You’re in heels Jenna didn’t care and exclaimed. “This property launch could make me billions. Why couldn’t I start celebrating early?” “Right, right” Adler never dared to disagree with Jenna. Sophie looked around but didn’t see Colby anywhere. Perhaps he had seen her message and decided to back off. That was for the best. Suddenly, Sophie caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the entrance. Nichole was wearing a white evening gown, and beside her, Burke International’s General Manager, Gattlin, was eagerly saying, “Ms. Nichole, Mr. Burke couldn’t make it today and asked me to acquaint you with the place. He’s very optimistic about this property and thinks it’s a valuable learning opportunity for you to network.” Nichole nodded. The Diamond Crest Hotel wasn’t overly luxurious. Its decor was understated, and she found Gartlin’s eagerness rather flattering. Despite being upset over a report card, James hadn’t given up on her. His sending her here must also be f be for her educational benefit. At that moment, Nichole spotted Sophie and Jenna, and her face turned pale. She clearly remembered Jenna was part of the same circle as Adler and Colby. Jenna saw Nichole too and frowned, asking, “Who invited her? She doesn’t deserve to be on the Dennis family’s turf.” “It must have been James who sent her Sophie’s tone was calm. After all, James doted on Nichole, and since Nichole had offended Jenna before, James probably wanted to give her a chance to apologize. She hadn’t expected James to consider so much for Nichole. “The other woman is showing her face here? Jenna immediately told the security, “Get her out of here!” Nichole stepped forward immediately. “Ms. Jenna, it’s my fault last time and I want to apologize.” Nichole’s voice was just enough for everyone around to hear Sophie knew Nichole was good at playing the fragile card to gain sympathy. She had seen this act before. But Jenna was unimpressed, coldly saying, “No need for apologies. The Dennis family does not welcome someone who blurs the lines between night and wrong. Security, remove her!” Hearing this, Nichole turned to Sophie with a look of pitiful appeal. “Sophie, you know I’m not like that. My relationship with Mr. Burke is completely innocent. Why would you slander me behind my back to Ms. Jenna?
Chapter 87 After finishing her statement, Sophie went to fetch the blue cheese rolls, fearing that Jenna might get mad at Colby for his antics. Jenna was livid. If she ever found out who had given Colby this ridiculous idea, she vowed to make them pay! “Sophie, please don’t get it wrong. Colby isn’t used to dealing with girls, so he doesn’t know how to charm them. This idea definitely wasn’t his! ‘I know” Colby wouldn’t randomly think of giving her a blue cheese rolls. Jenna was puzzled. “How do you know?” *Just think about it for a second, and it’s obvious. It had to be Adler’s idea.” With Sophie’s hint, Jenna suddenly got it. Of course, who else but Adler could come up with such a harebrained scheme? Thinking this, Jenna could hardly contain her fury. “Just wait. I’m going to confront him right now!” Sophie couldn’t stop Jenna, who stormed out like a whirlwind, still in her pajamas and slippers. Sophie was o knocked directly on the next–door neighbor’s door. about to follow when Jenna “Adler Come out! Adler!” Jenna’s voice was so loud that Adler eventually opened the door, scratching his messy hair, and asked, “Who’s making all this noise so early in the morning? Can’t a person get some sleep around here?” Adler opened the door, saw Jenna, and was momentarily stunned, He thought he was seeing things, so he closed the door and opened it again to make sure it was really Jenna outside. Stuttering, Adler asked, “Wh–what are you doing here?” Jenna grabbed Adler’s ear and said, “So, you’re teaching my brother how to flirt, huh? Let me tell you, if my future sister–in–law gets scared off, you’re going to face my wrath!” “Adler, perhaps you’d like to explain exactly what’s going on here?” Sophie leaned against the wall, arms crossed, watching Adler. Adler glanced at Jenna and then at Sophie, swallowing nervously. Facing these two so early in the morning was like dealing with two fierce goddesses–was this the end for him? Adler hurriedly invited Sophie and Jenna inside. Adler’s place was obviously new. He had likely just moved in recently “Please, have a seat.” Adler was all bows and nods, the mighty CEO acting like a mere servant in front of these two women. Jenna felt a bit guilty and annoyed for having impulsively revealed where Adler lived. Adler sat across from Sophie, cleared his throat, and said, “Well, the thing is, my old place was far from Eastwood College, and it wasn’t convenient for me to travel far for the occasional classes I teach, right? So when Colby asked me to buy your house, I also got one for myself.” Sophie raised an eyebrow, clearly not buying Adler’s explanation. “And why didn’t you mention this before?” “I thought it wasn’t necessary to bring it up, you know?” After saying this, Adler desperately tried to signal Jenna with his eyes. Jenna caught on and sided with Adler, telling Sophie, “Exactly, that’s the point. You know Adler. Asking him to wake up early is out of the question. This has nothing to do with Colby, really! Hearing Jenna’s words, Adler covered his eyes, too embarrassed to look. Jenna’s words only made it harder to explain! *So, Colby sent you here to keep an eye on me?” “No, no, no! That’s not it at all. How could my brother want to spy on you? He was just worried about you living here alone, so he asked Adler to move in. It’s both convenient and ensures someone is looking after you!” Adler facepalmed, “Jenna, you might just ruin this for your cousin”
Chapter 86 The cardboard box in Jenna’s living room was unmistakably filled with six large blue chenen rolls, all of them cracked open, releasing a pungent yet oddly enticing aroma as soon as the box was opened. “Seriously, who sends someone a box of blue cheese rolls out of the blue?” Jenna exclaimed She immediately picked up one of the cheese rolls, sniffed it near her nose, and remarked with approval, “Wow, these really pack a punch. Then, turning to the delivery man, Jenna asked, “Who sent these?” “A gentleman asked me to deliver them,” the delivery man replied. “A gentleman?” Jenna tumed to Sophie and teased, “What, do you have another admirer?” Sophie shook her head. She genuinely had no idea who would send her blue cheese rolls. In her past life, she hadn’t had many interactions with men, and since marrying James, she definitely didn’t keep in touch with other men. And who would send so many blue cheese rolls for no reason? “Sending a girl blue cheese rolls, what was this guy thinking? Not the sharpest tool in the shed, I guess.” Jenna commented. “At least my cousin wouldn’t do something this silly.” Before Sophie could respond, her phone suddenly rang with Colby’s ringtone. “Hello? “Did you get the package?” Colby’s voice on the other end was serious and steady. Sophie glanced at Jenna, then at the durian in Jenna’s hand, and asked, “Did you send these blue cheese rolls?” “Do you like them?” ༀ བ ཞཱ ཟ Sophie opened her mouth, unsure of how to respond. Like them? She did enjoy blue cheese, but why would he send her blue cheese rolls out of nowhere? “Jenna seems to like them,” she said eventually. “And you?” he asked “I like them too,” she admitted. Sophie looked at Jenna again, who suddenly realized that this whole box of trouble was indeed sent by her cousin. Snatching the phone, Jenna yelled into it, “Colby, are you out of your mind? Don’t ever admit you’re my cousin when you’re outside.” Then, Jenna abruptly hung up the phone. Sophie was stunned, still trying to figure out why Jenna was so upset, when Jenna explained, “This kid must have lost his mind, thinking it’s okay to send a girl blue cheese rolls.” Sophie chuckled awkwardly and said, “Well, I actually was craving them.” “That’s so not the point.” “Didn’t you say just yesterday you wanted blue cheese rolls? Seems like perfect timing”
Chapter 85 Jenna’s words were straightforward, causing Sophie to almost spit out her sip of iced tea. “Erm. It’s not a good fit” “Why not? Isn’t my cousin handsome? He’s way better looking then James! “I didn’t say he wasn’t handsome” “And in terms of money and power, they’m pretty much equals. “It’s not about that.” Sophie shook her head, “Love isn’t something that just happens because you want it to.” “That’s it, then. My cousin has no chance” Jenna looked genuinely disappointed. “So, what do you feel about him? Like him? Dislike him?” “I wouldn’t say I like him, but I definitely don’t dislike him. I even think he’s a nice guy” Jenna nodded. There was still a chance then. At that moment, Jenna’s phone in her pocket flashed, indicating a call in progress with ‘cousin.” On the other end, Colby ended the call, his brows furrowed deeply. Adler, munching on pizza beside him, asked, “What’s with the grim look? Did Jenna say something to you?” “How does one even begin to have feelings? “Huh?” Adler asked. “Why would she ask you that?” Colby frowned, “So how does one start to have feelings?” “Just keep at her. The more you pursue her, the more she’ll fall for you.” Just as Adler finished, he suddenly looked anxious, “What’s happening? Is Jenna dating someone?” “No.” Colby spoke calmly. “It’s about a friend of mine. He said the girl he likes doesn’t have feelings for him.” “That friend wouldn’t happen to be you, would it?” Colby glanced at Adler, who mised his hands, “Okay, forget I asked.” Colby was seriously pondering this s when his gaze accidentally caught Adler’s plate of pizza, “I thought you didn’t like that?” “Well, Jenna likes it, insisted I order a portion for her, so I got one too, to see what the fuss was about.” “And? Is it good?” “It’s alright.” Adler shook his head, “Last time, Jenna made me order her a blue cheese roll. This woman’s tastes are truly hard to understand.” Colby’s frown deepened as he thought hard, then said, “I understand now.” “What do you understand?” Adler looked puzzled at Colby. The next day, a knock on the door woke Sophie up. Opening the door, she saw the building’s security guard with a delivery, “Ms. Sophie, here’s your package.” “For me?” The guard replied, “A friend sent it.” “My friend?” “Who would that be? Waking people up so early in the morning.” Jenna also got up, scratching her head and sleepily glanced at the cardboard box on the floor, asking, “What’s this?” “I don’t know. Let’s open it and find out Curious, Sophie opened the box, and a familiar scent wafted out Sophie paused. Jenna sniffed and said, “Is that the smell of blue cheese?”
Chapter 84 Tears were on the brink of spilling from Nichole’s eyes, but this time, Jomes was determined not to soften his heart “You should know the rules at Eastwood College. If your grades slip like this again and you fail to make the top ten in the department. you will lose your scholarship and will have to pay the full tuition yourself” Nichole had always been aware of this rule, but she never imagined these words would come from Jamnes Stunned. Nichole stated at James, momentarily lost for words. James‘ message was clear if her grades continued to fall, he would no longer help her, nor would he assist her in staying at Eastwood College. She would have to bear all expenses herself. “Mr. Burke, I’m sorry. It won’t happen again, Nichole quickly capitulated. Currently, all of Nichole’s expenses at Eastwood College were charged to James‘ account, and on top of that, James provided her with a monthly allowance of $3,000 so she didn’t need to work and could focus on her studies. However, losing this support meant she would have to find a job. The tuition fees at Eastwood College were exorbitantly high. There was an annual tuition of $90,000, and with housing and other miscellaneous fees, the total cost per year was $120,000. She could never eam that much money on her own, “Good that you understand” James said, diverting his gaze. “Go back now. Study hard. If the grades in next month’s exams are still unsatisfactory, you’ll have to figure things out yourself.” Nichole got out of the cat her expression dazed. She couldn’t bear to think about surviving without James‘ support. James‘ car pulled up to the entrance of Eastwood College. Through the car window, he could see the upscale residential area across the street “Stop here.” Colt halted the car and asked, “Mr. Burke, are you going to see Mrs. Burke?” From the rearview minor, James gave Colt a sharp glance, silencing him immediately. James noticed that the lights were still on in the apartment as he dialed Sophie’s number. The phone rang several times before it was answered. Sophie was silent for a moment before asking. “What’s up?” “Been away from home for a few days now? James spoke calmly, his tone slightly discontented. “Ive had classes. I told you the day before yesterday.” James adjusted his tie, feeling somewhat stifled. “So that’s why you’ve been out of touch for three days?” “I have classes, and besides, you’ve been busy.” “Starting tomorrow, keep me updated in real time about what you’re doing.” “What?” “And go to bed early” Without giving Sophie a chance to speak, James ended the call. “Hello? Hello?” Frowning, Sophie stared at her disconnected phone, utterly perplexed. “What’s up? Your busband calling?” Jenna sat in the living room, eating pizza. Even with her makeup removed, she was still stunningly beautiful. Since the day Colby introduced her to Jenna, the two had become fast friends. Though it was only their second meeting, over the past three days, they had become gossip sisters, sharing everything over texts. “James is acting weird, telling me to report everything I do to him starting tomorrow.” Sophie shook her head. The old James never cared about what she was doing. His sudden demand today was completely baffling “He must suspect you’ve got another men. Such a petty man is not worth marrying.” Jenna wiped her mouth and said, “Just dump him, and marry someone else.” “And marry who?” “I think my cousin’s a catch. Why don’t you two give it a try?”
Chapter 83 Sophie nodded, recalling how Nichole had pleaded with her earlier. “Where did she get a boyfriend from?” Adler asked, puzzled. “How should I know?” “And she’s still hung ng up on James even though she has a boyfriend? This woman is something else.” Adler expressed his disdain for such behavior. “She says those things for others to hear. I don’t believe she has any boyfriend other than James, Sophie said, putting down her fork and gathering the empty plates in front of her. Tim done eating, you guys take your time.” Sophie stood up to leave. Harold also put down his plate, saying, “I’m done too.” Adler was still munching. “Just a sec, I’ll join ya In the evening. Nichole checked the recent quiz results in the dormitory, and her heart skipped a beat. She had always been a top performer, but her grades had plummeted this time. Her roommate, glancing at the score, gasped, “Nichole, how come you’re ninth in the department? You’ve always been at the top, never slipped this much before.” Nichole quickly tucked away the results, forcing a smile, I wasn’t feeling well during the last exam, so I didn’t do too well. It’s just a pop quiz, no big deal Hearing this, her roommate nodded, “I knew there had to be a reason. It’s not like you! you to score so low.” Nichole struggled to keep smiling, dreading what James would think if he saw her grades. Suddenly, Nichole’s phone rang. It was Colt on the line, his voice calm but with a hint of coldness, “Ms. Nichole, please come down.” “Is Mr. Burke there to see me?” Nichole felt a flutter of excitement. It had been days since James had last thought of her “Mr. James is here. Please come down,” Nichole steadied herself and said, “Tll be right there.” As Nichole turned to leave, she saw Krystal and Tina glance at her briefly. Since the incident earlier that day, they hadn’t spoken to her. Sure enough, when they saw Nichole, they quickly looked away. Nichole didn’t bother with them and went straight downstairs. James‘ car was parked in front of the female dormitory. Nichole rushed forward, wearing only a thin nightgown, looking rather frail. “Mr. Burke, you’re here.” Nichole missed James dearly. James‘ expression remained indifferent, but seeing Nichole’s nose red from the cold, he softened, “Next time, wear more clothes when you come out – “I was just in a hurry. I will next time,” she replied, her cheeks flushing with his concem. She had been worried that James might still be upset about the incident at the party a few days ago, but it seemed he still cared about her. “Mr. Burke, did you come to see me about something specific today?” Nichole asked. “The dean called me.” Nichole’s heart sank James watched her and sighed, “Have I been spoiling you too much lately?” “Mr. Burke, I… Nichole hesitated. James continued, “Your professors told me you’ve been frequently missing classes and having others sign in for you. Besides that, your grades have dropped significantly.” Nichole tried to explain, but James cut her off, “You are a talented student, but that doesn’t mean you can neglect your studies.
Chapter 82 Sophie extended her hand and grasped the corner of Adler’s shirt. “Stop.” Adler turned around, his words muffled, “What?” “Was that you?” “What did I do? Adler paused, slightly stunned “The dean Sophie got straight to the point. Adler thought for a moment. “Must be Colby.” “Colby would handle this?” Sophie suddenly remembered the incident a few days ago beneath their apartment complex involving Nichole and two others. It really could be Colby. However, at that moment, all of Sophie’s doubts were replaced by another question, “Are you so broke that you eat here now?” The budget cafeteria at Eastwood College hardly seemed like a place Adler would frequent. “Save where you can. Adler responded succinctly. Colby could dispatch eighty billion in assistance one moment and keep the company’s lights burning all night the next, not to mention spend lavishly on real estate and luxury renovations, literally building skyscrapers from the ground up. Chasing a girl had nearly maxed out his credit cards. What’s wrong with saving some money? Sophie gestured for Adler to join her for a meal. She asked, “What exactly does Colby want by sending the dean over?” There’s a saying. Kill the body and the heart will follow.” Sophie seriously said, “Be more specific.” “He didn’t specify, just said it’s about killing the body and the heart will follow.” Sophie carefully pondered the meaning of these words. Colby was a cunning fox, his demeanor always hiding a fierce intensity. Perhaps he had another motive for his actions. Sophie turned to Harold, “So, what happened after that?” “Nothing much, but Nichole kept throwing dirt on Krystal. It was quite funny to watch.” Sophie suddenly understood. Good old Colby, even more cunning than she had imagined. Nichole could not expose the bulletin board incident because it was her own flyers plastered there. Colby had the dean deliberately accuse Krystal, knowing that if the dean investigated, it would soon be clear who was behind it all. Fearing exposure, Nichole would definitely throw Krystal under the bus. This simple strategy easily estranged Nichole from the others, and since it came directly from Nichole, she couldn’t deny it Now that the two girls had seen Nichole’s true colors, the future was sure to be interesting. Sophie shared this insight with Adler and Harold. Harold scoffed, “Why not just have the dean investigate directly? If it was Nichole, wouldn’t she be in deeper trouble?” Sophie explained, “Nichole could easily claim it was because she feared I was after her boyfriend, continuing to deceive everyone into believing she’s the victim. That would create too many uncertainties, not a stable plan. Plus, those two have been close friends with Nichole for many years. They probably know a lot of juicy details. Now that they’ve turned against her, who knows what they might reveal?” Adler puzzled, “Wait, Nichole’s boyfriend?”
Chapter 81 Nichole was in a rush to leave, but just as she was about to walk out, she heard a classmate shout from the doorway, “Nichole! The dean is calling for you.” Her heart tightened upon hearing this. At that moment, the dean came out, pointed at Nichole, and commanded, “You, stop right there.” … Read More “Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn ( James ) Chapter 81” »
Chapter 80 The doubt in Tina’s eyes made Nichole’s face stiffen for a moment, but she quickly replaced it with a look of hurt. “Tina, how could I possibly lie to you? Why would you suddenly ask me that?” Tina saw Nichole’s eyes reddening and could only respond, “I was just asking. Don’t take it to heart.” Nichole was about to cry, so Tina took her hand affectionately. “We are best friends; you can’t ever lie to us.” “Of course, I would never lie to you.” Nichole nodded obediently. “Let’s go, it’s time for class.” Tima, pulling Nichole, headed upstairs. Nichole grew more cautious. In any case, before graduation, she couldn’t let Tina and Krystal find out she had lied, or her college life would be ruined. Upstairs, Nichole’s classroom was surrounded by a crowd, and Krystal was also looking around but, being petite, couldn’t squeeze through. “What’s going on? Tina asked as she approached. Krystal, ever the gossip, said, “I heard the Dean is here, and everyone is watching the excitement.” “The Dean? What’s the Dean doing in our class?” Tina wondered. Nichole’s heart clenched “It’s because of the incident at the notice excitement Nichole went pale. board yesterday. They’ve sent someone to investigate.” Krystal’s voice was tinged with Krystal continued, unbothered, “It must be because they think that girl doesn’t deserve to be at our school, so they’re going to kick her out.” Tina frowned “But if that’s the case, shouldn’t the Dean go to her class? Why come to ours?” Krystal also sensed something odd. “Yeah, why come to our class? He should be going downstairs.” After a pause, both of them instinctively stred at Nichole. Afraid they would become suspicious, Nichole quickly said, “Could it be that we offended Harold, and Harold had deal with us?” That was also a possibility. Krystal and Tina looked worried. meone come to This was bad, not only did they not manage to expel that girl, but they might have gotten themselves in trouble instead. Tina asked, “Does Harold have that much power? To have the Dean twist the truth?” Nichole said, “I heard that Harold turned in a blank paper during the exam, but his family pulled some strings, and he got in with just a word. With that power, he could have the Dean come after us.” Krystal stomped her foot in anger upon hearing this. “That’s outrageous! What do we do now?” Nichole immediately said, “Let’s slip away when no one’s paying attention. It’s better to skip class than to stay here and be targeted.” “Agreed.” Krystal was the first to respond. Tina, however, said, “Isn’t it a bit cowardly to just leave without clarifying things? We haven’t done anything wrong. We shouldn’t be this scared. In front of all these people, they can’t just twist the truth, can they?” Krystal wavered a bit, but Nichole was really scared. Staying here could be disastrous if the Dean was investigating the person behind. the notice board scandal. “People with money and power are not to be messed with. They have ways to twist the truth.” Since her friends were not planning to leave, Nichole grew frantic. Were these two not thinking straight? “If you two aren’t leaving. I’m out of here.”
