Chapter 646
“So, Nichole is currently using my office. Is that correct?”
“…Yes.”
Tricia dared not look at Sophie’s expression, well aware that Sophie had initially intended to let go of Burke International. But now, James turned his back on thèm, and all of this was undoubtedly a huge blow to Sophie.
“Where is she now?”
“She’s upstairs, being flattered by the employees. Ms. Sophie, please don’t be upset. Right now, the most important thing is figuring out how to kick the Burke family out, and then there’s Reece…”
“I’ll handle Reece. I won’t let him get hurt.”
Sophie looked up at Tricia and asked, “How are things with the Cloude family?”
“Ricardo still thinks he can dethrone Julian and has been pouring a lot of money into it since this morning. But it’s okay. Our PR has never stopped because we were prepared, so the negative news about Julian has been minimized.”
“Good.” Sophie nodded, “I’ll leave this in your hands for now. I’m still officially resigned, so don’t let any slip–ups happen.”
“Yes, Ms. Sophie.”
Sophie nodded, and as she turned to leave, she caught sight of Nichole’s face the moment she opened the door.
Different from before, Nichole was dressed in an opulent white mini–dress with seven–centimeter heels. Her face was thinner than before, but her whole demeanor had changed. Gone was the innocent look, replaced by that of a true socialite.
Nichole smiled and said, “I heard them say you were in Tricia’s office, and I thought it was a joke. I didn’t expect to actually find you Ms. Sophie.”

Sophie smiled slightly and said, “How long you can stay in this position is, I’m afraid, still uncertain.”
“That is not for you to worry about.” Nichole took out a document from her bag and said, “I came because of this.”
Staring at the document in Nichole’s hands, Sophie frowned slightly.
Nichole said, “I heard you were here today, so I specifically brought this for you. I thought you might find this document quite necessary.” Sophie took the document, opened the first page, and saw the words ‘Divorce Agreement.’
What lay before her was a divorce certificate, and the official stamp had already been affixed.
This was something Sophie had long awaited, and now, she felt it was full of betrayal and deceit.
James wanted both a divorce and benefits.
“Thank you, this is exactly what I needed.”
Sophie didn’t say anything else but brushed past Nichole.
Nichole raised an eyebrow. With a victor’s posture, she glanced at Tricia, deliberately raising her voice, “Tricia, I know you’re Blake’s secretary and have been assigned to Ms. Sophie. But you should be clear about who is sitting in the general manager’s position now and who is paying your salary.”
Sophie knew Nichole’s words were deliberately meant for her to
