Chapter 290 Sophie masked her smile. "Let's go." Colby merely lifted his hand, and his people began to retreat.
James was not ready to give up. He attempted to follow but was stopped by Colt. "Mr. Burke! You can't chase after him. That's Colby!" "This is Devonport, and I'm the one in charge! What's Colby compared to me?" "Lennon has handed over the entire Costello family to Colby! We can't afford to mess with him!" "Get lost!" James shoved Colt away, his gaze then landing on Nichole.

"Take these three for a thorough interrogation!" "And about Ms. Nichole..." "Capture her. Lock her in the basement!" James' look was icy. "If Bea asks, tell her I've made arrangements for Nichole elsewhere." Yes, Mr. Burke." "James! I'm carrying your child! You can't do this to me! James! You can't do this to me! Letgo! Letgo!" Nichole struggled violently but was still restrained and dragged toward the outside of the church.
Colt picked up the divorce agreement from the ground, hesitantly asking, “Mr. Burke, this divorce agreement..." James merely glanced coldly at the divorce agreement before snatching it and tearing it in half, "As long as I don't agree, Sophie will always be my wife. Even if Colby tries, he can't take her away from me." "But Mr. Burke, we're already in such a difficult position. We can't afford to conflict with the Costello family." James coldly stated, "I'll make Colby realize who truly rules Devonport." If Colby were to fall, Sophie would inevitably return to James.
Meanwhile, Sophie got into Adler's car, frowning, "How did you get here?" Colby replied indifferently, "I was worried you might be in danger on your own." "Bullshit, he's worried you'll go easy on James!" Adler mercilessly exposed Colby from the front seat.
Colby coldly glanced at Adler through the rearview mirror silencing him immediately.
Sophie couldn't help but chuckle. "So, the fearless Colby also has his fears."

Adler grimaced. The once stoic Colby had suddenly blossomed - was it a result of repressed desires?
Adler glanced at Colby's reflection in the mirror. He caught Colby staring at Sophie and subtly looked away. Yes! It must've been the result of long-suppressed desires.
At that moment, a graceful woman in high heels descended from a plane at the airport. She looked up at the sky of Devonport and smiled slightly, "Colby, I'm back."
