The switchblade had barely missed Colby's right side, and blood was already starting to ooze out.
"Freeze!" A group of police officers rushed in, quickly surrounding James. James raised his hands, but his eyes were fixed on Sophie, who was anxiously tending to Colby. Sophie turned to James, the instigator of it all. "James! Are you out of your mind?" She had imagined countless ways James might cafter her, but she never thought he would stoop so low to take her out for the sake of Burke International. James said coldly, "It's a pity I couldn't kill you, but this should repay Colby for stabbingbefore." "You!" "Take him away!" The police immediately escorted James to the squad car. Medics arrived shortly after, and Colby, noticing Sophie's teary eyes, gently brushed her hair and smiled, "I'm fine, it's just a scratch." "The blade went in, and you call that a scratch? Who told you to follow me? Idiot!" Sophie hit Colby on the shoulder in frustration, causing him to finally kneel on the ground.
Colby managed a weak smile, "Honey, your punches really hurt." "You..." Sophie was livid. He didn't make a sound when he was stabbed, but now he's making a big deal out of a slap. He was clearly doing it on purpose! In the ambulance, William glanced at Colby's wound and nonchalantly said, "Ah, it's nothing. The blade was so short and didn't hit anything vital. No big deal!" "And you say it's nothing? He lost so much blood, and the blade went all the way in! How can it be nothing?" Hearing Sophie's words, William immediately corrected himself, "You're right, it's serious. It almost hit the kidney!" П An hour later, at the Burke family's estate in Devonport- "What did you say? Arrested? How could James be arrested? What exactly happened?" Bea's face turned sour. She had a bad feeling all evening. Who knew trouble would arise so quickly! "He's been arrested. Just now, the police station called the company, asking for a lawyer to arrange his release!" Colt's face was grim. Of all places, the call had to go to the company. Now, within a day, the whole of Burke International would know about Mr. Burke's arrest. And soon, the news would spread throughout the city. Mr. Burke and Burke International's reputation would surely take a hit! Bea sat down in a daze, saying, "James has been out of sight t days, how could he suddenly.
arrested? Explain it to me!" "It's said Mr. Burke assaulted someone last night, and it was Colby..." He was also shocked when he heard the news! Out of the blue, why would Mr. Burke attack Colby?
"Prepare the car immediately, I'm going to the police station to bring James back! We can't let this matter escalate!"
Saying so, Bea didn't care for her appearance; she quickly threw on a Le coat and left. At the police station, James was already locked in the interrogation room. Outside, Bea stormed in demanding, "Where is Chief Liu? Get Chief Liu to see me!"
"Who's this lady? This is a police station, not a place for you to throw a tantrum
