Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 236

Sophie descended the stairs, only to find Bea's complexion rather grim, with the newspaper tabloid sprawled across the table.

Sophie's gaze darkened instantly, shifting towards Calla.

Bea had never shown an ounce of interest in celebrity gossip, let alone browsing through such newspapers. It was clear as day that Calla had deliberately left the newspaper on the living room table for Bea to find.

Such a tactic was hardly sophisticated.

"Sophie, explain yourself right now," Bea demanded, her tone accusatory.

Sophie approached calmly, eyeing the newspaper on the table, and responded, "I merely had dinner with one of our signed artist. The press is just looking for a scoop. There's nothing more to it."

"What do you mean by that?" Bea frowned.

Sophie smiled, explaining, "Reece has been focusing on his acting career since his debut, steering clear of scandals and major headlines. This was just a minor strategy by the company, which will be clarified in the reports later. It's to boost his visibility and add some buzz for his upcoming project. It's not a big deal."

Bea took a deep breath and said, "I don't understand all these things you're talking about, but this tarnishes the reputation of the Burke family and yours, too! After these stories were published, everyone would read them. The Burke family can’t bear this! I don't care about any publicity stunts. You better sort this mess out right now! Or don't bother coming back!"

Bea was livid, and Calla chimed in, "Tthis is just a part of madam's work. Please, don't be upset. I've heard that Mrs. Burke used to frequently be away from home due to work. You shouldn't stress her out."

Calla's words only fueled Bea's suspicions. "So that's why you've been away from home lately. It must be because of this."

Bea's expression turned even sourer, convinced that Sophie was involved with someone else.
