"Drop your act!" James narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sophie had been cooped up at home for three days, simply waiting for James to break the silence first.
"Don't use my attending Eastwood College as a threat against me. If it comes to it, we can just get a divorce. It'll be a loss for both of us."
Sophie wasn’t worried that James would rat her out to Bea. He needed to keep this secret, at least until he secured enough benefits from the Russell family.
James took a deep breath. "What exactly do you want?"
"Let's make a deal. I'll speak well of you to Grandma, but you have to play along with me."
"Play along with you?"
James looked at Sophie skeptically. "Is that all?"
"In public, you need to act like the perfect, supportive husband. Stand by me, maintain my reputation in front of the Russell family, and back me up when necessary. This deal is merely a small effort for you, and you lose nothing."
Sophie didn’t beat around the bush. She still needed James to play along with her in front of the Russell family, but after Bea's recent outburst, James was less inclined to show her any goodwill, let alone support her in her schemes.
After pondering for a moment, James replied, "Alright, I agree."
"Good."
Sophie put down her tablet, stood up, and dusted off her dress. "Invite Grandma over for dinner. I'll cook."

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
