In the cozy office of Reeves International in Devonport, Elodie stared at the massive shipping container in front of her, tapping her chin thoughtfully. “What’s inside this thing?” she wondered aloud.
“We’re not sure, ma’am. It arrived early this morning from Summerfield,” the shipping company said.
“Summerfield?” Elodie’s face flashed with uncertainty. “Open it up,” she ordered.
“Yes, Ms. Reeves.”
The secretary stepped forward and opened the container, then jumped back in shock. “Ms. Reeves! It’s Mr. Griffin!”
Heart pounding, Elodie rushed over. Griffin lay inside the container, eyes shut tight, looking deathly pale.
“Griffin! Griffin!” she cried, frantically patting his face to wake him up. But her eyes quickly caught the sight of a bleeding wound on his abdomen. Her heart sank. “Quick! Call a doctor!” she shouted.
“Right away!” The secretary ran off to fetch medical help, while Elodie stormed to the front desk, her voice trembling with urgency. “Find out who sent this, now!”
“It was Sophie! The new Mrs. Costello from the Costello family!” the receptionist stammered.
Hearing Sophie’s name, Elodie’s face darkened further. Griffin had been missing for days, and she never imagined he would go to Summerfield to confront Sophie and Colby.
Back in her office, Elodie glanced at Griffin lying in the container, her brow furrowed with frustration. Giving up her shares in Burke International was her own decision; Griffin shouldn’t have been so reckless as to go after Sophie and Colby!
“Cough, cough…”

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.
