"Hey there, look who finally decided to join us!" came a playful voice from downstairs.
Four people were huddled around a poker table, deeply engrossed in their game. Sophie had just managed to pull Timothy into the fray. Upon seeing Colby come down the stairs, Adler threw down a card, grinning, "What were you two big shots talking about that’s so hush-hush? Not even Sophie gets to know?"
"Private business," Colby replied, descending the last few steps. He noticed the trio exchanging sneaky signals under the table, clearly planning to gang up on Timothy. He looked away, pretending to be oblivious.
Sophie caught Colby's eye and gave him a subtle nod. Colby moved behind Timothy, took a quick peek at his hand, then signaled back to Sophie.
"Queen of Hearts," Timothy said, discarding his card.
"Gotcha!" Sophie declared, spreading her cards out with a triumphant smile.
Timothy stared at the table, bewildered. Who bets everything on a Queen of Hearts?
Adler chuckled, "Ah, young man, you’re still too green. Ms. Sophie just outfoxed you. Time to pay up."
Timothy sighed and handed over a crisp bill to Sophie. The stakes were high, and in just a few rounds, Timothy had lost thousands.
Sensing an opportunity, Jenna casually remarked, "I've heard Elodie’s been making waves lately—gracing financial magazine covers, giving interviews, and looking poised to dethrone James as the next big power player."
"With Sophie in our corner, who cares if Elodie becomes CEO of Burke International? Tomorrow, Sophie will take her on head-to-head!" Adler boasted.

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.
