"I just needed a breath of fresh air."
Sophie noticed a flicker of nervousness in Harold's eyes, so she asked, "Does your brother dislike people going upstairs?"
"It's not exactly that. It's just where my brother discusses business," Harold replied cryptically.
Sophie had never been to an Aldridge family dinner before and was unfamiliar with their customs.
When she went upstairs earlier, no one stopped her. It seemed that Gordon had tacitly allowed it, perhaps as a way to show her the drama unfolding—to warn her to stay away from Harold.
"It's getting late. I should head out."
"I'll walk you!"
"Thank you, but I’m okay."
As Sophie prepared to leave, the grand doors of the Aldridge mansion swung open, and James walked in. Everyone greeted him with a toast, but James strode directly to Sophie.
"Let's go home." His tone left no room for argument.
Sophie didn’t look at James. Her expression was cold.
Most of the people present had seen James leaving with Nichole earlier. Now, James had returned to take her away—was he trying to make her a laughing stock?
Harold scoffed. "James, don’t you think you’re being a bit too imperious?"
James glanced at Harold, his face unchanging, "Sophie is my wife. If she's not going home with me, do you expect her to go home with you?"

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!...
