James gazed at the crowd behind Sophie, fully aware that they were her rock-solid support. Even without Colby and Gordon, Sophie had already locked down the real power of the Aldridge and Costello families. Today’s showdown wasn’t about networking; it was all about dominance in Devonport.
The combined force of the four major families was already daunting, not to mention the added involvement of the overseas Kiran. Faced with this situation, even James could only muster a slow, deliberate word: "Retreat."
Colt frowned but, following James’s command, signaled everyone to fall back.
James, with a cold edge in his voice, said, "Sophie, you can take your people for now, but our fight isn't over."
Sophie responded icily, "Don’t worry, Mr. Burke. We’ll fight you to the end, until one of us can no longer stand."
James turned and led his group away from the second floor. Seeing the tide turn against him, Harold also signaled his people to retreat. The hall was soon left with only Sophie’s group.
The Minton’s bodyguard swiftly brought Sandy out.
"Hmph! I knew my brother would come to save me!" Sandy declared proudly as she walked over to Sophie’s group, but after scanning the room, she couldn’t find her brother.
"Where’s my brother?" Sandy asked, puzzled.
The group also noticed something was off. Where had Kiran gone? He was just here a moment ago.
Sophie frowned, deep in thought, but soon caught sight of Odie casually pocketing the Minton family crest.

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!...
