"Really? When did that happen?"
"Right when Sophie was born!" Adler said. "It was one of those rare times when the four big families got together. But Sophie was just a newborn then, so she definitely wouldn't remember."
Jenna chimed in, "Wow, I'm surprised you remember something from so long ago."
Adler thought for a moment. "I was too young to remember much, but I do recall that banquet being the most extravagant I'd ever seen. That's why it stuck with me. And! That was the first time I met Colby. Back then he... Ouch!"
Adler couldn't finish because someone kicked his seat from the back.
"Just drive and stop babbling."
"Fine, fine! But why the kicking?"
Adler freed a hand from the wheel to rub his backside.
Sophie turned to Colby. "You were there on the day I was born?"
Before Colby could answer, Adler jumped in, "Of course! Everyone from the four families was there. The Russells were really well-liked around here, and Uncle Shen was such a generous guy. The birth of a Russell daughter was a big deal back then. It wasn't just us showing respect— even small-time businessmen and top international entrepreneurs showed up."
Adler reminisced with a smile, "The Russells were really in their heyday."
Even though many years had passed, Sophie remembered the grandeur of her family's past. After her parents died, the Russells started to decline.
Turns out, her connection with the four families started way back when she was just a baby.
"Wait, if everyone from the four families was there, were the Gordons too?"

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!...
