"So you find these words harsh," Sophie said with a self-deprecating chuckle. "Did you ever consider that words that are a hundred times harsher might hurt me?"
James was silent for a moment before he said gravely, "I'll handle it."
"No need." Sophie turned to leave.
"Why didn’t you tell me when you were being slandered at school?"
Sophie paused, as if hearing a joke. "Tell you?"
Her tone made James uneasy. Frowning, he said, "If you had told me, I would have definitely..."
"What if I told you the rumors were spread by Nichole? Would you believe it?" Sophie cut him off.
James was stunned and replied, "I've already spoken to Nichole. She didn’t do it."
Sophie scoffed coldly, "So, there’s nothing more to discuss."
In essence, James simply trusted Nichole more.
Sophie turned to walk away, but James grabbed her arm, his face darkening. "Are you suggesting I’m protecting Nichole?"
"Whether you are or not, only you would know in your heart!"
"How do you know I haven't had it investigated? Are you so sure Nichole is the one spreading rumors?"
James was imposing, clearly not intending to let Sophie go. "Sophie, are you that jealous of Nichole? Why are you so convinced she’s the one behind it?"

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.
