Colby said casually, "My wife and I prefer our privacy. Please have everyone leave the estate for the next few days."
"Of course, Mr. Colby."
Sophie hadn't realized Colby owned such a grand estate overseas until she got there.
"This place looks like it's got some history. When did you buy it?" Sophie asked.
"I didn't buy it," Colby replied. "It used to belong to the White family."
Hearing about the White family, Sophie immediately thought of Vanessa.
"Shouldn't this place be Vanessa's, then?"
"Vanessa mortgaged it to Daniel ages ago. After the Pearl Hotel incident, ownership shifted to Odie," Colby explained, pulling out a set of keys. "Odie handed these over to me. He said he replaced the staff with trustworthy people. We'll be staying here for a while—maybe we can dig up something."
"So... this is where you once lived," Sophie noted.
"Yeah."
Colby, being open with Sophie, saw her examining the architecture and added, "Mr. Elwood had quite a grip overseas. Even now, he's got loyal followers. Though I've tried to clear them out, there're still plenty who oppose me. Staying away from the Costello estate, this place is relatively safer."
"I noticed. As soon as we entered, I saw all the security systems. The White family sure knows how to secure a place."
Anyone who’s held power overseas for years must be pretty shrewd.
With lots of friends come lots of enemies.

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....
