After hanging up the phone, Harold left Sophie stunned as she stared at the disconnected call, a sense of foreboding rising within her.
"What's wrong? Who was that?"
Jenna, who had been lounging on the bed with her smartphone, noticed Sophie's agitation and got up too. "What happened? Are you going out?"
"I need to head to the Four Seasons Hotel."
"Are you going to the dinner hosted by James?"
Jenna looked puzzled at Sophie. "Weren't you just saying you didn't want to go?"
"Harold said he needs to teach James a lesson, and I'm worried he might cause trouble." Sophie frowned.
Gordon had been feeling under the weather these days, and tonight Harold was supposed to attend in Gordon's place. Without Gordon to keep an eye on him, she really feared Harold might end up giving James a beating at the dinner.
"That fool, what's he thinking? He’s too old to still be getting into fights."
Jenna put down her snacks, grabbed her purse, and pulled Sophie out the door.
She sped all the way to the Four Seasons, where they were stopped by two security guards at the entrance. "Please show your invitation."
Jenna snapped, "Are you blind? You don't recognize the lady of the Burke family?"
The guards scrutinized Sophie, confused. "Mrs. Burke? Didn’t Mrs. Burke already go inside?"
Sophie's brow furrowed. She knew that the guards were referring to Nichole.
It seemed that in the past three months, James' favoritism toward Nichole had led everyone to prematurely assume Nichole was James' wife.

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!...
