Faced with a barrage of questions, Fiona felt a headache coming on and just wanted to hold her head in her hands. The real issue wasn't why her mom skipped over her godfather back in the day; it was figuring out how to tackle gym class today!
Meanwhile, in the principal's office—
James lounged at his desk while Tricia handed him a pile of necessary documents. "You've got three international meetings lined up and an online press conference this afternoon."
James checked his watch and asked, "When's Fiona's gym class?"
"First period in the afternoon."
"Clear my schedule for that time."
"You're not making Fiona run again, are you? Remember, she tends to go a bit too fast..."
"I'm not asking for much, just a passing grade."
"Keeping her speed in check is a tall order for Miss Fiona."
"Then she needs to learn," James replied coolly.
Over the years, Sophie and Colby had pampered Fiona too much, letting her get away with anything. It turned her into a carefree mascot. If she didn't shape up, she'd run both the Devonport and Burke family businesses into the ground.
This time, he was determined to make Fiona think for herself.
In gym class, Fiona was stretching while Betty chimed in, "Fiona, I think your godfather's just bluffing. You don't have to take it so seriously... Just jog a bit. He won't actually break your legs, right?"
"You don't get it," Fiona pouted. "He won't break my legs, but the consequences could be even worse!"

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.
