Perry said, "Sophie's right. Mr. Burke, there's really no need for you to lower yourself to come pick her up from the Russell family. Sophie won't be going back with you."
"Honey!" Jessica gently tugged at Perry's sleeve and said, "Let them sort it out themselves. Why are you meddling in their affairs?"
Turning to James with a smile, Jessica said, "Mr. Burke, you come all this way to pick up our dear Sophie so late at night, it really shows you care deeply for her. Come on, Sophie, don't be mad anymore. Go back with him, will you?"
Jessica tried really hard to signal Sophie with her eyes, but Sophie seemed oblivious.
James moved closer to Sophie, crouching down to meet her gaze as she sat on the sofa, his eyes brimming with affection, "I had her sent to prison."
Sophie replied indifferently, "What are you trying to prove by telling me this, Mr. Burke?"
"I know everything she did. She killed her friend and took her place. From the start, my involvement with her was a mistake, Sophie. I could never betray you again. That night, it was Nichole who drugged me. She made me believe she was you, so..."
"Enough." Sophie coldly interrupted, "I have no interest in whatever happened between you two. You don't need to confess anything to me. After all, we've had this conversation before. You and I are nothing more than a business marriage. I don't care how many women you have outside."
James found himself at a loss for words. She never cared, from the beginning to the end.
The atmosphere between James and Sophie turned cold. Jessica quickly stepped forward, nudging Sophie, "Sophie! Have you lost your mind? Mr. Burke has already broken it off with that girl. Why are you still upset? Listen to me, go back with Mr. Burke. Don't make him angry."
Sophie remained unmoved. Jessica was as anxious as a cat on a hot tin roof. She immediately turned to James, "Sophie is just stubborn. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. Sophie will go back with you tonight."
Bang!

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....
