Outside, Reece was confronting the people of the Aldridge family. On the surface, he appeared relaxed, but secretly, he clenched the pocket knife hidden in his sleeve, ready to act at the first sign of trouble.
At that moment, Sophie walked out and said to Reece, “Why are you so tense? Let’s go.”
Reece frowned, “All done?”
“Yeah.”
When he realized Sophie was unharmed, Reece relaxed his guard.
The Aldridge family was a quagmire, deep and impenetrable. If James was the undisputed lord of Devonport, then Gordon was its most enigmatic king.
In Devonport, everyone knew that offending James was forgivable, but crossing Gordon was unthinkable.
In the car, Reece gently adjusted Sophie’s shoulder, inspecting her for any injuries. Indeed, there were none.
Without regard for the Aldridge family driver in front of them, he asked, “Did you offend him?”
“No.”
“Then what did he want?”
“To offer a friendly warning.”
Sophie’s expression remained calm; she was well aware of the Burke family’s deep roots.
On the surface, S Corporation seemed evenly matched with Burke International. But if things were to get serious, S Corporation couldn’t sustain a prolonged battle against the Burkes.
After all, Burke International had a century of reputation to its name. No matter how formidable her new-generation group was, it couldn’t take down Burke International quickly. They would likely find it difficult to navigate the future once Burke International bounced back.

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....
