The next day, Sophie was chauffeured back to Aldridge Global in Colby's luxury car.
Rumors about Sophie being taken away by James the day before had already spread like wildfire among the trainees.
The incident at the Eastwood Mall had also made the news last night. It had become the hot topic of conversation for all the trainees during their breaks.
"Oh my, some people just don't know their own weight, nor do they realize their status. Thinking of getting back into high society isn't that simple, is it?"
"Did you all see the car that dropped her off today? Tsk tsk, looks like she's got a hefty sponsor."
"A bankrupt heiress. What else could she do but act like this?"
...
Several people whispered among themselves, but Sophie was unfazed.
Wendy approached Sophie and said, "Looks like Mr. Burke's investment in Aldridge Global is going to fall through, huh? Sophie, what's the use of stubbornly refusing to divorce? In the end, you won't gain anything, will you?"
Sophie raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't play dumb with us. Everyone knows Russell Enterprise is bankrupt now, and you're eager to reconcile with Mr. Burke. But with your status, the chances of you returning as Mrs. Burke are slim, especially if Bea doesn't approve. You can forget about turning your fortunes around."
Wendy was particularly upset seeing her own father so eager to please James yesterday.
They were trainees at the same place, and Sophie still carried the title of Mrs. Burke, commanding respect from others.
Another trainee chimed in, "Yeah, remember how you were so sure about divorcing Mr. Burke? And yet, it's been so long, and we've seen no divorce. It's clear to us all that your divorce threat was just a ploy to force Mr. Burke to abandon his pregnant mistress."
"Alas, what a pity. Mr. Burke has countless girls available to step in. I heard Bea has already chosen Miss Calla as the next Mrs. Burke. It might be better to divorce sooner. Maybe Mr. Burke will take pity on you and leave you a sum of money."

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.
