James responded with a subdued "Mhm."
After James went upstairs, Sophie approached Marian and asked, "Marian, what's in this little box?"
"Oh, this? This is a sapphire ring handed down through generations of the Burke family. Bea said it was to be given to the Devins family."
As she spoke, Marian opened the ring box. Sophie, who had a deep appreciation for fine jewelry, took a moment to admire the craftsmanship of the sapphire and the circle of diamonds set around it. It looked like an item from a century ago.
"Just this ring alone is worth over a billion on the market. It was once used by royalty. It's incredible that Bea would give something so valuable to the Devins family."
"Used by royalty?"
"That's what Bea said, but I don't know the details."
Marian looked down at the ring in her hand and asked, "Madam, should we deliver the ring to the Devins family now?"
"I'll take care of it."
"How could we possibly trouble you with this, Madam?"
"It's fine. It's also a good opportunity for me to have a chat with the Devins family."
"Alright then, if you insist, Madam. It makes things easier for me." Marian handed the ring to Sophie.
Sophie placed the ring in her bag and then said, "Marian, please go ahead with your tasks. I need to have a word with Bea."
"Madam, she is quite upset right now. If she speaks harshly, please be patient."
"I understand."
Sophie walked down the hallway to Bea's room and knocked.
Bea responded coldly, "I'm not going to move out, so stop asking!"
"It's me."
Hearing Sophie's voice, Bea fell silent.
Sophie opened the door and saw Bea sitting on the edge of her bed. "Bea, are you still angry with me?"
