Hearing this, Paige indeed fell silent. Even a fool would know that such a precious item was far more valuable than cash. Naturally, anyone would prefer cash over such treasures.
"I think Bea is well aware of this, too. The Burke family's standing is legendary not just in the business world but also in the auction circles. If Bea doesn't want you to sell this ring, it's unlikely anyone would dare buy it. Then, you'd be stuck with a ring you can't sell, rotting away in your hands. In your desperation, Bea just needs to find someone to buy the ring at a low price, and suddenly, the ring isn't worth a billion dollars anymore."
Upon hearing Sophie's explanation, everyone was shocked, and Morris spoke angrily, "She’s so cunning!"
"So, what should we do now, Ms. Sophie?"
"Yeah, should we accept this ring or not?" Paige also asked.
Calla, well aware of the depths of the Burke family's scheming, stepped forward and took Sophie's hand, saying, "Ms. Sophie, it’s my fault before. Please don't be mad at me. Help our family..."
"I came here to help your family," Sophie replied.
"That's wonderful, Ms. Sophie! Just tell us what to do, and we'll do it!"
"I do have a plan, but it depends on whether you are brave enough to follow through."
"Tell us! We'll be brave!" Paige declared.
"Good. I want you two to take this ring to the Burke family tomorrow and make a scene."
Paige was startled, "Make a scene? Again?"
They had already caused a commotion today. Although Bea had made some concessions, the Burke family was not one to be trifled with. Going again might just infuriate the Burkes, leading to an even worse outcome.
Sophie smiled and said, "Just go and insist on cash instead of the ring. Act like you don't know its worth. After that, I guarantee you'll get a billion dollars and go home satisfied."
Hearing Sophie's assurance, Paige felt uneasy, but Morris took Paige's hand and said, "Okay, I’ll do it."
"Good, I'll leave the ring with you. See you tomorrow." Sophie handed over the ring and left the Devins family.
Paige hesitantly asked, "Honey, should we trust Sophie?"
"I think Sophie isn't in league with the Burke family. Didn't James have an affair recently? I think Sophie wants to get back at them. We could give it a try."
