"Do you have a contract?"
"Yes."
"With a contract, it can still be done. It's just a matter of a breach of contract fee, which the Costello family can afford."
Colby was about to lose his patience and speak up when Sophie interrupted, "Grandpa, we're all business people here. Business is about making sure profits are secured. I would never engage in a losing deal. Colby and I have decided to announce our engagement and get married in six months without any delay."
Hearing Sophie's words, Lennon finally felt reassured.
Colby had never known his stubborn grandpa to be so agreeable before.
"You are beautiful and a sweet-talker. I quite like you. It's just a shame that you’re too good for Colby. I should have found someone better for you. I think that young man from the Aldridge family isn't bad..."
"Lennon!" Colby called out Lennon's name, his face as dark as it could be.
How could his own grandfather suggest his future granddaughter-in-law to someone else right in front of him?
"I'm just saying. The young man from the Aldridge family is not bad, though he's had some health issues with his leg."
Sophie thought Lennon was talking about Harold, but to her surprise, Lennon was referring to Gordon.
The smile on her face froze.
Was Gordon good? In terms of intelligence, certainly.
His character was occasionally top-notch, but he could be truly despicable at times.
She wondered which unlucky person would end up with Gordon.
Just as Sophie was thinking this, her phone suddenly displayed an incoming call from Gordon, making the corners of her mouth twitch.
Talk of the devil, and he shall appear.
"I need to take this call."
Sophie stood up and walked aside to answer Gordon's call.
"Mr. Gordon, what can I do for you?"
"Come to my office."
"What's so urgent?"
"I've sent someone to pick you up. They should be there by now."
"But I'm currently at Lennon's house."
"I know."

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....
Excellent novel!...
