Ricardo's intentions were crystal clear to her. He thought he could use her to lure Colby and James to Duskhaven while conveniently stirring up trouble in Devonport himself.
Little did he know, he had already fallen into the trap she had laid out.
Sophie asked nonchalantly, “By the way, Booker, I remember you were always following Mr. Ricardo. How come Mr. Ricardo left you behind and went back to Devonport alone?”
Sophie knowingly asked. A hint of panic flashed across Booker’s face, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Mr. Odie is our important business partner. That’s why Mr. Ricardo sent me back.”
“Is that so? Mr. Odie must be quite influential then.”
Sophie watched as Booker blatantly lied. She had learned about Ricardo sending Booker back to Duskhaven while she was recording a show on the island.
The Cloude family had their position in Duskhaven severely damaged due to the many subsidiaries she had disrupted and acquired over the past few months.
Ricardo had initially dismissed the reports of the company's losses, but now the situation had escalated, and the company was on the brink of bankruptcy. Still, he remained oblivious and focused on dealing with S Corporation and Julian. He simply sent Booker to take charge.
Everyone involved was indeed blind... The Cloude family might not survive the next few days.
Well, it would be interesting to stay and watch how Ricardo single-handedly brought down this empire.
“What are you laughing at?” Odie’s words pulled Sophie back to the present.
Booker had already left at some point.
Sophie said, “I'm just thinking about how you're very influential, Mr. Odie.”
After speaking, Sophie put down her sandwich. “I’m full, Mr. Odie. Please enjoy your meal.”
Sophie turned and headed upstairs to the hotel room, just as a few new arrivals entered the hotel, immediately spotting Sophie.
One whispered, “Isn’t that the woman Hunky was looking for?”
“It seems so!”
They compared her to the photo in their hands, and it was indeed the former Mrs. Burke!

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.
