Sophie didn’t buy a word of Nichole’s bluster. “Sure, have Ms. Rowena come up with that billion first, then she can ask me for that box,” she retorted.
Turning to the security guard, she said, “Show her out.”
The guard approached Nichole, “Ms. Rowena, please leave.”
Nichole, seething with anger, slapped him hard. “Who do you think you are, telling me to leave?!”
Sophie’s eyes turned icy. She wasn’t keen on getting involved, considering her frail health, but Nichole was pushing her luck.
Just as Sophie was about to head downstairs to put Nichole in her place, Gordon’s voice cut through the tension, “Rick, shut her up.”
“Yes, sir.”
Gordon’s butler, Rick, stepped forward and delivered two crisp slaps to Nichole's face. She didn’t even have a chance to fight back, and the bodyguards from Burke International trying to intervene were swiftly taken down by Rick.
His skills were even more impressive than Jonah’s, Odie’s right-hand man.
Rick stepped back behind Gordon, who wheeled himself over to Nichole.
Seeing Gordon, a flicker of fear crossed Nichole’s face. She remembered how he had once stepped in when she falsely accused Harold of misconduct. Gordon was known as one of the most intimidating figures in Devonport.
Forcing a smile, Nichole said, “Mr. Gordon…”
Gordon’s voice was cold and unforgiving, “Ms. Rowena, by attacking a member of the Aldridge family, you’ve made an enemy of us.”
