The Aldridge family had been a pillar of prestige and influence in Devonport for generations. Their reputation was unmatched—no one dared to challenge their authority, at least not in all the years since he was born.
Sophie said, "We should be cautious. Odie's got a wild temper, and there's nothing he wouldn't pull."
"Alright, then! I'll get ready. If he shows up, I'll make sure he’s so humiliated he'll never leave Summerfield again!"
Just then, Jenna came out of the banquet hall, hollering, "Adler! What are you dragging your feet for? We've got plenty to handle inside!"
Seeing Jenna, a smile lit up Sophie's face. "Jenna..."
Jenna froze at the sound of Sophie's voice and then, catching sight of her standing by a car, rushed over. Tears welled up, and she enveloped Sophie in a tight hug, crying, "Oh, Sophie! I thought I'd never see you again!"
Adler, feeling a bit awkward, gave Jenna a gentle tug. "People are watching. Try to keep it together!"
To the world, Jenna was a powerhouse, always composed and icy—a real business shark. But behind the scenes, she and Adler were goofballs.
Jenna swatted Adler's hand away, annoyed. "Sophie made it through—I'm overjoyed! Why should I care about appearances?"
"Of course, you needn't worry about her image. Even if you cry your makeup off, no one in Devonport would dare say a word!" Adler's comment hit home, and Jenna nodded approvingly. She linked arms with Sophie, saying, "Come on, Sophie, there's a surprise waiting for you tonight."

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.
