Adler didn’t waste a second. He called Colby right away and told him to get back to Aldridge Estate ASAP, under the cover of night.
Things had blown up. Nobody in Devonport knew yet, but Colby’s crew had been keeping a close eye on things overseas. They were ready to give a heads-up at the first hint of trouble.
It was late when Colby and Sophie rushed back, and Sophie was carrying a small Golden Retriever.
Jenna raised an eyebrow. “Where’ve you two been at this hour? And what's with the Golden Retriever?”
The pup tilted its head, taking in the scene inside the house.
Sophie put Dawn down on the floor. “We adopted him. Now, what's this trouble overseas?”
Gordon, sitting at the desk, replied, “Some minor groups have been stirring things up. We caught wind early and managed to contain it, but there’s still unrest.”
Sophie frowned. “Just some minor groups?”
Before Gordon could respond, Adler cut in, “Of course not! Those groups are just pawns. The real culprits are the remnants of the White family’s distant relatives!”
“But didn’t Colby deal with them when he took over?” Sophie asked.
Gordon said calmly, “A centipede may die, but it never falls. There are always people who won’t bow to Colby. They’re not really fighting for the White family; they’re after their own gain. But to go against Colby, they needed an excuse.”
Gordon gave Colby a pointed look. “This situation is fishy. You've been away from the international scene for a while, and suddenly this happens. Someone’s definitely pulling strings.”

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.
