Sophie paused for a moment, then said, "No wonder. Even though the Burke family is the top dog in Devonport, Bea doesn't have any real power at Burke International. Why would those socialites go out of their way to host dinners? Turns out it's because Bea is tied to the Pollard family."
Throwing a dinner at the Pollard estate suggests Caelum and Bea had some kind of history.
Colby handed Sophie another dessert, saying, "I'll go with you tonight."
"No need. It's a high-society ladies' dinner. Are you a high-society lady?" Sophie joked. "Besides, Bea coming all the way from Eastwood College means it's either because James is here or she's specifically gunning for me."
Bea might seem kind on the surface, but she's petty to the core.
Sophie had already managed to thoroughly offend Bea before; there was no way Bea would let it slide.
"You're spot on. James has been AWOL in Devonport these past few days. The Burke family's matriarch probably thinks her precious grandson came all this way for you."
Colby's tone had a barely noticeable hint of jealousy.
Sophie leaned in and kissed his cheek, saying, "For me? I’m not that irresistible. That's just Bea's imagination running wild. Her grandson coming overseas is probably for some scheme with the Pollard family or maybe even Odie."
"That would be for the best," Colby said. "If he keeps pestering you, I'll deal with him myself."
They say third time's the charm, but James has already bothered Sophie twice; he won't get a third chance without repercussions.

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!...
