"But..." The maid tried to stop her, but Bea was already on her feet, heading for the door.
Back in Devonport, she was accustomed to carrying herself with an air of authority. The high society ladies and debutantes there treated her with great respect. Bea believed Sandy becoming Caelum's most cherished daughter was largely due to her influence, so she felt even more justified in her actions.
As Bea reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw Sandy standing in the center of the hall.
The butler stepped up, "Miss, she's really not here. You should go back to Mr. Odie's house. If Mr. Caelum finds out you're causing a scene, he'll be displeased."
"Pfft! The whole world knows Daddy’s throwing the welcome party today for that old hag. Why keep it a secret from me? Who does she think she is? She's past her prime and still flaunting herself, coming here to seduce my Daddy!"
Clearly, Sandy was fuming over the rumors she'd heard.
To avoid being noticed by the troublesome heiress, Sophie stood in a less conspicuous corner. She'd rather watch the drama unfold than become a target.
Sure enough, when Bea came down from the second floor, she heard Sandy's disrespectful words. Bea always valued her reputation, and immediately darkened in expression.
Soon, Sandy noticed Bea and gave her a once-over, scoffing, "I thought you were some aging beauty. Turns out you're not just past your prime. You're practically one foot in the grave."
Faced with Sandy's rudeness, Bea was nearly driven to rage by the brash young girl.

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....
