"Mrs. Costello, the guest room is this way."
The maid led Sophie to a guest room that was more opulent than most luxury homes she'd seen. As a well-known socialite from Devonport, Sophie was used to extravagance, but even she couldn't help silently estimating the cost of the furnishings.
Everything in this room was worth well over seven figures. The Pollard family sure knew how to flaunt their wealth.
"Mrs. Costello, the doctor will be here shortly. Please make yourself comfortable. I'll go make you some tea."
The maid excused herself politely.
Just as the maid left, a voice from the next room filtered through. "Where are my shoes? My clothes? And my Doraemon pillow that I sleep with every night? I leave for three days, and you lot already 'borrowed' my stuff?"
Sophie frowned.
That voice...
She stood up, but the maid quickly reassured her, "Mrs. Costello, it’s the son of Mr. Caelum. He is a bit... eccentric. Please don't mind him. The doctor will be here soon, and we'll arrange for someone to escort you back to the Costello estate."
"Who are you calling eccentric?" The annoyed voice of a man made the maid offer an embarrassed smile.
Before Sophie could react, the family doctor arrived. When she saw it was William, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief.
After making sure she wasn't hallucinating, Sophie asked, "How many jobs are you working this month?"
William looked equally surprised to see her, stammering, "I..."
"Well?"

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.
