The next morning, Polly laid a dress in front of Sophie. “Ms. Sophie, this was custom-made for you by the boss.”
“When did he order it?”
“After you ran off last time.”
Sophie glanced at the white dress and its fabric, immediately recognizing its expensive taste. A mermaid dress, of all things—the hardest to run in. Odie really did put in the effort.
“I don’t like white,” Sophie said coolly. “Take it away. I’m not wearing it.”
“The boss wants to take you to the Mintons' monthly dinner party.”
Polly’s words had a hint of warning. Sophie quickly sensed something fishy about this monthly dinner. It had to be the kind of event Odie had prepared for during his first visit to Devonport. Why would he suddenly want to take her there?
Downstairs, Sandy was having breakfast in the hall, with Vanessa beside her, looking distracted.
Sandy frowned and asked, “Vanessa, what's up with you? You've been acting weird since yesterday. Did Sophie upset you?”
“No, not at all.”
“Why did you even invite her here? She’s staying in someone else’s house without even showing her face!”
The more Sandy thought about it, the angrier she got. She turned to a maid nearby, “You, go call Sophie down here!”
“Yes, miss.”
The maid quickly went upstairs. Vanessa’s heart skipped a beat. Odie bringing Sophie here was clearly a form of confinement; how could they just let Sophie come and go as she pleased?
On the second floor, the maid knocked on Sophie’s door, “Mrs. Costello, our miss invites you downstairs.”

why do you keep delaying updates:(...

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!...
When will you upload the next chapter...
