Sophie shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but keeping them close is always a safe bet. We're not restricting their freedom, just keeping things under reasonable control."
At that moment, Adler came downstairs, saying, "Why are we just chatting in the living room? Let's watch some TV."
With that, Adler turned on the television.
The TV blared with the latest news report.
"Burke International's CEO is suspected of murdering his wife and is currently missing. The police are investigating, and the case is developing."
Hearing the news, Jenna and Adler instinctively looked at Sophie.
Adler quickly raised his hands, looking panicked. "I swear, it was random! I just turned on the TV and it happened to be this news!"
"Alright, chill," Jenna lightly scolded Adler. "Murder or not, this screams fake news. Someone like James getting his hands dirty? Please."
Sophie frowned and immediately headed upstairs.
She saw the study door closed, with Rick standing guard. "I need to see Mr. Gordon," she said.
"Mr. Gordon is unwell and not seeing visitors."
"Cut the crap."
Sophie pushed past Rick and opened the door.
Inside, Gordon lay in bed, surrounded by foreign doctors checking on him. Sophie was taken aback.
Rick pulled Sophie out, saying, "Ms. Sophie, Mr. Gordon is undergoing a routine check-up. He’s truly feeling unwell. Please, leave for now. Once he wakes up, he'll see you."

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!...
