Late night at the Burke Estate.
Rick led James to Gordon’s study.
Tonight, there wasn’t a single Aldridge family member on guard. Seeing Gordon’s laid-back demeanor, James asked, “Aren’t you worried about getting caught inviting me over?”
Jenna, Adler, Angelo, and Sandy had all been staying here recently. If Sophie and Colby were to return in the middle of the night, there’d be no way to keep this meeting a secret.
Gordon, unruffled, replied, “Colby’s still in the hospital, thanks to you. They won’t be back anytime soon.”
“What about Angelo and Sandy?”
“Isn’t Angelo your guy? Are you really worried he’ll rat you out?”
Gordon always had this knack for being in control, making it hard to read his mind.
Rick offered James a seat and poured him some tea.
Gordon continued, “By taking action, you’ve completely turned Sophie against you. With the media buzz, your position as CEO of Burke International is on the line. Are you really ready to let that go?”
“I stopped wanting to be CEO of Burke International a long time ago.”
James shot a glance at Gordon and said, “I don’t believe you don’t want to retire.”
If the burden of the Aldridge family fell on someone else, they’d be exhausted in three days. Thankfully, it was Gordon in front of him, who had managed such a vast family enterprise for so many years.

why do you keep delaying updates:(...
please post new chapters.. why are they delayed...
Awaiting new chapters plzzz...
when will new chapters release??...
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...
