Sophie’s gaze swept over Calla, who was standing at the door.
Calla was dressed to impress, wearing a simple white dress that highlighted her youthful innocence,making her even more endearing than Nichole had been at her age.
In fact, she seemed to have an appeal that surpassed Nichole’s in every aspect.
As Calla entered the foom, Nichole’s attention was immediately drawn to her.
In terms of looks, Calla was more beautiful than Nichole.
In terms of demeanor, Calla was the epitome of a high society lady.
To top it off, Calla was younger than Nichole.
Nichole saw Calla for the first time and felt as though she was imitating her. However, Calla hadalready surpassed her.
“James, Mrs. Burke.”
Calla approached, and everyone paused for a moment, unsure of her relationship to them.
Sophie said with a smile, “This is Calla from the Devins family. She’s currently helping us take care ofBea.”
Sophie’s introduction was brief but impactful.
Standing aside, Calla shyly smiled and said, “James, Grandma Bea was worried you might drink toomuch, so she sent me to wait for you. I could also familiarize myself with the place and drive you and
Mrs. Burke home later.”
Calla’s repeated sweet calls of “James” captured everyone’s attention.
Nichole found her attention shifting from Sophie to Calla. She had never known about a woman namedCalla in James‘ life or heard of the Devins family. Calla’s presence undeniably made her feelthreatened.
“Are you alright, Nichole?” Ada asked quietly.
Nichole’s expression.darkened, and she shook her head, saying, “It’s nothing.”

Sophie, sitting quietly by James‘ side, watched the scene unfold. She didn’t have the energy to confrontNichole or Calla. Since both women were so intent on James, Sophie thought it best to let them sort itout between themselves.
“James, Bea said you should drink less.” While speaking, Calla replaced the wine glass in front ofJames with a soft drink.
Sophie watched silently, and the room fell quiet.
This task, naturally, should have been Sophie’s. Yet, this young girl boldly overstepped her boundaries.
“If Bea sent you to drive, then wait outside.” James‘ tone was cold.
Taken aback, Calla replied, “It’s a bit cold outside, so…”
“If you feel cold, go back. No one insisted you come here.”
James was not swayed by her act. It was obvious to anyone that she didn’t dress up like this for thesole purpose of driving.
With her head lowered and her eyes beginning to redden, Calla then looked toward Sophie, almostpleading for support.
