“But I think Colby is into you.” Perry frowned and said, “Sophie, listen to my advice, stay away frommen like that. Who knows what kind of stormy days you might have to face in the future.”
“I know.”
Sophie’s mind wasn’t there. From the corridor outside, she could clearly see Colby pacing in her room,looking at some childhood photos on her desk.
“Colby!”
She rushed in, quickly grabbing several photos from the table. Among them was a photo of her andJames‘ wedding.
Colby’s gaze tumed cold, his voice carrying a trace of indifference, “You even have to frame yourwedding photo and put it on the desk. Do you love him that much?”
“It’s not…”
Sophie didn’t know how to explain. It was from when she and James had just gotten married. Theydidn’t have a wedding ceremony, so there were hardly any photos together. This wedding photo wasthe only one, and Sophie used to cherish her love for James, carefully framing this sole picture.
Now, it seemed like a joke.
“It’s getting late. I’ll be going now.”
Colby’s expression was emotionless. He rarely showed his anger, but at this moment, Sophie could tellhe was upset.
Outside, Perry noticed Colby’s cold demeanor and knew something was wrong. He ran in and asked,“Sophie, did you
“Uncle Perry, it’s nothing serious. It’s late. You should go rest.”
Sophie rubbed her temples, feeling a bit tired.
“And what about Colby?”
“He should be fine.”
have a fight?”
After all, that photo was from the past and had nothing to do with her now. Colby couldn’t really beangry over this. Perhaps he would benovelbin
over it soon.
That night, Sophie couldn’t sleep.
The next morning, news of the Burke family targeting Russell Enterprises spread online.
is determined
Jessica was already causing a commotion downstairs, “I told Sophie to apologize to Mr. Burke, andnow look, Mr. Burke is d to target our family. I bet even S Corporation can’t protect us,now.”
Sophie walked down the stairs, looking nonchalant.
Seeing Sophie, Jessica couldn’t hide her anger, “You seem pretty relaxed! Do you have any idea howbig of a mess this is?” Sophie was unfazed, “It was inevitable for James to target Russell Enterprises.
Jessica, why are you so angry?”
“If it weren’t for you, why would James target us? Don’t think just because you have Colby to rely on,you can be fearless. Colby is just treating you as a novelty. He has no intention of marrying you.”
While speaking, Jessica grabbed a newspaper and said, “Look, his official fiancée came back with him!You stand no chance.” Sophie paused in her act of drinking coffee, her gaze then fell on a photo in thenewspaper of a girl throwing herself into Colby’s arms. The headline read, “Colby’s long–lost lovereturns home, the couple soon to wed.”
“You can’t possibly think Colby is serious about you? This girl called Vanessa is an internationalsocialite, beautiful with a good family background, and most importantly, she’s not married. Did you seewhat the news said? This is Colby’s first love.”
Sophie’s expression was blank as she put down her teacup, saying calmly, “Jessica, perhaps youmisunderstand about things. My relationship with Colby isn’t as close as you think. His first lovereturning has nothing to do with me.”
