Jenna red at Adler, who immediately mmed up.


    *Alright, let’s put this matter to rest. Il pretend I know nothing. Is that okay? Sophie didn’t want to make


    things difficult for Adler and Jenna either.


    Jenna nodded quickly, like a pecking chicken, and Adler’s eyes twinkled with joy.

    Sophie retumed to her room and looked at the box of blue cheese rollss on the ground. After hesitating,


    she still sent Colby a message. [Thank you for the blue cheese rollss. I mally like them, but please


    don’t send them again.]


    Sophie pursed her lips. Some things didn’t need to be said too inly, and she hoped Colby, being the


    clever man he is, would understand her hint.


    In the evening, Jenna’s new propertyunch was celebrated with a banquet at the Diamond Crest


    Hotel. Being somewhat a part of the Costello family, this event drew quite a crowd. In a stunningke


    blue gown, Sophie caught everyone’s attention simply by standing there.


    “Sophie!”


    Jenna ran towards her in high heels, plunging into Sophie’s arms for a big bear hug. Adler, trailing


    behind holding her dress, nearly couldn’t keep up with Jenna’s pace. “Slow down! You’re in heels


    Jenna didn’t care and eximed. “This propertyunch could make me billions. Why couldn’t I start


    celebrating early?”


    “Right, right” Adler never dared to disagree with Jenna.


    Sophie looked around but didn’t see Colby anywhere. Perhaps he had seen her message and decided


    to back off. That was for the best. Suddenly, Sophie caught a glimpse of a familiar figure at the


    entrance. Nichole was wearing a white evening gown, and beside her, Burke International’s General


    Manager, Gattlin, was eagerly saying, “Ms. Nichole, Mr. Burke couldn’t make it today and asked me to


    acquaint you with the ce. He’s very optimistic about this property and thinks it’s a valuable learning


    opportunity for you towork.”


    Nichole nodded. The Diamond Crest Hotel wasn’t overly luxurious. Its decor was understated, and she


    found Gartlin’s eagerness rather ttering.


    Despite being upset over a report card, James hadn’t given up on her. His sending her here must also


    be f


    be for her educational benefit.


    At that moment, Nichole spotted Sophie and Jenna, and her face turned pale. She clearly remembered


    Jenna was part of the same circle as Adler and Colby.


    Jenna saw Nichole too and frowned, asking, “Who invited her? She doesn’t deserve to be on the


    Dennis family’s turf.”


    “It must have been James who sent her


    Sophie’s tone was calm. After all, James doted on Nichole, and since Nichole had offended Jenna


    before, James probably wanted to give her a chance to apologize.


    She hadn’t expected James to consider so much for Nichole.


    “The other woman is showing her face here? Jenna immediately told the security, “Get her out of here!”


    Nichole stepped forward immediately. “Ms. Jenna, it’s my faultst time and I want to apologize.”


    Nichole’s voice was just enough for everyone around to hear


    Sophie knew Nichole was good at ying the fragile card to gain sympathy. She had seen this act


    before.


    But Jenna was unimpressed, coldly saying, “No need for apologies. The Dennis family does not


    wee someone who blurs the lines between night and wrong. Security, remove her!”


    Hearing this, Nichole turned to Sophie with a look of pitiful appeal. “Sophie, you know I’m not like that.


    My rtionship with Mr. Burke ispletely innocent. Why would you nder me behind my back to


    Ms. Jenna?
