"What did you say? Nichole isn''t the Freeman family''s daughter?"


    Inside the bedroom, Marian revealed this news to Bea.


    Bea frowned and asked, "Where did you hear this from?"


    "Well, it''s all rumors from outside. I also find it unlikely, but people are talking. After all, Ms. Nichole is carrying Mr. Burke''s child. Sooner orter, we''ll have to acknowledge her status. We can''t let a woman with an unclear background enter the Burke family."


    Marian''s words struck a chord with Bea.


    Everything else was manageable, but status was of utmost importance. If today they weed the daughter from the Freeman family into their home, and itter turned out that she was a fake, the Burke family would face another embarrassment.


    "Alright, you go now and send an invitation to the Freeman family on my behalf, saying I invite Mr. Briggs to dine at the Regent Hotel tomorrow night."


    "Yes, Madam."


    Marian quickly left and secretly texted Sophie the news.


    Upon seeing the message from Marian on her phone, Sophie''s face bore a slight smile.


    She had already inquired about Nichole''s background from Katy. Bea invited Mr. Briggs for a meeting. It was within Sophie''s expectations.


    But before that, she wanted to meet Mr. Briggs herself.


    Since Nichole wished to enter the Burke family''s door by leveraging the Freeman family heiress status and the child in her womb, she would shatter Nichole''s hopes, ensuring Nichole and the Burke family remained estranged.


    That night, Sophie arranged to meet Mr. Briggs at the Regent Hotel.


    Mr. Briggs arrived promptly, his expression filled with impatience, clearly not fond of Sophie.


    After all, his daughter was carrying Sophie''s husband''s child. Which father would be happy about that?


    He wouldn''t havee if it hadn''t been for Sophie iming this matter concerned his daughter.


    Mr. Briggs sat down and asked, "Ms. Sophie, what do you want?"


    "Mr. Briggs, I know you are Nichole''s father, and it''s normal for you to be hostile towards me. But I invited you here to help your daughter."


    "Help my daughter?" Mr. Briggs scoffed angrily, "You have bullied my daughter, and you have the nerve to say this!"


    "I''m not the one bullying your daughter. I have already decided on a divorce, but the Burke family is indecisive, so I can''t do much."


    Mr. Briggs coldly responded, "Stop pretending here!"


    Sophie slowly said, "Nichole, oh no, your daughter, Rowena, went to the Burke family today. Did you know?"


    "What? Rowena went to the Burke family? Why would she go back there!"


    Nichole received online bacsh for so long because of being the other woman. For this reason, Mr. Briggs had grown thoroughly disgusted with the Burke family. But he never expected Nichole to sneak back to the Burke family behind his back!


    Sophie said, "Your daughter returned to the Burke family, eager to reconcile with James. I suspect Ricardo must have mistreated her, hence her actions."


    "Impossible! Ricardo deeply loves my daughter; he would never let Rowena be mistreated!"


    "Perhaps, but you should know what kind of ce the Burke family is. My mother-inw isn''t easy to deal with. If your daughter truly marries into the Burke family, I fear she will suffer."


    Sophie deliberately added, "Oh right,


    my mother-inw seems to doubt Nichole is your daughter. Surely, someone will notify you in the couple of days to meet and

    interrogate you thoroughly. Bea is quite particr about her


    grandchildren''s spouses, thope you won''t mind."


    After finishing, Sophie stood up and told the waiter, "No need to serve us anymore. Please pack everything for Mr. Briggs to take home. I don''t think Mr Briggs wishes to dine with me."


    Before the waiter could grasp Sophie''s intention, she had already turned and left.


    Mr. Briggs mmed the table, his face full of displeasure towards the Burke family.


    Sophie was indifferent. Regardless of whether Nichole was actually Mr. Briggs''s daughter or not. he now seemed convinced his daughter was indeed Nichole.


    After being insulted by Bea like this, how could he swallow this affront?


    Bea was proud and haughty. The dinner she nned with Mr. Briggs tomorrow would indeed be interesting.


    Stepping outside the Regent Hotel, Sophie took out her phone and called Jenna.


    "A dinner invitation?" Jenna was quite puzzled on the phone.


    Sophie said, "Tomorrow night, at the Regent Hotel, I invite you for dinner and a show."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "Dinner I get, but is there an event at the Regent Hotel tomorrow? Why would there be a performance?"


    Adler grabbed Jenna''s phone and said to Sophie, "Sophie, we will certainly be there!"


    Sophie nodded and then asked Tricia to book a private room.


    The next day, Sophie didn''t even go to Aldridge Global. By six o''clock, everyone had gathered at the Regent Hotel.
