Sna watched Nichole and Bea getting along so closely and stood awkwardly to one side.


    After a few pleasantries, Bea nced at her and asked, "Why are you still standing there?" "I..."


    Sna felt a bit embarrassed, and Bea, losing patience, waved her hand and said, "Go home for today. Rowena and I need to talk in private."


    "But..."Têxt ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Sna wanted to stay, but Bea''s attitude was clear.


    With a smile, Nichole nced at Sna and said, "It seems like Sna has something she wants to discuss with you, Grandma. Maybe I should leave first."


    Bea listened to what Nichole said and didn''t respond. Sna took the hint and said, "No, I have some things to handle at home. I''ll leave now."


    Sna sheepishly retreated, casting a few more nces at the ring on Nichole''s finger as she left. If she remembered correctly, that ring was a Burke family heirloom. Could it be... that Bea wanted to arrange for James and Nichole to marry?


    If that was the case, wouldn''t there be one more member of the Burke family to share the fortune with?


    "Marian, pour Ms. Rowena some water."


    "... Yes, Madam."


    It took Marian a moment to snap out of it. She hurried to get water, but her gaze constantly drifted towards Bea and Nichole.


    The rtionship between Bea and Nichole had always been tense. Why was she so kind to Nichole now? There must''ve been a catch.


    Marian pulled out her phone and texted Sophie about the night''s events.


    The next morning, Colby''s car dropped Sophie back at the show''s recording site. The living room, which had been in disarray the day before, was now clean and tidy.


    The production crew had arrived,


    and upon seeing Sophie, the director came downstairs and said, "We''ve decided to change the original n to a live broadcast. Just be yourself during the show. Our cameraman will cover the entire event live.


    have arge audience, so please be mindful of yournguage to avoid any issues."


    "I understand."


    Sophie turned to see Colby driving away, then sat down on the living room sofa to look over the script handed out by the production team.


    The director said, "It''s pretty straightforward. The other three guest groups will also be there, so it won''t be too boring. You and Mr. Burke should find plenty to talk about." "Hopefully."


    Sophie nced at Jamesing downstairs, dressed in a simple navy-blue loungewear. Upon seeing each other, both were momentarily lost for words.


    After familiarizing themselves with the script the next morning, Sophie and James left the secluded courtyard with the production team.


    They were about to meet the other three guest groups at arge mansion rented by the production team for the live broadcast, where everyone would stay together during the show. "Ms, Sophie, you''re really beautiful."


    A pretty young woman gave thepliment. She looked to be the youngest there at about


    twenty-seven. Sophie recognized her as an artist from Aldridge Global named Heather, whose ex-husband was Kayden, a somewhat famous actor in the entertainment industry.


    It was rumored that the two had been in love since they were seventeen and got married four yearster, only to announce their divorceter. The official reason was ack of affection and frequent separations, which led to their decision to part ways.
