Chapter 464 Sophie found such experiences somewhat relatable. If she could play her cards right, winning Mrs. Pittman's sympathy and affection would be a walk in the park.
Sophie saw Mr. Pittman engaged in a conversation on the side, and she made her way towards Mrs. Pittman, "Mrs. Pittman," Upon hearing Sophie's voice, Mrs. Pittman turned around. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the jewelry Sophie was wearing. 'Ms. Sophie?" "Hi. I didn't expect you to remember me, Mrs. Pittman." Sophie flashed a sweet smile.
Mrs. Pittman watched Sophie and said, "Last tI saw you, you were just a little girl. I can't believe how much you've grown." Mrs. Pittman was clearly feeling nostalgic about the swift passage of time. "I heard the Russel Family had sissues recently, and you beca trainee in a singer program?" "That program fell through a while ago. I'm now a minor shareholder at S Corporation and a full-thomemaker" "Really?" Mrs. Pittman herself was a homemaker, which gave them even more to talk about.
"So, your marriage with Mr. Burke..." Sophie sighed and said, “We're still in the process of getting a divorce. He refuses to sign the papers, and there's not much I can do about it. But I've already moved on and have a boyfriend now. I just hope we can finalize our divorce soon." That's a shame... A look of sympathy flashed in Mrs. Pittman's eyes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeizing the moment, Sophie said, "I really admire you and Mr. Pittman's marriage. You two seem so in love." "Yeah..." Mrs. Pittman's smile was somewhat forced.
Sophie raised an eyebrow and then feigned confusion. "Mrs. Pittman, have you and Mr. Pittman been having stroubles recently?" "Why would you think that? Our love is as strong as ever.
Mrs. Pittman's response lacked conviction, prompting Sophie to say, "Men always take for granted what they have, only to regret it once It's gone. I've been through it myself. If James hadn't been keeping that girl on the side, I wouldn't have...
Sophie cleverly steered the conversation towards marital issues, and sure enough, Mrs. Pittman's expression turned sorrowful.
"Now, she's becMiss Rowena Freeman, and I still have to face her at these events." Sophie was talking about Nichole. Mrs. Pittman had heard plenty about Nichole and Sophie's situation. When she saw Nichole, visibly pregnant, appearing before Bea, it had made her uncomfortable.
Frowning, she said, "How could the Burke family let a mistress waltz in like that? He's unwilling to divorce you, but still blatantly brought someone home. What does that mean!" As Ms. Pittman sided with her, Sophie added, "The Burke family sentthis invitation, and if it weren't for hoping to see you after so long, Mrs. Pittman, I wouldn't have come." Mrs. Pittman patted Sophie's hand and said, "Let's meet privately next time, no need for these business gatherings." "Sure." Sophie smiled in agreement.
"Ms. Sophie, Hea would like a word with you." Just then, a maid cover to fetch Sophie, but Mrs. Pittman frowned and said, “I still have a lot to talk about with Ms. Sophie. Go tell Bea that I'm borrowing Ms. Sophie for a chat, and she can see her afterward." The maid, not daring to object, could only relay the message as instructed.
Sophie smiled faintly, continuing her conversation with Mrs. Pittman on the side. Her gaze briefly swept over to Bea and Nichole. She noticed Bea's displeased reaction upon hearing the maid's message. Nichole was quietly comforting her.
Sophie hadn't expected Bea to welcNichole back after the last falling-out she had with Mr. Briggs.

Considering Bea's personality, she would never have allowed Nichole to join such an event or enter the Burke ve family's home. However, Nichole cleverly used her pregnancy and appealed to their sympathy to gain forgiveness. Yet, at this moment, Mr. Briggs and Ricardo were nowhere to be seen, which was unexpected.
"Ladies and gentlemen, besides introducing a new product for our business friends, Mr. and Mrs. M Pittman today's gathering also serves to announce the future granddaughter-in-law of the Burke family" Then, Bea took Nichole's hand and announced, "Ms. Rowena will be the future Mrs. Burke, the wife of my grandson James." Nichole blushed, radiating happiness.
Sophie, however, frowned.
Bea's decision seemed off. After the last major dispute with Mr. Briggs, her acceptance of Nichole's presence was already a stretch How could she now publicly announce Nichole as the new Mrs. Burke? "Ms. Sophie, don't take it too hard. At least now, you can finally get your divorce." Mrs. Pittman consoled Sophie, who managed only a weak smile in response.
"Isn't Mr. Burke still married? How can they already decide on a new Mrs. Burke?" "Well, she's pregnant and also a lady from the Freeman family. They had to give her a status!"
"Can you believe it? It's said that Miss Freeman literally put her life on the line, leaving Mr. Briggs with no choice but to swallow his pride and propose marriage into the Burke family. Rumor has it he offered a wedding gift that's nothing short of a king's ransom!"
