Sophie's sly remark was unmistakable: she was implying that Bea had coverseas with thoughts of a late-life fling.

Bea, who valued her reputation above all, turned pale with rage. "Of course, I'm going to go back home! If it weren't for sbusiness I had to handle here, I never would have come!" "Don't get mad, Bea. I didn't say anything that terrible, did I?" Sophie leaned in close to Bea's ear and whispered, "Don't forget, I still have evidence of you hiring someone to kill me. If you don't want to provoke me, you'd better not cross me, or you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars." Bea was fuming hearing Sophie's threat. It was this very threat that had forced James to hand over Burke International to Sophie! Although Burke International hadn't yet fallen into Sophie's hands, there was no guarantee that Bea's foolish grandson wouldn't hand it over to her eventually.

Seeing Sophie's smug smile, Bea, constrained by the evidence Sophie held against her, could only muster a strained grin and said, "It's your first there too, Sophie. Why don't you explore a bit? I'm feeling tired; I'll go rest for a while." Bea turned to leave, clearly having lost the confrontation with Sophie.

Sophie didn't say much more, and Bea headed straight upstairs. Her demeanor was as if Bea herself was the matriarch of the Pollard family.

In the upstairs bedroom, Bea stared at her aging reflection in the mirror, thinking back to Sophie's radiant and confident demeanor, feeling even more troubled.

Sophie's visit was clearly meant to be a thorn in her side! Just then, the maid entered the room and said respectfully, "Ma'am, Ms. Sandy has made a sudden visit. Mr. Caelum askedto told you that you might want to stay upstairs for now." "Sandy is here?" Bea's tone softened, but the mention of Sandy stirred mixed feelings within her.

Caelum had loved her once, she knew that. But Caelum had hidden his identity as the heir of the Pollard family abroad, so she ultimately ne chose Duncan, who was from a well-matched family in Devonport and had his own accomplishments.

She heard that after returning abroad, Caelum took over the family business and remained unmarried for a long time, only marrying at the age of forty under pressure to produce heirs, resulting in two sons and a daughter. Rumor had it that his wife bore a striking resemblance to her. This thought caused ripples in Bea's heart.

The maid continued, "Ms. Sandy heard you were here tonight and wasn't too pleased. Mr. Caelum thought it would be best for you to avoid any unpleasantness."

Bea was unsurprised by Sandy's displeasure, considering Sandy'sn mother was merely her stand-in. "I'll go-down anyway. What can she do to Nas me?"
