When Angelo and Sandy got the invitation to Burke Estate, they were both pretty bewildered, finding themselves plopped down on a sofa with no clue what was going on.
Adler and Jenna leaned in, scrutinizing Angelo and Sandy with wary, suspicious eyes.

"You two are the eldest of the Pollard family. Is the Pollard family planning something big in Devonport?" Adler asked. "I've heard Kiran Pollard, the eldest son, is quite the hotshot internationally. His eloquence, demeanor, and discipline are top-notch. His decisive and swift strategies have made him a real mover and shaker." Jenna looked at Angelo earnestly and added, "Someone like that, how could he possibly be wearing cartoon pajamas?" Angelo, dressed in SpongeBob SquarePants pajamas, shot back, "I was still sleeping when you hauledover here. What's wrong with my clothes? These are limited edition! You probably can't even get them!" Halfway through his retort, Angelo noticed the stares fixed on him.
"Mr. Pollard, we're very curious about why you and your sister are visiting Devonport. Surely it's more than just a casual trip?" Adler pressed.
Angelo was about to object when Sandy blurted out, "We're definitely not here for sightseeing." Instantly, all eyes turned to Sandy.
Trying to recover, Sandy quickly added, "I mean... I'm here to repay a favor! I have no idea what my brother's up to." "Hey! You!" Angelo, feeling betrayed, was ready to blow up, but then he noticed Adler and Jenna's skeptical looks again.
Suddenly, James's advice echoed in Angelo's mind: 'Never let anyone guess what you're thinking. That way, you can always have the upper hand.' Clearing his throat, Angelo leaned back on the sofa and said coolly, "Why should I tell you why I'm in Devonport?" Opposite them, Sophie and Colby watched Angelo's demeanor. Sophie raised an eyebrow, thinking how comical Angelo looked-talking like a CEO while wearing cartoon pajamas.

"Alright, Mr. Pollard, forget we asked," Sophie said, standing up. "But I guess I you don't have a place to stay in Devonport? Why not stay with us at Burke Estate? It's more fun with more people."
"We've got places to stay," Angelo shot back. "The Pollard family owns several houses in Devonport!"
"Oh, con, the best place in Devonport is Burke Estate. Don't be shy," Adler insisted, pulling Angelo to his feet Jenna, with a forced smile, did the swith Sandy, adding, "Oh, this young lady seems so charming. Let's all stay together. We can have afternoon tea and go to the beauty salon." Adler and Jenna's overly enthusiastic hospitality left Angelo and Sandy thoroughly puzzled.
