Chapter 775
The maid hesitated, then said, “It’s it’s Ms. Rowena
.*
“Rowe… you mean Nichole?
“Yes”
Who in Devonport didn’t know the gossip about Nichole, Sophie, and James?
Now, with Nichole showing up as the future Mrs. Burke, it was obvious she was here to stir up trouble
“Ms. Sophie, should I have security come up with an excuse to turn her away?” “It’s okay” Sophie put down her spoon, having been eating her oatmeal, and said, “Let her wait in the lobby. I’ll be down shortly?
“Yes, Ms. Sophie”
After the maid left, Sophie leisurely continued eating her oatmeal, spoonful by spoonful Since Nichole was here with bad intentions, she didn’t feel the need
to rush
Nichole wouldn’t dare cause a scene at Burke Estate
Meanwhile, in the lobby Nichole walked into Burke Estate: flanked by Burke International’s bodyguards. Her eyes lit up instantly
She had thought the Burke family was impressive enough, but she hadn’t expected Burke Estate to be such a vast estate
In the city center, owning such a manor was priceless!
Sophie was reallu lucky!
“Ms. Rowena, Ms. Sophie said to wait here for a moment. She’ll be down
shortly”
The maid maintained a polite tone.
But Nichole sat down on the sofa, assuming a superior posture. “I know, my time is precious. Tell Sophie to hurry up.”
The maid frowned slightly at Nichole’s rudeness. Even though Nichole was the

future Mrs. Burke, this was Burke Estate! It wasn’t just any place,
Even James would have to be polite here, but Nichole was so arrogantly demanding!
“Why are you still standing here? Hurry up!”
Nichole was full of attitude, following Bea’s instructions to come and collect a debt. Naturally, she wouldn’t be polite to Sophie, a lady of the bankrupted Russell family.
Nichole seemed to forget this was the Aldridge estate, not a place for her to throw her weight around,
After the maid left, Nichole sat in the living room waiting.
One hour passed…
Two hours…
By the third hour, Nichole was getting numb from sitting but still hadn’t seen Sophie.
Not even a maid had passed by.
Angry, Nichole stood up and shouted, “Where is everyone! Is this how the Aldridge family treats its guests?”
As Nichole lost her composure and started shouting, Sophie finally walked down the stairs, taking her time.
“Showing up uninvited and shouting in the owner’s house, Ms. Rowena really Jacks manners.”
Nichole looked up, seeing Sophie come out, her eyes full of rage. Sophie had clearly done it on purpose, leaving her hanging here!
“Oh, it’s Ms. Sophie herself. Abandoning the respectable title of Mrs. Costello to be involved with the head of the Aldridge family. The once daughter of the Russell family, to have fallen so low!”
Facing Nichole’s insults, Sophie couldn’t be bothered to respond. “It seems you have no real business with me. Security, please show our guest out.”
The Aldridge family’s security guards flooded in, and Nichole and her

bodyguards were quickly surrounded.
Watching Sophie’s commanding presence from the second floor, Nichole shouted, “Sophie! I was sent by Bea to collect a debt from you! You lay a hand on me, and Burke International won’t let you off!”
