“Okay,” Caelum nodded kindly, waiting until Sandy had run off before his expression darkened.”Sir, it seems Ms. Vanessa has decided to get engaged to Odie. Quite a few people have already received their invitations. Miss Sandy clearly doesn’t know yet…””Don’t let her find out,” Caelum said, displeasure evident in his voice. “I used to think Vanessa was a decent girl, but who knew she’d pull something like this? Sandy may be a bit spoiled, but she values her relationships deeply. Finding out her close friend is getting together with her ex-fiancé would really hurt her.””Understood, sir. I’ll make sure the news doesn’t reach Miss Sandy.”Across the room, James watched the scene unfold, his expression growing more somber by the minute.Beside him, Angelo peeked through the door crack, asking, “What’s got you so lost in thought?””Nothing.”James returned to the couch, and Angelo said, “Let me tell you, my sister, when she makes a move, even the ghosts and spirits fear her! Your grandmother wouldn’t be able to handle it. She’d be rushing back to Devonport by nightfall.””I’m not worried about that.””Then what are you worried about?”James paused, then asked, “Did you get the invitation?””What invitation?””The engagement invitation for Vanessa and Odie.””Vanessa and Odie are getting engaged?

“Memorize these over the next.netdays get clear on what I’ve told you, and then you can go cause a scene.” Pausing, James continued, “If possible, bring your sister along. The more chaos at the engagement party, the better.”Angelo looked bewildered. Chaos? What chaos?James said, “If Sophie goes… the plan could start earlier.””What plan?” He had no idea there was a plan.”Since she’s your boss, I think it’s necessary for you two to get to know each other.””Wait, what?””Take the initiative to talk to her, although I think she might approach you first.””Huh?” Why would Sophie want to approach him?”I can go over the day’s agenda with you a couple more times. Can you keep up?”James continued talking, leavingAngelo from bewildered to utterlyconfused. At what point did he start losing track of James’ train of thought? The next day at noon, Sophie was woken up by the noisy commotion downstairs.Colby had gone to Costello Corporation to attend to business in the morning, leaving her alone at home.Downstairs, Colby’s men were tryingto block someone in the yard:”There’s nobody in the house! Movealong! We don’t hit women, but ifyou push us too far, we will take action!” “Get out of my way! I am the Pollard family’s daughter! Who dares to stop me?”
