Sophie was momentarily blinded by the lights, causing her to furrow her brows slightly.
Seeing this, Reece let go of Sophie's hand and slowly approached one of the photographers. His broad palm covered the camera lens as he whispered a few words to the photographer.
Upon hearing what Reece had said, the photographer's expression changed, and he scurried away quickly.
When Reece returned, Sophie asked with a frown, "What did you just say to him?"
Reece's lips curved into a slight smile, a mysterious amusement appearing on his usually reserved face. "I told him that if he continued to shoot, I might smash his camera and then have his rival media outlet run the story on their front page. That would ruin his camera and lose him the scoop, effectively ending his career as a journalist."
Sophie was left speechless by Reece's words. She had always known Reece had a cunning side and was full of schemes. Now, it seemed truer than ever!
On the side, James noticed Sophie and Reece's closeness, causing his brows to furrow tightly.
After receiving a message from security, Colt turned to James with a changed expression and hurriedly said, "Mr. Burke! Ms. Nichole and Ms. Bea have arrived!"
"Who allowed them to come?" James' gaze sharpened.
Colt explained, "Marian couldn't stop Ms. Bea. She insisted on bringing Ms. Nichole along, and there was nothing they could do."
Bea was known for her decisiveness, and no one dared to block her way.
Bea entered, dressed in glittering attire that might have been fashionable decades ago but now appeared outdated and tacky. The person assisting Bea was Nichole.
When Sophie noticed Nichole, her brow slightly creased.
Nichole didn't show a pregnancy bump but intentionally wore a tight dress that accentuated her slightly protruding belly.
The executives from Russell Enterprises were infuriated by the scene.
Sophie and James were not yet officially divorced, yet Bea was bringing a pregnant mistress to the event! It was a blatant disrespect to the Russell family.
Nichole's arrogant demeanor only fueled their indignation.
Sophie swirled her glass of wine, watching the unfolding drama with interest.
Reece glanced at Sophie and asked, "Your doing?"
"Just added a bit of fuel to the fire," Sophie replied. "I just didn't expect Bea to play along so well and actually bring Nichole here."
Bea was once a formidable figure, but as she aged, she seemed to lose her wits. Bringing Nichole to such an event was bold indeed.
