"Oh?"
Sophie leaned against the second-floor railing, her curiosity piqued. With her cheek resting in her hand, she looked down and asked, "What debt might Ms. Rowena be talking about? I can't remember any."
"Sophie, cut the crap! Isn't a box of Bea's stuff still with you? Now that you're no longer Mrs. Burke, you should return it, right?"
Sophie couldn't help but laugh at Nichole's smug attitude.
She had almost forgotten about it until Bea's name was brought up.
To get rid of the Devins family, Bea had swapped a box of her prized possessions with Sophie for a billion dollars in cash as collateral.
From Nichole's words, it was clear Bea hadn't filled her in on this detail. She'd just sent Nichole to fetch the box.
Typical Bea, always using others as her pawns.
Sophie said, "Do you even know what's in that box, Ms. Rowena?"
"Bea's stuff is always top-notch. Whatever's in there, you're handing it over today!"
Nichole was sure Sophie had taken Bea's belongings when she was Mrs. Burke.
Now that Sophie and James were divorced, it made sense those things should be returned.
With a slight smirk, Sophie said, "Ms. Rowena, if you're here to collect a debt, you'd better know the details. If you reallyr want that box, I'll give it to you."
Nichole sneered, "Smart move! Get that box down here now!"
"Yes!"
Seeing Nichole's troubled expression, Sophie feigned surprise, "What? Ms. Rowena, don't tell me you don't have the money?"
"Ridiculous! I'm the future Mrs. Burke International. How could I not have a billion?"
The thought of running Burke International in James' absence gave Nichole confidence.
As the general manager, getting a billion dollars should be easy, right?
Sophie saw through Nichole's thoughts and raised an eyebrow, "Ms. Rowena, it might be easy for you to get a billion, but I heard James isn't in Devonport right now. And a billion isn't a small amount. Given your position, I doubt it’ll be easy to get approval, right?"
Sophie’s taunt worked perfectly. Nichole immediately shot back, "Just a billion! Of course, I can get it approved. Don't underestimate me. One call to James, and the money will be in my account in no time!"
