Sophie immediately seized upon Leah’s words, her expression fierce. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence! I’m sure Charmaine is scheming something! They used to be at odds, and now they’re suddenly friendly? Charmaine shows up, and Dominic appears right after, ready to whisk Mr. Riverson away. They’re clearly working together!”

Already seething with anger, Bennett clenched his fists. “If she dares to mess with our plans, she’ll regret it!”

Jonah gave a subtle nod. “We’ll take our leave.”
