In the afternoon, when Sophie got back to Burke Estate, she saw the maid cleaning up the messy living room.

"Did the Aldridge family get robbed?" Sophie asked, puzzled.

With the kind of security the Aldridge family had, a break-in seemed pretty unlikely.

"Mrs. Costello, thank goodness you're back!"

The maid looked a bit distressed as she approached Sophie and said, "Mr. Gordon asked to see you in the study as soon as you returned. He said it's urgent." Knowing Gordon had something important to discuss, Sophie didn't waste any time and headed upstairs.

But when she opened the door, there was Rick standing there, holding a bill.

Rick looked serious. "Mrs. Costello, will that be card or cash?"

"Seriously?" Sophie forced a smile. "The boss called me back for this?"

Gordon was sitting at his desk, looking calm. "Even though our relationship is special, the six-figure damage Colby caused still needs to be settled."

Feeling a bit helpless, Sophie rubbed her forehead. "Fine, I'll pay by card."
