Gordon's words were clear to Sophie.

James never liked to talk about his parents, so in their past life, Sophie had tried desperately to understand James's background. After the passing of James's parents, he became the prime focus of the Burke family's attention.

"Mr. Gordon," Sophie said, "I still don't quite get it. The Reeves family is just James's mom's side of the family. You can't just pull someone out of thin air to take control of the Burke family business, can you?" "You should know about the connection between the Reeves family and Beatrice," Gordon remarked.

Sophie frowned deeply.

Beatrice had an obsessive hold over the Burke family and James, even dictating who her son's father could marry. And Ruby was Beatrice's cousin's daughter.

"How could Beatrice, a lady with absolute control over the Burke family, possibly let the family fall into your hands? My sources say she sent someone to inform the Reeves family to find someone to replace James as the head of Burke International," Gordon added.

Sophie was taken aback. "But... I heard there isn't a suitable male in the current generation of the Reeves family."

"Who says a woman can't run Burke International?" Gordon responded lightly. "Elodie, this girl, is quite remarkable."

Sophie didn't quite remember anyone from the Reeves family named Elodie, but anyone praised by Gordon had to be someone special.
