Sandy might not totally get the tangled drama of Devonport's elite, but she knows Elodie's been gunning for Sophie lately. This trip abroad? All courtesy of Elodie.

Sophie stepped up, invitation in hand, and said, "Since the Burke family and Sandy have teamed up, let's see what Ms. Elodie wants with us this time."

By evening, the area outside the Regent Hotel was buzzing with excitement. Everyone was aware that Reeves International was Devonport's new rising star. Plus, the buzz was that Elodie might just inherit the Burke family empire, especially now that Reeves International had partnered with them.

Sure, the Aryan scandal had shaken things up a bit for Reeves International, but a partnership with Burke International? That would smooth things over in no time. With Burke International's backing, Aryan's mess was practically nothing.

Jenna stepped out of the car, eyes wide as she took in the scene outside the Regent Hotel. "Wow," she said, "the Reeves family really knows how to throw a party. I've never seen such a grand event at the Regent Hotel before."

Devonport had only a few top-tier hotels, but not just anyone could host a banquet at the Regent.

Sophie followed Jenna out, adjusting her aqua-blue dress. "How's my dress?" she asked.

Jenna gave it a once-over, rubbed her chin, and said, "It's nice, but it looks familiar. Did you get it from that beach market last week?"

"Is it that dress that was marked down from nine hundred, then five hundred, to just ninety-nine?"
