Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1006

Bea strolled over to Elodie, gently patting the back of her hand. "My dear niece has always been such a well-mannered and sensible child, unlike you. I won't let you corrupt my precious grandniece."

It was clear to everyone that Bea favored Elodie immensely.

However, Elodie and Sophie both knew that Bea's affection was merely for show.

After all, Elodie and Bea were relatives only in the most distant sense, with no real interaction over the years.

It wasn't as if Bea had fallen in love with Elodie at first sight.

It was all about interests at play.

Elodie gently withdrew her hand from Bea's grasp, then smiled at her. "Bea, I was merely exchanging a few words with Mrs. Costello. It's nothing significant."

"How could it be insignificant? You are the heir to the Reeves estate, my guest from the Burke household. Sophie is a sly one, hell-bent on seizing our Burke assets. I can't let her brainwash you!"
