James was surrounded by a crowd of entrepreneurs, cool as a cucumber, chatting away without a hint of arrogance, despite being the top dog in Devonport.
James was in his element, charming everyone with his business acumen-a skill finely honed from his upbringing in the elite Burke family, every move he made oozing refinement.
Meanwhile, Jonah hurried over to Odie, whispering urgently, "Sir, Ms. Leticia is upstairs." "Keep her in check. Don't let her stir up trouble." 'Got it." Jonah had barely left when a spotlight hit the staircase leading to the second floor. Leticia appeared, descending gracefully in a stunning champagne-colored gown, her makeup flawless, looking every bit the princess. Naturally gorgeous, her bold makeup made her even more striking, leaving everyone in awe at first sight.
"Is that Ms. Leticia? What's she doing here?" "I thought Mr. Odie had dumped her? This should be interesting." The crowd buzzed with gossip, but Leticia, despite the pain in her legs and forehead, continued her descent with elegance. Odie had shoved her down the stairs earlier, leaving her legs bruised and a cut on her forehead that was starting to bleed. Walking in high heels was a struggle, but she had slathered on thick foundation and concealer to hide her wounds. Her forehead throbbed with pain, but she kept a smile plastered on her face. In terms of beauty, no one in Summerfield could hold a candle to her. In terms of status, she was the Gibbs family's only acknowledged daughter! After everything she'd done for Odie, she wasn't about to let herself be cast aside like sdiscarded pawn. She was the only one who deserved to stand by Odie's side! As Leticia made her grand entrance, Daniel's face turned dark. “Leticia? Who let her cdown here?" "Mr. Gibbs, she threatened to jump from the second floor if we didn't get her a gown, so..." The maid looked terrified, knowing Leticia was Daniel's pride and joy, and they couldn't risk letting her get hurt.
Daniel kept a wary eye on Odie's reaction and upon noticing his stern expression, he grew anxious. "Get her back upstairs right now. She can't be down here until the dinner is over!" "Yes, Mr. Gibbs." But before the maid could reach her, Leticia had already made her way over to Sophie and Odie, all eyes on her.
