Before meeting Elodie, Sophie already knew she was a once-in-a-century genius in the Reeves family. Taken back hby her parents at seventeen, she then embarked on an astonishing journey of success. Despite being fostered in the countryside for over a decade, she showed exceptional business talent upon returning to the city. Elodie was also a renowned CEO in Harbor City, her skills no less formidable than James's.
Elodie sat across from Sophie, quietly sipping her coffee. "Are you here to convincenot to compete with you for control of Burke International?" she asked.

James was in charge because he had an additional 10% from Bea, making it over half of the company's shares. But if Bea and other shareholders unite against you, with their 55%, you could be ousted quickly, and your shares might be repurchased by Burke International, cutting all ties between you and the company." "Gordon refuses the medicine because he doesn't want to take sides with you, is that it?" Sophie asked, catching Elodie off guard.

Elodie blinked, "Mrs. Costello, have you been listening toat all?"
She had shared crucial information, yet Sophie seemed solely fecused on why Gordon wasn't taking his medicine. "Ms. Elodie, thank you."
Sophie stood up, a slight smile on her face. "Now that I know what wanted, e our conversation can end here." As she turned to leave, Elodie stood up abruptly. "Sophie! Wait!" Sophie paused, asking, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?" Ashburn > X
