Playing Mrs. Beckett 045 - In A Week
“We’re going to Palladio,” Edmund said, giving no place for Sophie to refute. “They can make those cute daybeds too, you know.”“It’s different, but I understand,” Sophie chuckled. “Let’s make them busy.”“Are you really okay, though? Your husband was there, buying furniture for another woman…”“Ed, I’m okay. The moment I first contacted you that day, I made up my mind.”“He could buy anyone anything and I wouldn’t bat an eye. In a week, we will have nothing to do with each other. Lawrence will make sure of that.”Edmund nodded, but it was clear that he was worried about something. “Do you need anything?”“Thank you, Ed,” Sophie smiled. “You sending Lawrence is the biggest help I can get right now.”“I still feel uneasy,” Edmund lightly shook his head. “The way your husband was acting, parading around with his mistress even after receiving the court notice. And based on what you told me, it seemed like he had no plan to change his mind about the DC transfer. With that audacity, I woul

Sophie shot a glance at Edmund, who shrugged and once again turned his attention to Adrian.“That is right. Sophie Langham is my sister,” he said, putting particular emphasis on the name “Langham.” “Seeing as you have other… engagement, Mr. Beckett, I think it’d be wise for us to leave.”“Let’s go, Ed,” Sophie said, already walking towards the door. Edmund hummed in acknowledgement, giving Adrian and Julia a brief nod, but not before slipping a few hundred-dollar bills into the tip jar.“I trust you will keep everything that happened here to yourselves,” he said to the two clerks.“Y-yes, Mr. Langham.”With that, Edmund gave one last po

“Are you sure you want to go here? We can always go to Palladio and get custom furniture, you know?”Edmund’s words brought Sophie back, and when she came to, she was at the last turn before Something Borrowed. It was a vintage thrift store for furniture. Sophie found it by chance when she first set up Meadow Lane.“Yes,” she said. “There’s a bed frame that caught my eye on their website. I just want to secure that.”“Can’t you just buy it from the site?”Sophie sighed. “If that were possible, don't you think I'd already have it?”“Ah,” Edmund nodded. “It is one of those experience stores.”“Exactly,” Sophie chuckled. “They accept shipping, but only after you see the real thing and feel the connection or whatever.”“Alright then,” Edmund said. The parking lot in front of the store was all occupied, and they saw no empty spot nearby.“Want to get off first?” Edmund offered. “It might take a while, and I might need to park somewhere far away.”“Sure,” Sophie said. Edmund pulled over, le
Playing Mrs. Beckett 042 - The Langham Siblings
Edmund Langham had always been too kind for the world he was born into.As the future heir to the Langham empire, the elders deemed him too soft-hearted, and took his compassion as weakness. This world required vision, decisiveness, and when necessary, cruelty. Thus, despite his brilliance in nearly every other regard, the elders remained reluctant to appoint him. Unfortunately for them, there was no one more capable.Not until Sophie was born.At seven, Sophie outwitted an abusive nanny. She engineered a way for the adults to discover the nanny’s true nature, to expose her meticulously veiled oppression and manipulation. The elders praised her cleverness.At twelve, she led her middle school's student council, managing a secret investigation against a problematic teacher students and alumni had complained about for years. The elders praised her decisiveness.At sixteen, Britain's most prestigious academy offered her admission with a guaranteed Ivy League pathway. The elders praised

Now that Mrs. Whitaker had uncovered everything—Sophie’s real identity and the actual depth of her affiliation with Oliver Blackwood; she no longer bothered to hide her attempt at matchmaking. Oliver didn’t seem to mind, seeing as he pulled up with a grin on his face.“Mr. Oliver Blackwood running errands for his grandma?" Sophie teased as she opened the passenger door.“Well, can you say anything against Mrs. Whitaker?”“I can not,” Sophie nodded. “That is why I’m here at all.”“Then we’re in the same boat.”Oliver started the engine. “Just for the record, I’m only here as the chauffeur. If grandma starts planning our wedding over breakfast, I deny all responsibility.”Sophie nodded solemnly. “Fair. I’ll deny mine, too.”Even without a gala, The Whitaker Manor still looked as magnificent. The garden was meticulously crafted, Sophie noted, as the butler led her to the gazebo where Mrs. Whitaker waited.“Ah, there you are!” said the elderly lady the moment she spotted Sophie, though he

The Farlow Tech Lawsuit. Julia had been with the company for a mere three weeks. A senior manager tried to pin a negligent mistake on her. She demanded to meet Adrian, claiming that she had information to regain Farlow Tech’s trust.She went through all the necessary procedures, and when she finally stood before him in his private office, she didn’t cry. Didn’t beg. Just quietly placed a stack of evidence on his desk.“I believe I’ve been made a scapegoat.”Adrian took the evidence, a smirk escaped him when he saw what it was. An incriminating proof, enough to pull every rotten root.“I understand.”He called legals. They won. The cunning senior was no more. Julia Hall said as she was leaving.“Thank you, Mr. Beckett.”“Don’t thank me,” he replied. “I’m simply rewarding competence.”That was that. The extent of Adrian’s assistance. He had used Julia Hall as a means to clear out corrupt personnels. That was the first time. That should have been the end of it. From then on, Julia prove

Sophie had expected this. This was Beckett Holdings headquarter. Of course her crossing path with Julia Hall was inevitable. She had assumed that they would meet in the hallway, or somewhere in the office building. Yet somehow, meeting Julia in front of the private office with a special access ma
