"Deal," Oliver said."Really?" Sophie's eyes widened in surprise. She wondered whether she'd misheard him. Why had he agreed so easily?"I've already reviewed your details, so I know how much truth was in your words. Besides…" Oliver paused. "If even George has given this project the green light, I won't lose out by investing in it."She knew his second sentence was a joke. Still, whatever it was, it was great that he'd agreed."Tomorrow, I'll… No, I'll bring you the contract later this afternoon!" She was afraid he would change his mind.He made a sound of acknowledgment and got out of the car, effectively ending the conversation.Sophie was excited. The moment Oliver was gone, she called Lana and told her the good news.In truth, George's funds were more than enough to cover all the expenses for setting up the academy, and Sophie had her own money. She wasn't strapped for cash at all.She'd deliberately dragged Oliver into this for another reason. Since she was determined to

"Malcolm." Before Oliver could say anything, Simon called Malcolm's name to remind him not to be nosy.Simon and Malcolm were twins. They looked identical, but their personalities were completely different. Oliver's grandfather, David Halston, had selected them and stationed them by Oliver's side. The three of them had grown up together, and they were his best supporters.Malcolm understood what Simon meant and shut up."Whether or not she's up to it, I'm only giving her one chance." Oliver spoke coolly, ignoring the twins. There was a hint of a smile in his voice that he didn't even notice.Malcolm nodded without asking anything else. Meanwhile, Simon gave Oliver a surprised look. He didn't say anything, though.…In the study at Walker Manor, Patrick learned about George dealing with Stu. He also learned that Sophie wasn't dead."She's not dead?" Patrick was first stunned. After a while, he snapped to his senses and cried in agitation, "That's great! I knew Soph was blessed! I

Geraldine waited behind the door for the longest time, but Jason didn't show. She couldn't resist going to his room to look for him, but she found that he'd already shut the door and locked it.Not only had he not come to her, but he had even put up his guard around her so that she couldn't disturb him!Flames of rage burned bright within her, and she felt like she was going to explode. Since he wanted to be so heartless, she no longer needed to hold back.She stormed back to her room and called Colin, asking him to find out what he could about the Halston and Walker families. Jason was too useless to get the two families to work with him, but she felt she wasn't like him. She knew she could do this.Once she secured cooperation from both families, Jason would regret the way he'd treated her!Early the following day, Geraldine woke up to a message from Colin. He told her that Oliver had just invested in a dance academy that was still in the preparation stage.It turned out Sophie

"No way," Lana said firmly."And why not? You just want money, right? Name your price, and I'll give it to you once you get me in." Geraldine snorted. "People like you will do anything for money, anyway."The Samsons had always thought that Lana turned down their offer to teach Geraldine how to dance because Tricia had offered her more than they had. But in truth, Lana cared about the person, not the money.Lana sneered. "Since you think that money can solve everything, find a way to deal with this yourself. Don't bother me."She wanted to roll up the window, but Geraldine stopped her. She screeched, "I'm only asking for your help because I'm treating you like a person, Lana. Do you think you're worthy of this otherwise?"So what if you insisted on teaching Sophie and treating her like she's your own all these years? All she did was win a few lousy competitions! Now that she's dead, you don't even have anyone to care for you in your old age!"Now, I'm giving you a chance to save

Geraldine was already seething, and it didn't help that it felt like Jason was deliberately ignoring her. Her pent-up emotions burst forth, and she started pounding on the door."Open up, Jason! How dare you ignore me!" she screamed, banging away without a care for whether she was disturbing anyone.Her outburst naturally drew a crowd of onlookers, and some among them recognized her."Isn't that Geraldine Samson, the homewrecker? Why has she come all the way to Jeriton from Rivervale?""Judging by how she's acting, is she here to catch someone in the act?""Well, it's what she deserves. This is karma biting her in the ass for ruining someone's marriage! Pfft!"Someone spat at Geraldine while insulting her, and things slowly started getting out of hand. More and more people gathered around to see what the commotion was about.They hurled insults and mockery her way, filling her ears with various curses and harsh words.Geraldine had never been on the receiving end of such treatm
