Sophie had no intention of starting a quarrel with these people, but Nichole was just too arrogant. If she didn't set things straight today, her internship days ahead would be far from pleasant. "Ms. Sophie Russel! I didn't expect you to come in person!" Mr. Donny, smiling as he came out, stopped short at the sight of Sophie's face, taking a moment to collect himself.

What was happening?

Tricia chimed in from the side, "This is Ms. Sophie Russel, also Mrs. Burke, Mr. Burke's wife."

Mr. Donny's face fell. "Mrs. Burke?"

His gaze shifted from Sophie to Nichole. "So, you are Mrs. Burke, and she..."

Nichole frowned, clearly displeased.

Mr. Donny swallowed nervously. Previously, James had never brought his wife to any social events, so naturally, they had no idea what Sophie looked like. Nor had he ever heard that the so-called trophy daughter of the Russell family managed to pursue her postgraduate studies at Eastwood College.

"Mr. Donny, you seem rather nervous." Sophie observed the general manager's reaction with amusement.

"Not at all. It's just unexpected. Mrs. Burke, you are interning at our company, truly a feather in Palm's Jewels' cap."

"Oh, really? I actually feel quite lucky that, as a graduate student from Eastwood College who got in through connections, I can intern at Palm's Jewels."

Sophie's remark changed the expressions of the female employees nearby.

"Mrs. Burke, you really flatter me!" Mr. Donny's forehead was now beaded with sweat. He was caught between James' mistress and wife and could not offend either!

"I believe we need not discuss this further. This year's contract ends here, and next year, Mr. Reece will not renew his contract with Palm's Jewels."

Sophie placed the contract in Mr. Donny's trembling hands.

Nichole said, "Sophie, the planning department has worked so hard on this plan, and you dismiss it with a single sentence. Aren't you being a bit too cold-hearted?" "And what do you suggest I should do, Nichole?"

Nichole puffed up her chest, confident. "You've interned at Palm's Jewels for a few days. Can't you see how hard your colleagues have worked? What gives you the right to cancel the contract just like that?" "Because I am the owner of Russell Entertainment. All decisions for Russell Entertainment are mine to make." Sophie found it amusing as she fixated on Nichole with a mocking gaze. "Ms. Nichole, business is like a battlefield. Trying to guilt trip someone with effort shows you're not suited for this."

"You!" Nichole was left speechless.

"Mrs. Burke, you are right. Our planning indeed has its flaws..." Mr. Donny could not offend Sophie at this time, considering James and Sophie had not been divorced yet. He wasn't foolish enough to side with a mistress immediately.

Sophie stated, "Mr. Donny, I am the owner of Russell Entertainment first, and Mrs. Burke second."

"

"Yes, yes, Ms. Sophie! My apologies for the slip of the tongue. Please don't take offense." Mr. Donny continued, "Ms. Sophie, if there's anything during your time at Palm's Jewels that's been less than satisfactory, please forgive us. Such incidents will definitely not occur in the future!"
