"Whatever." Colby's voice was cold as he dropped that word and turned to leave.

Once Colby left, Adler didn't want to stick around either. He quickly caught up with Colby, leaving Vanessa alone.

Sophie, witnessing this, simply turned and left as well.

Jenna asked from the side, "Did you hear what they were saying?"

"I did."

Adler's voice was so loud, it was impossible not to hear.

Vanessa just inadvertently caused her a lot of trouble.

Jenna saw Sophie's grim expression and grew serious. "Will Vanessa joining Burke International's film division cause you trouble?" Sophie remained silent, but her expression said it all.

"That bad?"

"I hope not."

But indeed, the White family overseas had their moment of glory, and now, with Colby's support, it would surely make people wary.

Burke International inviting Vanessa to join their film division at this time was clearly a strategic move, a way to shift attention from the recent scandal involving Corin.

Having the White family's background, Vanessa would also attract a significant amount of overseas investment.

No wonder Vanessa and Colby had been trending online recently. It was Burke International building momentum for Vanessa.

With this, the film division of Burke International, previously marred by Corin's scandal, seemed poised for a revival.

Within three days, Vanessa indeed started making frequent appearances on the trending list. With the title of an overseas socialite, Vanessa quickly became the darling of high society, an heiress of wealth. This persona was something she could firmly establish.

Sophie sat in the top office of S Corporation, feeling weary.

The situation had taken a turn, and everything was unfolding as she had anticipated. The film division of Burke International was indeed gradually recovering thanks to Vanessa's involvement.

Corin's impact on the film division was slowly diminishing.

Tricia knocked on the door, saying, "Ms. Sophie, there's an urgent matter."

"Come in." Sophie asked tiredly, "What's the bad news this time?"

"Nichole has been released from prison."

Hearing this, Sophie's weary eyes regained focus as she frowned. "You said Nichole has been released?"

"Yes."

"Who released her?"

"It's unclear, but it seems it wasn't the Burke family's doing."

Sophie found it amusing. "If it wasn't the Burke family, then how did she get out? Did she escape on her own?"

"It doesn't seem like an escape. It looks like she went through the proper procedures and was bailed out."

"Are you suggesting Nichole's mother spent a fortune to bail her out?" Sophie laughed, saying, "I have people watching Nichole's mother around the clock. She's dodging creditors every day; she doesn't have the money to bail Nichole out."

"I've already sent someone to investigate. However, Nichole went straight to the Burke family upon her release and now is under Bea's protection, making the investigation somewhat difficult."

"It's okay. Take your time with the investigation. This matter isn't urgent."

"It isn't?"

"Since Nichole is out, it means she has the means to do so. And now, she's under the protection of Bea from the Burke family, who's eager for a grandchild. Who do you think would dare touch her?" Hearing this, Tricia also fell silent for a moment, then said, "I understand, I'll get on it."

"Be thorough. The information gathered will sooner or later come in handy."
