Upon hearing this, Colby paused for a moment before speaking, "I was away from Devonport during those years, so I didn't know what was going on."
Sophie looked puzzled.
Noticing her confusion, Colby's eyes darkened just a bit. "Let's head home first, alright?"
"Alright."
Half an hour later, at the Burke Estate.
"What?! You're not the daughter of the Russell family?" Angelo was taken aback, jaw practically hitting the floor.
How could Sophie not be the Russell family's daughter?
Sandy, clearly frustrated, gave Angelo a light smack and said, "Seriously, bro, were you even listening? She said some girl named Claire is claiming to be the real heiress of the Russell family! No one ever said Sophie wasn't the heiress."
"Oh..."
Angelo breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "So, you're saying this Claire is just pretending, right?"
"She's definitely a fake."
Sophie was sure of it, while Sandy asked, a bit skeptical, "How can you be so sure? What if she's telling the truth?"
"Ms. Sandy, you shouldn't tease your brother when you're just as gullible," Jenna chimed in. "It's such an obvious impersonation, no one would believe it, not even outsiders."
Sandy pouted, "Then why would she go around saying she's the Russell family heiress? If no one buys it, isn't she just making a fool of herself?"
