Rachel knew that the cold, calculating Lauren had always been the biggest threat to George’s claim to the inheritance.

Just as Rachel was about to enter, she suddenly heard the screech of tires from behind.
Turning around, she saw someone jumping out of a flashy red Maserati. It was Sybil.
“Rachel, huh? What are you doing here? You don’t really think you’re getting in, do you! This is a private chib–no membership card, no entry,” Sybil said

The security guards instantly noticed the baby bump Callie was protectively cradling.
The photos of her with George had long been circulating online. Seeing Sybil standing next to her now, they didn’t need any further confirmation —it was clear. The woman was, indeed, the future Mrs Fox.
