Chapter 439


    All eyes turned to Geneva, her revtion dangling tantalizingly in the air. Catherine blurted out, "For


    heaven''s sake, Geneva, spill the beans already!"


    Geneva simplyughed before carrying on, "I mean, Sophie justid it out for her, in and simple.


    This was a small-scale operation, just borrowing a lump sum from the upper crust to tide things over.


    Opportunities like this don''t grow on trees, you know.”


    "Damn, that''s some pretty convincing talk!" Catherine snorted with disbelief.


    "There’s more," Geneva said. "Sophie tells Jessica, if word gets out and people find out, they won’t be


    able to keep doing it. For a businessperson, nothing''s more taboo than a broken cash flow. Quick


    turnover—that''s the name of the game. Before outsiders catch a whiff, you''ve bounced back without


    anyone seeing you ever short for cash."


    Janice was impressed. "I''ve got to hand it to Sophie; she''s got the gift of the gab." She turned to

    Geneva, "You sure you didn''t coach her?"


    "Not at all," Geneva assured her. "Sophie''s flying solo on this one! She can handle Jessica no


    problem."


    "And she does," I chuckled, "Sophie totally nailed Jessica''s Achilles'' heel!"


    Geneva nodded, "Sophie''s casual as can be, telling Jessica she couldn''t care less who''s short on cash.


    ''As long as they pay me a sweet enough interest and settle up on time, I''m golden. Why should I be


    content with pocket change when I could be making more money?


    She was convincing, and Jessica bought it. Sophie kept it real with her, like, ''Listen up, don''t say I didn''t


    warn you. Don''t get greedy. There''s risk in every investment. And who we''re dealing with here? That''s


    anybody''s guess! If things go south, don''te crying to me.''


    And she adds, ''Keep this to yourself. This is my exclusive scoop. Start yapping about it and we''ll both


    be in hot water. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Take your tidy profit and zip it. Making waves


    benefits no one. I’m helping you out, so let’s make money together.’ “


    Janice burst outughing, "I mean,e on, with a disimer like that, Jessica still bites? Does she


    even have a brain?"


    We all shared augh.


    Geneva added, "And Sophie ys the regret card, telling Jessica she just got carried away the other


    day, and that’s how she told Jessica. ''Don''t contact me often. If my hubby finds out I''m doling out cash


    left and right, he''ll cut off my allowance, and then I''m toast.''"


    We were all ears, eating up the juicy gossip with augh.


    "Who knew Sophie was such a natural actress?" Janice chuckled with approval.


    I almostughed out loud; the curiosity was palpable and oddly therapeutic.


    I dismissed the thought with a sneer, "Sophie messed with Jessica’s head." Content of

    "And what happened next? She put more money down?" Catherine was eager for the oue. "How


    much this time?"
