Background

The wentworth website states, "Sonia is the wealthy, self-made dynamo behind a cosmetics empire that was owned and run by her late husband, Geoffrey Stevens. While Geoffrey was from a wealthy family, Sonia was not. And while Geoffrey was something of a dabbler, Sonia was passionate, hard working and always had the ability to focus on a goal, no matter how elusive it may first seem. And she is rather ruthless. If necessary, she’ll walk over those in her way, particularly if they’re too stupid or lazy to get the hell out of it. Of course, she can be charming too, as evidenced by the fact she managed to charm her way into the heart and luxurious lap of one of the establishment’s most eligible bachelors."
