Chapter 1013
"Yeah, that's right."
Sophie nodded.
"Huh? Aren't you the Russell family's heiress? I always thought heiresses were like my sister, never lifting a finger."
Hearing her brother badmouth her in front of everyone, Sandy shot back, "Who says I can't cook? I can make chocolate!"
"Sure, sure, melting chocolate and pouring it into a mold counts as cooking."
Angelo and Sandy bickered like siblings do.
Gordon suddenly lost his appetite. He put down his fork and said, "Rick, pack up the dinner and bring it upstairs. It's too crowded down here; I can't eat comfortably." "Yes, sir."
Adler was taken aback. "Wait, if you take the food, what are we supposed to eat?"
"Mr. Adler and Ms. Jenna, haven't you already had dinner at the Four Seasons Hotel? You probably aren't up for a second meal tonight."
Adler's face turned beet red as his date with Jenna was exposed. He jumped up and bolted upstairs like a kettle boiling over.
Jenna, acting nonchalant, whistled as she followed him up the stairs.
Sandy and Angelo were left baffled.
What's happening? Did they have a fight?
Seeing Gordon go upstairs, Sophie sighed.
Things were definitely not going smoothly.
Noticing Sophie's downcast expression, Colby asked, "Did you upset him?"
Sophie briefly recounted the day's events, finishing with, "To put it bluntly, it was almost like I had pooped right in front of him."

Colby facepalmed.
Anyone else might have let it slide, but Gordon was not one to easily forget an offense.
Although he hadn't said anything, it was uncertain whether he would make things difficult for her later.
After all,
On was a smiling tiger.
Despite his gentle and refined

behind the scenes.
"I'll talk to him about it, don't worry."
Hearing Colby's promise, Sophie finally felt a bit more at ease.
As Jenna had mentioned, no one in the Aldridge family had ever gone against Gordon's wishes.
Not just the Aldridge family, but probably in all of Devonport, no one dared to do so.
Sophie wasn't sure whether to admire Gordon's decisiveness or to think he was just used to being alone.
But she didn't regret giving Gordon the medicine.
The next morning, Sophie got up early.
She had already received news from the docks and had sent the location and time to Odie.
In the morning, Sophie drove to the hotel where Odie was staying.
After Colby had torched the Minton family's influence in Devonport, Qdie temporarily had no place to stay and had to sadly reside in the presidential suite of a hotel.

Soon, Odie appeared in front of Sophie, dressed in a bodyguard's uniform.
Thanks to Odie's build, he looked quite natural in the outfit.
Sophie nodded in approval and said, "Mr. Odie, not bad, you seem to have the potential to be a bodyguard."
Odie, unimpressed, replied, "Save that comment for Colby; he's more suited to be a bodyguard than I am." "Why?"
"Why all these questions?"
Odie frowned and said, "Are you leaving or not?"
"What about Jonah? Isn't he coming with you?"
"Having more people around might. raise suspicion. I've already
arranged everything; we're justel.net
waiting to catch them in the act."
