Chapter 123
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Sophie couldn't help but think Krystal was incredibly bold.
Did she know what status Gordon had? Probably no one had ever dared to be so brazen in his presence.
âLadies and gentlemen, would you like to experience the Aldridge familyâs hospitality?â Gordon looked up, his eyes unfathomable under his brows. He always wore a faint smile on his face, yet his words sent shivers down oneâs spine.
Suddenly, several black-suited bodyguards stepped forward, grabbing the arms of the two families and dragging them forcibly outside.
Krystalâs high heels fell to the ground as she struggled incessantly. âLet go! What are you doing? Let me go!â
In just a short while, the entire hall quieted down as if the commotion had never happened.
âMy apologies to everyone.â Gordonâs voice regained its warmth, and his previous indifference was gone.
Sophie couldn't help but size up Gordon a few times.
In her previous life, she hadn't had much chance to interact with Gordon, but seeing him now in this life, she finally understood why the Aldridge estate had flourished under his management.
Such a man was indeed unfathomable, and the most terrifying men were those you could not understand.
âColby, may I have a word?â Gordonâs gaze fell on Colby.
Jenna whispered to Sophie, âGordon has always been mature beyond his years. Although we've known each other since childhood, we barely spoke.â
âAre Colby and Gordon close?â
âIt seems so, but I'm not too sure.â
Jenna said this and then remembered how Krystal caused a scene at the Aldridge family dinner, her tone becoming frustrated. âWith all that commotion, even Adler knew to stand up and speak, but Colby didnât say a word, acting like itâs none of his business!â
How was he supposed to pursue a girl like that?
âHe was probably just watching the drama unfold.â Sophie couldnât help but chuckle lightly.

ï¤Chapter 784 Whispers of Destiny: His Belated Love ï¤Chapter 153 Colby had remained silent, probably knowing that Sophie had orchestrated todayâs incident. If he had revealed his identity, it would have spoiled the fun. Colby was waiting for her to speak up.
Sophie leaned lazily on the table.
It was just a pity that Nichole had slipped away before she could say a word, and the drama had abruptly ended.
But no matter, Nicholeâs lies had been exposed tonight. The events that had unfolded here would soon become gossip, reaching Jamesâ ears.
Meanwhile, Colt received a call in the hospital corridor and hurried back to the ward, reporting to James, âMr. Burke, there seems to have been some trouble at the Aldridge estate.â
James made a silencing gesture, glanced at Nichole, still unconscious in the hospital bed, and whispered to Colt, âLetâs talk outside.â
âYes, Mr. Burke.â Colt hesitated but still went out to wait.
Once the door to the ward was closed, James said, âSpeak.â
âItâs about Mrs. Burke...â
Before Colt could finish, James frowned and interrupted, âWhat has she gotten into now?â
âIt seems Ms. Nichole's two classmates publicly accused Mrs. Burke of being an escort. They said many unpleasant words, and Mr. Harold had them thrown out.â
