Chapter 1823
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
âAlright, leave it to me!â Jenna sprang up from her chair, full of energy. âI'll take care of Gordon. You and Harold head to the party!â
âJenna, maybe we shouldnâtââ Sophie started, but Jenna cut her off. âOh, come on! Trust me, when have I ever let you down?â Jenna grabbed Sophie's arm, pulling her to her feet.
Before Sophie could even think of protesting, Jenna whisked her out to the car. âRelax, Sophie. Gordonâs a friend, heâll listen to me!â
Just then, Harold showed up, right on time. He found the two women in the middle of a whirlwind. âWhat are you two up to?â he asked, raising an eyebrow.
âHey, Harold, youâve got your driverâs license, right? Take my car and get Sophie to the party.â Jenna tossed him her keys before he could get a word in edgewise.
Harold glanced at the keys, bewildered. What was all this about?
âGo on!â Jenna urged, nudging him along. Harold shrugged and turned to Sophie. âAlright, letâs get going.â
Sophie kept glancing back at Jenna as they walked away, not entirely convinced. Jenna just flashed her a reassuring peace sign.
Half an hour later, at Aldridge Global...
âMr. Gordon, Mr. Aldridge, Harold...â Jenna put on her most charming smile for Gordon. âIâve already said youâd come. You donât want me to lose face in front of Sophie, do you? You know how much my reputation means to me. If you make me look bad, Iâll never live it down with the younger crowd.â
Jenna looked at Gordon with a pleading expression. âWeâve known each other since we were kids...â
âMs. Jenna,â Gordon replied, his face a mask of neutrality. âI have work to do.â
Rick, who had just entered the room, approached Jenna. âMs. Jenna, Mr. Gordon has a very important meeting soon. Iâll have someone take you to the party.â
Jennaâs expression darkened seeing that Gordon remained unmoved. âGordon, whatâs up with you lately? You wouldâve gone without a second thought before. This is Sophieâs graduation partyâshe wants you there! Is work really more important than spending time with your fiancée?â
Jenna was baffled by Gordonâs behavior. He seemed to be deliberately keeping his distance from Sophie, something heâd never done before.
âMs. Jenna, Mr. Gordon really has commitments. Let me escort you out,â Rick said, stepping forward to guide Jenna away.

ï¤Chapter 782 Jenna, her face set in determination, replied, âFine, Gordon. If youâre bold enough not to show up, donât blame me if I take Sophie and we have our own kind of fun!â
At Jennaâs parting words, Gordon's brow furrowed slightly. She spun on her heel and left.
Rick couldnât help but comment, âSir, are you really going to let Ms. Jenna walk out like that? She might actually do it.â
Jenna was known for her wild streak. Back during her time abroad, sheâd had a revolving door of boyfriends and had seen it all. Letting Sophie hang out with Jenna could only spell chaos.
Gordon responded calmly, âLet her be.â
