Everyone fell silent. Sophie picked up the car keys from the table and said coldly, "I have my own agenda. It doesn't matter whether Mr. Gordon is sincere or has ulterior motives. As long as it serves my purpose, I'll pursue it. From now on, I'll take charge of our actions. Neither of you should interfere."

Sophie glanced at Colby but couldn't bring herself to say anything harsher, turning to leave instead. Colby followed closely behind Sophie, while Adler and Jenna looked somewhat uneasy.

Adler touched his nose and said, "Well... we should get going, Mr. Gordon. Let's meet another day."

Adler, holding Jenna's hand, whispered, "Let's go now!"

Gordon watched as they left. He made no attempt to hold them back. Only after everyone had left did he begin to cough violently. His butler, looking worried, said, "Sir, you've been worried all night. You should rest now."

Gordon was pale and had been holding back, thus revealing no weaknesses. He replied, "No rush, someone still hasn't arrived."

The butler was surprised when a man, who had been hiding outside, walked in wearing a black face mask and a baseball cap, concealing his features.

"Who's there?!" The butler immediately became alert.

Harold removed his mask and cap, revealing his identity. "It's me."

Seeing it was Harold, surprise showed on the butler's face. "Mr. Harold?"

Gordon said to the butler, "You may leave us."

"Yes, sir." The butler exited.

Harold, concerned about Gordon's health, approached him. "You're not well. Why not have a doctor examine you?"

"It's just a minor illness, no need to bother." Gordon asked, "I assigned you to secretly protect Sophie and monitor Minton International's movements. Have you discovered anything?" "Odie has taken an interest in Sophie, but I'm afraid Odie might harm her with his methods."

Gordon remained silent.
