Jenna stayed put, frowning as she asked, "Rick, about that kidnapping from years ago, the little girl I saw in the hospital-that was Sophie, wasn't it?"

"Ms. Jenna, it's not as tangled as you think. All you need to know is that Mr. Gordon is doing everything for Ms. Sophie's well-being."

Rick left the room, leaving Jenna with her thoughts. Adler noticed her troubled look and chimed in, "Don't worry. Mr. Gordon's a sharp guy; he wouldn't miss a beat. Come on, lighten up." "It's just... I feel guilty about keeping Sophie in the dark."

"Let's trust Mr. Gordon's judgment," Adler suggested. "He's looking out for Ms. Sophie, and we shouldn't rock the boat. What if meddling makes things worse for her?"

Jenna nodded, a bit reluctantly. "Alright, just this once. But if Sophie ever presses me..."
