Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

As the conversation shifted, Gordon glanced at Sophie and asked, "I heard from Rick that you checked out the attic on the third floor." "... Yeah, I did."

"What did you find?"

Sophie lowered her eyes and replied, "Just some old stuff. I'm sorry, Mr. Gordon, it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision."

Gordon didn't push further. Instead, he eyed her snow-white satin dress and said, "Ms. Sophie, dressed like that, are you going somewhere?"

"There's a press conference. I've got some things to sort out."

Gordon gave a gentle smile, "I've caught wind of the buzz online. It's nothing major. If you ever need the Aldridge family to step in, I can arrange for that."

"If it's not a big deal, I can handle it myself. No need to trouble you, Mr. Gordon."

"Mr. Gordon... take care of yourself. I'll be heading out now."

"Alright."

Gordon nodded.
