Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 946

Within the Aldridge family, Adler drove Sophie and Jenna to the Burke Estate first, before he and Colby rushed off to check on the company.

As soon as they stepped inside, Sophie and Jenna saw a flurry of international medical experts moving in and out of the hall, seemingly deep in discussion. Various butlers and maids were hurrying between the first and second floors, indicating that something urgent was happening.

Sophie recalled that in her previous life, Gordon wasn't supposed to pass away this soon. Even though many things had changed since her rebirth, an illness shouldn't have progressed this quickly, right?

"I wonder what's going on now," Sophie mused aloud.

Beside her, Jenna looked visibly nervous, clearly shaken by the commotion in the Aldridge family's hall. The last time she had seen such chaos was when the previous head of the family had passed away.

"I'll go up and check," Sophie said.

"I'm coming with you!"

On the second floor, the maids were too preoccupied to notice Sophie and Jenna. Sophie immediately made a beeline for Gordon's bedroom.
