Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1834

As Sophie sat there with a jealous pout, Gordon couldn't help but crack a rare smile.

"What's got you grinning? If you've got feelings for Emmalee, you should've told me ages ago! If she's the one you truly care about, then... well, maybe we should just call off our engagement!"

Sophie's words tumbled out as Gordon calmly sliced her steak with the precision of a master chef.

"Honestly, you've never treated me like your fiancée, always like some kid. You've been acting distant lately. I get it; you want to move on and tie the knot with someone else."

Her voice wavered with a touch of sadness as she finished.

"Hey, big brother! Were you even listening to a word I said?"

"Hmm?" Gordon leaned back in his chair, a gentle smile playing on his lips. "I heard it all."
