Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1909

As the sun spilled its warm light over the horizon, Adler's wedding crew rolled up

to Jenna's front door. Dressed in a sharp white suit, Adler stepped into the Dennis family home, catching his breath with each step. Despite the slightly tousled hair, he still carried that typical charming and dashing aura.

“Jenna! I'm here to whisk you away!" he announced, his face radiating pure joy, as he dropped to one knee, ready to hand Jenna a bouquet of fresh flowers.

Sophie cleared her throat, interjecting, "Mr. Adler, aren't you forgetting something?"

"Forget? What did I forget?" Adler paused, momentarily thrown off. He had meticulously gone over the wedding plans with Colby and couldn't think of a thing he'd missed.

"You forgot the gifts," Sophie reminded him.

Sandy, who had just flown in from overseas with a delayed flight, chimed in. She would have been there earlier to add to the fun as a bridesmaid if not for the delay. Elodie, another bridesmaid, walked in and added, "Even if no one's blocking the door, Mr. Adler, it's tradition. We bridesmaids expect our gifts."

"Red envelopes..." Adler's face turned a bit sheepish.

Caught up with plans to switch the venue earlier that day, he had completely overlooked the promise of gifts to Sophie. In a moment of silent plea, Adler glanced over at Colby for help.
