Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 123

Sophie couldn't help but think Krystal was incredibly bold.

Did she know what status Gordon had? Probably no one had ever dared to be so brazen in his presence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, would you like to experience the Aldridge family's hospitality?" Gordon looked up, his eyes unfathomable under his brows. He always wore a faint smile on his face, yet his words sent shivers down one's spine.

Suddenly, several black-suited bodyguards stepped forward, grabbing the arms of the two families and dragging them forcibly outside.

Krystal's high heels fell to the ground as she struggled incessantly. "Let go! What are you doing? Let me go!"

In just a short while, the entire hall quieted down as if the commotion had never happened.

"My apologies to everyone." Gordon's voice regained its warmth, and his previous indifference was gone.

Sophie couldn't help but size up Gordon a few times.

In her previous life, she hadn't had much chance to interact with Gordon, but seeing him now in this life, she finally understood why the Aldridge estate had flourished under his management. Such a man was indeed unfathomable, and the most terrifying men were those you could not understand.

"Colby, may I have a word?" Gordon's gaze fell on Colby.

Jenna whispered to Sophie, "Gordon has always been mature beyond his years. Although we've known each other since childhood, we barely spoke."

"Are Colby and Gordon close?"

"It seems so, but I'm not too sure."

Jenna said this and then remembered how Krystal caused a scene at the Aldridge family dinner, her tone becoming frustrated. "With all that commotion, even Adler knew to stand up and speak, but Colby didn't say a word, acting like it's none of his business!"

How was he supposed to pursue a girl like that?

"He was probably just watching the drama unfold." Sophie couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Colby had remained silent, probably knowing that Sophie had orchestrated today's incident. If he had revealed his identity, it would have spoiled the fun. Colby was waiting for her to speak up. Sophie leaned lazily on the table.

It was just a pity that Nichole had slipped away before she could say a word, and the drama had abruptly ended.

But no matter, Nichole's lies had been exposed tonight. The events that had unfolded here would soon become gossip, reaching James' ears.

Meanwhile, Colt received a call in the hospital corridor and hurried back to the ward, reporting to James, "Mr. Burke, there seems to have been some trouble at the Aldridge estate."

James made a silencing gesture, glanced at Nichole, still unconscious in the hospital bed, and whispered to Colt, "Let's talk outside."

"Yes, Mr. Burke." Colt hesitated but still went out to wait.

Once the door to the ward was closed, James said, "Speak."

"It's about Mrs. Burke..."

Before Colt could finish, James frowned and interrupted, "What has she gotten into now?"

"It seems Ms. Nichole's two classmates publicly accused Mrs. Burke of being an escort. They said many unpleasant words, and Mr. Harold had them thrown out."
