Adler was visibly flustered, glancing around to make sure that no one was paying attention to thembefore he hurriedly pulled Jenna. towards the entrance of the estate. “Let’s get a move on, my lady. Nomore questions.”
“I demand a full explanation. Explain yourself!”
Jenna was dragged into the grand estate by Adler, a scene that was overheard by Sophie from insideher car.
Sophie rolled down the window, while Tricia broke out in a cold sweat behind her. After a long pause,Tricia asked, “Ms. Sophie, would you like to get out?”
Sophie didn’t respond immediately.
From Adler and Jenna’s reactions, it was clear there was something going on between Vanessa andColby.
“Let’s get out.”novelbin
“Yes, Ms. Sophie.”
Tricia got out of the car and opened the door for Sophie.
Dressed in a burgundy evening gown, with her long, straight hair reaching her waist and silver tasselearrings framing her face, Sophie looked delicate and exquisite. As soon as she stepped out, she drewthe attention of everyone around.
“Isn’t that the daughter of the Russell family? What is she doing here?”
“Did you see the news a while back? She miraculously survived a tragedy and divorced the CEO ofBurke International at a funeral.”
To show up at an event like this, dressed so strikingly, she’s got quite the nerve.”
The ladies around whispered among themselves.
The security at the entrance of the estate stretched out his hand, saying, “Please show your invitation.”Tricia pulled out an invitation for Sophie, which was addressed to the CEO of S Corporation, Blake.
The security guard frowned, glancing at Sophie as if doubting her identity.
“Mr. Blake had an emergency, so he asked Ms. Sophie to come in his place.“.
Hearing this, the security guard let them through, but it sparked more whispers among the crowd. Theyclearly found it inappropriate for a woman on the verge of divorce to be so closely associated withanother man.
Inside the hall, all eyes were drawn to Sophie.
Jenna, who had been arguing with Adler, stopped mid–sentence upon seeing Sophie enter.
“Sophie…” Jenna was startled.
“Jenna, it’s been a while,” Sophie said with a smile.
“A long while indeed…”
Jenna was surprised to see Sophie here. She quickly realized something and immediately ran toSophie, grabbing her arm and said anxiously. “Sophie, what are you doing here? Why didn’t you tell meyou were coming?”
“You all didn’t give me a heads–up either, did you, Adler?”
Caught off guard by his name being mentioned, Adler nervously turned around and stammered, “I…Ijust forgot. That’s all…” Adler was so flustered he could barely speak coherently.
Sophie remarked, “It seems Mr. Adler isn’t exactly thrilled by my uninvited presence.”
“How could that be.” Adler exclaimed. “It’s wonderful that you’re here.”
His voice faded, “It’s just the timing…”
Hearing Adler’s comment, Jenna glared at him. “Nonsense, what are you talking about.”
At that moment, the lights in the room dimmed, and Colby emerged from a corner of the stage, with hisarm around Vanessa.
