Chapter 1009
Jenna was floored, "How did you get back so fast? It hasn't even been an hour!"
"Where's Gordon?"
"In the study..."
Jenna had no clue what Sophie was planning, but judging by her demeanor, it wasn't anything good.
Sure enough, Sophie made a beeline for Gordon's bedroom.
The maid, who was tidying up, looked surprised to see Sophie and blurted out, "Mrs. Costello, the master's in the study, you could... Oh! Mrs. Costello! What are you doing?"
Sophie started rummaging through the room, leaving the maid dumbfounded, "Mrs. Costello... What's going on?"
"Where's the medicine that was here earlier?"
Sophie pointed at the coffee table, and the maid hesitantly replied, "I think the master threw it away."
"Threw it away? Where?"
The maid glanced at the trash can, and before she could react, Sophie reached into the trash without hesitation.
Jenna arrived at the door just in time to see this bizarre scene, gasping, "Sister-in-law, what kind of habit is this?!" Sophie quickly found the pills, didn't waste any time, grabbed them, and dashed out of the room.
"Sophie! Sophie!"
Jenna had no idea what Sophie was up to, but she did her best to keep up with Sophie's brisk pace.
In the study, Rick was briefing Gordon when they suddenly heard a loud 'bang.'
"Who's there!"
Rick instinctively shielded Gordon, but upon seeing Sophie, he froze, "Mrs. Costello?" Sophie ignored Rick and quickly walked up to Gordon, smiling at him, "Mr. Gordon?"
"What..."
Before Gordon could finish, Sophie shoved the pill into his mouth.
"Cough! Cough cough..."
Gordon felt something stuck in his throat. Sophie, realizing she hadn't brought any water, simply tilted Gordon's chin and covered his mouth, saying, "No water, Mr.

Gordon will have to bear with it for now."
When Sophie let go, Gordon's face was pale, "What did you give me?"
"Medicine."
"What kind of medicine?"
"The one you threw away."
Hearing this, Gordon's face turned even paler.
Rick was not used to seeing such an expression on his master's face.
Just when Rick thought Gordon would explode with anger, Gordon slowly said, "Do you realize..."
"I know, it's about taking sides."
Sophie said nonchalantly, "But it was

"Sophie..."
"Mr. Gordon, if you're really upset, why not punish me?"
Sophie stood shamelessly in front of Gordon, inviting punishment, yet Gordon didn't utter a word of reprimand.
"You may leave."
Gordon's expression was cold, as if nothing had happened.
Jenna, standing at the door, was absolutely stunned.
Is that it?
When has Mr. Gordon ever been so gentle?
As Sophie turned to leave, she seemed to remember something and turned back seriously, "If you try to wash your stomach out or induce vomiting, I'll wait until you're asleep to pour your vomit back into you."
