Chapter 990
"Exactly, I got into a fight with a dog! Neither of us had our wallets!" Adler explained anxiously from the side.
Sophie nodded, suddenly understanding. "So, you two went out for a late-night snack, got drunk, fought a dog on the way, and ended up sharing a hotel room?" "Exactly!"
"That's right!"
Neither Adler nor Jenna seemed to think there was anything off about their response.
Sophie nodded, saying, "So... the result is that you two ended up sharing a room."
Both Adler and Jenna swallowed hard.
With a smirk, Sophie said, "Mr. Adler, I must say, you really know how to stay under the radar until it counts."
Jenna's face turned a rare shade of red, and she glared at Adler, "This is all your fault!"
After saying that, Jenna stomped upstairs.
Adler was about to follow her but realized Sophie was sitting across from him. He clasped his hands together pleadingly, "Please don't tell Colby! You mustn't say a word!" After saying this, Adler hurriedly chased after Jenna.
Sophie sighed, shaking her head helplessly. These two really are a pair of lovable fools.
Sophie put down the hotel register she was holding. As she got up, she heard the sound of high heels clicking at the door.
Sophie frowned slightly and looked towards the door, only to see a graceful figure.
Elodie took off her sunglasses and glanced at Sophie. Even though it was just a glance, Sophie felt a sense of familiarity in that gaze. That confident yet indifferent look reminded her of herself. "I'm looking for Gordon." Elodie smiled slightly and took the initiative to shake hands with Sophie. "You must be Mrs. Costello, right?"
Sophie looked down at the hand
Elodie extended towards her. It was not the hand of a pampered heiress. Elodie's hand was not soft or delicate; instead, it had a thick layer of calluses on the palm.
"Ms. Elodie?"
Sophie guessed the identity of the person in front of her. At first glance, she wasn't quite sure who the other person was, but Gordon had
าวน
mentioned Elodie the day before, and considering the recent major event in the Burke family, it seemed likely the Reeves family might come calling. However, Sophie hadn't expected Elodie to show up so soon.
"It seems Gordon has mentioned me to you."
Elodie raised an eyebrow and said, "The moment I saw you, Ms. Sophie, I felt a sense of déjà vu. Like we had met in a previous life."
Hearing the latter part of Elodie's statement, the smile on Sophie's face faded.
Elodie withdrew her hand as if joking, saying, "Just kidding, Mrs. Costello, don't mind me."
With that, Elodie's gaze shifted upstairs, just as Rick came down and said to Elodie, "Ms. Elodie, Mr. Costello is waiting for you in the study." "Alright."Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Elodie politely nodded at Sophie and then followed Rick upstairs.
Sophie couldn't help but feel there was something odd about the way Elodie had looked at her. That gaze... as if she had seen through something.
Sophie shook her head, dismissing it as overthinking. Reincarnation, after all, would seem absurd to anyone it supposedly happened to. Surely no one really believed in reincarnation, right?
Upstairs, Gordon was sitting in his
office chair, looking at the
documents in his hand. As soon as Elodie entered Gordon's study, she
smelted the pungent scent of disinfectant. "Are you sick again?"
