Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Given by someone important?"

Sophie nodded, "William said it was from Ms. Elodie."

Gordon turned away, his voice flat, "The medicine might be valuable, but if it's from her... I won't take it."

Outside the door, Rick was carrying a bowl of chicken soup. As he pushed the door open, he saw Sophie and Gordon talking.

Seeing Rick about to leave, Sophie said, "I came to visit Mr. Gordon, and now that I have, I'll take my leave."

She glanced at Gordon one more time, "Mr. Gordon, please rest well. I won't disturb you any further."

Gordon stayed silent until Sophie left, then Rick closed the bedroom door.

"Sir, there's nothing wrong with the medicine. William's already checked it out and said it could be replicated exactly."

"No need," Gordon said, tossing the medicine from the table into the trash can. "From now on, don't bother showing me anything from Elodie."

"But sir, Ms. Elodie meant well..."

"What her goodwill means, do I need to explain?"

Rick fell silent.

Gordon's eyes were as emotionless as a frozen lake: "Whether in the past, present, or future, my decisions are final. Even if I'm on my deathbed, no one decides for me."

"Yes, sir."

Rick bowed his head.

It was a choice between life and death.

Accepting the lifesaving medicine meant aligning with Elodie.

Rejecting it left no escape.

Elodie aimed to win his heart, letting him decide his own fate.

Even she knew that with the lifesaving medicine in front of him, compared to that person, he would heartlessly abandon the former.

Life was never what he cherished the most.

In the guest room, Sophie was deep into gossip about Gordon and Elodie. Jenna, watching her engrossed look, couldn't resist asking, "Sophie, what are you looking at?" "Gossip."

"Oh?"

Jenna leaned in, munching on popcorn, and was surprised at the screen's content: "Wow! The head of Aldridge Global and the heiress of the Reeves family once had a passionate love affair... These tabloids really write anything."

"What? Gordon and Elodie weren't in love?"

"Absolutely not, I guarantee it."

"Why?"

Jenna noticed Sophie's curiosity and wondered, "Colby's been out all day, and you're not worried about where he's gallivanting, but you're interested in Gordon's gossip?" en.swhovels.net

"Where could he gallivant to? He's sharing his location live."

Sophie held up her phone, adding, "The old man's been pushing him to plan the wedding; he's been busy with that these days."

Jenna nodded, "That makes sense."

"Jenna, you haven't told me yet! What's the deal with the gossip about Gordon and Elodie?"

Sophie was eager to know more about this juicy news.

Jenna cleared her throat, "Well, it's a

long story. Elodie was unknown until she turned seventeen, supposedly raised by another family on behalf of the Reeves family, and then

somehow brought back. Since then, the Reeves family's ventures in Harbor City skyrocketed

"And then?"

"After that, Elodie publicly declared her affection for Gordon, but Mr. Gordon never responded."

"Why didn't he respond? Was he shy? Did he not like her?"

"Neither."
