StarNovelChapter 534 Watching Harold extend his hand, Gordon stepped forward, gently pushed Harold's hand down, and said, "Oh, kiddo, Colby never shakes hands with anyone." Harold looked down at his own hand, feeling he wasn't yet qualified to shake hands with Colby.
With a twinkle in his eye, Gordon looked at Colby and said, "Colby, dothe honor and cupstairs with me. I have something to discuss with you" Hearing this, Colby wrapped his arm around Sophie's waist and said, "My wife comes with me." Being publicly called his wife made Sophie blush. She shot Colby a look. "I don't want to go with you. You have your talk. I won't be in the way." With that, Sophie brushed off Colby's hand.
Gordon just smiled lightly, then instructed the butler to push him towards the elevator Jenna nudged Sophie and said, "Why not go up and see? Whenever those two talk, Adler and I never get to listen in. You could share the gossip with us." Sophie wasn't interested in the secrets of these two men. Whatever they discussed was their business, and she didn't want to interfere The thought of being in a room talking with Gordon, that cunning old fox, made her feel particularly uneasy.

"Weren't you supposed to be toasting me? How cno one is offeringa drink?" Jenna pulled Sophie to sit down, saying, "Alright, alright, I will personally toast to you! You should feel lucky! Sophie's face lit up with a smile. It had been a long tsince they had all been together like this.

Colby lifted the document in his hand and said, "Don't tellthis is all you've found." "One of the shareholders is Odile." Gordon's words made Colby frown even more.
"Listen closely, it's Odie. Gordon spelled out the name, causing Colby's frown to deepen "Your parents' case, and Sophie's parents' case, involve more people outside of Devonport. In addition to Ricardo, who has arrived, and Mr. Elwood, whom you took care of, now Odie from Summerfield is involved. I believe the mastermind behind all this is deeply hidden." Colby sat on the couch, downing the half glass of whiskey in one gulp.
Gordon stared at Colby and said, "Odie and Ricardo are not on the slevel, you know that. We can only rely on new faces to get into the casino, "What do you mean?" Tve already signed a contract with Ms. Sophie. She's going to becan actress. You should know that besides casinos, the Minton family is involved in other businesses." Before Gordon could finish, Colby had already risen to his feet, his gun pointed directly at Gordon's forehead. "I warn you, don't drag Sophie into this!" "It's not that I want to drag her into this. She's already involved." Gordon's expression remained calm. "You know Sophie is willing to stand by your side. You knew that before, so she knows you understand her.

Just catching up with Gordon over sdrinks." Gordon also wore a light smile. "My health isn't good. He drank, but I didn't "You have drinks, and you're not down there enjoying them? Mr. Gordon, your brother is already drunk, Shouldn't you check on him?" 1/2 11:44 Sophie hadn't expected Harold to have such a low tolerance. Just three drinks in, and he was already out.
I guess he's been out of the gtoo long. I go check on him.” The butler entered the room, pushing Gordon out.
Sophie stepped inside, her gaze falling on Colby's weist. "Letsee." Colby, not wanting to hide anything from Sophie, took out the gun and placed it in Sophie's hand.

“I think I might need to." Sophie looked at Colby seriously, "I overheard your conversation from outside.

Sophie continued, "Mr. Gordon specifically had the butler callto callto ne the door, probably because he or wantedto hear your conversation clearly. So, I think I might need this in the future."
After a moment of silence, Colby said, "Sophie, it's not that I don't understand you it's just that suddenly. I'm afraid, afraid that you might be in danger."
