Outside the Pollard residence, Jenna had already stormed out, scanning the surroundings and noticing the car was empty. She frowned and shouted, "Adler! Get out here!"
Hearing her, Adler sheepishly emerged from a corner.
"Jenna..."
Clearly annoyed, Jenna asked, "Why did you run off?"
"As a grown man, how could I trouble two young ladies?" Adler said, trying to butter her up. "You're the one with the power, Jenna. That roar of yours back there was absolutely epic! I heard it from outside!"
"That's only because you're useless!"
Adler quickly agreed, "Yes, yes, you're right! I'm useless!"
Jenna rolled her eyes and said, "Where's Sophie? Didn't she get back safely? You promised to take me to see her, so let's go!"
"Let's visit her tomorrow."
"Why?"
Adler put on a mysterious air, "They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Why should we intrude and be third wheels?"
Realization dawned on Jenna.
That does make sense!
She asked, "Has Colby already gone to the Burke Estate?"
Adler complained, "Speaking of which! Your brother dashed to the Burke Estate the moment he landed! Didn't even check on his own friend first!"
These past few days, he'd been running around for the Costello family, dealing with S Corporation affairs, ensuring his own family's business was stable, and keeping tabs on contacts in Summerfield while investigating Sophie's kidnapping. He was as busy as ever, while Colby had the time of his life in Summerfield! Not even considering taking him along!
Adler had long wanted to give Odie a piece of his mind! Unfortunately, he missed out on such a golden opportunity.
Pausing, Gordon then said, "But no worries, the Aldridge estate is so vast, he won't know which guest room Ms. Sophie is in without me telling him."
Hearing this, Colby smiled, a rare sight these days, "Your men can't keep me from my wife, I'm too anxious to find her."
With that, Colby took off his overcoat, handing it to Rick, and then swiftly ascended the stairs.
Normally, he would have taken the time to tidy himself up, but today, he couldn't wait any longer.
Being apart for just under a week felt like decades to him.
He longed to see Sophie, not willing to wait another moment!
In the guest room, a maid had prepared warm water for Sophie, "Ms. Sophie, the bath is ready. You're injured, allow me to help you wash."
Sophie nodded, and the next second, the door was suddenly pushed open with a 'bang'.
