Reece immediately became alert and stared at the driver through the rearview mirror. The driver,


    keeping his eyes on the road, spoke in a low voice, “Ms Sophie, please don’t worry it’s just that our


    boss wishes to meet with you. There’s no ill intent.”


    “Your boss?”


    She didn’t know many people in Devonport. There weren’t many who could rece her driver and


    know of her whereabouts so precisely. Just as Sophie was filled with doubts, Reece had already pulled


    out a pocket knife hidden in his sleeve


    Sophie immediately grabbed Reece’s hand


    Reece frowned, worry evident in his eyes

    Sophie shook her head.


    The driver did not seem to have any malicious intent, and if someone had managed to rece her


    driver undetected, harming her would have been an effortless task. There was no need for such


    roundabout methods.


    Whoever wanted to meet clearly had something important to say


    The long night stretched ahead, and so she decided to meet this mysterious man the driver spoke of.


    Soon, the car stopped at a familiar ce.


    Upon seeing the words “Aldridge Mansion, Sophie got it


    Gordon was the person who wanted to meet her!


    “Where’s the knife?” Sophie’s sudden question left Reece startled.


    Sophie’s expression was troubled. “I don’t want to see him.”


    Although her interactions with Gordon hadn’t been fluent, Gordon was a man who smiled with a knife


    behind his back. He was


    He was someone she could never see through.


    Every time she saw Gordon, the image of him ordering a woman to be thrown out of a second–story


    window on their first meeting haunted her.


    She was inherently afraid of this man, who was full of conspiracies and schemes.


    “Then fill take you back”


    Reece’s agreement was swift, but the moment he got out of the car, he was subdued by two security


    guards from the Aldridge family.


    Tm sorry. Mr. Reece, but our boss wishes to see Ms. Sophie alone”


    Reece’s eyes turned cold, but the situation was clear. He couldn’t take Sophie away.


    Sophie sighed. Now, she had to see Gordon whether she wanted to or not,


    Sophie said, “I’ll go with you, but you can’t harm Reece.”


    Ms. Sophie, rest assured, Mr. Reece is a guest of honor. We will treat him well. The boss only wishes


    to speak a few words with you. You have nothing to fear. When the timees, we will ensure you and


    Mr. Reece are escorted back safely.”


    The butler was very polite. So, Sophie didn’t refuse.


    It was just a meeting, and it wasn’t like she would lose a piece of flesh.


    But then she remembered it was Gordon she was about to meet, and suddenly, this felt far worse than


    losing a piece of flesh.


    Aldridge Mansion looked just as it did thest time she had visited.


    Ever since thest time she had celebrated Harold’s birthday here, she hadn’t returned. She


    sometimes kept in touch with Harold over the phone. However, Harold had been quite elusive recently


    and often disappeared without a trace, which she hadn’t taken too much to


    heart.


    Now thinking of Harold, Sophie, following the butler behind, asked, “Where’s Harold? Why isn’t he at


    home?”


    *He went abroad a few months ago and hasn’t returned yet.


    “Abroad?”


    Sophie was taken aback. She had no idea.
