<b>Chapter </b>797


    Sophie asked, “The Pord family… are they really that powerful?”Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    “Totally different from the likes of Ricardo. Even Odie can’t hold a candle to the Pords,” Gordon replied, then turned to Colby. “Ask Colby. Back when he was abroad, he jumped through hoops to get everything from the White family. But even at their peak, the Whites couldn’tpare to the Pords.”


    Sophie pursed her lips; this indeed seemed like a big problem.


    Gordon continued at his own pace, “But your fiancé is something else. He didn’t give a damn about the Pords, tied Sandy and Vanessa up, and shipped them off–literally by air freight. Gotta admire his guts.”


    Sophie was taken aback. “Air… freight?”


    “Yep, air freight. You know, the kind where they’re put in a container.”


    Sophie nced at Colby beside her. He just frowned slightly and said, “If they didn’t want to leave, I had to use some extreme measures.”


    Gordon added, “The Pords really dote on their little princess Sandy. Mr. Pord, when he heard his daughter was mistreated, immediately sent people to Devonport. They n to expand their territory here and take a slice of the pie.”


    This could turn into a huge problem. If the Pords expanded their territory to Devonport, it would be a major blow for them.


    Ricardo had the ambition butcked the capability and ended up failing. And although Odie had ns to spread his casinos in Devonport, he had to do it covertly because of Colby.


    But the Pords, with their solid background and legitimate business, would be a formidable opponent if they set up shop in Devonport.


    Sophie was silent for a moment, then asked, “The future head of the Pord family, is his name Angelo?”


    “No, officially, the current head is Mr. Kiran.”


    Sophie frowned.

    Could it be that the owner of the new newspaper isn’t the head of the Pord family?


    Just as Sophie doubted her judgment, Colby suddenly asked, “Where did you hear the name Angelo?”


    “The owner of the new newspaper is called Angelo Pord. I thought he was from the Pord family, but it seems I was mistaken.


    Gordon said, ‘It’s not necessarily wrong. The Pords are a century–old family with many branches. This Angelo could well be a rtive or from a coteral line.


    Sophie rubbed her temples; too many things had changed after her rebirth. Based on her memories from her previous life, the owner of the new


    newspaper indeed had a significant background, but she hadn’t paid much


    attention then.


    Maybe this Angelo truly is a descendant of a coteral line of the Pords and might achieve great things in the future.


    “Sir, I’ve brought the item you asked for,” Rick said as he entered.


    “Put it down.”


    At the door, Rick ced a beautifully wrapped gift box on the table.


    Sophie looked at it and asked, “What’s this?”


    Gordon said, “There’s a dinner party tonight, and this is the customary gift from the Aldridge family.”


    Sophie asked, “If the Aldridge family is sending a gift, the host of the dinner party must be quite special, right?”


    Gordon gave Colby a knowing nce and said lightly, “Very special. The hosts are the Pord family, and… the Minton family.”


    Hearing the name “the Minton family,” Sophie’s smile gradually faded.


    The Minton family…


    That meant Odie hade to Devonport.
