Jenna had that look of someone who wouldn''t stop until she got to the bottom of things.


    Sophie felt a bit uneasy, and halfway through their journey, she suddenly got cold feet. "Jenna... maybe we should just drop it. I don''t want to see what''s going on."


    "What? We''re almost there!" Jenna looked at Sophie, surprised. "Don''t you want to know what kind of rtionship your brother has with this Emmalee?"


    "I''m just scared of what we might uncover," Sophie admitted, falling silent.


    If her brother truly cared for someone else but ended it because of their engagement, missing out on a lifetime of happiness, she could never forgive herself.


    "Rx, you''re the one engaged to Gordon. The Aldridge family would never let him marry someone else. Besides, we''re just having a peek, not crashing their party. So, chill out."


    Jenna tried to calm Sophie, but the more she talked, the more anxious Sophie felt.


    It was precisely because the Aldridge family wouldn''t let Gordon marry anyone else that she feared she was the reason her brother missed out on happiness he deserved.


    Jenna soon pulled up to the Grand Hotel.


    The sky was already darkening.


    The hotel manager spotted Jenna and hurried over to find her a parking space, but she waved him off. "Don''t worry about that. Is Gordon inside?"


    "Yes, Mr. Gordon is here. He''s booked the entire ballroom today, though we''ve got private rooms avable too."


    Jenna was taken aback. Gordon booked the whole ballroom? But still kept a private room?


    Wouldn''t a private room be more intimate for a dinner date? Why go for the whole ballroom?


    Sophie instinctively nced through the hotel lobby''s massive windows.


    From there, she could clearly see inside.


    In one nce, she spotted her brother in the ballroom.


    "It''s him!"


    Sophie quickly ducked behind some bushes near the hotel. The manager, seeing this, was about to step in, but Jenna tossed him her car keys. "Just park the car, forget about us!"

    "But Ms. Jenna..."


    The manager wanted to ask if they nned to go inside, but Sophie and Jenna


    were already crouching sneakily behind the bushes.


    The manager stood there, puzzled.


    What was going on here?


    Sophie kept her eyes glued to


    Gordon inside the ballroom. He was


    with a woman in a red dress, her


    every move radiating elegance. Even


    from behind, it was obvious she was sophisticated and beautiful.  swnovel


    Sophie looked down at herself, then back at Emmalee inside, and instantly felt the


    difference between them.


    "So, my brother likes this type of woman."


    Mature, elegant, poised, and graceful.


    They truly made a perfect pair.


    No wonder folks always said Emmalee and her brother were a golden couple.


    If it were her, she''d think the same.


    "This Gordon,ughing and chatting. away with another woman, has he forgotten he has a fiancée? No way, I''m going in to give him a piece of my mind!"  swnovel


    With that, Jenna rolled up her sleeves, ready to storm in.


    Sophie quickly stopped her. "Jenna! Don''t go!"


    "Don''t hold me back!" Jenna shot back.
