Chapter 678
Sandy turned pale with shock, noticing the car behind hers was only on inch away
Furious about her car nearly being hit, she exclaimed, “Who is so rude?! Can you afford the damages if you wreck my car?!”
Sandy saw the other vehicle was just a regular sports car and mistook the driver for some nouveau riche idiot. However, to her surprise, the person stepping out was Adler.
Sandy’s face turned white at the sight of him. The Tredgold family’s reputation was well–known, even abroad. Her visit to Devonport from overseas was precisely to foster good relations with the Tredgold family.
Adler gave Sandy a cold glance and said, “Who says Ms. Sophie has no family to back her up? The Tredgold family is her support!”
Vanessa stepped forward, trying to lighten the mood. “Mr. Adler, please, no jokes. You and Ms. Sophie are hardly related. How can you claim to be her support?”
*This has nothing to do with you, Ms. Vanessa. I am to be a groomsman at the upcoming wedding, naturally making me kind of Ms. Sophie’s family,”
Adler showed no warmth towards Vanessa.
Vanessa found herself at a loss for words, and Sandy added, “Mr. Adler, Vanessa means well. A bachelor like yourself, without a girlfriend or fiancée, backing Ms. Sophie so openly might lead to misunderstandings”
Adler frowned, and at that moment, Jenna also stepped out of the car.
Onlookers noticed Jenna and Adler together and couldn’t help but speculate about their relationship.
Jenna, stunning as ever, wore high heels that added to her commanding presence. She was dressed to the nines like a cold, unapproachable beauty, making people admire her from a distance.
Jenna’s icy gaze landed on Sandy. Sandy frowned, asking, “And who might you be?”
*CEO of Dennis Group, Jenna.”
Jenna’s introduction made Sandy tense up.
She had heard of the President of the Dennis Group, a branch of the Costello family, right?
Jenna stated, “I consider Sophie my sister. If she’s getting married, the Dennis family naturally supports her.”
Then, raising her voice slightly, Jenna announced, “The Dennis family has prepared a wedding gift of one billion for Ms. Sophie! Let’s see who dares to gossip now!”
Sandy’s face darkened. Adler, standing by Jenna, added with a protective stance. The Tredgold Corporation Group stands by her!” Sandy exclaimed, “Have you lost your minds?! Sophie isn’t even related to you, and you’re willing to offer her such an extravagant gift!”
Then, a stretch limousine arrived.
Everyone stepped back, not daring to come closer, for this car bore the unique crest of Aldridge Global
The door of the Aldridge Global limousine opened, and Gordon stepped out with the help of a butler. On seeing Gordon, everyone showed the utmost respect.
The influence of the Aldridge family in Devonport was unmatched.
“The Aldridge family has prepared a wedding gift of ten billion, along with jewels, gold, paintings, and other trousseau items, as well as ten percent of Aldridge Global’s shares. Here is the dowry list.”
Everyone’s expression changed.
Ten billion, not to mention the jewels, gold, paintings, and, most importantly, ten percent of Aldridge Global’s shares!
This gift fwas incredibly lavish, to say the least
This move not only shocked Sandy and Vanessa but also left Adler and Jenna speechless.
They had only made their offers to arrange Sophie’s wedding gifts in a moment of indignation, but Gordon had already planned everything in advance! He even had the dowry list ready!
