Gordon frowned slightly before Sophie could finish her sentence.
Sophie immediately swallowed her words. She couldn't possibly undermine him in his face.
Gordon's severe depression was perhaps his biggest secret.
After all, he controlled such a vast empire as the Aldridge family. If outsiders knew Gordon suffered from depression, it would certainly become a scandal. Those within the Aldridge family who wished to seize power would relentlessly use underhanded tactics.
So, Sophie spoke in a gentle tone, "Mr. Gordon, medication alone can't cure a heart's ailment. Why not find the root of your troubles and completely resolve it?"
"I appreciate your concern, Ms. Sophie."
Gordon's tone was flat as he spoke to the butler behind him, "Escort Ms. Sophie out."
"Yes, sir."
The butler sweated profusely from his back. He had never seen anyone speak so frankly in front of Gordon.
He had thought Gordon would be furious!
Following the butler out, Sophie looked back at the vast Aldridge estate and once again marveled, "The Aldridge estate is truly vast."
She couldn't help but wonder under what torment Gordon had shouldered the entire Aldridge family.
At that moment, under the awning on the rooftop, Colby stood there, leaning against the wall.
"I couldn't even notice your severe depression, yet Sophie did."
Colby mentioned Sophie, and his tone was laced with amusement. His expression seemed boastful as if to say, "My girl is impressive, isn't she!"
Colby turned to Gordon, saying, "As your close friend, shouldn't you tell me what exactly is causing your depression?"
Was it the Aldridge family?
No, the trivial matters of the Aldridge family, which might be burdensome for others, were nothing in Gordon's brilliant mind.
