Chapter 1286
The security guard looked Adler up and down and asked, "And who might you be?"
Adler, trying to save face in front of Sophie and Colby, retorted, "Are you blind? Can't you tell who I am? I'm your young master!" The guard, maintaining his professionalism, responded, "I'm going to need to see some ID."
Adler's temper flared. "ID? To get into my own house?"
"Sorry, I can't just take your word for it. If you were an imposter and I let you in, I'd lose my job," the guard explained earnestly.
Adler dug into his pocket, pulling out a high-end leather wallet and waving it around. "See this? Designer wallet. Costs a fortune."
He opened the wallet, revealing a stack of credit and bank cards. "See? My credit cards and bank cards! Does an average person have this many?"
Still unfazed, the guard repeated, "I'm going to need to see some ID."
"So you're saying you won't let me in because I don't have my ID on me?" Adler fumed.
Seeing the commotion, Jenna quickly got out of the car and walked up to Adler's side, shoving an ID card into the guard's hand. "There, now open the gate!"
The guard carefully compared Adler's face to the photo on the ID, then took out a device, surprising both Adler and Jenna.
With a serious demeanor, the guard swiped the ID card through the device to verify its authenticity. Once satisfied, he stepped aside and said, "Young master, miss, please come in." "We have friends with us," Jenna added, pointing behind them.
Sophie and Colby got out of the car together.
The guard, maintaining his politeness, approached them, "I need to see some ID from these two as well..."
But before he could finish, he felt a chilling gaze that made his spine tingle. It was Colby.
Sensing the tension, the guard swallowed hard.
Adler jumped in, "This is the CEO of Costello Corporation, and this lady is Ms. Sophie from S Corporation and the Russell family. Still need to see their IDs?"
"No, no, that's fine!" The guard said quickly, opening the iron gate with a flattering smile.
As Sophie walked in, she commented, "Mr. Adler, I didn't expect it to be so hard to get into your place."
Jenna added, "Yeah, not just anyone can waltz into the Tredgold estate."
Adler replied, "What can I say? The

I prefer to stay outside
rather than live in my mansion or drive my luxury cars?"
Sophie took in the surroundings of the Tredgold estate, noting its vintage charm. It seemed ancient but had likely been renovated, with a majestic layout that rivaled any other family's estate.
"They say the Tredgold family is the weakest among the four major families, but it's been peaceful for over a hundred years without any trouble Seems like they're more prudent than us," Sophie remarked.

"Better safe than sorry. Whether it was my grandfather or my father, they've always been extremely cautious about everything," Adler explained.
