Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"I've come to see your lady of the house."

Sophie's face carried a polite smile.

Upon seeing this, the security guard immediately said, "I'll go inform our lady right away."

"Wait a moment."

Sophie stopped the security guard and said, "I also wanted to thank you for yesterday. If it weren't for the clue you provided, we wouldn't have been able to find Jenna. We've come this time to express our thanks to the lady. It's alright if she doesn't see us; just convey our gratitude to her." "Ms. Sophie, you're as beautiful as you are kind. Providing that clue was the least I could do."

The security guard scratched his head sheepishly, then said, "It's cold out here. If you don't mind, perhaps you'd like to rest in the security office while I go and inform the lady."

"Thank you very much."

Sophie gave the security guard a slight smile, and he led the three of them into the security office.

Once in the security office, Harold asked, "We didn't actually find Jenna, so why let him say that? Or do you suspect..."

"I'm just being cautious."

Sophie replied, "Jenna is no ordinary person. Even Wesley couldn't have taken her from the Tredgold family without making a sound, let alone without alerting Adler. If it wasn't Wesley who took her, then the only possibility within the Tredgold family is May."

"May is a distant relation of my Aldridge family; she's technically my aunt. I can't imagine her, a woman married off for decades, being capable of such a thing."

"That's why I said it's just to be cautious. I'm worried she might refuse to see us."

While they were talking, Colby had already extracted the surveillance footage from the other night and saved it to his phone.

Sophie turned to Colby and asked, "Why save this?"RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"There's something off about that surveillance footage. I'll check it when we get back."

Sophie was taken aback, saying, "You mean, someone tampered with the footage?" "Yes."

They remembered the first time they saw the footage, there was a segment in the middle that turned black. It wasn't a natural error but seemed like someone had hastily edited it, leading to a brief period of blackout.

After Colby put away his phone, the security guard had already comez back, saying to Sophie and the others in the security office, "Ms. Sophie, Mr. Aldridge, Colby, the lady invites you in."

"Alright."

Sophie and her companions made their way into the Tredgold family's living room.

May was wearing a simple and elegant dress, and upon seeing the three enter, she promptly offered them water. "So, you must be Sophie? Please, take a seat."

May seemed no different from any ordinary person, but her gaze quickly fell on Colby, showing confusion. She looked at him for a good while without recognizing him, "This is..."

"I'm her husband, Colby."

Sophie took Colby's hand.

May's confusion deepened, "Colby? Not Yun..."

"Ms. May, it's me, Harold."

Harold promptly interrupted May.

May then turned her attention to Harold.

Harold now had a buzz cut, looking striking and tall, no longer the little boy he once was.

"Harold? You've grown so much."
