Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"I wouldn't know about that," the maid said with a sense of regret, "All I know is that the kidnapping was a huge scandal at the time. The Aldridge family was originally our lady's maternal family. When our lady found out about the Aldridge family's troubles, she was devastated." The maid continued with a sigh, "It was a shame, really. The once united Aldridge family became fragmented. Our lady loved Mr. Gordon the most. When she heard that Mr. Gordon was in trouble, she couldn't bear the blow and fell ill immediately."

"I don't seem to recall seeing any news about that kidnapping case back then. Considering even you know about it, was it a famous case?"

"Of course!"

"The Aldridge family was a prestigious household. When such a calamity struck, all the major media outlets competed to cover the story. Even though I was quite young at that time, I still saw those news reports. They said the kidnappers had taken the Aldridge family's younger son and threatened to harm him if they weren't paid."

At this point, the maid paused, "That's odd, Ms. Sophie. How could you not know about it? Weren't you kidnapped alongside the Aldridge family's younger son back then?"

"What do you mean, kidnapped together?"

Sophie was stunned.

Outside, Colby had walked up. Upon seeing Colby, the maid quickly stepped aside, "Colby."

"Colby, what brings you up here?"

"It's about time we head back."

Sophie was still pondering over what the maid had mentioned earlier.

However, their main reason for coming here was to find Jenna. Sophie didn't have the time to dwell on the past events right now.

Hand in hand, Colby and Sophie descended the staircase, with Harold waiting for them in the lobby.

"Let's go, I'll drive," Harold said.

"Colby, I just heard the maid talking about the kidnapping," Sophie whispered, recalling how Colby had mentioned not finding any newspapers from that time. "Let's talk outside."

Colby squeezed Sophie's hand a bit tighter.

Once they were in the car, Sophie directly asked, "What exactly happened with that kidnapping?"

Harold, who was about to start the car, paused at her question.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Sophie continued, "I was kidnapped too, wasn't I?"

She looked towards Colby.

Previously, when Colby couldn't find any reports about the kidnapping, she had her suspicions.

But since it was Colby, she chose to trust him.

However, the maid's words had easily revealed the past events of the kidnapping, proving that Colby could have easily investigated it. Yet, he had chosen not to share his

findings with her.

"Colby, Harold, did you all know about it?"

It wasn't just Harold who had been kidnapped back then.

After a moment of silence, Colby finally said, "All that is in the past and doesn't matter now."

"But it matters to me," Sophie insisted. "That's my past. Without it, I'm not complete. Colby, I

Colby knew Sophie would say something like this; he could never deny her anything.

After a brief silence, Colby slowly began, "The truth is..."
