Chapter 494 Sophie's voice regained its coolness. If I choose to be with you, I could face too many unknown dangers. I think.. we should just let it As Sophie uttered the second half of her sentence, Colby's grip on her arm tightened progressively. "Givestime, and I will sort everything out." "I've given you too much time. Do you remember? You toldbefore that you had already drawn a clear line with past dangers and would givea stable future, but you broke your promise" Sophie's expression was indifferent. Having lived once more, she clearly knew what she wanted, and Colby couldn't give her what she wanted.
Sophie stepped into the elevator, suddenly feeling extremely tired.
'Ding ding- A call from an unknown number cthrough on her phone. Sophie hesitated before answering, only to hear Gordon's voice. "Walk out of the hospital's main entrance, then look to your left" Sophie was puzzled. She stepped out of the elevator and, sure enough, saw a black Maybach to the left as she reached the hospital's entrance.

"Mr. Gordon, how many phone numbers do you have?" Sophie couldn't even recall how many of Gordon's phone numbers she had saved. Gordon smiled faintly, speaking in his usual gentle and refined voice. "Get in." Sophie took a deep breath, then got into Gordon's car The streets were extremely quiet late at night. Sophie looked out of the car window, saying "Just dropoff at the entrance to my apartment." "I didn't say I was here to take you home." "Huh?" Sophie, belatedly realizing, found she had gotten into Gordon's car without asking anything.
Gordon said to the chauffeur driving the car, "John, pull over." "Yes, sir" The chauffeur pulled over. The night air was cold, and Sophie couldn't help but sneeze as she got out of the car. Gordon took off his overcoat, and dmped it over Sophie's shoulders, saying, "Cwith me." Before them stood a rather plain villa located in what could be considered the best area. The simplest villa here would cost a fortune, indicating that its residents were undoubtedly wealthy or noble.
This place didn't look like it was often inhabited.
"I didn't know you had such a unique villa here, Mr. Gordon." "This isn't mine! Gordon's tone was indifferent, and before Sophie could react, Gordon took out a key. He coughed lightly, and his complexion did not look great, as he opened the villa's door.
"Sophie stepped forward, asking, “If this isn't your house, why do you have the keys?" "A friend gave them to me." The people Gordon would call friends were few in Devonport, and Sophie immediately thought of Colby.
Gordon opened the main door, and Sophie followed him inside. The villa looked modest from the outside, but its interior decoration was exquisite and considered top-notch even by today's standards.
Gordon turned on the light, and Sophie looked around. The place seemed well-maintained as if someone had cleaned it regularly Gordon obviously wasn't here for the first time. He took in Sophie's puzzled expression and said, "I have someone clean here every so often. It's still the sas it used to be. Nothing has changed." "This... Was this where Colby used to live?" Sophie had never heard Colby mention it. When she and Colby spent ton the yacht, he had briefly shared sdetails, but she knew very little else, Gordon invited Sophie to sit on the living room sofa. Sophie noticed a wedding photo hanging in the room, featuring a pregnant woman

"This "This was Alexander and Gwen's wedding house back in the day" It seemed Gordon was reminiscing, but he was quite young at that tand only remembered that the Costello family head and his wife were deeply in love.
Unlike the couples in the business world who only showed affection in public, Alexander looked at his wife with intense affection, which couldn't be faked.
Gordon continued, "The Costello family initially had a military foundation, tracing back to Lennon's generation. Later, as the country prospered, the Costello family gradually moved away from the center of power to engage in business in Devonport, thus becoming the renowned Costello family of today." "I know this, but I don't understand why Colby suffered abroad from a young age. Why didn't the Costello family bring him back when they had the means?" With the Costello family's extensive reach, finding the sole bloodline of the Costello family wouldn't have been a difficult task.
Gordon then said, "Alexander and Gwen died in a carefully planned car accident. Can you make any connection?"
"A car accident?" Sophie's mind own m om inadvertently flashed to her own parents, who also died in a car NO accident, a chill running down her spine. "What do you mean by saying that?" X
