Chapter 501 "Check if there's steak in the fridge." "Okay." Colby's voice was increasingly affectionate, and Sophie said, “Whoever is lucky enough to marry you must have be really lucky." "Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?" "Of course, I'm praising myself," Colby tumed off the stove and placed the spaghetti in front of Sophie. "The steak was frozen, so I sent someone to buy fresh ones. They'll be delivered soon." Looking at the spaghetti on the table, Sophie said, "Spill it! Coming clean is your best option. Resisting will only make things worse." "After you finish eating." "Why?" Sophie had already taken a bite of her spaghetti when Colby seriously said, "I'm afraid once you know, you'll lose your appetite." Hearing this, Sophie put down her fork and said, "Do I know the killer?" Colby remained silent for a moment, and Sophie's heart ached. "Who is it?" Colby said in a deep voice, “It's Perry" The nPerry struck Sophie's heart like a dagger. She had suspected many people, but Perry had never crossed her mind.
"Why? When did you find out?" Today." When she heard it was today, Sophie was stunned. "Does that mean Gordon only found out today as well?" "We all found out the news today. Gordon knew just a bit before I did. Perry was your parents killer, but there's still someone behind him pushing the buttons. We couldn't investigate the person's identity. In such a situation, when our enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, I can only prepare for the worst" "Why would Uncle Perry harm my dad? Because of his gambling debts?" "The gambling debts had been there for a while. We suspect that those who made Perry incur the gambling debts were part of a large organization. They couldn't shake your father, so they could only start from Perry, who was inconsequential back then, using him to kill your father." *Under Uncle Perry's leadership, the Russell family has been on a decline these past years. Could the enemy's goal be to ruin my family?" Thinking it over, the downfall of the Russell family began with Perry. The gambling debts Perry incurred almost consumed the entire Russell family fortune.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBehind the scenes, this organization devoured the century-old legacy of the Russell family in just a few years, a truly terrifying and appalling feat "The evidence we have now is only that Perry had bribed a driver named Joshua to drink and drive on a specific road section. Joshua died on the spot along with your parents, so there's no evidence of bribery.
Moreover, who would think that someone could be bribed to risk their own life? It's simply not worth it." "Gordon's people found Joshua's son, who suffers from leukemia. Back then, Joshua desperately needed money for his son's surgery, so he accepted Perry's bribe as it was life-saving money. Joshua had no choice but to agree." Sophie was silent for a moment before saying, "Didn't anyone investigate this back then?" "It was ruled an accident at the time, and no one suspected Perry" The respectful and courteous relationships of the past now seemed utterly ridiculous.
No wonder no one suspected Perry. After all, the Russell family had no enemies and no business rivalries to speak of. That car accident was seen as just a drunk driving incident by outsiders. Plus, after Sophie's father died, Perry took over the Russell family. further discouraging any in-depth investigation into the case At this moment, Sophie looked at the bowl of spaghetti in front of her, indeed having lost her appetite.
"I want to see him tomomow and ask for something."
The key to the family vault was still in Perry's hands. After all these years, Perry was hiding it, which meant he knew ssecrets. 08:55 T Chanter 601 No matter what, she had to dig out sinformation from him.
Colby held Sophie's hand tightly and said. "Ill go with you." Sophie withdrew her hand. "You want us to reconcile before everything is out in the open?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmColby held Sophie's hand again, placing it over his heart. Sophie felt his heartbeat, and her cheeks flushed red. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Colby leaned in and kissed the corner of her mouth. Colby's kiss was gentle, as if afraid to hurt her. She instinctively wanted to push him away, but this only led to a deeper kiss.
Only when her body went limp did Colby finally let her go.
Colby's throat moved, and Sophie felt the heat from Colby's skin as if m burned by fire, she pushed him away, her face flushed, and said, "You're not allowed to sleep withtonight." Colby looked troubled and said, "What am I supposed to do then... I still wanted to share more of my stories with you tonight." X
