Upon receiving the news, James quickly made his way to the location. There, the salvage team presented him with a piece of clothing belonging to Sophie, asking, “Sir, is this the garment your wife wore?”

When James saw the garment, his expression involuntarily stiffened. He had seen Sophie wearing this piece of clothing, and on the day of the kidnapping. Sophie had also been wearing it in the surveillance footage.
