Gordon watched the couple interact and subtly shifted his gaze, saying, "You should go. Medical services abroad are more advanced, and it will help with Sophie's rehab. As for Devonport, don't worry. After Sophie's recent incident, Odie won't be able to set up any business here for a while. Since he's been stirring things up overseas, he's probably already left Devonport without making it public." "Thank you," Colby took Sophie's hand, and they left the study.

Sophie, not used to seeing Colby so serious, asked, "Is the situation overseas that bad?"

"It's manageable."

"If it were just manageable, you wouldn't look so worried."

Hearing this, Colby stopped walking, and Sophie asked, "What would happen if we lost those overseas ventures?"

"I've spent years building our presence overseas to open doors for us. My parents' deaths are tied to our overseas operations."

"Are you saying... my aunt and uncle's deaths, and indirectly my parents', weren't because of the Mintons?"

"No, it's definitely related to the Mintons, but it was the work of the previous generation. It's going to be tough to investigate." Sophie squeezed Colby's hand tighter. "Then we should head overseas immediately."

"Alright."
