Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 1327

Seeing no old newspapers around, Sophie's heart sank like a stone. She could still vividly recall last night-how she had made her way up to the attic on the third floor, breaking the door open with a hammer. She had seen the familiar bed, the children's toys, and those old newspapers piled up like a mountain. Every scene was so clear, it hardly felt like a dream at all.

"Those old newspapers must've been bought up by someone. After the kidnapping incident that rocked the Aldridge family, they burned all those papers," Colby said. "With their influence, if they wanted something gone, it would disappear without a trace."

Seeing it for herself was the only way she'd feel at ease.
