"Father, did you already have proof? Matthew asked, his expression tense

Gabriel replied coolly. "I do not have hard evidence. But Sophie did something before she disappeared".

"What was it?" Matthew and Anthony asked, puzzled.

Gabriel closed his eyes for a moment, then said, "She sent a maid to bring Isabelle to the estate"

Back then. Sophie had assumed no one would find out. But Annie, the maid she sent, was actually someone Gabriel had arranged to keep an eye on her. Naturally, he knew exactly what Sophie had done.

"Isabelle?" The name had not been mentioned in so long that even Benedict and the others were momentarily caught off guard.

Matthew was the first to remember. His brows furrowed as he asked, "You mean the girl who pushed Eliza into the water?"

Gabriel nodded. "That's the one."

Benedict's face changed at once. His eyes lit up with rage. "What was Sophie thinking? Why would she bring Isabelle here?"

Back then, Isabelle had nearly killed Eliza. If someone had not found her in time, she might have drowned.
