The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Therefore, John couldn’t pretend that nothing had happened. He had to keep on investigating the case, even though there hadn’t been much progress so far. Even if it was a difficult case without much clue, he had to get to the mastermind.

A few days ago, the car that the criminals used to kidnap Robin was found in the wilderness. Although the car had been badly damaged, it was the same vehicle they saw on the security footage.
