Chapter 964
Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Sophie and Chief Miller stood outside the police station, waiting together. Sophie had her arms crossed, feeling pretty annoyed.
"Just a chat, huh? Why did they have to kick everyone out of the station for that?"
She was not happy. These two men were definitely hiding something from her.
A moment later, Colby walked out, with Odie right behind him. Odie shook his handcuffed wrists and said, âUnlock these.â
Colby looked at Chief Miller and said, âGo ahead, unlock them.â
âColby... the key...â Chief Miller said, looking uncomfortable.
âWe donât have the key!â
âOh, I have it right here.â Sophie pulled out the key, handed it to Chief Miller, and Odie was promptly set free.
Odie shook his wrists and walked off without another word.
Sophie pointed at Odie and asked, âHeâs just leaving like that?â
âLet him go,â Colby replied, pulling Sophie into the car.
On the drive, Sophie kept glancing at Colby, who was behind the wheel. âWhat did you two talk about?â
âJust some... guy stuff,â Colby said, making a zip-your-lip gesture.
âSeriously, Colby? Now youâre keeping secrets from me?â Sophie pouted, clearly upset. Colby chuckled and said, âOdie isnât the mastermind behind all this. I already knew that. He doesnât have the brains for something this big. At the station, he shared some of the Mintonsâ secrets with me.â
âWhat secrets?â Sophieâs curiosity was immediately piqued.
Colby freed one hand to tap Sophieâs forehead. âNot here in the car.â
Sophie quickly understood what he meant. Cars were easy to bug. Theyâd talk back at Burke Manor.
Inside Burke Manor, the study was packed. Adler and Jenna were cracking nuts and craning their necks. Jenna said, âI knew youâd come back, so neither of us slept!â

ï¤Chapter 782 âWhy drag me into this if itâs just your business?â Gordon rubbed his temples, looking exhausted. Being the head of the Aldridge family meant he barely got any sleep as it was, and now this chaos. He really shouldnât have let them stay at Burke Manor.
Colby said, âOdie told me the Mintonsâ secrets. He came to Devonport to find the real mastermind.â
Adler, visibly annoyed, said, âCan you be more specific? What secrets exactly?â
Jenna dropped her nuts, adding, âYeah! Youâre really leaving us hanging here.â
Colby calmly said, âThe Mintons invested in a gambling company, known as âKâ.â
The air instantly froze when Colby said that. Sophie looked to her left and saw Gordon frowning deeply. To her right, Adler and Jenna had simultaneously covered their ears.
âActually, I just remembered, I need my beauty sleep,â Jenna said, standing up and rushing towards the door.
Adler also got up, saying, âI just remembered, I havenât done my face mask yet. Letâs talk about this some other time.â
Just as Jenna and Adler tried to sneak out, Colby shut the door. They sulkily returned to their seats but still covered their ears.
