Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1280

Kevin spoke in a measured tone, "There’s a rumor going around that the four great families hold the secret to the Devonport treasure, and this secret has always been guarded by the head of the Aldridge family."

Angelo asked, "So does that mean only Gordon knows the secret of the Devonport treasure?"

Kevin shook his head, "This generation is an exception. Years ago, a kidnapping incident took the lives of Yun Lian's parents, and with them, the secret of Devonport was lost. As for whether Yun Lian knows... you should ask him. But I think he probably doesn’t, given how suddenly it all happened. His father likely didn’t have the chance to tell him where the treasure is located."

"Miss Shen, do you have the Aldridge family's heirloom gemstone with you?"

When Christian asked, Sophie immediately thought of the blue gemstone Harold had given her. She replied, "Yes, I have it. If you want it back..."

Christian waved his hand with a smile, "No, no, no, it was given to you, so it’s yours now. Just make sure you take good care of it and never lose it."

Sophie nodded, "I will take good care of it, sir."

Kevin added, "Also, our visit to Devonport is now public knowledge. We’ve reclaimed the Aldridge family’s private seal. The next time you use it, unless it’s a matter of life and death, don't show it lightly."

"I understand."

The last time had been a desperate situation, and she knew the seal must not be misused.

"Exactly!" Jenna said. "The Aldridge family has been revered for years because they don’t show off but still manage to command respect. It’s like the deep sea—unfathomably deep, naturally commanding respect. But if you’re like a shallow pond, clear at a glance, would anyone fear you?"

"Slow down! If you explain it slowly, I’ll understand!"

Angelo was anxious; he wasn’t used to such intricate thoughts.

"We're back! We're back! We've returned!"

Outside the Burke Estate, Adler hurried in, anxious. He ran straight to Jenna and asked, "Has something big happened at home? Is Mr. Gordon alright?"
