Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1288

"Are you doubting me?"

"It's not about doubting, Mr. Wesley. It's just that you're the only one who knows the secrets of the Four Great Families. We're at our wit's end here, so we came to ask you... You wouldn't keep us in the dark, would you?"

Wesley could tell Sophie and Colby weren't planning to leave without some answers. Sighing deeply, he said, "Alright, have a seat."

Sophie and Colby exchanged a quick glance before sitting opposite Wesley.

Wesley motioned for someone to pour tea for them and said, "The reason the Tredgold family has been safe all these years is because we stay out of the Four Great Families' affairs. My advice? Don't get tangled up with the Four Great Families or build them up too much in your mind. They were just four passionate young men a hundred years ago who made a name for themselves with their enthusiasm. Devonport holds no treasure, so you can stop your search."

"If the Four Great Families really had no secrets and Devonport had no treasure, then the person behind all this wouldn’t have spent years plotting, causing so many deaths, and setting such an elaborate trap," Sophie countered.

"Mr. Wesley, we're not naive. The secrets of the Four Great Families and Devonport matter a lot to us."

With that, Sophie pulled out a gemstone. "Does this look familiar to you, Mr. Wesley?"

Wesley's eyebrows furrowed slightly at the sight of the blue gemstone.

Sophie had originally had three.

One from Bea.

Another from Colby.

And the last from Harold.

According to Sophie’s theory, the Four Great Families should each have one gemstone.

Her voice was soothing. Sophie looked up to see a woman in her fifties, who smiled politely at her.

Unlike other women of her status, May was dressed in simple home clothes and wore no fancy jewelry.

Sophie smiled slightly. "Hello, ma'am, I'm Sophie, and this is—"

"Is this Lianne?"

Hearing this, Sophie was taken aback.

Gordon?

May smiled and sat down next to Sophie, gently patting her hand. "You've grown so much! I held you when you were just born! I can't believe you're already married. Since you're here, why don’t you stay the night? Let Lianne stay over too!"
