Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 596

At that moment, Colby furrowed his brows and said, "Something's not right."

"What's not right?"

"This ring is so small. How could it have been dredged up?"

A ring falling into the water would sink to the bottom. A fisherman's net could never catch it. It seemed more like the ring was intentionally left behind.

"Where did the fisherman who found this ring come from? Bring him to me!"

"Right away, I'll have someone fetch him!"

Adler was slow to catch on but soon realized that Colby had a point.

How could such a small ring be caught in a fishing net? And besides, if a normal person found such an expensive ring, why would they go out of their way to return it to them?

Soon, Adler's men brought the fisherman before Colby.

Colby watched the fisherman shivering in front of him, placed the ring before him, and asked, "Who told you to hand this ring over to me?"

"I-I dredged it up myself."

The fisherman was too scared to meet Colby's gaze. Just the sight of the thugs around him was enough to scare him witless.

"Not talking? Fine."

Just as Colby was about to take action, Adler interrupted, "Colby! Talk nicely!"

Colby scowled, and Adler stepped up to the fisherman, pulling out a photo of Odie, asking, "Was it him who told you to bring the ring to us?"

A flicker of fear passed through the fisherman's eyes at this photo.

"You don't have to say anything. Just tell me, is the owner of this ring still alive?"

The fisherman glanced at Adler, then at Colby, and finally, with great difficulty, nodded.

Colby realized that Sophie was still alive, and joy flickered in his eyes.

Alive... Sophie was still alive!

That was the ring Colby had given her!

Sophie immediately opened the door, startling the maid. "Ms. Sophie, are you okay?"

"Where are my things?"

"Ms. Sophie, your clothes were all soaked through. Mr. Odie instructed us to throw them away."

"What about my ring?"

"Ring?"

The maid looked confused.

When Sophie realized that the maid knew nothing about the ring's whereabouts, a terrible thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Had Odie taken her ring to either threaten Colby or perhaps James?
