Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"Do you not want to know how Mr. Weldon met his untimely demise years ago?"

At those words, Booker whirled around. "What do you mean by that?"

"Weldon's death. They said it was a sudden heart attack, but as far as I know, he was killed by his own son, Ricardo."Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Booker scoffed at Sophie's absurd claims and said, "Ridiculous! Mr. Ricardo is Weldon's biological son. How could he possibly kill his own father!"

"You refuse to acknowledge it because you are fatherless, so you revered Weldon as if he was your own father. But now, the truth is right before us. Weldon was killed by Ricardo because Weldon wanted to acknowledge his illegitimate son. To protect his own status... Ricardo deliberately infuriated his father to death!"

Sophie's words weren't baseless rumors, but hints revealed in newspapers from the past.

Initially, due to Ricardo and Rowena's tragic love story, Ricardo's image as a devoted lover was highly popular. However, some tabloids dug into Ricardo's past, including the matter of his brother, the illegitimate son, which she had the chance to read. The report, written convincingly, revealed Ricardo ascended to power by killing his own father, including testimonies and physical evidence to support the claim.

But soon, that report vanished, and the publishing newspaper disappeared as well.

If nothing was wrong with that report, why would Ricardo go to great lengths to suppress it, even to the extent of paying to silence the newspaper?

Later, when she was dealing with Ricardo, she specifically investigated the truth of the matter and indeed found clues.

The day after Weldon's death, Ricardo fired a nanny who had been with the family for decades.

"Do you have any evidence for your claims?"

Booker hesitated, and Sophie laid

out a series of evidence mentioned in the newspaper. "There were

eyewitnesses on the day of Weldon's incident. If you don't believeme, you could ask the journalists at a newspaper called Conscience Press in Duskhaven. I believe they will present the

evidence to you soon."

She remembered the newspaper because of its name. If Booker had investigated personally, he would likely have uncovered the truth sooner.

"Fine, I'll look into it. But if the findings are different from what you've stated..."

"If the findings differ, I will personally apologize to Mr. Ricardo and you, Booker. I'll also deal with Julian. Does that satisfy you?"

Booker felt his resolve wavering.

Sophie said, "Booker, I wouldn't have

approached you without evidence.1

assume you also wouldn't want

Weldon's death to remain a mystery,

right?"

Hearing this, Booker clenched his fists. If that was the case, had he been aiding the evil man who killed his benefactor all these years?

"You two seem to have a lot to talk about."

Suddenly, Odie's voice came from behind.

Sophie turned around with a smile
