Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 1270

"Um..." Angelo cut in, "Ricardo’s just a minor player, isn't he from Duskhaven? How could he possibly know anything about what’s going on in Devonport?"

"I have no idea," Sophie replied. "But right now, he's our only lead. Let's just hope he doesn't kick the bucket on us, or else... we'll be completely in the dark."

Hearing this, Angelo felt a pang of guilt. James had initially sent Ricardo to stay with the Pollard family, and then he had hidden himself overseas. If Sophie and the rest found out that Ricardo was abroad and could trace it back to him...

Wouldn't that expose James?

But if they didn’t hand over Ricardo, they’d lose their only lead!

Back to square one.

As Angelo tried to figure out how to quietly send Ricardo overseas without blowing his cover, he suddenly realized everyone was staring at him.

Looking up, Angelo saw everyone giving him strange looks.

"Mr. Angelo... the person... could he be with you?" Sophie asked, her tone sharp.

What?!

Angelo's eyes widened in shock. How did they guess that?! Were they mind readers?

Everyone stood with arms crossed, waiting for an explanation.

Thinking on his feet, Angelo stammered, "Well... I just thought, you know, he might come in handy! So, I hid him away. I never imagined he’d be so crucial today!"

Jenna chimed in, "If it's such good news, why didn’t you just tell us right away? What were you spacing out for?"
