Lightning flashed and thunder rolled outside the fifth-floor room. It was quite some time before James stumbled in, drenched in blood.
Joseph, staring at the portrait on the wall, asked casually, “Where is she? Did she spill the beans?”
James didn’t say a word, prompting Joseph to turn around. James was a mess, blood everywhere. He tossed a blood-stained knife at Joseph’s feet, his voice icy. “She’s dead.”
The news of Sophie’s death hit Joseph like a ton of bricks. “Dead?” he echoed, his face shifting with disbelief. He lunged at James, clutching his collar. “I told you to get information, not kill her! Did you get the address? Talk!”
James knew perfectly well what Joseph really wanted—the address. All those promises about making things right with Sophie were just Joseph’s way of pretending to care. Being his son, James saw right through him. It was all just a game to get what he wanted, even if it meant using his own flesh and blood.
“Did you kill Grandma?” James suddenly asked, breaking the tension.
Joseph calmed down, replying, “You already know, don’t you?”
“Dad, you’ve kept too many secrets from me. Even if I had the address, I need some leverage.”
“What do you want?”
“I want to see the treasure myself. There are things you haven’t told me. I can lead you there, but I’m not giving up the location beforehand.”

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
