The photo showed a piece of clothing Joseph had worn before, paired with a white mask and a black cloak. The mask looked like a face twisted in agony, with deep-set eyes that gave you an uneasy feeling just looking at it.
“I wanted to ask if, while you were abroad these past few months, you ever ran into someone dressed like this? You'd usually see them at special dinners or balls. There are plenty of those overseas, mostly attended by the wealthy. You must have been to quite a few business parties. Have you seen anything like it?”
Reece took the phone and glanced at the photo. After a bit, he said, “There are definitely lots of masquerade balls overseas, and it’s not rare to see people dressed like that. This mask seems more like something out of an international opera. Give me some time, and I’ll dig into it.”
“No rush. The Devonport treasure is gone, and I doubt whoever's behind this will show their hand anytime soon. Just keep your eyes open, and if you spot anything, steer clear. It could get tricky if you’re caught.”
Sophie still remembered the chilling atmosphere when Vanessa had trapped her and Sandy at that dinner, the countless eyes watching them like sins sinking into a mire.
“I’m not that reckless. Even if I need to pass info to you, I’ll make sure to keep myself safe first.”
“Glad to hear it.”
Sophie didn’t press further. “Let’s head back.”
As Sophie turned away, Reece suddenly called out, “Sophie.”
“What’s up?”
“It might not be my place, but don’t you think…”
“Think what?”

why do you keep delaying updates:(...
please post new chapters.. why are they delayed...
Awaiting new chapters plzzz...
when will new chapters release??...
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....
Excellent novel!...
When will you upload the next chapter...
