"I wouldn't know about that," the maid said with a sense of regret, "All I know is that the kidnapping was a huge scandal at the time. The Aldridge family was originally our lady's maternal family. When our lady found out about the Aldridge family's troubles, she was devastated."
The maid continued with a sigh, "It was a shame, really. The once united Aldridge family became fragmented. Our lady loved Mr. Gordon the most. When she heard that Mr. Gordon was in trouble, she couldn't bear the blow and fell ill immediately."
"I don't seem to recall seeing any news about that kidnapping case back then. Considering even you know about it, was it a famous case?"
"Of course!"
"The Aldridge family was a prestigious household. When such a calamity struck, all the major media outlets competed to cover the story. Even though I was quite young at that time, I still saw those news reports. They said the kidnappers had taken the Aldridge family's younger son and threatened to harm him if they weren't paid."
At this point, the maid paused, "That's odd, Ms. Sophie. How could you not know about it? Weren't you kidnapped alongside the Aldridge family's younger son back then?"
"What do you mean, kidnapped together?"
Sophie was stunned.
Outside, Colby had walked up. Upon seeing Colby, the maid quickly stepped aside, "Colby."
"Colby, what brings you up here?"
"It's about time we head back."
Sophie was still pondering over what the maid had mentioned earlier.
However, their main reason for coming here was to find Jenna. Sophie didn’t have the time to dwell on the past events right now.
Hand in hand, Colby and Sophie descended the staircase, with Harold waiting for them in the lobby.
"Let's go, I'll drive," Harold said.
"Okay."
"Colby, I just heard the maid talking about the kidnapping," Sophie whispered, recalling how Colby had mentioned not finding any newspapers from that time.
