"Okay."
"Check if there's steak in the fridge."
"Okay."
Colby's voice was increasingly affectionate, and Sophie said, "Whoever is lucky enough to marry you must have be really lucky."
"Are you praising me, or are you praising yourself?"
"Of course, I'm praising myself."
Colby turned off the stove and placed the spaghetti in front of Sophie. "The steak was frozen, so I sent someone to buy fresh ones. They'll be delivered soon."
Looking at the spaghetti on the table, Sophie said, "Spill it! Coming clean is your best option. Resisting will only make things worse."
"After you finish eating."
"Why?"
Sophie had already taken a bite of her spaghetti when Colby seriously said, "I'm afraid once you know, you'll lose your appetite."
Hearing this, Sophie put down her fork and said, "Do I know the killer?"
Colby remained silent for a moment, and Sophie's heart ached. "Who is it?"
Colby said in a deep voice, "It's Perry."
The name Perry struck Sophie's heart like a dagger. She had suspected many people, but Perry had never crossed her mind.
"Why? When did you find out?"
"Today."
When she heard it was today, Sophie was stunned. "Does that mean Gordon only found out today as well?"
"We all found out the news today. Gordon knew just a bit before I did. Perry was your parents' killer, but there's still someone behind him pushing the buttons. We couldn't investigate the person's identity. In such a situation, when our enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light, I can only prepare for the worst."
"Why would Uncle Perry harm my dad? Because of his gambling debts?"
"The gambling debts had been there for a while. We suspect that those who made Perry incur the gambling debts were part of a large organization. They couldn't shake your father, so they could only start from Perry, who was inconsequential back then, using him to kill your father."
