Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James) novel Chapter 503

Officer Derick exchanged a look with the prison guard before Sophie made her way to the visitation room—a private cubicle where no outsider could overhear their conversation.

Colby followed Sophie inside.

Upon seeing Sophie, Perry's face lit up with hope, but the moment he saw Colby, that hope vanished instantly. Perry's facial muscles twitched as if he’s too scared to look at them.

Officer Derick personally arranged chairs for Colby and Sophie, saying, "Take your time. I'll be right outside if you need anything."

"Thank you, Chief," they responded.

With Officer Derick gone, Sophie turned to Perry with a smile. "Uncle Perry, it's only been a month. Have you forgotten me already?"

The sight of Sophie reminded Perry of her determined spirit. His days in prison had been unbearable. "I'm in prison, Sophie. What could possibly bring you to such a place to see me?"

"Obviously, it's something important." Sophie nonchalantly picked up the key that had been hidden in Perry's clothes. Perry's expression changed instantly upon seeing it.

Sophie raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Perry, does this look familiar?"

"This... I've never seen this before…"

Sophie continued, "Really? But it was found in your clothes, Uncle Perry. How could you not have seen it?"

"Sophie, I've raised you. What is this? An interrogation?"

'Bang—!'

Suddenly, Colby kicked the table in front of him, startling Perry. Colby said coldly, "Answer the question properly."

Perry took a deep breath. "Yes, the key is mine! It's just a regular key to the family's storage room, nothing valuable."

"Is this a key to the storage room or to the ancestral hall?"

Perry's complexion changed again.

Sophie stated, "Uncle Perry, I don’t want to beat around the bush. Did you steal this key from my father?"
