Chapter 1357
As soon as James stepped out of the room, Sophie finally exhaled the breath she'd been holding. She leaned
back against the bed, feeling a bit lost about what lay ahead. Joseph's arrival had definitely filled in sgaps
for her. First off, Joseph had been reincarnated. Second, the Devonport treasure was somehow tied to
reincarnation. Third, Joseph was the one who had killed her and Colby's parents, and even Gordon and Harold's
parents weren't safe from his deadly reach. And fourth...
As she pondered the fourth revelation, a splitting headache threatened to overtake her. Joseph believed she
knew the location of the Devonport treasure, but the truth was, she didn't have a clue. Had she forgotten
something crucial? Meanwhile, over at Burke Estate, Gordon was at the window, his mind wandering back to
years ago when a young Sophie had dashed over and clung to his legs.
"Brother, what are they all doing?" she'd asked.
"They're protecting the city," he replied.

Gordon snapped back to the present as the door swung open. Colby stood there, his gaze icy as he looked at

your tone."

"Mr. Colby, this has nothing to do with our Sir! He didn't even "
"Everything can be a pawn. She won't die; she'll just face shardship... Besides, with Kiran showing up, all
our enemies are out in the open. Isn't that a good thing?"
Colby's expression turned even
colder at Gordon's words. "Colby is
it that she can't handle the hardship,
or is it that you can't bear
onee her
suffer?"
"| can't stand to see her suffer, and | certainly can't bear... anyone sending her to suffer."
Colby's voice was like ice. "If you're sending her to the abyss, then I'll go and bring her back."
With that, Colby turned and left Gordon's study. Gordon's eyes darkened.
Rick, still by his side, asked, "Sir, why didn't you tell Mr. Colby you had no idea about this? Kiran was just a fluke-
"It's fine," Gordon said, turning away. "A bit of suffering now is better than losing her life later. You can go."
"Yes, Sir."
Once Rick had gone, Gordon gazed
