Lightning flashed and thunder rolled outside the fifth-floor room. It was quite stbefore James stumbled
in, drenched in blood.
Joseph, staring at the portrait on the wall, asked casually, "Where is she? Did she spill the beans?"
James didn't say a word, prompting Joseph to turn around. James was a mess, blood everywhere. He tossed a
blood-stained knife at Joseph's feet, his voice icy. "She's dead."
The news of Sophie's death hit Joseph like a ton of bricks. "Dead?" he echoed, his face shifting with disbelief. He
lunged at James, clutching his collar. "I told you to get information, not kill her! Did you get the address? Talk!"
James knew perfectly well what Joseph really wanted the address. All those promises about making things right

Joseph smirked at James's shrewdness. "You really are my son, aren't you? Sblood, stricks."
Taking a seat, Joseph added, "Since we have the address, nothing else matters. If you want to see it, I'll take
you."
"Alright," James agreed, his tone flat. "After Grandma's funeral, I'll show you."
"James, this is about your mom," Joseph reminded him. "You're my son, so | trust you. | promise, once we find the

"Maybe," James muttered, turning to leave.
Just then, Joseph asked, "Where's Sophie's body?"
