Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

"You'll have plenty of time to catch up with your dad in prison."

Sophie's face was a picture of calm.

She'd done her duty by this so-called brother-no blood ties-twenty years ago.

But now, she needed to know how Isaac had gotten his hands on the powder from The Silent Shadows.

"Does this ring a bell?"

She set the packet of powder down in front of Isaac.

"Haven't you guys figured it all out by now? What more do you want from me?" Isaac shot back, his voice icy. "Yeah, I developed it. So what? I just wanted to make a bit of cash to get by. You all took everything from me I had to survive somehow, didn't I?"

"Is it really that cut and dried?"

Sophie smirked and went on, "Where exactly did you get this stuff? Was it from The Silent Shadows' old digs, or somewhere else? If you don't spill, I've got ways to make you talk."

With that, Sophie switched off the surveillance camera in the room.

Colby strolled into the interrogation room from outside.

Even after all these years, the sight of this man still sent a shiver down Isaac's spine.

Colby stepped closer, and Isaac blurted out, "This is the police station! What you're doing is illegal! Aren't you worried I'll report you? This is abuse!"

"The cameras are off; no evidence, no case," Sophie replied, looking smug.noveldrama

Seeing Colby about to get physical, Isaac instinctively shielded his head and said, "Alright! I'll talk!"

accident. So... he told me to hit them up for cash and find a way to bust him out. But they blew me off and kicked me out. After that, I wandered around aimlessly."

At this point, Isaac shot Sophie a look filled with venom and said:

"My mom died, and my life went down the drain, so I wanted us all to crash and burn together. That day, I tailed you and saw you drive into the mountains. Then there was this earthquake-like thing, and I got knocked out. When I came to, found all sorts of stuff in the ruins. That's when I figured out it was The Sitent Shadows' powder. This stuff brings massive highs, and I spent twenty years researching it, making a tidy fortune. But in the end, I still couldn't beat you. It all comes down to... Sophie, you were just lucky! If I had a little more time, I would have..."

"Even if I gave you a hundred years, it wouldn't matter."

Sophie said coldly, "What you've done is enough to keep you behind bars for life.

Make peace with that."
