Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1171

In the heart of Devonport, nestled within the sprawling Costello estate...

Bang!

Colby stormed through the study doors, startling Lennon into an irate glare. "Boy! Are you trying to give your old man’s old man a heart attack?!"

Sophie elbowed Colby, who had startled her as well. Just then, Jenna darted over to Lennon, trying to sweet-talk him. "Grandpa! It's been ages since I last visited!"

"Don't give me that; you never come by unless you want something!"

Lennon eyed the four young intruders. "What brings you rascals here this time?"

Colby laid three gemstones on the table in front of him.

"Trying to bribe me? Or do you need an appraisal?"

At first, Lennon barely glanced at the stones. But when he noticed Colby's serious expression, he adjusted his reading glasses for a closer look. The moment he did, his face paled.

He picked up one of the rings, examining it closely. "Where did you get this?"

"It's a long story. One was bought at an auction by Colby, another was swindled from old Mrs. Burke, and the last was a wedding gift from the Aldridge family," Jenna explained.

Lennon frowned. "From the Burke family? How on earth did they get one of these?"

Sophie shook her head. "No idea, but it must’ve been one of Bea's prized jewels."

Lennon explained, "This ring, back in the day, belonged to the Russell, Costello, Tredgold, and Aldridge families. They symbolized the alliances between our families. These were royal jewels, crafted by a renowned artisan from a single exquisite gemstone. Only four exist in the entire world."
