"Uriah Knight, what are you pretending to be ignorant about? I told you that day, your sister risked her life to save your painting from the hands of the criminals. How come you act like you're hearing about this for the first time?"
Uriah's face suddenly lost color, and his voice trembled uncontrollably.
"What do you mean by risking her life...?"
Ryle looked at him and sighed.
"It means she's dead. Your sister died that night. When we arrived, she had already stopped breathing."
Uriah widened his eyes.
Iris was still alive and well, so the sister mentioned by Ryle can only be someone else.
Uriah struggled and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His eyes were wandering, as if he couldn't quite accept this fact.
He struggled and finally asked the most crucial question.
"Mr. Young, when you mentioned my sister, are you referring to Uma Vargas?"
