Sandy felt a chill run down her spine at the look on Kiran''s face.


    But Kiran just flicked her forehead lightly, his voice carrying a serious warning, "Listen up, The Silent Shadows is none of your business. Wipe those words from your mind. You''re not to mention them again!" "But... but big brother, do you have anything to do with it or not?"


    Sandy started to throw a bit of a fit, clinging to Kiran''s sleeve. "If you don''t tell me, I won''t be able to sleep! And if I can''t sleep, I''ll bug you every single day until you spill it!"


    "Such a silly girl."


    Kiran sighed, letting her tug him along towards the mansion. He remarked casually, "The Silent Shadows is just a stepping stone for me. With it, the Pord family won''t have a care in the world for years, and the old worries will finally..."


    His voice faded, leaving Sandy puzzled. "What are you saying, brother? Our family''s loaded, we''re a big deal overseas. Who''d dare disrespect the Pord family? Why talk like that?"


    Kiran nced at Sandy, replying with a hint of exasperation, "Alright, my little princess, you''ve asked enough for tonight. I''ve got a hot bath ready for you. Go have a soak and get some shut-eye. While you''re here, feel free to have fun, but one thing-stay away from Sophie and her crowd."


    ""Brother!"


    "That''s as much as I can allow."


    Ignoring Sandy''s protests, a servant soon approached, saying, "Ms. Sandy, your bath is ready."


    Seeing Kiran wasn''t budging, Sandy stuck her tongue out at him. "I''ll ask you again when I''m all clear-headed tomorrow! No way you''ll keep mum!"


    Kiran raised an eyebrow, tapping his chest in mock fear, "Oh, I''m so scared of your little interrogations. Not a chance you''ll get anything out of me." "Brother!"


    "Upstairs."


    Kiran was done ying along. Realizing he was serious,


    stomped her foot in frust and

    Nope, this won''t do!Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    She needed to find a way to reach Sophie and let her know where she was. That''s the only way to stop her brother from doing something reckless with that darn The Silent Shadows.

    Meanwhile, over at the White family estate overseas-


    Sophie saw Sandy''s calle in. It was the first time in over a month that Sandy had reached out.


    She barely nced at it before hanging up.


    "Why didn''t you pick up?"


    Colby set some medicine down in front of Sophie, who shook her head. "I can''t."


    "Afraid it''ll make things tough for her?"


    "Yep."


    Sophie exined, "Sandy''s Kiran''s sister; he''ll look out for her. By calling me, it''s like she''s betraying him. To keep her from a tough spotter, it''s better she stays on Kiran''s side now. If he finds out she''s been in touch with us, she''ll be in deeper trouble."


    Colby added, "We didn''t need her intel anyway. We''ve tracked down where Kiran is."


    "Already? That fast?"


    Sophie was surprised. She hadn''t expected Kiran to leave his tracks so openly after leaving the Pord family.
