"Where''s


    Colby?"


    Kiran''s eyes took on a steely edge.


    His subordinate, keeping his gaze fixed on the floor, replied, "Mr. Angelo, we''ve had eyes on him. Colby''s been in Devonport the whole time; there''s no way he''s overseas." "Then who''s handling things overseas? Ghosts?"


    "It''s... the Costello Group."


    The subordinate hesitated before delivering the news.


    "Costello Group?"


    Kiran''s lips curled into a sinister smile.


    For years, the Costello Group had only ever taken orders from Colby. No one else couldmand even a single soldier from them.


    But now, with Colby down and out in Devonport, the Costello Group had sprung into action overseas.


    Interesting.


    Kiran''s dark expression grew even more chilling.


    "Mr. Angelo, with such a big situation unfolding, shouldn''t we head back overseas?"


    "Sandy''s still missing. I''m not leaving until we find her."


    "But..."


    "No buts."


    Kiran''s voice turned icy. "Find out who''s calling the shots overseas right away. Everyone else, stay put in Summerfield and keep searching for Sandy." "Yes, Mr. Angelo."


    The subordinate quickly moved to execute the orders, not daring to waste a second.


    Kiran was standing in Summerfield''srgest casino. His team had torn the ce apart, but still came up empty.


    "Where could they have taken Sandy..."


    In any other ce, Kiran wouldn''t be this on edge.


    But this was Summerfield, and its chaos ran deep.


    ck markets, casinos, human trafficking-every dark trade found a foothold here.


    For years, many had tried to clean up Summerfield, but all had failed.


    With Sandy missing here, anything was possible.


    The thought made Kiran''s expression turn even frostier.


    If anyone in Summerfield dared to harm his sister, he wouldn''t hesitate to unleash hell on the city.N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Meanwhile, over at the Gibbs household.


    Kena personally brought a bowl of milk-poached pears to Sandy''s room.


    Sandy stayed on high alert the entire time she was at the Gibbs household.


    Especially when Kena came around, Sandy sat up straight, her eyes betraying an unexinable wariness. Kena approached, setting the dessert in front of Sandy, and said, "I know Ms. Sandy doesn''t quite like me." Her words only made Sandy more tense.


    Kena continued, "After all, Ms. Sandy was engaged to Mr. Odie before. Ms. Sandy doesn''t like Mr. Odie, sod figured she wouldn''t like me either."


    FOUMS


    "You''re you, and Odie''s Odie. Why would my dislike for him mean I dislike you too?"


    "Well, I used to work as a maid for the Pord family, and my sister Leticia was engaged to Mr. Odie too. I thought maybe that''s why Ms. Sandy doesn''t like me."


    Kena gently shook her head, offering a usible exnation.


    Even so, Sandy kept her guard up around Kena.


    "I don''t dislike you," Sandy replied. "And I don''t dislike Odie anymore, either."


    Hearing this, Kena''s face lit up with a soft smile, saying, "As long as I


    Sandy doesn''t hate me, that Mset


    matters."
