"Don''t bother telling them all this; they still fancy themselves the saviors of the world, thinking they''ve made some grand contribution to saving it. Honestly, these kids are just adorably naive."
Sophie chimed in, "I''ll give you ten minutes to process everything I''ve justid out. If you don''t start talking by then, I''ll assume your brain''s a lost cause. And if that''s the case, I''ll have to hand you over to this gentleman here. Trust me, he won''t be as patient or persuasive as I am. When your own flesh and blood is on the line, you''ll see whether your so-called savior turns up."
Sophie''s re and tone already gave Spencer the verdict.
The verdict was clear: they wouldn''t.
The world is brimming with people in misery; a savior won''t spare you a nce.
Choking back tears, Spencer began slowly, "About six months back... my family went under, my dad got sick, and all those rtives and friends who used to be close to us disappeared. I was left with no choice but to work at a nightclub to make ends meet." Sophie asked, "So you were overseas then?"
"Yeah, my family, the Starks, were overseas. We weren''t celebrities or anything, but we were pretty well-off entrepreneurs. My dad even sent me to the best schools abroad. Then out of nowhere, he tells me we''re bankrupt."
Spencer''s face twisted with bitterness at this point.
In the prime of his life, fate hit him hard.
Spencer continued, "Later, my dad passed away, and we were left with nothing. Even our house had to be auctioned to pay off debts. I couldn''t even afford a coffin. In those dire and helpless times, Ms. Leticia stepped in. She covered my dad''s burial costs and got me into Summerfield High. Ms. Leticia told me The Silent Shadows save people from suffering to build a world
without pain."
Jenna, listening, found it all too fantastical. She asked, "You really bought that? Just for that, you went all in for The Silent Shadows?"
"Ms. Leticia said The Silent Shadows
were always into drug research. My dad had invested in them to create a medicine that would shield people from sickness. To support this cause, I started the Sunshine Club. Loads of students at school believed in The Silent Shadows, thinking they were some kind of world-saving church. This time... going after Ms. Sophie was because Ms. Leticia said drug development needed a special ingredient, and that ingredient... was with Ms. Sophie."
As Spencerid it all out, Sophie was piecing the puzzle together.
Colby, standing nearby,mented casually, "The Stark family overseas has always been among the top three Western pharmaceutical manufacturers. Their sudden bankruptcy six months ago was because a batch of drugs had trace elements way over the limit, making them harmful. Overnight, the factory shut down, and all the drugs were snapped up by some unknown group. The Stark family has been in the medical field for three generations without anything like this happening. This disaster might have been intentional."
Spencer was taken aback by this revtion.All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
Jenna added, "Kena is from Summerfield, and just as your family faced this turmoil, she happened to be abroad. Doesn''t that strike you as odd?" "Using your family''s money to cover your dad''s funeral expenses, Kena''s got her calctions down to a science. I''m honestly impressed."
