Adler''sment was like a spark in a dry forest, setting Spencer''s anger aze.


    Spencer, clearly riled up, tried to get to his feet. "No way! This has nothing to do with Ms. Leticia! The Silent Shadows would never destroy my family!" He was struggling to ept the harsh truth staring him in the face.


    "Colby, you handle this," Sophie sighed, her voice hoarse from trying to get through to Spencer. She was worn out, her patience as thin as tissue paper.


    Colby took a deep breath and said, "Over the years, plenty of businesses that refused to join The Silent Shadows have been wiped out. Why do you think none of the Stark family''s connections areing to your rescue? I remember, the Starks had a solid rep overseas, helped a lot of folks. Plus... your family just went bankrupt, and then Mr. Stark suddenly ''falls ill'' and dies? Can''t you put two and two together?"


    Spencer''s mind raced with memories, fragments of the past shing by.


    His dad''s death, and Kena being there at the hospital.


    The first time he met Kena, she was in a white dress, looking as pure and angelic as if she''d stepped right out of a dream.


    She was the only one who offered him a lifeline when he was drowning.


    How could he ever think she was the one who killed his father?


    Spencer was at a loss for words, feeling like he had a boulder lodged in his throat.


    If this was true, then for the past six months, he''d been working for the very person who might have killed his dad.


    Even plotting murder to get revenge for him.


    Sophie chimed in, "You should be thankful today''s n got unraveled. If you''d pulled it off, you''d be in the same boat as your father, and Robert here would be dragged down with you." Robert stood there,pletely lost for words.


    The revtions in Sophie''s words were eye-opening.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    He realized there was a whole dark side of the world he''d been blind to.


    Sophie had a point; they''d been naive, just kids thinking they had everything figured out, when really, their grand ns were just child''s y to these seasoned adults, all falling apart in no time.


    "Ms. Sophie, I know we messed up. But please, for Spencer''s sake, forgive us!"


    Robert was practically drowning in his own tears and snot.


    Sophie never intended toe down hard on them.


    She just wanted them to get a grip on the difference between right and wrong, not wanting to see more young people go astray. "Ms. Sophie, I want revenge, I..."


    Sophie cut him off, knowing exactly


    what wasing. "With what you''ve got, revenge is just a pipe dream. Even if you confronted Kena with gun, you''d just be digging your own grave My advice? Get back to living your life and drop this whole revenge thing. I don''t know what they taught you in high school, but you should know that ''fighting a losing battle'' is not the way."


    With that, Sophie was done with the conversation, "Colby, get them packed in a shipping container and fly them over to Devonport. I doubt The Silent Shadows would bother going after a couple of high school kids."


    "Alright," Colby agreed without a second thought, but Robert piped up, "Wait! I don''t want to go!"
