The bodyguard hesitated for a moment, but the thought of just going shopping made it impossible for him to refuse Kiran. The bodyguard could only reply, "Of course, Mr. Angelo, but there is a meeting this afternoon. How long do you n to shop?" "One hour."


    Kiran''s words quickly made Sandy realize that the Pord family had fallen under the control of The Silent Shadows.


    Otherwise, how could a mere bodyguard dare to inquire about her brother''s private time?


    "My brother will spend as much time with me as he wants, who are you to interfere?"


    Sandy deliberately snapped at the bodyguard driving the car.


    Even if the bodyguard felt aggrieved, he could only bear it silently: "My apologies, Miss. I hope you can forgive my error."


    Sandy clung to Kiran''s arm inside the car, her heart pounding excitedly.


    She had always considered herself the little princess of the Pord family, believing her father and brother were the most powerful figures abroad.


    She never imagined that one day the Pord family would fall into the hands of strangers and that they would need to tread carefully in front of a few bodyguards.


    Soon, the car stopped next to a shopping mall.


    Sandy and Kiran got out of the car one after the other.


    When the two bodyguards attempted to follow them, Sandy discontentedly said, "My brother is apanying me shopping! What are you doing here?"


    "Our duty is to ensure Miss and Mr. Angelo''s safety."


    Just as Sandy was about to retort, Kiran slowly said, "Let them carry things for you; it will be more convenient."


    But...


    But if these two followed them, how could they talk privately?


    Sandy was eager to know what had happened to her family, but seeing her brother had already spoken, she had no choice but to remain silent.


    The situation abroad was severe, Sandy noticed a lot of new faces in their family''s shopping mall.


    In the past whenever Sandy visited, there were always managers and staff greeting and serving her, but this time, all faces were unfamiliar, their gazes cold and surveilling.

    This made Sandy quite ufortable and increasingly uneasy.


    Could it be... that the situation had be this dire?


    "Sandy, I''ll buy you some clothes and daily necessities. I''ve noticed you''ve taken a liking to different things since you''vee back."


    Kiran''s face still bore an indulgent smile, with the bodyguards not more than a meter behind them.


    Sandy didn''t know what her brother was nning, so she could only nod in agreement.


    Kiran took Sandy from the first to the fifth floor, buying a lot of things. Finally, he took Sandy for a meal.


    The bodyguards at the door never left.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.


    However, separated by the restaurant''s door, Sandy still questioned Kiran with her eyes, asking what had happened.


    "Sandy, thepany has a lot of


    things to deal with recently, and b can''t give you much attention. Haven''t you always wanted to visit Sophie and the others? How about I let you go see her?"


    Kiran''s tone was gentle, speaking in a volume only the two of them could hear: "Someone will escort you to Devonport shortly. Once in Devonport, my people will take you to Aldridge Estate. Once you''re at Aldridge Estate, stay there,


    understand?"


    "Brother... why are you suddenly saying this? Has something happened?"


    Sandy suddenly clutched Kiran''s hand anxiously, saying, "Brother, I''m not going anywhere. I want to stay by your side!"
