Kena descended the stairs, casting a cold smirk at Reece. "Even if you wanted to let them off the hook this time, you''ve lost your chance." Reece''s expression was indifferent as he replied, "Don''t make it sound like there''s a misunderstanding. I never intended to let them off easy." "How could I not know what you''re thinking? The thing I hate the most is your pretentious demeanor."


    Kena''s gaze turned icy.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Ever since they were children, everything of the best had been given to Reece.


    Even though they were both contenders for the inheritance, Reece had always been the favored one from the start.


    Even without striving orpeting, just by standing there, he would be the focus of attention, leaving no room for her in their guardian''s eyes. Each time she thought about this, Kena felt nothing but resentment.


    Even though she was a woman, she never considered herself inferior to Reece.


    Was it just because she was a woman?


    But in this society, women outperforming men was amon sight.


    She wouldn''t ept it.


    She believed only she could help their guardian achieve great things and that only she deserved to be the future leader of The Silent Shadows!


    Kena stepped in front of Reece and said, "Why don''t we make a guess about what kind of fate awaits Sophie and Colby after they enter the valley? I''m really looking forward... to seeing Sophie with a bullet through her chest. It would be quite the thrilling scene." As she spoke, Kena observed Reece''s expression closely.


    However, Reece''s face remained impably impassive, causing Kena''s smile to gradually fade.


    "Are you done?"


    Reece casually lifted his ss of red wine, finishing it in one gulp, and raised an eyebrow, "I''m looking forward to it as well."


    Seeing Reece seemingly uncaring about Sophie made Kena''s expression twist.


    They had trained together since childhood, growing up as close as siblings, understanding each other better than anyone else in the world.


    Kena couldn''t believe Reece would just watch Sophie die.


    Because Reece simply didn''t have the resolve to sacrifice everything for The Silent Shadows!


    They were fundamentally different!


    "Fine, then I''ll make you watch as Sophie dies right before your eyes!"


    Kena raged helplessly against Reece''s retreating figure, knowing her words were the only threat she could pose to Reece''s position within The Silent Shadows. Meanwhile, at the Devonport City Center Hospital.


    Adler awoke in his hospital bed, his


    eyes immediately searching for


    Harold who was sitting vigntly by his side. Adler suddenly remembered Jenna might still be in danger.

    Struggling to rise, Harold immediately rushed to restrain him, "The doctor said you''re not supposed to get out of bed yet."


    "Let me go, I need to find Jenna!"


    With a swift move, Adler pinned Harold down on the bed, rendering him powerless to retaliate.


    Harold was momentarily stunned.


    In his memory, Adler had always


    been the carefree one, never embodying the role of an elder brother, and was always the weakest in terms of physicab strength.


    But that move just now...


    Without asking further, Harold seriously said to Adler, "Sophie and Colby have already gone to the valley to rescue Jenna. With both of them on it, there shouldn''t be any trouble. Just stay calm..."


    "They went together? To the valley?"


    Adler responded, "How could you not wake me for something this important?"


    Immediately after, Adler removed the IV needle from his arm and headed straight for the door without another word.
