Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1464

They were stepping into a dream when the gemstone was real. Kiran woke up earlier than the others, and after snagging the gemstone, he must've found a moment to stash it away or handed it off to someone else. It was all planned out.

"If that's the case, then Ms. Sophie and the others are in real trouble," Rick realized, piecing together that one of them must be part of The Silent Shadows. With them hoarding all these rare gems, there was definitely some shady business going on.

"Let me think... really think about this," Gordon said, his hand instinctively pressing against his forehead. Noticing Gordon's discomfort, Rick jumped in, "Is it your head again? William said you shouldn't be stressing yourself out now! I'll grab your medicine."

"Come back!" Gordon frowned, "I’m not taking the meds right now."

"But you have to! The doctor said you're overthinking things, and now that you're abroad, away from all that chaos, and with Mr. Colby looking out for Ms. Sophie, you can finally relax!"

That was Gordon's plan too. With him gone, Colby could handle Devonport, and Sophie could stand on her own. The Aldridge family backing Sophie meant she should be safe.

But The Silent Shadows were more of a handful than he'd thought, their influence was like a tangled web. One wrong move could unravel everything they'd worked for.

"Just leave me be, I'll rest soon," Gordon said. Rick hesitated, "Sir, the doctor warned if you keep this up, there might be no turning back."
