In the dead of night, haunted by dreams, Sophie always felt an intense panic gripping her heart. When her eyes fluttered open, her forehead was already covered in cold sweat.
"Still troubled by the whole Reece affair?"
Colby's voice came from beside her, bringing a wave of reassurance.
It was then that Sophie felt a sense of peace.
She instinctively snuggled into Colby's embrace. For the past two months, they had been facing their challenges alone.
It had been a long time since she had nestled so closely in Colby's arms.
"It's my fault," Sophie murmured. "If I hadn't trusted Reece so blindly, the Pollard family would never have been thrown into such chaos, and Caelum wouldn't be in the hospital."
"This isn't your fault."
Colby gently patted Sophie's back, comforting her. "Even without your trust, The Silent Shadows would have found a way to infiltrate the Pollard family. That was their goal all along."
"But I just can't understand why Reece would be a member of The Silent Shadows."
She had pondered this all night long.
From the first time she met Reece, the two of them had worked tirelessly for S Corporation for two years.
S Corporation's success today couldn't have been achieved without Reece.
Yet Reece was the one who betrayed her the deepest.
"Maybe he was never truly on your side from the start. The Silent Shadows have their people everywhere. But didn't you conduct a background check on him when you first teamed up?"
"I…"
Sophie found herself at a loss for words.
