NovelEnglishChapter 1595
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 cfrom 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 tsince she had nestled so closely in Colby's arms.
"It's my fault," Sophie murmured. "If | 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 | just can't understand why Reece
would be a member of The Silent Shadows."

She had pondered this all night long.
From the first tshe 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.
Her previous life's achievements by Reece had caught her attention.
It was also because she was short-staffed at the tthat she had approached him.
Back then, she thought she knew Reece well enough.
Reece had a grandmother to take care of and was being sidelined by Russell Entertainment, seemingly a down-
on-his-luck fresh graduate in desperate need of a break.
In her previous life, Reece had been
held back by Russell Enterprises due to his reticent nature, almost in a state of being shelved. Later, when,
Reece was poached by another group and beca sensation, was then that his grandmother passed away. On
a show, Reece had tearfully mentioned how, when he had no money, he couldn't afford to give his grandmother
a single day of happiness. And when he finally made it, she was no longer there.
Sophie had always blamed Russell Entertainment for this, so after being reborn, she wanted to compensate
Reece and at the stmake him her ally. During that time, they supported and complemented each other,
arguably the best of partners.
Even before Reece's identity was revealed, she still believed this.
She had never considered the possibility that Reece could be a part of The Silent Shadows, nor did she ever think
to conduct a thorough background check on him.
Colby said in a low voice, "I know

you trusted him and never thought to guard against him, but Sophie, the human heart is unpredictable, and
that's a lesson we'll have to learn for the rest of our lives."
"Colby, I'm so tired of all these machinations and power struggles. The Silent Shadows are so powerful-can we
really make it through?"
"Afraid? The Sophie | know would never bow down to anyone."
"Maybe in the past... but now... | don't want to lose you, nor anyone else in our circle."
Sophie spoke slowly, "Colby, will the days we once dreamed of ever come?"
She had said that once they settled everything, they would no longer concern themselves with business matters
and would retreat to a quiet life,
Ving peacefully and tranquilly every day.
But such a life seemed to be getting further and further away from them. Colby kissed Sophie's forehead,
offering his promise: "They will, definitely." After all the hardships and trials, they had finally made it to this point.
