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.
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 or competing, 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 a common sight.
She wouldn't accept 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 impeccably impassive, causing Kena's smile to gradually fade.
"Are you done?"
Reece casually lifted his glass of red wine, finishing it in one gulp, and raised an eyebrow, "I'm looking forward to it as well."
"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 physical 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.
