Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 1556

Facing Sophie's inquiry, Caelum shared, "Sandy's mom was always frail, and her health took a nosedive after Sandy was born. She was in and out of hospitals, and I was constantly trying to figure out an escape from The Silent Shadows. They made it clear that leaving would cost me dearly, maybe all my status or my wealth. But what I never saw coming was that after everything I did for them, and all the money I handed over, they'd end up taking my wife's life." "Sandy's mom was killed by The Silent Shadows?" Sophie was taken aback, not expecting such a revelation.

Caelum's voice quivered with a mix of regret and anger. "One day, the hospital called out of the blue, saying Sandy's mom had a massive hemorrhage. I rushed there, only to face her cold body in the morgue." "You mean The Silent Shadows drained the entire blood supply at the hospital?" Sophie felt a shiver run down her spine.

The similarities were uncanny. In her previous life, she'd also experienced a severe hemorrhage during childbirth, only to find that all the blood in the bank had been redirected by Nichole.

Just moments ago, Sophie believed that someone had intentionally rerouted the blood to cause her death. Now, doubts crept in.

Even if Nichole had James wrapped around her finger in the past, diverting a whole blood bank's Type A supply wouldn't have been a walk in the park. Someone else had to be pulling strings behind the scenes.

While Sophie wrestled with her

thoughts, Caelum continued, "I held Sandy's mom in my arms, covered in blood, and swore The Silent Shadows would pay, blood for blood. But two decades later, I see

I'm no match for them. Their followers are everywhere, and they're not your average

Joe's-some have money, power, and influence; others have brains and talent. It makes The Silent Shadows untouchable. I'm getting on in years, and maybe I can still make them think twice, but once I'm gone, how will the Pollard family stand a chance without a leader? And now, even Kiran..."

Caelum's face was clouded with sorrow.

"Caelum, if I can ask, does Kiran know The Silent Shadows were behind his mom's death?"

"That kid's always been sharp, but I never wanted them tangled up in all this. The less they know about The Silent Shadows, the better. I didn't

want my kids involved, but Kira got his own ideas. I thought I raised him fight, that the Pollard family would be safe, but The Silent Shadows have got to him too, and now he won't even listen to me."

Caelum shook his head, resignation washing over him.

Sophie pondered deeply, "So, Kiran might know The Silent Shadows are the ones who killed his mom."

"I've led him astray, teaching him to

put self-interest first. Don't kid yourself thinking he joined The Silent Shadows to avenge his mom. My son doesn't have that kind of moral backbone."
