Chapter 1609
"Be cautious of deception."
Jonah blocked Sophie's path, maintaining a distance from Reece, who had started to pull away from them.
His instincts warned him that there would surely be a trap ahead.
Sophie glanced at the contract in Reece's hands, knowing she needed it, but also aware of the danger looming
ahead.
If Reece had indeed set a trap for her, their first course of action would be to get as far away as possible.
"Reece, after all, we were friends. The shares were a gift fromto you, and now that you've betrayed me,
shouldn't you return them to me?" Sophie's argument was sound.
Reece nodded, saying, "You're afraid I've set a trap here, aren't you?"
Sophie didn't respond, but her silence spoke volumes.

Reece found her reasoning solid and shook his head slightly, adding, "It's sad to realize we don't even have this
basic trust between us anymore."
"Don't try to play the sympathy card here. If you really wantedto trust you, you shouldn't have deceived me
in the first place."
Since learning Reece had been deceiving her all along, Sophie had lost all trust in him.
She didn't care what Reece was planning; she certainly wasn't going to gamble with her and Jonah's lives.
Seeing Sophie's reluctance, Reece had no choice but to say, "Okay, then I'll cover and give it to you."
Reece took a step towards Sophie, who stood still, not noticing anything amiss.
But the next second, Jonah pulled her behind him.
Out of nowhere, Reece had drawn a gun, its dark barrel aimed directly at Sophie's forehead.
The bullet flew towards Sophie without hesitation.
Caught off guard, Jonah stepped in front of Sophie.
The bullet grazed Jonah's shoulder, splattering blood instantly.
The attack was unexpected, and Sophie immediately supported Jonah, her face turning pale.
She had anticipated every possibility, even considered Reece might try to kill her.
But she never imagined Reece would pull the trigger himself.
"Run!"
Jonah grabbed Sophie's arm and headed into the forest.
What they didn't know was that the woods were already slowly filling with men cloaked in black capes and
wearing white masks.
It was as if all the demons of the forest had suddenly emerged.
Sophie felt a chilling gaze from behind.
The sensation sent shivers down her spine.

They were like lambs in the forest, ready to be hunted at any moment.
"Stop running! There's no escape."
Jonah suddenly halted.
Sophie quickly realized they were surrounded by members of The Silent Shadows, seemingly appearing from
nowhere, slowly encroaching from all directions.
The pressure was nearly overwhelming. Why?
Sophie looked at Reece as he approached her through the crowd.
Reece simply said, "Don't look atlike that. You said it yourself, I'm the one who betrayed you. Sophie, you
can't expect a betrayer to maintain the affection they once had for you."
Continuing, Reece took another step towards her, adding, "I also know you didn't truly trust me. Coming here,
you were prepared, weren't you? Relying on people like Colby, Adler, Jenna, or Harold? Don't be naive. They can't
penetrate the web I've woven."
