Chapter 1522
It seemed like The Silent Shadows were really trying to cash in on the situation. The Pearl Hotel must mean
something special to them. Sophie paused, caught up in her thoughts. Just then, a chorus of exclamations from a
nearby group pulled her back to the moment. Looking up, she saw a striking woman, dressed to the nines,
making her way down the grand staircase from the second floor. Her beauty was undeniable, and it wasn't just
Sophie who noticed.
"That's Mr. Donny's goddaughter," Kena remarked, a sneer playing on her lips.
Mr. Donny was pulling the skind of stunt Daniel had tried before, using his goddaughter to cozy up to
wealthy businessmen. It was downright sickening. Poor Leticia had ended up taking her own life, and who knew
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthow long this new woman could hold out? "Jenna, cover here," Mr. Donny called warmly to Gina.
Gina's smile was dazzling, like an angel who'd accidentally wandered into the mortal world-pure and untouched.
She epitomized the phrase perfectly, far more innocent-looking than Nichole ever was. The businessmen around
ogled Gina as if she were sflawless masterpiece.
Kena frowned, whispering, "That scoundrel probably plans to use Gina tonight to rake in cash or maybe to
leverage her beauty for spower and perks."
Before they could delve deeper into their conversation, the room's attention shifted to another figure. Colby was
descending from the second floor.
Taken aback, Kena blurted, "When did Mr. Colby get here?" She quickly glanced at Sophie, who was just as
clueless about Colby's early arrival and his presence upstairs.
After over ten days without seeing him, Colby seemed leaner, but he had shed his previous scruffiness. In a
sharp suit, he gracefully made his way from the second floor to the banquet hall's dance floor.
Mr. Donny greeted Colby with
warmth, and surprisingly, Colby was all smiles and laughter with him. Although Colby's expressions were usually
understated, Sophie could still Spot the subtle smile on his
face.
Gina appeared quite familiar with Colby, even warmly reaching out to greet him. Colby, who typically avoided

wondered aloud, turning to Sophie.
Sophie's face was stoic, but inside, it felt like a dagger had pierced her heart. Colby hadn't glanced her way
once. In the past, he would have spotted her in a heartbeat, even in a crowded room.
Mr. Donny's gaze landed on Sophie
too, with a look that seemed almost taunting. Gina and Colby were deep in conversation, and while their topic
was a mystery, it was clear Colby wasn't bothered. He even initiated sexchanges with Gina.
Everyone knew about Sophie and Colby's history, and as they watched this scene unfold, they stayed quiet,
soaking in the . Rumors were flying that Sophie had been playing games, leaving Colby heartbroken. One
accused of tricking her way into marriage, the other of cheating-divorce seemed
inevitable.
