Chapter 1535
In the Pollard family's overseas estate, Sandy couldn't believe her eyes as she stared at the front-page headline.
A photo showed Colby at a hotel with another woman, leaving her absolutely stunned.
"Sandy, the maid mentioned you haven't been eating your breakfast properly. What's going on?" Kiran asked,
bringing her breakfast into the room.
Sandy rushed over to him, thrusting her phone under his nose. "Brother, is this for real? Or is someone trying to
set Colby up?"
Sandy had always been keenly aware of the bond between Colby and Sophie. With Kiran claiming the internet
was down, she'd been offline for days, sensing something was amiss. Sure enough, as soon as she powered up

"Sandy, men are unreliable creatures. It's just infidelity; why are you so shocked?"
"But it's Colby! How could he cheat? Sure, any man might stray, but not Colby!"
Sandy was certain of Colby's love for Sophie and had faith in Sophie's judgment. "And what's this about
emotional neglect? I've never even heard of that before."
Kiran knew his sister too well; she would always worry about others. He gently patted her head. "If you're so
worried about Sophie, how about | let you go back to see her?"
Sandy eyed Kiran suspiciously. "What's with the sudden change of heart? I've been begging to visit them for
days, and you wouldn't even letout of my room. Why the sudden generosity?"
Kiran had been healing from a serious injury. Even though Colby's shot wasn't fatal, it had been severe enough.
Despite his strength, Kiran wasn't invincible.
"Sandy, it breaks my heart to see you doubt your brother like this."
With a warm smile, Kiran said, "If it's just about checking on a friend, I'll let you go. Once you're reassured, have
someone bring you back. But Summerfield's not a place I'm comfortable with for too long. You can only stay for a
day."
Kiran was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Brother..."

Sandy tried to plead, but Kiran turned serious. "If you stay in Summerfield longer, I'll have someon
drag you back. You know | mean it, Sandy. You wouldn't do anything to upset your brother, right?"
QUA
Sandy was all for sneaky plans but lacked the boldness to carry them out. With Kiran allowing just one day in
Summerfield, she knew she had to stick to it, no matter how much she wanted more time.
"Well... alright then."
She lowered her head, looking quite put out. Yet, Kiran knew his sister well; the idea of a brief escape thrilled her.
Still, he let her little act slide. "Alright, I'll have someone escort you to Summerfield. By this ttomorrow, |
want you back here, safe and sound." Sandy nodded earnestly. "Don't worry, brother, | won't get lost."
"If you do, I'll have a word with Sophie. If she can't find you, I'll have no choice but to make sure she regrets it."
