Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Chapter 267

Chapter 267

Tracey leaned into Kate's arms, her voice barely more than a whisper. "Kate, be cautious of your brother; he's part of that royal circle."

"Royal circle?" Kate had never heard the term before, but I had, and it sent a chill down my spine. Could it really be the internal conflict within that secretive circle as the sister had warned? What were they fighting over?

Tracey added, "They forbade me from revealing their secrets, so I've been pretending to be clueless, afraid to let my brother find out since he's also part of the royals. I thought his recent inaction was due to familial affection, but today, it was obvious he wanted me dead." Kate held her tightly, overwhelmed with fear.
