"Sandy and Kiran were here earlier, did you know that?"

"Yeah, I heard."

"I think Kiran might be spying on us."

Sophie didn't beat around the bush, laying out her suspicions directly. "Kiran, being the heir to the Pollard family, wouldn't typically come himself. But seeing how close he is with Sandy, like they're real siblings, it throws me off. What's Kiran's angle in watching me?"

Despite everything, Burke Estate had been unusually calm.

If Kiran was truly as shrewd as the rumors suggested, how could he stay in Devonport for so long without making a move?

"Then let's test him. Finding out what he's really up to shouldn't be too hard."

Sophie and Colby exchanged knowing glances, understanding each other's thoughts perfectly.
