In the end, Colby finally broke the silence. "Mr. Pei, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"Well, to be honest... I'm not Kiran."

Angelo's confession didn't seem to surprise Colby or Sophie one bit.

Angelo cursed inwardly. These two had already figured it out! And James seemed to know way too much.

Clearing his throat, Angelo said, "Uh... could you both react a little? This is getting pretty awkward for me."

"Oh," Sophie replied, "So, Mr. Pei, why bring this up all of a sudden?"

"Well, I actually snuck out behind my brother and dad's back. Kiran and I are identical, and most people can't tell us apart. I've been using his identity to show off, which is embarrassing, but true. I figured you were suspicious, and I see you both as friends. I didn't want to deceive you. Please don't expose me, or I'm done for!"

Angelo looked genuinely earnest.
