Chapter 1609

"Be cautious of deception."

Jonah blocked Sophie's path, maintaining a distance from Reece, who had started to pull away from them.

His instincts warned him that there would surely be a trap ahead.

Sophie didn't respond, but her silence spoke volumes.

Reece found her reasoning solid and shook his head slightly, adding, "It's sad to realize we don't even have this basic trust between us anymore."
