Chapter 1272

Everyone was just having a bit of fun; it was no big deal. But now, things in

Devonport were getting complicated. Sophie was finding it harder and harder to tell who was a friend and who was an enemy.

After a moment of silence, Angelo finally spoke up, "Sophie, I've got to be straight with you. I was asked to stay by your side, but I can't tell you who put me up to it. I swear, I never meant to betray anyone. And about Kiran showing up-honestly, I have no idea what's going on."

Sophie just stared at Angelo, not saying a word. Trusting him was easier said than done. Gordon had taught her to question everything, but doubting the people around her was the last thing she wanted to do.
