Chapter 1551
Sandy found herself alone in the pitch-black wine cellar, with gunshots echoing relentlessly from above. She was
desperate to find out what was happening, but the cellar door was locked from the outside, making escape
impossible.
After what seemed like forever, the chaos above finally quieted down. Yet, the sudden silence only made Sandy's
heart race even more with fear. Suddenly, the iron door creaked open, and Sandy ducked into a corner, fearing
someone dangerous might enter. But soon enough, a familiar voice reached her. "Ms. Sandy, it's me," Kena
called out, her voice low and a bit shaky. Recognizing Kena's voice, Sandy cautiously peeked out from her hiding
spot.

"What's going on out there?" Sandy's voice quivered, the sound of gunfire still fresh in her mind. Kena hurried
over, helping Sandy to her feet, before whispering, "Your brother... he's killed everyone in the house."
Fear and sadness laced Kena's voice, leaving Sandy stunned. "My brother..." she managed to utter.
"But don't worry, they didn't find this place. You're safe here, at least for now," Kena reassured her, gripping
Sandy's hand firmly. "You can't stay here, though. | think your brother really cares about you, Ms. Sandy. If you go
back and say you got lost, he probably won't hold it against you."
The revelation that her brother had killed so many people left Sandy's mind reeling. He'd always been good to
her, never showing any sign of cruelty. But those gunshots...
"And you... are you okay?" Sandy suddenly noticed the blood staining Kena's clothes. Kena shook her head
slightly, I'm alright. Being part of the Gibbs family has its protections; your brother wouldn't harm me. But.. if he
can't find you, who knows what he'll do next."
Kena's words made Sandy hesitate. Even though Sophie had suggested she should eventually return to her
brother, Sandy hadn't yet figured out if Kena was involved with The Silent Shadows. Leaving now felt like
abandoning her mission.
"Ms. Sandy?" Kena's concerned gaze met hers, making Sandy waver. If not for Kena's presence, she might have
already been taken by her brother. With the Gibbs family's staff dead because of her, a wave of guilt washed
over Sandy.
Before she could think it through, her words cout in a rush, "Alright then." A relieved smile spread across
Kena's face. "Don't worry, you won't cause trouble for me. Just say you got fost, and your brother shouldn't come

"But Sophie..." Sandy began. "I'll handle Ms. Sophie," Kena assured her, taking Sandy's hand. "It's not safe for
you here anymore, cwith me."
As Kena led Sandy out of the wine
cellar, the acid smell of blood hit them as soon as they reached the hall. Sandy nearly gagged at the stench.
Kena covered her nose
e and
mouth as well; the living room was a scene of horror, the servants who had been so kind to Sandy just a day ago
were now gone.
