"I can speak on behalf of the Nicholsons and assure you that it's not your fault." Kingsley neither confirmed nor denied, hoping to alleviate some of her guilt.
Shannon was taken aback, her hand instinctively covering her mouth, leaving her speechless for a moment.
Cassius' expression mirrored the astonishment.
Both of them sensed there was a significant connection between Kingsley and the family that tragically perished years ago.
"I'm so sorry." After a moment of silence, Shannon's voice carried sincere remorse. "I apologize for how I treated you."
Her apologies flowed genuinely, directed at Kingsley.
Then, her teary gaze shifted to Cassius. "Cassius, Mr. Nicholson's visit is about asking you to return to the martial world, right? To make amends for our past selfishness, you must wholeheartedly support him and stand by his side."
Cassius' last doubts vanished as he listened to Shannon's words.
He nodded. "Rest assured, from now on, my life belongs to Mr. Nicholson."
As Kingsley observed the couple, his emotions were a whirlwind of complexity.
This encounter not only exposed the mastermind behind the tragic fire but also gained an ally like Cassius. It was far beyond what he had expected.
However, at the same time, the truth behind his parents' deaths became increasingly intricate.
With each revelation, more layers were unveiled, and the web of connections seemed to spread wider, potentially implicating many others.
In light of this, Kingsley's determination strengthened even more.
No matter who lurked behind as the hidden mastermind, Kingsley was resolute in exposing them and exacting revenge for his parents.
