Chapter 563 Not Surprising at All

    “Is there some kind of misunderstanding?” Sienna’s gaze bounced between Jean and Sarah, her brows drawn tight with concern.

    After speaking, she stepped forward and reached out to Sarah, trying to help her up off the floor.

    Sarah took Sienna’s hand and stood up smoothly.

    Then she held the badge in her palm and disyed it for the Ginger family to see. “This badge… it doesn’t look ordinary.”

    She gave Jean a brief nce, then added with a show of worry, “Jean dropped it; I just happened to pick it up… I’m honestly really concerned. I’m afraid she may have taken the wrong path and gotten involved with some unknown group.”

    Jean’s expression didn’t change; she didn’t even twitch an eyelid.

    Dominic said nothing. He simply took the badge from Sarah’s hand and lowered his gaze to examine it carefully.

    The rest of the Ginger family shifted their attention to the badge as well.

    “This is Abyssal Choir?” Carl was the first to recognize it, his brows knitting immediately.

    The others, hearing that, grew solemn and fell silent.

    Of course, they knew what Abyssal Choir was.

    That recently high–profile, mysterious organization–powerful, but dark and enigmatic.

    Jean’s lips curved slightly. She finally spoke, breaking the silence. “Yeah. I did join Abyssal Choir.”

    She admitted it, just like that.

    The Ginger family’s eyes froze on her, their expressions turningplicated.

    Jean gave a helpless shrug. “But that was a long time ago. Back then, I felt really unsafe. You guys know how I used to be, I liked being alone, never really fit in with anything. I guess I just lost my mind for a while. You know how people in their edgy phase think this kind of stuff is cool.”

    Sarah, however, wasn’t buying it. “A group like that doesn’t let just anyone in. Once you’re part of it, it’s hard to stay uninvolved. Can you guarantee you’ve never done anything bad?”

    Jean looked at Sarah, her smile thin and cold. “Abyssal Choir isn’t as terrible as you’re making it sound. At least when I joined, most of their missions were about helping ordinary people. Of course, I don’t know what they’ve been like these past few years. I’ve been a sideline membertely, haven’t taken part in any of their operations.”

    Jean’s gaze swept over the Ginger family; her tone softened a bit. “Everything I’ve said is true. I really don’t want to exin more than that.”

    But Sarah still wouldn’t let it go. She pressed on, “You seriously don’t know what the Abyssal Choir’s bbeen /bup to in recent years?”

    “Enough,” Sienna suddenly cut in, interrupting her.

    Sarah froze slightly, turning her head toward Sienna.

    It Finished

    Sienna let out augh, her expression suddenly rxing. “Oh, I thought this was going to be bsomething /bserious…”

    This child had always been sharp and clever–nothing about her was ordinary. Maybe she saw somethinging and joined the organization to avoid disaster… All in all, something like this–when it came to Jean–wasn’t the least bit surprising. The Ginger family’s young men were actually thinking the same thing.

    “Why didn’t you just say so earlier?” Easton’s lips tilted into a slight smile as he looked at Jean with pure affection. “This organization didn’t force you, did they? If you want out and can’t do it alone, we’ll help you find a way.b” /b

    Jean hadn’t expected them to take it so well; she was a little caught off guard. “No coercion or anything blike /bthat. They’ve actually treated me well–protected me a lot. I’m really grateful to them.”
