Chapter 721 Righteousness Over Family
"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''st 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 ofplexity.
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 revtion, moreyers 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.
And it all started with John Timothy.
With this in mind, Kingsley turned to Shannon and uttered, "Mrs. White, even though you aren''t
close to your father, I feel it''s essential to tell you in advance that I''ll avenge the Timothys."
Kingsley considered the fact that Cassius would be joining him in the future, yet he knew that he
had to confront his wife''s father.
If he didn''t rify this matter beforehand, it could lead to future troubles. Blood ties ran deep, and
despite Shannon''s resentment toward her father, there must still be some lingering emotions.
Upon hearing Kingsley''s words, Shannon was taken aback.
Cassius'' heart raced, knowing that if Shannon expressed any defense of her father, Kingsley would
surely cut him off. That would mean Cassius, as the only person aware of the Ashton Birch incident,
might be silenced for good.
Feeling tense, Cassius witnessed Shannon''s wistful smile. "Hemitted grave wrongdoing and
must face the consequences. If I were to plead on his behalf, who would seek justice for the family
of three who perished in the fire?"
She then looked up at Kingsley.
"All that I ask for is to leave his body intact, so I can give him a proper burial. It would be my way of
repaying the twenty years he raised me."
Kingsley had anticipated that Shannon would plead on her father''s behalf, but he was surprised by
her unwavering sense of righteousness.
Without saying much, Kingsley made a heartfelt promise. "If Cassius joins me, I''ll ensure a bright
future for him. As for you and Cayden, I''ll guarantee your safety, and I won''t let the Timothys tear
you apart."
Shannon wiped her tears and expressed her gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Nicholson. Let me cook a
few more dishes for you. Let''s not talk about this anymore."
With that, she stood up and headed back to the kitchen.
Kingsley didn''t stop her, understanding that she needed some private moments to shed her tears.

To uphold righteousness and sacrifice her father must have brought tremendous pain to her heart.
Listening to the drone of the kitchen''s exhaust fan, mingled with faint sobs, Cassius couldn''t help
but let out a heavy sigh.
