It wasn't that Sophie and her team were too weak; it was that The Silent Shadows were too strong.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Elodie spoke up, "Sophie, they all listen to you, and I believe you're also aware of the consequences of biting off more than you can chew."
"There's no need to try to dissuade me. We have our reasons for doing this."
"I'm not trying to dissuade you. Rather, I'm saying if you need me, I can join you."
Elodie said this with ease, causing a moment of stunned silence.
"What are you looking at me like that for? Do you think I shouldn't join you, or are you wondering why I would want to join you?"
Elodie continued, "Not to mention my relationship with Griffin and your team, but just by wanting to establish myself in Devonport, you've already helped me a great deal. I might not have much else to offer in assistance, but in this matter, I can contribute my bit."
Jenna asked, puzzled, "Ms. Elodie, how do you plan to help us?"
"By working from the inside out, I believe our odds of success would be greater."
"I've previously collaborated with Joseph, and since I am a daughter of the Reeves family, Joseph has been rather lenient with me. Due to Joseph's connection with The Silent Shadows, they might also trust me somewhat. If you have any information you want me to pass on, or if you need me to gather intelligence for you, I think I can manage it."
"Ms. Elodie, you really don’t have to—"
Before Sophie could finish, Elodie interrupted, "There's no need to persuade me. It's not just for you; James is related to me by blood after all. Consider it repaying a favor he owes me, and with this, I'll have repaid my debt to you all as well. Ms. Sophie, you just need to tell me whether you need my help or not."
After hearing this, Sophie was silent for a moment.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
Excellent novel!...
