The real turning point came after the official release of the new regulations.
Back in Veridia, Gideon Sheffield had been silently monitoring anything related to Zane Thorne ever since he confessed that matter to Leo Chandler.
He thought Zane would come to him for an explanation after knowing the truth from those years, but he overestimated himself. Zane hadn't sought him out at all, or rather, had absolutely no desire to find him.
And rightly so, how could he dare hope that Zane would still be willing to deal with him after what he'd done?
Once envy has taken hold, the moment you make a wrong move, it's a mistake, and you have to bear the consequences of that wrong choice.
But...
Gideon was willing to bear it, yet he regretted it.
He regretted listening to deceitful words, regretted burying the latter half of his life due to a moment of folly, and ruined Zane's career as well.
