Chapter 109:

“Alright then, I won’t stop you,” Jake said as he approached Sarah.

Jake’s voice softened instantly as he addressed Sarah, a marked contrast to his earlier interaction with Kallie. “Are you still hurting?”

Sarah shook her head, her eyes brimming with tears. “No, not anymore. I’m just scared. Kallie’s actions just now… They reminded me of the time she pushed me down the stairs.”

Jake offered Sarah a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. She’s confined to the guest room. You’re safe here with me. I’ll make sure no one hurts you.”

A glimmer of relief sparked in Sarah’s eyes, and a blush tinted her cheeks as she nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Kallie halted abruptly, her hand slamming down on the railing to draw their attention. Her expression was icy as she made a forceful gesture, clearly displaying her fury.

Kallie’s gestures practically yelled, “Sarah, I didn’t push you. You know why you fell. Don’t think just because you’re the victim, you can manipulate public opinion. Now everyone’s quick to condemn me, thinking they can break me. But remember, the truth will come out. Erase all the evidence you want, but I will prove my innocence!”

Sarah’s eyes flickered, a mix of feigned innocence and helplessness, as she clutched Jake’s hand. “What’s with all her wild gestures? Is she hurling insults at me?”

Jake was visibly shocked. Kallie’s anger was something new to him. She was usually so laid-back, never letting anything ruffle her.

Even around the Reeves family, Kallie maintained a gentle smile, always careful to keep everyone at ease.

It dawned on Jake then. Kallie’s fury wasn’t directed at Sarah alone. She was also indicting him.

But Jake felt no anger. Instead, he was struck by how much more vibrant Kallie seemed in this state.

Turning to Sarah, Jake said flatly, “Does it even matter what she’s saying or thinking?”
