Chapter 112:

Sarah did not bother to contain her smug face and sharpness.

“Don’t give me that look. Jake was available today, so he took me shopping. We even bought some clothes.” As she said this, Sarah produced a gift bag and flashed Kallie a provocative grin. “I even picked out a gift for you. Jake helped choose it.”

Kallie simply watched Sarah silently.

Hazel moved to stand protectively in front of Kallie. “Miss Miller, if you desire peace and quiet, you should avoid stirring up trouble. It’s bad enough that you’re shamelessly lingering here, but now you’re openly challenging the lady of the house. Isn’t that a bit much?”

Sarah let out a scornful laugh. “Lady of the house? Does Kallie truly believe she’s entitled to that role? Jake would likely scoff at that. This is Jake’s house. What authority do you have to speak on this?”

“You!” Hazel bristled with anger.

Kallie intervened, quietly taking the bag from Sarah. She opened it and found a garment inside, something reminiscent of a vintage store find, yet it had a touch of elegance.

Kallie couldn’t fathom why Sarah would give her this. It was clearly not meant to be kind. She barely glanced at it before tossing it directly into the trash.

Sarah, however, didn’t appear bothered. With a slightly amused look, she raised an eyebrow. “I had warned you. This was a gift from Jake, and you don’t seem to appreciate it at all.”
