Chapter 121:

After bidding farewell to Rachel, Kallie left the Simpson family estate.

Most guests had already departed, but a few lingered, still buzzing about the banquet’s events.

Ethan greeted her with a bright, cheerful smile.

Kallie regained her composure and walked over to Ethan to explain the incident at the banquet, telling him that it had all been taken care of.

Ethan nodded. “I know, and I really owe you for stepping in.” In his eyes lingered a trace of sympathy as he regarded Kallie. “It’s been quite the ordeal with Jake recently, hasn’t it?”
