Chapter 162:

Hidden in the room, Kallie watched the scene unfold, her hand clamped over her mouth in shock.

Disbelief washed over her. It seemed Boris had been acting under Jake’s command all along.

This baffled her. Why would Jake orchestrate such schemes? She had thought the disputes were only between Jake and her, yet Brent was being dragged into this without any fault of his own.

Fuming, Kallie felt a strong urge to confront Jake right then.

However, she paused, her thoughts racing. Given Jake’s volatile nature, mentioning Brent could only fuel his rage further. Predicting his unpredictable reactions was impossible.

Opting for a safer approach, Kallie resolved to discreetly warn Brent to be wary of both Boris and Jake.

Once Jake and his group were out of sight, Kallie cautiously left her hiding spot.

By then, it was already too late. The doctors had been dismissed.

Kallie questioned the servants about the visit, yet none could or would provide any information.

Uncertain whether their ignorance was genuine or feigned, Kallie fretted over what lay ahead.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed as a spirited female voice echoed through the entrance. “Jake, how could you? If I don’t seek you, you never bother. And if you want to avoid my wrath, you’d better find a way to make amends.”

Sarah, dressed in a striking red gown, stormed in and caught sight of Kallie.

Kallie tried to ignore Sarah and turned to leave, but Sarah was not about to let Kallie slip away so easily.

Stepping forward, Sarah blocked Kallie’s path. “Kallie,” she said, her voice cold, her smile chilling. “It’s been a while.”
