Chapter 189:

When Boris made that statement, the crowd erupted into chaos.

“What secrets? What is he talking about?”

“Seriously, can’t this guy just get to the point?”

“He’s just trying to stir up trouble. Kallie already mentioned she isn’t close to Boris.”

“Are you kidding me? Even if they aren’t close, Kallie is well-connected with the Hayes family. I’ve always believed she’s no ordinary woman.”

Eyes filled with curiosity, gossip, and suspicion all directed at Kallie.

Sarah stirred the pot further. “What secrets are you referring to, Mr. Guzman? Be careful with your accusations in such a large crowd. It won’t look good if rumors start to spread.”

Unable to contain her frustration, Irene snapped, “Enough with the games! If you want to spread rumors, think of the repercussions. Mr. Hayes considers Kallie almost like a sister.”

Irene’s words were a clear warning to Boris.

Boris understood the implication, but clenching his teeth, he countered, “I’m only speaking the truth. Kallie has been involved in numerous dubious activities under the Hayes’ roof. My cousin shields her, oblivious to her real character. I wouldn’t have believed it myself had I not accidentally witnessed it. It’s repulsive to think that Kallie, who seems so gentle, could be involved in such deeds.”

Irene rolled her eyes and uttered, “Kallie, let’s just leave.”

But Kallie shook her head. She had realized something. Sarah and Boris were conspiring against her. They had laid a trap. Whether she stayed or left, the result would be the same. It was better to confront the situation head-on than to later discover how much worse things had become.
