Chapter 212:

Courtney pursed her lips together, her reluctance to accept Stan’s words evident. Deep down, she acknowledged the logic in Stan’s argument.

Previously, when Stan had approached Melinda for his schemes, Courtney merely felt displeased.

This time, however, Stan’s attitude toward Kallie triggered a sense of unease in Courtney.

Stan was known for his rigid demeanor. Yet, his unexpected gentleness toward Kallie was striking. This clearly indicated his interest in her.

Oblivious to the shadow of disquiet in Courtney’s gaze, Stan merely waved her off. “Take her back first,” he instructed.

Courtney raised her eyebrows, slightly taken aback. “Aren’t you coming with us?”

Stan’s sneer was sharp. “When Jake regains his wits, he’ll realize the truth in Kallie’s messages. Jake, groomed to command obedience as the heir of the Reeves dynasty, might disregard Kallie’s well-being, yet they remain married. Someone is now challenging him by attempting to whisk away his wife. This will undoubtedly provoke him. I suspect he will soon be after me. Let’s divide our men into two groups. You’ll escort Kallie discreetly. This should throw him off.”

Understanding the plan, Courtney nodded, her anxiety palpable. “Jake is not someone easy to deal with,” she remarked.

Stan smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry about me. Just ensure Kallie’s safety and don’t let anything happen to her.”

“You care too much about her,” Courtney responded, her tone tinged with displeasure.

Stan closed his eyes and said nothing.

It didn’t take long to prove Stan had guessed it right.
