Chapter 432:

Sophie shook her head earnestly. “No, I saw it on TV. But if you don’t want to watch it, I won’t.”

Kallie smiled softly and stroked Sophie’s head. “Let’s just get some sleep now,” she murmured.

What Kallie didn’t realize was that Jake had been standing just outside the door, overhearing their entire conversation. He had been about to enter, but after a moment’s hesitation, he released the doorknob and stepped back. Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket, breaking the stillness of the moment.

Jake quickly moved away from the door and answered the call. A familiar female voice greeted him, dripping with arrogance.

“Jake, I bet you didn’t expect me to catch you in my web again. It’s time to make a choice. Either reveal your identity or get Kallie out of Avalon, because if you don’t, she’ll never have peace here again.”

Joanna’s confidence was palpable, her tone laced with smugness. She had covered her tracks, disposing of Charlee’s body with meticulous care. The police would find nothing, leaving Kallie as the prime suspect. Otherwise, Jake would have involved the police already.
