Chapter 707:

Jake gave Kallie a meaningful look. “Are you implying I should divorce from Cara?”

Kallie’s face transitioned from shock to a flash of anger. She gave a derisive snort. “Mr. Reeves, you seem to have misunderstood my words. I never look back once someone has left me. I’m not interested in you. My words are solely out of concern for Elma. Moreover, Cara inflicted pain on Calvin, and that was a significant issue.”

Kallie had resolved that if effective communication with Jake proved impossible, she would turn to Clayton. The options were clear. Either they would leave, or she would. Given that the situation wasn’t of her making, she was naturally reluctant to move.

Kallie, visibly annoyed, turned around. “It doesn’t matter. Just reflect on what I’ve told you. I hate to be so blunt, but if Cara dares to threaten me or anyone I care about, I will not tolerate it.” Kallie’s eyes blazed with unhidden lethal intent.
