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. However, she knew things might not go as she wished easily since Cara was far from sensible, evident in her twisted logic and lack of remorse for the harm she had inflicted on others.
