Chapter 727:

Now that they were back in their homeland, where the law was strictly enforced, even a small mistake could jeopardize the entire Morgan family.

After hearing Jake’s words, Clayton remained silent for a long time. He realized that his leniency had not earned Cara’s gratitude as he had hoped but had only fueled her brazenness.

As Cara listened to the recording, she heard Clayton’s voice fade into silence. At that moment, she held on to a sliver of hope. Clayton, her brother, had always been her protector, showering her with love and never failing to stand by her side. He had made countless sacrifices to keep her safe.

However, as the recording continued, Clayton’s next words were clear: “If it were for any other reason, I wouldn’t lend a hand. But seeing her at the hospital, so distraught over the kids, made me question my actions. For her sake, I’ll help you.”

Clayton didn’t specify anyone by name, but Cara wasn’t naive. She immediately realized that Clayton was referring to Kallie, the woman who had ensnared Jake. Now, it seemed that Kallie had also charmed Clayton. It appeared that Jake and Clayton were conspiring to lock her up on Kallie’s behalf.

Cara was livid. Kallie was to blame. She deserved to die. Filled with fury, Cara struggled to contain the storm of emotions inside her as she gripped Jake’s clothes tightly.
