Chapter 986:

As an unsettling realization dawned on Kallie, she made a frantic attempt to escape. However, her legs betrayed her, weak and failing.

Kallie managed only a few stumbling steps before collapsing to the floor. Her mind fogged, and the scene before her eyes blurred into indistinct shapes. Her eyelids drooped heavily, threatening to drag her into unconsciousness.

In a desperate bid for lucidity, Kallie bit down hard on her tongue, the sharp pain snapping her back to a moment of clarity. At that precise moment, the door to the secluded back room creaked open, and out stepped Neal’s mother.

The timid demeanor Neal’s mother had earlier was nowhere to be seen. Instead, her eyes were steely and filled with a chilling venom as they fixed on Kallie. The deception was clear now: this woman was anything but simple.

Kallie chided herself for being so easily fooled by Neal’s mother’s harmless performance. Her heart sank with the weight of her miscalculation, but she knew regret was a luxury she could no longer afford.

Peering down at Kallie, Neal’s mother, assuming Kallie had passed out, allowed a smirk of triumph to curl her lips.
