Chapter 1209:

Already weak, she couldn’t bear the thought of it failing him now. If Jake had gone too far, his actions could have turned deadly for Clayton.

Kallie’s mind churned as she tried to understand what could’ve driven Jake to act so recklessly. It was so unlike him.

Kallie lowered her head, lost in thought, her brow furrowed in silent frustration.

The bodyguard who had disappeared moments earlier reappeared at the doorway.

“Mrs. Reeves, please come in,” he said, gesturing toward the open door.

Hearing the title “Mrs. Reeves” sent a ripple through Kallie’s emotions, though she hid it well. A flicker of confusion and bitterness danced in her eyes. Did Jake order that? What game was he playing now? Steeling herself, Kallie stepped inside. Her gaze immediately fell on Clayton, sprawled on the floor in a pool of blood. Her breath caught, and her pupils constricted in alarm. She quickened her pace without thinking, her heels clicking sharply against the floor.

But before she could reach Clayton, Jake’s men moved to block her path. She froze, fists clenching at her sides, as she heard the heavy tread of approaching footsteps.

Jake’s voice came from behind her, cold and dripping with resentment.
