Chapter 268



Sarah was acutely aware that her obsession with Jake stemmed from his prestigious position as the CEO of Reeves Group, not because of who he was. She would certainly leave him if he lost his position.

Biting her lip, Sarah forced a few tears and whispered to herself, “Jake, I know you’re deeply in love with me. Anyway, I have reminded you. If you fail, you only have yourself to blame. After all, only the strongest survive in the end.”

With renewed determination, Sarah began plotting how to distance herself from Jake once things proceeded as their grand schemes. Maintaining their relationship would be pointless by then.

Over the past year, Sarah had made numerous attempts, but Jake had consistently resisted, insisting they wait until marriage.

At that time, Sarah felt unwanted and neglected. Now, she felt fortunate that nothing had occurred between her and Jake.

Just then, Sarah’s phone began to buzz. It was a call from Amara.

As soon as Sarah picked up, Amara rushed into the conversation. “Sarah, I’ve lined up someone for you. He’s well-educated and comes from a wealthy family. I’m sure he’ll catch your eye.”

Sarah replied with a hint of impatience, “Mom, Jake and I are still together. It will be really awkward if he finds out about this.”

“Oh, silly girl. Are you still holding out hope for Jake? Listen, he’s in trouble this time,” Amara responded, her voice tinged with anxiety. “Do you know why I’m pushing you? I just found out Jake met with Kallie yesterday and asked for a divorce. They’re finished. Do you realize what this means?”

Stunned, Sarah whispered, “Does this mean he’s going to propose to me?”

Amara’s silence spoke volumes.

Words that Kallie was a long-missing member of the Nixon family had spread.

Sarah had heard about it. Claiming she wasn’t jealous would be a lie. Yet, she never took it to heart. After all, she grasped she couldn’t harm Kallie anymore since the Nixon family backed Kallie up.

But one thing puzzled Sarah. Since Kallie was now part of the Nixon family, why was Jake so adamant about getting a divorce?

The more Sarah dwelled on the thought, the more her anxiety grew. Was Jake truly planning to marry her?

Sarah had just ended her conversation with Amara when Edgar called. “Miss Miller, Mr. Reeves would like to have an appointment with you. Are you available this evening?”

“Sorry, I have plans tonight.” Sarah cut him off sharply. “I’ll be quite busy for the next few days. Please inform Jake not to contact me unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Hearing this, Edgar was dumbfounded. Hadn’t Sarah always been keen to please Jake? What had caused her sudden change of heart?

Relaying Sarah’s message to Jake, Edgar anticipated Jake’s confusion.
