Chapter 375



Kallie’s gaze became threatening. “I have money to pay for your services, and I also have resources to secure my interests. Do you understand?”

“Yes,” the person replied, his face paling. He nodded rapidly before leaving in a hurry with the money.

Exhausted, Kallie collapsed onto the sofa.

Liza, having completed her tasks, returned and couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Kallie’s distressed state. “Kallie, I know you’re anxious, but if you break down, Sophie will get worried,” Liza remarked.

Kallie inhaled deeply. “You’re right. But how can I possibly stay calm with Tyrone missing and no leads?”

Liza placed an envelope on the desk before Kallie. “Please take a look at this. Please grab some rest.”

With a slight frown, Kallie picked up the envelope and read it. Inside was an invitation. It had been sent by the Martel family, who were hoping Kallie would attend.

This left Kallie feeling perplexed.

Møɍɛ ųρɗα†єş ıŋ ɢαℓŋσνєƖş.ƈσʍ “Why has the Martel family extended the invitation to me?”

During Kallie’s time with the Reeves, she had maintained a distance from the Martels, and now, out of the blue, they sought her presence at a banquet.

Observing Kallie’s puzzled expression, Liza offered a solution. “Kallie, if you’re hesitant about this, I can easily decline on your behalf. The messenger who delivered the invitation is still nearby.”

Kallie shook her head, scrutinizing the invitation. Her finger paused at the logo. “Look here, this emblem signifies VIP status. Although their motives are unclear, their effort to deliver this personally isn’t something to dismiss lightly.”

Kallie added with a hint of curiosity, “It’s okay. I feel like watching how Melinda will react to my surprise for her.”

Liza acknowledged with a nod. “Understood.”

Just then, Kallie’s phone interrupted their conversation with its insistent ring. It was Errol calling. The line was silent until Kallie, pressed for time, broke the stillness. “Errol, I’m busy here. If you’ve nothing to discuss, I need to hang up.”

“Kallie, please wait!” Errol’s voice came through, hurried and anxious.

“I’m calling for the sake of Sarah. If this makes you angry, you can lash out at me, and I won’t retaliate. But allow me to caution you that if this continues, it might spell trouble for you. You know how the Miller family operates.”

Kallie smiled, her tone flat. “I doubt the Miller family has the capability to pose any real threat to me at the moment. Errol, if you’re facing a tough spot, just be upfront with me. We’ve been friends long enough, and I won’t hold this against you.”

As Kallie spoke with such calmness, Errol’s guilt intensified. He bit his lip, his voice laden with a mix of sadness and resignation. “I need to get Sarah out immediately. She can’t be left in this situation.”

“Okay. Come and pick her up,” Kallie agreed smoothly.
