Chapter 464



Without a word, Kallie took the iPad from Sophie’s hands for a closer examination and let out a relieved sigh. It wasn’t a TV interview, but rather a live broadcast from a sneaky candid camera angle.

Someone had positioned themselves at the doorway, covertly filming Jake in his study. Excited comments flooded the live stream.

“Oh my God! He looks tall and strong, and he must be handsome. Unfortunately, he is wearing a mask.”

“I recognize the clothes he’s wearing. They’re high-end custom-tailored. Each button must be worth thousands.”

“He carries himself well.”

The more Kallie read, the more baffled she grew. It was indeed Jake. But how could he possibly let someone broadcast live in his place?

With bewilderment etched on her face, Kallie kept watching. Soon, a familiar name popped up in the comment section.

“Jenny, don’t be shy. Go and talk to him. Seize the chance to pull his mask. He rescued you by the roadside. He must have taken an interest in you.”

“I bet he fell for Jenny the moment he saw her.”

Reading these comments, Kallie blinked, wondering if she saw it right. Jake fell for Jenny at first sight?

Before long, Jenny’s voice emerged. “‘Please, don’t stir things up. I’m just going in for a chat. We are just friends.”

Kallie was totally lost on how Jenny and Jake knew each other. But a quick scroll through the comments soon gave her the answers she needed. So, Jake rescued Jenny. Kallie sensed that the situation was far from simple.

At that moment, Jake shifted, lifting his head. Despite the mask concealing his face, his eyes peered out, cold and unsettling, as if piercing through one’s soul. Jenny seemed frightened, her hands shaking visibly. The netizens had yet to grasp the gravity of the situation; their comments were still light and teasing.

“Jenny, he’s spotted you! Go say hi.”

“Exactly! He’s probably aware of Jenny’s presence and is just silently waiting for her to break the silence. How romantic?”

Kallie found these comments amusing. She offered Jenny a cautious warning. “He looks upset. If you linger, you might just set him off, and that won’t end well for you.”

No sooner had Kallie offered her caution than she found herself the target of attacks from Jenny’s blind followers.

Confronted with a barrage of vile insults, Kallie scoffed. She had no desire to waste her breath on someone so ungrateful; she simply resumed her observation of the unfolding drama.

At this point, Jake had risen to his feet. He began advancing toward Jenny, one deliberate step at a time.

Jenny hadn’t shown fear in her live broadcast yet, but she responded to Kallie’s caution. “To the person who commented, I’m not sure what you’re aiming at. I know him better than anyone, and I’d appreciate it if you’d stop making malicious assumptions like this anymore.” Jenny’s voice shook as she spoke.
