Chapter 599



“Jake came to spy on me last night. It scared me, and I thought maybe I was mistaken,” Anna said. “But then you visited him today. I knew he’d do anything for you. Yet, I recognized him. All your efforts are futile.”

Kallie, cradling her injured wrist, retorted, “I just couldn’t tolerate White’s harassment anymore and mocked him for some fun. As for Jake, how would I know anything about him? I’m trapped here, unable to contact the outside world.”

Anna caressed Kallie’s face with a chilling smile. “You won’t admit it? That’s fine. I always knew you were obstinate. I suspect Jake might have altered his appearance. Today, I brought experts to restore his original looks. If he truly is Jake, neither you nor your unborn children will survive today.”

Despite her trembling legs, Kallie stood firm, meeting Anna’s menacing stare with calm resolve.

Anna sneered, “Aren’t you afraid yet? Kallie, it’s impressive how composed you remain.” Anna then instructed her followers, “Go in.”

A group entered the dungeon.

Kallie fought the urge to follow them, her despair mounting. She had hoped for a simple, peaceful life. What had she done to deserve this?

Sounds rustled from within and then silence ensued, causing Kallie’s anxiety to spike rapidly.

Within three minutes, Kallie was sweating profusely.

Suddenly, a voice from inside broke the silence. “Miss Perry, we’ve confirmed it. White died three minutes ago. His body is still warm.” The room fell silent.

Kallie tensed and then gradually relaxed as a realization dawned on her. They had confirmed White’s death, not Jake’s. It seemed Jake might have escaped.

Anna’s scream suddenly pierced the quiet. “How can this be? Are you sure he’s really White, and not Jake? Look again, carefully!”

Anna’s subordinate answered with a trembling voice, “This is White. There’s no mask on his face. It’s actually him.”

Then, the air was split by the loud sound of a slap, followed by Anna’s uncontrollable screams.

Kallie maintained her composure, steadied herself, and walked out with slow, deliberate steps.

Saniya remained by the door. As Kallie approached, she whispered, “You’ve really done it now, getting White killed. Aren’t you worried Griffin will be livid and come after you?”

Kallie gave a blink of feigned innocence and replied, “You’re accusing me unfairly. How could I possibly kill White? I don’t even know how to defend myself. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been brought here by you. White’s death is not on my hands.”

Saniya responded with a scoff, “It better be unrelated, or I’ll find myself in trouble too. Leave now. I regret bringing you here. What a disaster this has become.”

Kallie’s wound continued to bleed, though the pain had subsided significantly. She moved a few steps away, paused, and then turned to look at the dungeon, addressing Saniya abruptly, “What if I help you replace Anna?”
