Chapter 601



Anna scowled.

“To be honest, I’m not sure myself, but my father has been watching you for years and thinks you’re intelligent. Jake is also smart. It’s likely your children would inherit that intelligence.

Remember Sophie? It’s just a pity that she’s a girl. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any need to abduct you and ensure your survival. It’s ludicrous to think that trying to appease my father would protect you or your children. He merely sees you as an animal he owns.”

Kallie felt nauseous. She stared at Anna, overwhelmed with emotion. “What you’re doing is illegal!”

To Anna, Kallie’s words seemed like mere jest. “Well then, call the police and have us arrested. Let’s see if you manage that.”

Anna got up and approached Kallie. She reached out, seized Kallie by the chin, and forced Kallie to meet her gaze.

Anna relished seeing Kallie’s terror and tears, feeling a perverse sense of satisfaction.

“You ought to be grateful. My father considered your recent compliance and opted to end your life swiftly without revealing the truth. But at least I’ve told you everything, so you won’t die ignorant.”

Kallie, shivering with rage, managed to say, “You’ll be punished for your wicked actions!”

Anna chuckled. “Really? Where’s this punishment?”

Kallie regained her composure, her gaze intense.

He likely figured out Ernesto’s true intentions and tried his best to keep you out of it. Even in his final moments, he made Jake swear to protect you. Yet, here you are, back in the very place your brother tried to rescue you from. Don’t you ever get haunted by thoughts of him?”

Anna’s rage boiled over, and she slapped Kallie. “Silence!” At that moment, a bodyguard interjected. “Miss Perry, if anything happens to her, it’s on you.”

Anna, breathing heavily, fought the urge to lash out further. She clenched her teeth.

“If it weren’t for you, Jake and I could have had a peaceful life together. All my suffering is because of you!”

Kallie took a few shaky steps back, her hands instinctively cradling her swollen belly.

After taking a moment to steady herself, Kallie resumed her mockery of Anna. “No, Anna. You’re here because of your own choices. You made your bed. Now, lie in it. Let me tell you something. Jake is never going to love you. Even without me, he won’t. If you doubt me, ask him yourself. Or, if you’re feeling bold, you can kill me right now and see if what I said isn’t true.”
