Chapter 603



Ernesto had initially planned for Kallie to deliver the baby prematurely, as his deteriorating health couldn’t afford to wait for her children to reach full growth. No further accidents could occur with Kallie.

Ernesto glanced at Saniya, who immediately understood his silent command. She stepped forward, gently helping Kallie to her feet.

“Kallie, Miss Perry was just trying to scare you,” Saniya said with a rare smile, her voice soft. “You’ve been remarkably cooperative and have a good relationship with Mr. Ernesto Perry. Naturally, he wouldn’t harm you. Besides, once the child is born, it will need its mother. So don’t worry, your life is safe.”

Kallie exhaled, relief flooding through her. For now, she had avoided death.

Ernesto motioned toward the door. “I have special guests to attend to. Saniya, stay behind and comfort Kallie.” With that, Ernesto wheeled away, his entourage following closely behind.

As soon as Ernesto left, Saniya’s gentle facade vanished. She turned to Kallie with a cold, calculating stare. “Stop pretending. What’s your real motive? You know as well as I do that Ernesto won’t spare your life.”

Kallie’s fawning expression vanished. She remained calm and cold. “I understand, and that’s why I need your help. I promised to make you Ernesto’s most trusted confidant. You see for yourself. I only employed a small trick to turn Ernesto against Anna.”

Saniya studied Kallie, unsure whether to trust her.

Saniya grasped that Kallie was undeniably ruthless. If Ernesto had arrived just a moment later, Anna might have killed Kallie, leading to three tragic deaths. By then, not only would Kallie and her babies be lost, but Ernesto would be furious, likely leading him to kill Anna in retaliation. So, even if Kallie died, Anna was dragged down.

“So, what’s driving your desire to continue cooperating with me? I have nothing left for you to exploit,” Saniya said, her voice filled with skepticism.

Kallie’s gaze softened as she stared at Saniya, her voice almost pleading. “I helped you handle Griffin and weaken Anna. All I ask in return is that you protect my child.”

Saniya scoffed. “That’s a weak excuse. Even if I don’t step in, your child will be well cared for here. Do you get what I’m saying?”

Kallie shook her head, her voice trembling with emotion. “I’m carrying twins. Ernesto only wants one. I need you to help me protect the other.”

Saniya’s eyes widened in surprise. She looked down at Kallie’s noticeably large belly, realizing the truth behind Kallie’s words.

After a moment’s hesitation, Saniya nodded. “Alright. I’ll help you.”

Kallie’s eyes filled with tears of relief. “Thank you,” she whispered.

But as Saniya turned away, her mind whirled with thoughts of betrayal. She had no intention of protecting Kallie’s children, but for now, she would play along.

Saniya approached Kallie and said, “Now that I’ve agreed, tell me what to do next. If the reward isn’t worth it, I might regret it.”

Seeing the undisguised greed in Saniya’s eyes, Kallie couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.

Kallie reached into her pocket, pulled out a small pill, and handed it to Saniya. “This pill is harmless, but Anna’s situation has shifted. If she takes this pill in her manic state, she could spiral into even more chaos. If she embarrasses Ernesto publicly, he’ll be forced to get rid of her.”
