Chapter 607



Jake allowed Kallie to lean against him, shouldering most of her weight. This way, they could move faster. Kallie watched as Clayton helped a pregnant woman aboard the yacht.

Kallie’s eyes widened in surprise. It seemed she wasn’t the only expectant mother trapped in this situation. How many heinous acts had the Perry family committed?

When they finally reached the yacht, Kallie hurried on board. But she noticed Jake had no intention of joining her.

“We are leaving together. Hurry up and get on!” Kallie’s voice trembled with anxiety as she reached out to Jake.

Jake shook his head firmly, determination etched on his face. In a swift motion, he rushed up and embraced Kallie, taking care not to hurt her.

Jake kissed Kallie. The kiss was quick but passionate.

Kallie’s eyes widened as something dawned on her. Tears streamed down her face as she stared at Jake, her chest tightening with emotion.

Jake forced a smile and said, “I can cause all this chaos on this island, and surely, I can easily get away. But I have to stay behind to cover your escape. If I don’t, the Perry family will hunt us down and kill everyone to hide the truth. I won’t let them hurt you. Kallie, do you love me?”

Kallie shook her head stubbornly and replied through clenched teeth, “Come with me, and I’ll tell you.”

Jake’s smile softened as his expression lit with happiness. He nodded, saying he understood.

Then, he turned on his heel and vanished into the sea of people.

Anxiety gnawed at Kallie, leaving her feeling utterly powerless. All she could do was move with the tide of the crowd, pushing further inward. Amid the chaos, Jake completely slipped from her sight.

Thankfully, Kallie met Clayton on the yacht. At last, she laid eyes on the woman Clayton had been protecting. The woman bore a striking resemblance to Clayton.

The woman’s anxiety was palpable. She huddled behind Clayton, darting nervous glances at everything and everyone around her.

Clayton waved Kallie over immediately. Once they were together, he guided the two pregnant women below deck.

“I set up a room ahead of time. I didn’t expect to see you. Don’t worry. The room is safe. Even if they search, it will be nearly impossible to find you.”

Kallie fought through her discomfort before finally asking, “Is she your sister?”

Clayton nodded, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. “She disappeared years ago. I poured all my effort into searching for her. Now, at last, I have found her.”

“She was missing for that long?” Kallie gasped, her mind racing. Could it be… She dared not think further.

The Perry family must have targeted Clayton’s sister for her beauty. And it was true. His sister looked as delicate as a porcelain doll.

To think such an innocent girl had been through so much. Kallie couldn’t help but sigh in sorrow.

Clayton’s face clouded with sadness as he gazed at his sister. He quickly turned away, fighting back tears. “But it’s okay now. I have found her, and things will get better. I have gathered enough evidence this time. They will pay for what they did.”

Kallie nodded and said, “I’m willing to testify if you need me to.”
