Chapter 740

Keely shrugged. It wasn’t her problem.

Keely gave Kallie a pitying look and gestured toward the house. “Please come in. Miss Morgan only wants to see you.” Kallie stood her ground. “Tell her to come out here,” she said firmly. “I’ll wait. If she refuses, I’ll call the police. She wouldn’t want to cause a scene, would she?”

Keely laughed. “Miss Nixon, Miss Morgan’s already caused a scene. You think she’s afraid of the police? Don’t forget she’s mentally unstable. Even if she killed someone, you couldn’t touch her.”

Though furious, Kallie knew Keely was right. “Fine,” she said through gritted teeth. “I’ll go in.”

Keely led Kallie toward the house. Before going inside, Kallie glanced back at Jake.

Jake watched them go, his hands clenching into fists. Trailing behind Keely, Kallie stepped into a dimly lit room that resembled a basement.

Straining her ears, Kallie detected the distinct gurgling of water.

She didn’t expect a hidden door to be concealed within the basement walls.

Keely pushed the door open, revealing a lengthy passage that stretched into darkness.

Cara had no fear of Kallie discovering her hideout. No one would ever suspect such a place.

As they ventured deeper into the passage, the narrow confines gradually gave way to a larger expanse. It resembled a cavernous chamber, hidden deep beneath the earth.

An underground river flowed through the cave, its waters churning and swirling with ferocious energy. Suspended above the raging current were two bound figures.

Kallie’s heart sank as she recognized the captives as Elma and Sophie. Both girls were blindfolded, their fates uncertain. Sophie showed signs of life, but Elma’s limp figure and lifeless posture filled Kallie with dread. Kallie wondered if Elma was still alive.

A wave of terror washed over Kallie, her heart pounding in her chest.

A chilling touch suddenly fell upon Kallie’s shoulder, sending a jolt of fear through her. Goosebumps erupted across her skin as a wave of fear coursed through her.

Whirling around, Kallie found herself face to face with Cara, a sinister smile twisting Cara’s lips.

Cara’s appearance had drastically changed in a matter of days. Her face was gaunt and pale, her eyes sunken. Her eyes were devoid of warmth, as cold and lifeless as ice. A terrifying blend of madness and malice burned within them. They held a chilling, otherworldly quality, like the eyes of a vengeful spirit returned from the depths of hell.

Kallie shuddered, instinctively retreating from Cara’s chilling presence.

“Kallie, didn’t I warn you against crossing me?” Cara hissed, her voice low and menacing.

Cara’s eyes remained cold, piercing Kallie with their intensity.

Cara continued, her voice dripping with venom, “Look at those two girls hanging above the river. Their suffering is entirely your fault.”

Hearing Cara mention the kids, Kallie was snapped out of her fear. She lunged forward, gripping Cara’s shoulders with desperate urgency. “If you have a grievance, take it up with me! They’re just innocent children!”

Cara violently shrugged off Kallie’s grasp. “Innocent?” She scoffed. “What makes them so innocent?”

Before Kallie could retort, a bodyguard materialized and seized her, pinning her arms behind her back. A chair was swiftly brought forward for Cara.
