?<strong>Chapter 483:</strong>
“You im you were here to meet a client, but shouldn’t you know your client’s name and what they look like beforehand? Didn’t it strike you that this wasn’t the person you were supposed to meet?” Jenny questioned, her voice filled with frustration.
Caught off guard, Kallie was at a loss for words. Lately, she had been so overwhelmed that she hadn’t noticed a thing. The director had merely informed her that the other party wished to remain anonymous until they met face-to-face. This was why she had chosen to reserve this particr room.
As Kallie remained silent, Jenny felt like she had caught Kallie’s weakness and smirked victoriously. “Kallie, if you’ve messed up, just own up to it. I’ll give you a chance to make things right, but you need to apologize to both me and my fan.”
The man next to Jenny nodded eagerly. “Exactly, apologize to us. My reputation would have been destroyed if Jenny hadn’t shown up when she did.”
“Why should I apologize?” Kallie retorted, her voice steady. “The front desk and security are on their way. It’ll soon be clear who’s in the wrong.”
Kallie remainedposed while Jenny and the man exchanged nces. Without warning, the man seized Kallie’s wrist and pulled her toward the room. “Fine. Let’s wait for them. But you’re not getting away. We’re going to settle this today. Come inside and exin yourself.”
Jenny shoved Kallie forward, adding, “If you’re innocent, prove it. Come in andy it all out.”
Kallie panicked and struggled. She wasn’t naive; she knew the implications of being forcibly taken into the room. She couldn’t rify things right then. However, the two of them, one in front and one behind, tried to push Kallie in forcefully.
“What’s going on?” At that moment, a cold male voice pierced the crowd from behind.
With every step closer, a familiar chill and aura of authority washed over them. Jenny instinctively turned around, her eyes widening in surprise. She hadn’t expected to encounter Jake here.
Jenny’s mind raced. Had Jake seen her live broadcast yesterday and decided to show up intentionally? It seemed likely. Jake’s peculiar personality meant he probably regretted sending her away previously. As she entertained this thought, she rxed her hold.
Seizing the moment, Kallie managed to break free from the two. Jake rushed over to them.
Jenny quickly approached him, beaming, “Hey, you made it!” But Jake didn’t stop. He just walked right past Jenny.
Jake rushed over to Kallie and took her hand gently. Despite wearing a mask, his eyes betrayed his concern. “Are you okay? Sorry. This is my fault. I shouldn’t have beente. Please don’t be mad. Go ahead and scold me. Just don’t shut me out.”
Kallie pulled her hand away and scoffed. “Mr. Jack, haven’t you noticed? Miss Patterson seems eager to catch up with you. I’ll leave you to it.”

Jake quickly grabbed Kallie’s hand, stopping her. Always mindful of his words around her, he said carefully, “Kallie, something held me up. I apologize. And Miss Patterson, you said? Who is she, exactly? I don’t recall.”
At his words, Jenny’s stance faltered, and she swayed slightly. Her face drained of color, yet she persisted, stepping closer. “Sir, it’s me. You’re the one who rescued me the other day. You brought me into your home. You should know who I am. Did Miss Nixon speak ill of me to you? I’ve been curious about why you drove me off that day.”
Jenny’s misleading words confused her audience in the live broadcast.
