?<strong>Chapter 539:</strong>


    Sophie was still upset, but her fear had subsided. She foundfort in her mother’s unwavering support, knowing Kallie would always stand by her and ensure no one could harm her.


    Just then, a man in a suit hurried into the room, beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked distinctly different from the regr staff. Clearly unaware of the ongoingmotion, he scanned the room, his eyes eventuallynding on the box lying on the floor. He wobbled slightly, nearly losing his footing.


    “What… What happened here?” he stammered.


    Saniya quickly stepped forward, eager to exin. “I had the box a moment ago, but this little girl snatched it from me. I lost my grip, and it fell. Please, if my boyfriend asks, I hope you’ll rify what really happened.”


    With a self-satisfied smirk, she nced at Kallie, feeling emboldened by her association with the Reeves family. She believed she was no longer an easy target for anyone to challenge.


    To everyone’s astonishment, the man ignored Saniya entirely. Instead, he turned to Kallie and bowed deeply. “Madam, I deeply apologize for not delivering the box directly to you, which led to this unfortunate mishap. I am at your mercy for any reprimand.”


    A stunned silence fell over the room, leaving everyone frozen in disbelief—none more so than Saniya.


    Breaking the silence, Saniya rushed toward the man, her voice sharp and usatory. “What nonsense are you talking about? Didn’t someone from the Reeves family ask you to give this to me?”


    The man rolled his eyes at her, his patience wearing thin. “The Reeves family? Who gave you that box?” He let out a short, exasperatedugh. “My boss bought this gift for Miss Nixon. He personally asked me to deliver it to her, but I had an emergency and left it here at the filming location. I assumed no one would dare take something so valuable. Clearly, I overestimated some people’s integrity.”


    His words dripped with sarcasm, cutting through Saniya like a de.


    The man had returned to confirm that Kallie had received the gift as intended, only to discover that someone else had imed it. ording to the staff, this woman—Saniya—had confidently nced at the box and dered it a gift from her boyfriend. No one, including the man, had imagined someone would be audacious enough to make such a im.


    Observing Saniya’s assured demeanor, the staff had believed her story without question.


    Originally, the gift was a surprise Jake had nned for Kallie. He had personally selected the jewelry, even having Ruth incorporate unique design details. The bracelet was especially meaningful, featuring two tiny, delicate unicorns, intricately crafted with exquisite charm.


    Now, not only was the surprise ruined, but the precious itemsy shattered.


    The man recounted the entire sequence of events, his tone sharp as he mentioned that his boss could produce the receipt as proof if necessary. Then, turning to Saniya, he said, “If you see the evidence, will you admit to the theft? Because if not, my boss will have no choice but to press charges.”


    Saniya’s confidence crumbled. Her knees grew weak, and a chill ran down her spine as his words echoed in her ears.
