?<strong>Chapter 743:</strong>


    Cara gave a bitter, resigned smile. “It’s futile. You don’t truly love me. The moment you find a chance to leave me, you won’t hesitate to walk away.”


    Determined not to be the only one suffering, Cara dered, “I want us all to feel this pain together.”


    As Caraughed, herughter twisted into sobs. She couldn’t fathom why she was the only one left devastated. Why was happiness granted to everyone but her?


    Jake continued his approach toward Cara, subtly signaling to Kallie.


    Kallie caught Jake’s hint and shifted her gaze, noticing yton approaching with his men discreetly.


    As Cara was about to turn, Jake grasped her shoulder, handing her a knife. “This is my escape tool. Now, it’s yours. I can’t escape anymore.”


    Cara clutched the knife, her eyes darting between hope and desperation. She implored, “Jake, tell me, is there really no ce for me in your heart? Not even a trace of affection?”


    Jake stated resolutely, “I never felt a thing for you.” At this point, there was no point in deceiving Cara any further.


    At that moment, yton and his men had approached and had already picked up Elma.


    yton tried to lead Kallie away, but she resisted, her attention fixed on Sophie, still in peril.


    yton caught her nce and silently assured her that he would handle Sophie’s rescue.


    As Kallie wavered, a chilling sound snapped her attention back. It was the sound of a knife slicing through flesh.


    Kallie turned to see Cara wildly stabbing Jake, blood spilling profusely.


    Kallie watched in horror, but dared not cry out as Jake staggered and copsed.


    Cara stared at her bloodied hands, first in shock, then with manicughter. “See, Jake, if you had loved me, none of this would have happened. It’s all your fault, all of you!”


    Finally, yton’s team had managed to free Sophie, but themotion drew Cara’s attention.


    Cara spun around to find her brother not locked away, but actively rescuing Kallie and her children.


    Furious, Cara screamed, “Bitch!” and charged at Kallie with the knife.


    yton immediately shielded Kallie behind him.


    But before Cara could get close, Jake mustered his remaining strength, stood up, and embraced Cara to stop her from harming Kallie. As they struggled, both teetered toward the edge. They lost their bnce and fell into the turbulent underground river below.


    “Jake!” Kallie cried out as the world around her seemed to fall silent.


    Kallie’s mind buzzed as Jake tumbled into the underground river, too shocked to process anything else.


    Without thinking, Kallie shoved yton aside and dashed forward in an attempt to reach Jake. However, she was toote. By the time Kallie got there, all she could do was watch helplessly as the river slowly consumed Jake.


    A deep, soul-tearing pain surged through Kallie. Jake could havee up, but Cara was clutching one of his hands too tightly.
