?<strong>Chapter 759:</strong>


    While Lacey was preparing lunch, Jete burst into the kitchen, her face alight with excitement.


    Approaching Lacey with a wide grin, Jete eximed, “A really fancy car just pulled into the vige, and it was full of attractive people. They look like they’re searching for someone.”


    Upon hearing this, Lacey’s face took on aplicated expression.


    Jake, still secluded in his room, remained unaware of their conversation.


    Lacey quickly motioned for Jete to lower her voice. “Shh. Let’s keep this from Jake for now.”


    Jete, puzzled, tilted her head. “Why? I thought it might be fun to check it out together. Plus, they seem willing to reward anyone who can help them find this person.”


    Curious, Lacey asked, “Are they searching for a man or a woman?”


    Jete paused, thinking it over. “They’re looking for a man, but it was too crowded to see any photo.”


    Lacey’s hands trembled as she clutched Jete’s shoulders, her voice low and urgent. “Please, don’t mention this to Jake, not until we confirm it.”


    g?lnσν????s﹒??????, the heart of fiction


    Lacey paused, her gaze intense. “There could be people after him, and we have no clue whether their intentions are good or bad. Remember how Jake was badly hurt before? If these people mean harm, it could spell disaster for him.” Lacey still recalled Jake’s severe injuries during their first meeting. Clearly, whoever was after him wielded considerable power.


    Jete nodded, somewhat understanding. “I get it.”


    Despite agreeing, anxiety still gnawed at Lacey. “Why don’t you keep Jakepany for a bit? I need to go check something out.”


    Lacey exhaled a heavy sigh. “If they turn out to be good people, great. Maybe they’re even his family.” Though Lacey hoped for the best, a strange, uneasy feeling lingered in her heart.


    Jete hurried off, and Lacey, losing any interest in making lunch, slipped on a mask and stepped outside.


    Kallie and yton were hard to miss in the crowd.


    Lacey didn’t know them, but something told her they were here for Jake.


    Despite all of Kallie’s searching, there was still no sign of Jake.


    Kallie, looking exhausted, nearly slipped on the muddy terrain, but yton was quick to support her, his tone cautious. “Careful!”


    Their brief moment of closeness was interrupted. Kallie immediately pushed yton away, though she didn’t push hard.


    This movement allowed Lacey to clearly see Kallie’s face. She thought Kallie wasn’t extraordinarily beautiful, but something was captivating about her, something that could steal one’s breath away, particrly her bright, expressive eyes.


    At that moment, concern clouded Kallie’s eyes, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. She had applied just a touch of makeup and dressed in simple attire, her hair loosely pulled back, yet she radiated beauty. Her delicate figure stirred a sense ofpassion.


    The sight of Kallie could evoke pity from another woman, and even more so from a man.


    When Lacey snapped back to reality, she realized her nails had dug deep into her palms, causing pain.
