?<strong>Chapter 847:</strong>


    ‘It’s done, Jete.


    There’s no use beating around the bush.


    We haven’t done anything wrong anyway.


    We’re simply opening her eyes to the truth about Kallie.


    We’re doing her a favour, don’t you see?’


    Jete nodded slowly and then added hesitantly, ‘Lacey, I don’t want to see Jake at home.


    I can’t look him in the eye, and I can’t seem to shake an ufortable feeling.’


    Lacey’s eyes hardened.


    ‘We did the right thing.


    There’s no reason for you to feel ufortable, and I don’t want to hear you say that again,’ she stated firmly.


    Jete had never seen Lacey so stern before, and her eyes filled with tears.


    She felt wronged.


    But fearing Lacey’s wrath, she said no more.


    Jete looked down, with mixed feelings.


    Earlier, after giving Kallie the ss of water that had been tampered with, Jete felt a little regretful.


    But it was toote for regrets, because someone had already taken yton.


    What puzzled Jete was that, as she hurriedly ran outside, she collided head-on with yton.


    yton simply looked at her coldly and did not ask anyone to stop her.


    Jete hesitated, but finally told Lacey what had happened.


    Lacey found it strange, too.


    ‘Oddly enough, yton didn’t do anything at the time, and even now he hasn’t tried to find you. He must be up to something.’


    Jete looked at Lacey curiously.


    ‘Lacey, what do you mean ‘up to something’?’


    Lacey didn’t answer Jete’s question.


    She just smiled and patted her head as if the storm had passed.


    ‘Jete, you really helped me a lot. Let’s get something to eat and y for a while before we head back.’


    Jete, still a child, didn’t dwell too much on the previous events and spent a pleasant afternoon with Lacey.


    Once home, they overheard Jake talking on the phone.


    It sounded like he was trying to find someone who could get him ess to Kallie’s charity.


    Suddenly, Lacey felt nervous and didn’t know exactly why.


    What was Jake nning, was he still looking for the truth, was Kallie so important to him that he would risk exposure just to talk to her? This had to stop.


    If he didn’t act fast, everything he’d done would be exposed.


    Kallie would definitely reveal everything Jete had done.


    A wave of dread swept over Lacey.


    What would happen then? Her worry grew with each passing second.


    She squeezed Jete’s hand tightly, her fear gripping her.


    ‘Lacey, you’re hurting me,’ Jete eximed, snapping Lacey out of her thoughts.


    The noise of their altercation attracted the attention of Jake, who was still talking on the phone inside.
