?<strong>Chapter 858:</strong>


    ‘Mr. Reeves, you’re still as perceptive as ever in figuring it out so quickly.’


    A surge of anger surged through Jake before fading into helplessness. He had maintained his pride for so many years, but here he was, backed into a corner. Despair and confusion washed over him for a moment, but he quickly hid them.


    ‘Let me guess. You’ve been following me all this time. And now that you’ve found me, you n to kill me for Kallie, right?’


    yton nodded slowly and then shook his head. He took a step forward, a yful smile on his lips.


    ‘Partly because of her. But mostly because you know too much. If you go back to her, could you really resist telling her I cheated on her?’


    Jake lifted his chin, his voice steady.


    ‘Of course I’d tell her. You’re maniptive and backstabbing. You shouldn’t be anywhere near her.’


    yton’s eyes darkened for a moment, but then his smile twisted into something more sinister.


    ‘Exactly. That’s why I can’t let anyonee between me and Kallie.’


    Jake clenched his fists.


    ‘Not even if you kill me, she’ll see right through you sooner orter. Don’t think she’s na?ve.’


    yton clicked his tongue, almost amused.


    ‘So, tell me, Mr. Reeves, can you guess why I showed up here so suddenly, or how my men found you so quickly?’


    Jake’s gaze narrowed as yton continued.


    ‘The moment she saw you, she gave the signal to my men. Your attendance at that foundation event? It was all a ruse to lure you in. She doesn’t love you anymore. She loves me.’


    Jake’s clenched fists shook slightly, but he kept hisposure.

    ‘You’re lying. After all these years, even if she doesn’t love me anymore, she wouldn’t betray me.’


    Jake remembered when Kallie had been so cruelly bullied. Through it all, she never med him. After so many years together, Jake and Kallie understood each other without words. He could believe she no longer loved him. But if someone told him she wanted him dead, he wouldn’t believe it.


    yton watched him, impassive.


    ‘Have you ever wondered how I knew you’d be here? How I captured you so quickly?’


    That was the part Jake couldn’t figure out. Only a few people knew about his schedule. If yton had discovered his schedule and tracked him here, why had he waited until now to act?


    Jake struggled with his doubts, but in the end, he decided to trust Kallie.


    ‘I’m defeated, trapped by you today. I know I won’t make it out alive. So, if you’re going to kill me or torture me, do it now.’


    Jake narrowed his dark eyes. Even cornered, he maintained an air of defiance, his cool gaze radiating authority. He looked at yton with a hint of mockery.


    ‘You better make sure I die today. Because if Ie back, it’ll be your turn.’


    Neal, who had apanied yton, clenched his fists in anger, eager to prove his worth.


    ‘How arrogant you are! Mr. yton, let me teach you a lesson.’
