Chapter 267: Courtney looked back at Stan, her eyes wide with surprise. "Mr. Reeves, shouldn't we proceed tomorrow? Rushing it could expose you." Trying to contain his rising anger, a rare display for him, Stan glowered at Courtney and snapped, "Just do what I tell you! How dare you question my orders! And remember, I know about your actions the other day." Stan's menacing stare intensified as he finished speaking.

A chill ran down Courtney's spine. She realized Stan must have discovered she didn't kill Kallie.

Courtney understood that her continued usefulness was the only reason Stan hadn't disposed of her yet. Despite this, a part of Courtney held on to a hint of hope, or perhaps, wishful thinking on her part. Maybe, just maybe, Stan might have a soft spot for her after the years she had spent by his side.

With these thoughts swirling in her head, Courtney turned and walked away. Behind her, Stan's gaze followed, laden with lethal intent.

Just then, Jake instructed Edgar to start the car, and out of nowhere, Sarah appeared.

When Sarah saw Jake's car, she hurried over and knocked on the window.

"Jake." Her eyes filled with concern, she asked, "Are you sure you don't want to stay in the hospital for your mother? My gut says Dean and... Well, that mysterious man. I suppose they are plotting something. They might target your mother. It's safer if you stay to keep an eye on them." Jake stifled the revulsion swirling within him and managed a weak smile. “No matter their plans, I need to get srest." Sarah's face fell at his words, her voice tinged with disappointment. "But Jake.....” Before Sarah could finish, Jake instructed Edgar to drive off.

As the car pulled away, Sarah stamped her foot in frustration.

Originally, the deal was between Stan and the Miller family, with the condition that Stan helped Sarah win Jake's affection.

Eager, Sarah had leapt at the opportunity.

As twent on, Sarah belatedly discovered the true intentions of Stan and his supporters. They were after Jake's position and his life.

Realizing her grave mistake, Sarah bitterly understood that even if she confessed the whole story todake, stressing she didn't mean to harm him and her sense of insecurity clouded her mind, Jake would surely break up with her. Betrayal was what Jake despised most. Besides, Sarah was well aware of Jake's capabilities. Jake wouldn't let her off the hook if he uncovered her wrongdoings.

Though disheartened by the inevitable breakup with Jake and his retaliation, Sarah was delighted that Dean assured her parents that the Miller family would be rewarded if they succeeded this time.
