Chapter 517: Jake had simply instructed his men to handle Jenny. Everyone in his circle knew Kallie was the love of his life, so they showed Jenny no mercy. Nevertheless, Jenny couldn't hold Kallie responsible; she could only curse her own foolishness.
When Jenny saw Jake remove his mask, her eyes widened in shock. Her voice, raspy with disbelief, questioned, "Aren't you supposed to never take off that mask?" Jake merely gave Jenny a cold look and dismissed her. Kallie, too, had no desire to engage with Jenny.

But he refuses to do so around anyone else. If not for my mother, you'd likely never see his face." Jenny felt a pang in her heart upon hearing this. Sophie had clearly said this intentionally. Despite her youth, she was far from stupid.
Tyrone returned, and Sophie eagerly anticipated this moment. Yet, he disregarded everyone. Though Kallie did her best to console Sophie, her spirits remained low. Sophie blamed Jenny for locking Tyrone up and drugging him, making him forget them.
Understanding Sophie's insinuations, Jenny sneered maliciously, "Why so smug? I doubt your mother and Jake will end up together. You deserve to be fatherless." Clap! Kallie slammed her spoon down hard. Her gaze at Jenny was piercing. "Do you really think I wouldn't dare touch you just because you have my grandfather under your control?" Rattled, Jenny sought Tyrone's protection. But before she could reach him, bodyguards blocked her path. Tyrone continued to eat, utterly ignoring Jenny's ordeal. In his world, the only thing that mattered was having Jenny by his side.
Jenny's face first turned red with anger and then paled with fear. She had no other option but to kneel and offer Sophie an apology. When Jenny rose to her feet and surveyed the room, her gaze held nothing but clear resentment and hostility toward the three observers.

Confronted with their ashen complexions, he felt a surge of panic, his first ever. However, Jake soon regained his composure and directed Trent to rush them to the hospital.
As they were leaving, a glint of determination flashed in Jake's eyes. He quickly called Edgar, instructing him to arrive promptly and keep an eye on Jenny.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThanks to their timely arrival at the hospital, Kallie and Sophie would recover after streatment. Yet, Kallie's pregnancy complicated matters; she nearly miscarried. Jake had suspected Kallie was pregnant when he saw her at the hospital earlier that day. However, at that time, her spirits were low, and she showed no desire to see him. Assuming she wanted to terminate the pregnancy, Jake felt a wave of sorrow but respected her decision nonetheless. Lying on the bed, Kallie was in such agony that sweat drenched her, and her face turned ashen. Yet, she clung to Jake's hand, murmuring words without awareness, "My baby. Save my baby."
Jake, clearly rattled, couldn't hold back his disbelief. "Are you sure you want to keep the baby?"
