Chapter 604:
Saniya stared at the pill in Kallie’s hand, uncertainty flickering in her eyes.
Following a prolonged silence, Saniya voiced her concern, “What if we get caught? Your plan is risky.”
Kallie dismissed the worry with a shake of her head. “We won’t be caught. I’ve entrusted you with my child. What good would it do me if you were discovered? I assure you, you won’t get caught.”
Saniya considered this and decided it was logical. With a confident grin, she accepted the pill. “Don’t worry. Once I gain Ernesto’s complete trust, caring for your child will be straightforward.”
Outside, the atmosphere was bustling. The banquet was lavish in every aspect.
Hope flickered in Kallie’s eyes as she said, “I know my time is short, but I long to see this scene once more. Please, take me to the banquet. I’ll keep to myself and won’t be any trouble.”
Saniya hesitated, concerned. “It’s risky. What if you’re hurt by someone accidentally?”
Kallie clutched her stomach, feigning distress. “Can you not fulfill even this simple wish? If not, I must speak to Ernesto.”
Alarmed, Saniya quickly assisted Kallie outside.
The entire island was abuzz with the banquet festivities. Wherever Kallie looked, she saw people enjoying themselves.
Yet, observing the extravagant displays, Kallie felt only revulsion. Inside the banquet hall, no one paid her any attention.noveldrama
As Kallie approached the banquet’s heart, the security detail of the Perry family tightened conspicuously.
Security personnel from the Perry family appeared frequently, underscoring the high level of security. Unexpectedly, Kallie encountered a familiar face.
“Clayton!” she exclaimed, a strange emotion stirring within her.
At the sight of Kallie, Clayton’s surprise was evident. Upon noticing her belly, his expression turned cautious. “Why are you here?” he asked with a note of suspicion.
Kallie managed a serene smile. “I was invited. I’ve heard great things about this island and the grandeur of its banquets, and I wished to see it for myself.”
Clayton looked skeptical, aware that this was neither the time nor the place for more probing questions.
He drew Kallie aside and murmured, “Let’s talk for a moment, and then you should leave quickly. If you’re here against your will, I’ll ensure you’re safely out of here today.” Kallie sensed something.
Observing Clayton’s scanning gaze through the crowd, she realized he was not merely a guest but was on a mission to find someone.
“What does this person look like?” Kallie inquired, offering to help. “I can keep an eye out.”
Clayton offered a fleeting smile and, using the crowd’s movement, gently pushed Kallie aside. They quickly lost each other in the throng.
Looking up, Kallie locked eyes with someone unsettling. It was Griffin. His gaze was menacing, reminiscent of a venomous snake in the shadows, poised to strike. Feeling a shiver, Kallie quickly looked away after brief eye contact.
