She reviewed the document her team had compiled. While the Reeves Group appeared stable in business, the frequency and nature of the mistakes suggested a troubling trend. In other words, the group was declining, possibly heading toward bankruptcy. Without Jake, the Reeves Group seemed formidable only in appearance, like a lion stripped of its claws and teeth, more a sacrificial lamb than a predator.

Her assistant inquired, “Should we take action against the Reeves Group based on the information we've gathered?" Kallie shook her head, her smile unwavering. "Bringing down the Reeves Group is a piece of cake, but that's not my aim. I solely want to reclaim what rightfully belongs to me. Besides, why should I bother with ruining the Reeves Group?" As Kallie massaged her temples, a sudden thought struck her. "Who's currently leading the Reeves Group?" "Stan. He was once considered an outsider due to his illegitimate parentage, but he's been acknowledged by the Reeves family." A spark of interest lit Kallie's eyes. "Reach out to him. I'd like to have dinner with him tonight." The assistant frowned, uncertain, “That might be challenging. Since he took office, he's avoided public appearances, and private meetings are even rarer."

As evening descended, Kallie made her appearance punctually, though with a slight hint of difficulty in her stride. "I apologize for my tardiness, Mr. Reeves. I encountered sissues en route, and it's somewhat difficult forto walk," she explained upon entering the reserved private room. Despite her apology, her demeanor exuded confidence.
Stan, whom she hadn't seen for years, hadn't changed much. He still wore a mask, covering half of his face, which was handsand fair as she remembered. His eyes, warm and misleading, could easily make one forget the darker deeds he had done.
Kallie vividly recalled a twhen she nearly lost her life at his hands. Yet, as if the past had evaporated Stam stood and extended his hand warmly. "I've heard much about you. I'm flattered you chose to meet an old friend likenot long after your return."
Kallie smiled faintly. "You're being modest, Mr. Reeves. In Burmoosn everyone knows your name. I haven't forgotten those days you had takenaway."
