TimeNovelChapter 414: "I said get out!" Charlee snapped.
Joanna was shocked. Charlee marched out and told the servants to pack Joanna's stuff.
Joanna felt like her world was crumbling. She trembled and then broke down, defeated. She couldn't fathom what she'd done wrong.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe was only trying to protect her marriage, to get rid of the woman who was after her husband. What was so wrong with that? Why did everyone think she was in the wrong? She couldn't be wrong.
Overwhelmed by emotions, Joanna felt broken. She stood up and stormed out of the study.
Joanna caught Charlee in the act, ordering the servants to remove her belongings, Charlee's face a mask of anger. Charlee was fuming. She didn't actually want her daughter to leave. But she saw Joanna standing there, cold and unrepentant.
Charlee hardened her heart. Joanna needed a wake-up call, or she'd end up in serious trouble one day. Charlee couldn't bear the thought.
Charlee's voice rose sharp with anger. "Get rid of all her things! I don't want to see a trace of her in this house by this afternoon! I don't give a damn where she goes. After what she's done, she wouldn't dare show her face here anyway. I refuse to acknowledge her as my daughter!" Charlee's words were cut short by a sudden shove from behind, sending her tumbling to the floor with a cry of surprise.
Elsewhere, Kallie watched Jake, stubborn as ever. She understood he was not going to leave. She took a deep breath, her patience wearing thin. It was tto lay down the law.
"So you're not leaving, huh?" Kallie said, her voice tight. "Fine. Then Sophie and I will head out." Jake remained silent, his gaze on Kallie tinged with hurt.
Edgar cleared his throat. "Here's the situation, Ms. Nixon: Mr. Reeves is without alternatives for accommodation in Burmoos." "What?" A faint smirk crossed Kallie's lips. "Isn't it a bit ridiculous for you to make such a claim?" Edgar wiped the sweat from his brow and continued with a blank expression.

While the Reeves family didn't dare to discipline him harshly, they are set on uncovering his true identity. Assuming the identity of Mr. Jack is his best shield. He can't afford to lose it. Now, every hotel and property agency in Burmoos has directives from the family. Should anyone lease a property, it must be reported immediately to the Reeves family. They've arranged surveillance for any new tenants." Kallie scowled. "You takefor a fool? How could Stan manage that? Every day, countless people check into hotels or rent properties." Edgar put on a serious face. “But he does manage it. You should recognize the influence the Reeves family wields in Burmoos. Don't believe me? Go ahead and test it out. Stan probably knows everything about you by now."
For a moment, Kallie was at a loss for words. While Stan could not have been the sharpest at running a m company, she had to acknowledge that his network of informants was extensive. After all, Stan had set Jake up back then. Surely, Stan possessed capabilities.
Yet, Kallie didn't want to relent. "I still don't see why Jake should stay with me. I've crossed the Reeves family. How is that my concern?"
Just then, Sophie, who had been silent until now, chimed in, "Mommy, an the woman who kidnappedmentioned her son's last nwas Reeves." "Reeves?" Kallie glanced at Jake, bewildered.
Jake appeared somewhat defeated as he explained, "Dean has a mistress and a son on the side, though he has never really been competent."
