?Chapter 1538:

    Seeing Linsey here made Caitlin suspect that Kallie must be nearby as well. After all, she had recently seen photos of Linsey and Kallie traveling together on Instagram.

    Seeing the joy in those photos made Caitlin feel both envious and bitter. Her life had taken a harsh turn, forcing her into the role of yton’s mistress, while Kallie enjoyed a normal, happy family life, free from judgment.

    Caitlin hadn’t expected to run into Linsey and Kallie whileing to this hotel with yton. Now, seeing that they were in distress, she experienced a mix of satisfaction and unease. She questioned whether herck of empathy was too severe.

    yton stood next to Caitlin, observing the van holding Kallie with a stern expression. Yet, he kept his emotions in check. Noticing Caitlin’s conflicted look, he contemted briefly before speaking. “Kallie might be inside there. Caitlin, I know your feelings toward her aren’t warm, but remember, she has Jake. Nothing serious will likely happen to her. But if something does happen, Jake won’t overlook your inaction. What will you do then? What if Jakees after you?”

    Caitlin inhaled deeply, maintaining a coldposure. “Do you want to save her?” She focused solely on this question, disregarding everything else.

    yton was taken aback for a moment, then his face clouded over. “Why would you ask that? I’m only concerned about your well-being.”

    Caitlin dismissed his concerns. “I don’t care about those things. I just want to know if you want to save her.”

    It was clear she sought a definitive answer from yton that day.

    Rubbing his temples, yton took Caitlin’s hand and reassured her, “If you’re against it, I won’t step in. As I’ve told you, my affection for you is unrted to her.”

    Caitlin’s mood visibly lightened upon hearing this. She beamed at yton, then, turning away from the scene involving Kallie, she led him toward the hotel entrance. “The manager is waiting. Let’s not keep him.”

    ytonplied, following Caitlin, though his gaze drifted back to the van several times. After a while, he noticed several cars approaching rapidly and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    However, Caitlin remained oblivious to the escting situation. She was feeling rather pleased with herself, basking in the satisfaction that yton harbored no feelings for Kallie. She was confident that nothing serious would happen to Kallie, given her resourcefulness and the fact that she had Jake as her husband.

    Despite a fleeting moment of concern, Caitlin reassured herself by focusing on the belief that Kallie was indebted to her.

    After wrestling with her thoughts, Caitlin found herself feeling more at ease.

    Meanwhile, as the men began to harass Kallie and Linsey, suddenly, the car windows shattered from an impact outside.

    The scarred man, who had been zealously filming the ordeal, narrowly escaped injury. “Who in the world dares to mess with me?” he shouted angrily as he stepped out of the car.

    But his anger quickly dissipated when he saw who was confronting him.

    Facing him were Jake, the hotel CEO, and the local gang leader.
