PopularNovelChapter 416: Charlee continued pressing Kallie. Perhaps sensing Kallie's reluctance to meet, Charlee sent another message. "I'm sorry to bother you. I just feel a bit uneasy. It's my fault my daughter turned out this way, despite my best efforts. It is alright if you're busy today. I hope to apologize in person when you're free." Perhaps because they were both single mothers managing on their own, Kallie could empathize with Charlee's plight, which made her feel sympathetic toward Charlee.
Kallie finally texted back, "I'll cto meet you. Could you sendthe address?" Kallie left without informing Jake or Sophie. Given Charlee's delicate position, Kallie preferred not to involve others, feeling it could complicate things. However, Kallie hadn't anticipated running into Lenny on her way out. Lenny hurried over to Kallie, blocking her path. "Don't leave just yet. I need to talk with you." As soon as Kallie noticed the frown on Lenny's face, she could tell he was about to stir up trouble. She wasn't in the mood to argue with him, so she forced a polite smile and said, "Maybe another time. I have something I need to take care of; I'll be heading out." But Lenny, trailing closely behind Kallie, wasn't about to let it go. His tone was stubborn as he said, "No matter what you think, I'm going to say what I need to today. If you don't want to talk to me, then just follow you wherever you go." Kallie sighed, feeling trapped and helpless. Since when did Jake becso patient, even willing to take a rebellious teenager like Lenny under his wing? Judging by Lenny's stubborn demeanor, Kallie had no doubt that he could follow through on his word.
Not wanting to drag things out any longer, Kallie decided it was better to just get it over with. She stopped in her tracks, her expression turning cold. "Alright, go ahead. You've got five minutes. I have something to say to you as well."

He already has someone who's perfect for him. If you really care about him, you'll stop bothering him. You probably don't know this, but when our big boss passed away, he betrothed his daughter to Jake. She even saved his life. They're a perfect match. If it weren't for you, Jake wouldn't have cback; he would have married her." Kallie's brow furrowed at his words. She hadn't expected that Jake would be so highly regarded, even by people abroad. But as she pondered about it, she found it made sense. Jake had attracted a great deal of women's attention since his childhood. Girls smitten with him was no surprise.
Yet Kallie hadn't expected that things between Jake and another woman had progressed to the point of marriage. A strange feeling welled up inside her, and her gaze grew colder. Kallie said, her voice icy, "Listen up, I didn't ask him to concern himself with my issues. If you can persuade him to leavealone and go back, by all means, do it. It's notwho's trying to get close to him. I've told you before that I just want to live a peaceful life.” Lenny, caught off guard and unable to cup with a counterargument, blushed with frustration. He finally stammered, "But... You could just refuse him. If you don't, it looks like you're playing hard to get. I'm warning you: stay away from him." Kallie's patience snapped, and she took a step closer to Lenny. Her approach was enough to make Lenny retreat a few steps, fear flickering in his eyes. "I don't need to prove anything to you," Kallie said coldly. "If you're confident, then go ahead and make him leavealone. Why should I be the one to refuse him? This has nothing to do with me."
Lenny gritted his teeth in frustration and spat out, "Just you wait! My lady will be back soon, and she'll make a mistress like you get what you deserve!
