Jake was momentarily at a loss for words. He gently stroked her hair and replied, "Sweetheart, I need you to take on a very important job today. You must stay here and protect your mom."

Your presence will make her feel better!" Sophie didn't quite grasp Jake's words, but she nodded anyway. Then something struck her, and she beckoned Jake. Jake crouched down, and Sophie, standing on her tiptoes, leaned in to whisper, "Actually, when you're here, my mommy feels better too. When I was napping next to her, she kept uttering your name." Jake feigned a stern expression. "Your mom is right. I should really stop you from watching so many TV shows." With a pout, Sophie grabbed her toys and dashed toward the living room. "You're mean. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm going to see my mom." Jake couldn't help but smile as he watched Sophie run off gleefully. His smile slowly faded as she disappeared from sight.
Edgar expressed his concern. "Sir, if people find out who you are, you can't stay here anymore. Are you sure about your decision?" A shadow passed over Jake's eyes. "This is the only option left. I owe her so much. If this can secure her and Sophie's future peace, then I'm prepared to never see them again." Before heading out, Jake cast several lingering glances back at Kallie's room.

Someone tried to set Kallie up by sending you that video. You were manipulated. No one will blyou for this, Sarah; it's crucial that you realize this soon." Sarah gave Errol a frosty look. "Forget it. Kallie should have been crushed under my heel, yet she dared to humiliate me. I will harbor this grudge forever!"
Errol pointed at Jake. "You know who he is. Are you aware of the risks in crossing him?"
Sarah smirked and shrugged dismissively. "Should I be afraid?h have the Payne family on my side. Should I really fear someone like him?"
Errol's tone turned graver. "This is a joke, Sarah. This man's connections run deeper than you think. He's not someone the Payne family can afford to provoke."
