PopularNovelChapter 439: Stan's laughter finally subsided. His eyes were now bloodshot and wild. He clenched Kallie's wrist and gritted his teeth.
"Kallie, you're so slick that I almost bought it. But I'm no fool. Guess what I found?" With a sinister grin, Stan pulled out his phone and flashed a photo to Kallie.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe woman in the photo was striking, her smile radiant, with an air of fragile elegance. Her features were a perfect mix of cultural heritages, and her beauty was undeniable. She wore a faint frown, her expression delicate and fragile. She was a stunning beauty, the kind that took your breath away effortlessly.
As Kallie gazed at the woman, a sense of familiarity stirred within her. Stan's voice was smug as he continued, "You can probably guess, but this woman is Anna Watts, an internationally renowned war correspondent. She is also called the 'Pigeon of Peace.' She's the sister of Mr. Jack, the owner of the black market in Yoeloth. Mr. Jack is a decade older than his sister, which puts him close to forty now. But your so-called fiancé doesn't look anywhere near that, does he?" Kallie's mind raced as she struggled to keep her composure. "You can't judge age by appearance alone." Stan sneered, his tone dripping with condescension. "Your point is valid, but I had considered a better plan. I invited her here today. You claimed you saved Mr. Jack's life and got engaged while abroad. Then, let's see if Anna recognizes your fiancé." A wave of panic washed over Kallie. Her hands grew clammy, and her limbs felt numb. Sensing her unease, Stan grinned, pleased with himself. "I've been suspicious of his identity for a while now, but I did see a photo of Jake's corpse at the time. Still, I made arrangements. I made sure to invite Anna here." To Kallie, Stan's smile was that of a devil's. Stan hadn't changed a bit. He was as terrifying as ever. Though he lacked raw power, his cunning was unparalleled.
He stalked his prey from the shadows, waiting patiently for the perfect moment to strike. Even if Stan failed, he would stay lurking in the shadows. Once he had a target in his sights, he never let go. Being hunted by someone like him was worse than living hell.
Sweat beaded on Kallie's palms as she fought the urge to flee from Stan's presence. "It's your call. Just get Anna here. I'm not scared." Kallie threw a glance at Jake. She had done everything in her power and hoped Jake would give Anna a heads-up before it was too late.
Half an hour later, footsteps echoed through the hall. The crowd erupted in cheers.
"Oh my God, it's Anna! What's she doing here?" "Am I seeing things? Is that really Anna?" "You're not mistaken, Anna's even more beautiful in person!" Anna wielded significant international influence due to her efforts in helping those affected by war. On top of that, she had a vast and devoted fanbase. She wasn't just a celebrity; she was also an icon, far beyond the reach of anyone in the entertainment industry.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Anna strode forward, her long, slightly curled hair cascaded down her back. She was dressed simply in short sleeves and pants, but her beauty was undeniable, and her tough demeanor only added to her allure.
Her sunglasses obscured part of her face, but her delicate chin and M perfectly sculpted lips were enough to leave an impression.
Kallie's anxiety spiked. She considered using the chance to approach Anna and give her a m heads-up, but she wasn't sure if it would work. On second thought, she decided against it. Doing so would only backfire, making things worse for Jake.
As Kallie racked her mind for a solution, from the corner of of her eye, she noticed a familiar figure beside Anna. It was Lenny, who had been by Jake's side not long ago.
