Chapter 1204:

The video, provided by the butler, captured the front entrance of the estate on the day of the explosion. It clearly showed Lacey leaving the house, her timing strikingly coincidental. Yet, in the footage, her demeanor was calm, almost cheerful.

Leo’s brows furrowed as he glanced back at Jake.

“What does this mean, Mr. Reeves?”

Jake met his gaze steadily.

“Think about it. Does Lacey strike you as someone who can stay so composed while carrying out something so sinister?”

Leo shook his head. Lacey often wore her emotions on her sleeve, an open book in most situations. This made her ill-suited for the position of Jake’s wife, in his eyes.

Jake leaned back, his voice thoughtful.

“Exactly. If she were guilty, why would she appear so unaffected when heading out? We might be overthinking this. Still, there are other possibilities we can’t ignore.”

A shadow passed over Jake’s expression.

“I don’t trust Lacey completely, but right now, our focus should be on others—especially Clayton and Sarah.”

Leo nodded, accepting the direction of Jake’s suspicions.

Meanwhile, Kallie worked meticulously with the evidence at her disposal, piecing together the truth. All signs pointed to Sarah as the culprit.

The police soon reached the same conclusion. The evidence was irrefutable, and Sarah’s possession of incriminating items sealed her fate.

To everyone’s shock, Sarah confessed outright.

When Kallie received word of this, anger surged through her. But once the initial storm passed, she grew suspicious. Something about the case felt far too simple.

Determined to uncover the truth, Kallie arranged to meet Sarah in prison.

When they met, Sarah was a shadow of her former self, her proud demeanor reduced to a fragile shell. No one would have guessed that the once-glorious daughter of the Miller family would end up like this. Seeing Kallie, Sarah gave a faint smile, her lips twisting into something unsettling.

“Are you here to mock me? Don’t bother. I don’t want to live anyway. At least, I managed to hurt you before my ultimate demise. That’s enough for me.”

Kallie observed Sarah quietly, her expression unreadable.

Sarah’s eyes blazed as Kallie remained silent. Her voice grew louder, frenzied, as she launched into a tirade. All of her resentment, her failures, and her pain were poured out onto Kallie, whom she blamed for it all.

Finally, Kallie spoke, her tone steady and calm.

“Sarah, you didn’t do this, did you?”

Sarah’s rant came to an abrupt halt, her gaze snapping to Kallie.

“What nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I did it! Are you dumb, Kallie? The evidence is overwhelming, and you’re still doubting it? I hate your guts! I wish you and your children were dead!”

Kallie shook her head, holding Sarah’s piercing gaze.

“I know you, Sarah. You don’t have the resources or the skills to pull this off. What I don’t understand is why you agreed to take the fall for someone else.” Kallie’s voice softened, but her words were sharp.

“I pity you, Sarah. You could have lived a few more years of glory, but you let yourself end up here. What did they promise you? Or was it fear that forced you to take the blame? Either way, none of us win in the end.”

Kallie’s next words were a calculated jab.

“When you’re gone, I’ll make sure to visit your grave every year just to tell you how happy Jake and Lacey are.”

Kallie could tell Sarah had given up on everything except her lingering feelings toward Jake.
