Hadn’t Kallie abandoned and hurt him? Why did he care only about her? If Kallie had been devoted and kind, she might have gracefully accepted the truth. However, from what Lacey had observed, it was clear Kallie harbored darker intentions, maliciously spreading rumors of Jake’s supposed death to erase his existence.

Gradually, Lacey calmed herself, firmly believing that Jake would one day recognize her virtues.

Pondering her next move, Lacey took a deep breath, grabbed her phone, and dialed the number from the business card.

Elsewhere, Kallie noted that the date of the gang leader’s birthday celebration was fast approaching. She remained on the move, gathering information about the current leader.

So far, all she had uncovered was that the gang, founded by the current leader’s predecessor, was called the Snow Gang. The current leader, Cody Hopkins, originally from Avalon, had somehow ended up abroad. His power had not been self-made but inherited through succession.

The gang, which had once carried different names, was a venerable institution, centuries old, and revered locally, with no one daring to challenge its authority. Cody Hopkins, by some means, had managed to infiltrate the gang, rising through the ranks until the former leader not only approved of him but allowed him to marry his daughter and take control, renaming the gang in the process.

Strangely enough, shortly after Cody married the leader’s daughter, she passed away. While living overseas, Cody surrounded himself with numerous women, most of whom were foreigners. He cohabited with them without ever marrying. Despite his advancing years, he continued to attract many women. It was revealed that Rola and Freya, though sisters, had different mothers, explaining why they didn’t resemble each other.

Besides Rola and Freya, Cody had several other children, yet mysteriously, only Rola and Freya remained by his side. Kallie theorized that Rola and Freya were indispensable to him, which explained their presence. She wasn’t so naive as to believe that Cody’s first wife had merely succumbed to a sudden illness. Having witnessed the darker sides of human nature, Kallie instinctively assumed the worst.

Luckily, Kallie was in her homeland, where most of her business operated. While her influence in Burmoos wasn’t overwhelming, no one dared cross her here.

Suddenly, Elma burst in, holding an invitation letter. “Mommy! A woman just gave me this invitation. She hopes you’ll come.”

Elma handed the invitation to Kallie.

Puzzled, Kallie hadn’t heard of any upcoming events in her circle. But when she unfolded the invitation, she understood.

It was an invitation from the Snow Gang, mentioning a charity event that would attract the elite from Burmoos. The event was designed to mix and make connections. It also conveniently coincided with Cody’s upcoming birthday, making it the perfect prelude.

The invitation exuded politeness, written in sincere and courteous words.

However, Kallie, recalling the rumors of Cody’s questionable activities overseas, found the term “charity event” on the invitation laughably ironic. His real goal was networking, not philanthropy.

Kallie had no interest in mingling with such characters. Yet, skipping the charity event might make her presence at his birthday celebration alongside Clayton seem disingenuous. So, she decided to discuss it with Clayton first.
