Chapter 507
Chapter 507:
“No…” Kailey started. Then something crossed her mind. “There’s no point. And you wouldn’t be able to handle him p>
“How would you know that?” Jessica scoffed. “The Blake family isn’t the only powerful one around. Mine isn’t any weaker. If my brother hears about this, I’ll just tell him I was bullied — he won’t let it slide. That’s settled. Wait for my message p>
With that, her confidence surged. She grabbed her bag and headed out the door.
Kailey watched her leave in a rush, heart pounding as the door shut behind her. She had no idea what Lyman had said to Jessica, but from the way Jessica acted, it was clear she knew nothing about the tangled situation. If Jessica confronted Kyson, he would come for her — wouldn’t he?
That night, the sky stretched overhead like a dark curtain. Stars were scattered across it, but there was no moon, and the quiet emptiness felt heavier than usual.
Kyson and Candice had just wrapped up a business gathering. As they walked outside, Candice slipped her arm through his without hesitation. “Kyson, take me home p>
Kyson’s brows tightened. He pulled his arm free and stepped away. “Can’t you get back on your own?” His voice was sharp and clearly irritated.

Candice didn’t mind at all. That edge was exactly what drew her to him. She smiled and raised a brow. “I can’t. So shouldn’t you take me p>
Kyson let out a cold laugh. “Candice, stop clinging to me.” He turned and headed straight for his car.
Candice tried to follow, but Devin stepped in front of her and blocked her path.
“Ms. Lawson, please conduct yourself properly p>
“Properly?” Candice’s expression hardened in an instant. “It’s bad enough your boss treats me like this. Who do you think you are to lecture me? Get lost p>
Devin remained calm. “Mr. Blake doesn’t want you following him. You should go home while it’s still early. It wouldn’t be good if something happened p>
“How dare you p>
Devin offered her a courteous smile, then turned and got into the car. The door closed, and the vehicle drove off.
From a distance, the scene looked almost intimate — like a couple reluctant to part. If they were so unwilling to separate, then why hadn’t they left together?
Jessica scoffed, rolled her eyes, and pressed down on the accelerator as she followed.
As their car crossed the overpass, Devin glanced at the rearview mirror more than once. “Mr. Blake, it looks like someone’s following us p>
Kyson kept his eyes shut. It was impossible to tell whether he had heard.
After a moment, his low voice finally broke the silence. “Pull over once we’re off the overpass p>
“Understood p>
The moment they cleared it, Devin guided the car to the side of the road. The vehicle behind them slowed and stopped as well.
