Kallie, just beside Tariq Lane, overheard the conversation between Sherry Lane and Tariq Lane. She felt wronged: "Your sister pushes all the blame on me, making it look like I'm seducing you? In these years, it's clear that you're the one pursuing me."
Sherry's words were so full of it that Kallie no longer believed she couldn't enter the Lane family household.
Once she married Tariq, Sherry should know that no one could control Tariq's future, not even his sister.
Tariq pushed Kallie away and went to the balcony for a smoke. He was worried about Cecelia Anderson's injury, but he also felt too ashamed to see her.
Kallie saw him lost in thought again and knew he was thinking about Cecelia. She couldn't help but clench her fists.
Soon after, Edward Anderson arrived with Howard Davis at Tariq's villa.
The moment Kallie saw Edward, she was somewhat dazed. Her heart still fluttered for this man, but Edward's coldness and indifference made her see the reality.
