StarNovelChapter 1089:
Kelsey wasn’t a strategist—never had been. She'd leaned on Jacob’s quiet guidance for years. And now, with
everything on the line, she was talking from emotion, not logic.
Jacob lightly patted her hand. “We can’t jump into this blind. We don’t even know where Carrie stands. If the
Morrisons are keeping her in the dark, great—we’ve got something to work with. But if she’s in on it... that's a
whole other mess.”
Kelsey frowned, a flicker of doubt in her eyes. “She probably doesn’t know. | mean, why would she have come
with us to the hospital for a check-up today if she did?”
Jacob let out a quiet sigh. “You're still too trusting. We barely know her.”
“But back on the roadside,” Kelsey insisted, “she didn’t even know who we were—and she still helped us...” She
trailed off, more hopeful than convinced.
Deep down, she didn’t fully believe Carrie was that kind—but she wanted her to be. It was easier to believe in
kindness when your life might depend on it.
Jacob's expression turned cold. “You think she just happened to cback to Isonridge from sbackwater
town? Con. She’s smarter than that. She's got layers. Even people like Mother and Josh—once they walk
away from their family name—they’re nobodies.”

To him, only Kelsey was truly good and innocent.
He continued, voice sharp, “People fake it so long they start believing their own act. And look—when she helped
us before, what did it cost her? Nothing. A simple gesture in front of an audience. She’s not just sheiress—
she’s a celebrity. She's always got cameras around. Helping a random couple on the street? That's just PR gold.”
Kelsey's shoulders slumped. His words had finally gotten through. “So what you're saying is... even if we find
her, it won't make a difference?”
Before he could answer, she added quietly, “Who'd risk their health to help a cousin they haven't seen in twenty
years, anyway?”
Jacob's eyes darkened, a flicker of something ruthless passing through. “The real problem isn’t Carrie—it’s the
Morrisons. We can’t take them head-on. But we can cut her off from them. Once she’s out from under their
wing... she’s just another celebrity.”
Jacob's suggestion sent a spark through Kelsey's eyes. Without hesitation, she caught his hand and grinned. “You
sound like you've already cooked up something. Are you working on a plan?”

Leaning in, Jacob narrowed his gaze and answered, “For the Morrison family, nothing matters more than their
place in the Music Association. Think about it—if Carrie suddenly couldn’t perform anymore, what would become
of their status?”
Inside the Morrison family home...
As soon as Carrie walked through the door, she let out a loud “Achoo!”—a sudden sneeze catching her off guard.
A nearby servant hurried over, concern etched on her face. “Did you really go out by yourself? The
temperature’s dropped. Letbring you an extra coat.”
