Chapter 236



To further expel Bria’s doubts, Ewing added, “Didn’t I mention that we should scrutinize everyone who comes here? I don’t intend to blame this suspect, but it might be best to send her away immediately.”

Her guard lowered, Bria responded with a warm smile, “Her past was filled with hardships. She was once a wanderer. Now that she’s with me, she’s made a fresh start. Perhaps we should give her a chance. How much did she take from you? I’ll pay it back.”

“Forget it,” Ewing grumbled. “Just make sure she stays out of my sight from now on. Her mere presence irritates me.”

With a smile still on her face, Bria watched as Ewing left her room. After exiting, Ewing sighed heavily. What was Bria really planning? He hoped it wasn’t what he suspected. Yet, things were becoming increasingly complicated.

The butler, confused, inquired, “Why didn’t you just bring the woman back? Miss Nixon might be scheming something, but she’s still intimidated by you.”

With a scoff, Ewing replied, “She suffers from a heart condition. It’s risky to confront her directly. We must proceed cautiously. Besides, I only asked you to pose a question to her, and she swiftly hid that woman. I’m not sure what might happen if I press further. But for now, at least we know where she is.”

Tyrone’s birthday party arrived in no time. Kallie completed the birthday present the night before and showed it to Bria, who seemed pleased.

“Looks great. You’ve clearly got skills. You must have had thorough training, and your relationship with Hayden must be pretty intricate.” Though Bria’s words were full of praise, she gazed at Kallie with a glint of ulterior motive. A trace of inquiry flickered in her eyes as she studied Kallie.

Kallie quickly explained as she typed on the phone. “I only learned from Hayden for a short time. He probably doesn’t even remember me.”

“Really?” Bria raised an eyebrow and said nothing more.

Bria was caught up with Tyrone’s birthday party preparations. Once she finished tidying up, she hurried to the hotel. It was the most opulent hotel in Burmoos. To make a lasting impression on Tyrone, Bria had rented out the entire building. Even Roderick’s grand birthday celebration years ago had only warranted the top ten floors.

In Ewing’s view, keeping the birthday party warm and simple would have been wiser. Hearing about Bria’s extravagant style left him speechless and fuming.

Ewing’s assistant leaned in and whispered, “Miss Nixon has invited every prominent family in Burmoos, extending invitations to all, even those who aren’t acquaintances. It feels more like her party than Tyrone’s.”

Ewing ground his teeth together. “If I weren’t buried in work, I’d have never allowed her to pull this off. Forget it. The invitations are already out, and there’s no stopping them now. Despite the Nixon family’s wealth and influence, the operations have been mainly abroad. We’re not well-acquainted with many of the local rich families. If things aren’t handled delicately, it could ruffle some feathers.”

Ewing sighed. “From your perspective, the Nixon family might seem prosperous, but things are complicated. Make sure to remind everyone not to cross the Reeves family, and if possible, try to build a closer relationship with the Hayes family.

If Bria is throwing a party like this, things might likely go awry. But it’s a good opportunity for us, as I can use the chaos to my advantage and find someone.”
