Chapter 273



Unexpectedly, Tyrone spoke up before Kallie could gesture her thoughts. “Kallie, I understand your concerns,” he said gently. “Though we haven’t been acquainted for long, I am still your grandfather. You’re a kind soul. Consider this your home. No one will harm you here, alright?”

Kallie was taken aback and momentarily lost for words. They hadn’t confirmed any blood ties with medical equipment yet. Therefore, chances were that she was not part of the Nixon family. Could it be that Ewing hadn’t talked to Tyrone over this since he feared the impact?

After pondering for a moment, Kallie decided not to dwell on this topic. It seemed wiser to let Ewing handle the talk with Tyrone on this. Moreover, she grappled with words regarding this topic.

As Noemi reported, Bria exploded with fury. She delivered a sharp slap to Noemi. “Had you not made things clear to my grandpa? If you had, why would he insist on sending me away?”

Noemi felt like crying. “I relayed everything to your grandfather just as you instructed, and I even mentioned that Kallie was stirring up trouble. However, once I finished, he became furious and yelled at me.”

Bria responded with a scornful laugh, “Does Kallie, that imposter, actually believe she belongs to the Nixon family? Just wait. I’ll unveil her true identity soon enough.”

Noemi shifted lightly, asking, “Miss Nixon, what’s our next move?”

Bria massaged her temples, a glint of ice passing through her gaze. “What can I do? Ewing is adamant about sending me away. Even feigning illness won’t help. What options are left?”

Just then, a voice from the doorway came. “Miss Nixon, Mr. Nixon asked me to check if you’ve packed all your belongings.”

Fuming, Bria opened the door and plastered a smile. “Go ask Ewing if he’s really going to treat me, his cousin, this way over a woman who isn’t from our family.”

The response came in a calm tone. “Mr. Nixon had expected your question and instructed me to tell you it wasn’t about he felt like doing so, but he needed to do so. Moreover, the woman in question isn’t just anyone. She’s your cousin. Mr. Nixon hopes you’ll refrain from making such comments in the future. If you haven’t finished packing, we’re here to assist.”

Unable to contain her frustration any longer, Bria’s smile vanished. “Get out!” she snarled.

However, Ewing’s subordinate didn’t inch away since the order was to see Bria out today.

Just then, another voice chimed in, “I want to see how Ewing plans to mistreat my sister.”

The rain intensified and thunder rolled.

Suddenly, lightning flashed, startling Kallie.

Tyrone quickly interjected, “It’s going to rain harder. You should head back and rest. Get some sleep. If you need anything, speak to Ewing. He might seem stern, but he’s dependable and manages everything well for the family.”

Kallie nodded, her hand gestures signaling that she found Ewing kind and thoughtful.

Tyrone smiled. “You’re his cousin, after all. If he can’t look after you properly, I’ll be having a word with him about what he’s been up to all this time.”
