Chapter 314



With that, Kallie turned her full attention to Sophie, effectively dismissing Bria’s snobbery.

Caught off guard by Kallie’s composed response, Bria faltered for a moment, her facade slipping into a pout. Bria looked at Jennifer with a hint of urgency. “Jennifer, look at her! It’s hard enough to choose a proper gift for Ewing, and I’m worried Kallie might pick out what I want later.”

Jennifer, visibly upset, approached Kallie with a stern look. “You’re not satisfied just taking Bria’s things, and now you want to take the gift she intends for Ewing as well? Ever since you came back, the relationship between Bria and Ewing has deteriorated. It seems it’s all because of you!”

Jennifer didn’t stop there, her tone growing colder with her accusation. “What’s your stake here, Kallie? You’re an outsider, yet you linger around the Nixon family, brewing nothing but discord.”

Kallie’s calm was unruffled as she looked up at Jennifer. “I’m curious, Jennifer, in what ways am I the troublemaker you describe?”

Jennifer replied immediately, her demeanor stern, “The Nixon family was whole and content before you entered the picture. Bria’s always been in delicate health and was always treasured by Tyrone and Ewing. My husband and Abram managed well together. But once you stuck around my family, we’re fragments. Your influence is undeniable.”

Ignoring Jennifer’s accusations, Kallie smiled slightly, stepping past her to address Bria directly. “Interesting. So, this is the narrative you’ve spun for Jennifer.”

Both Ewing’s and Tyrone’s disdain for Bria stemmed from her unexplained hostility against Kallie. Beyond that, their disappointment deepened when Bria chose to get involved with Klein and others’ schemes.

Despite everything, Ewing was far from mean to Bria. After all, they were cousins.

Yet, Bria, having known Abram’s ambition to usurp Ewing’s position, did not object to being a pawn in Abram’s grand schemes.

Kallie wrestled with doubts. Jennifer was Ewing’s mother. Was Jennifer really oblivious to the discreet fights within the Nixon family, or did she side with Abram out of spite against her?

Silence enveloped the room.

Jennifer’s frustration brewed into a tempest. She was acutely aware of the rifts within the Nixon clan, especially the strained relationship between her family and Abram’s. She found the family’s discord senseless and blamed Kallie for this. Upon Kallie’s return, Jennifer felt Kallie became the focal point of her husband’s and son’s attention, overshadowing Bria. In Jennifer’s eyes, Bria had been doted on by the whole family due to her delicate condition since she was a child. Oblivious to the truth, Jennifer felt the mistreatment Bria had endured unfairly, courtesy of Kallie, was overlooked by everyone else.

Overwhelmed by these thoughts, Jennifer’s patience snapped. She waved her hand dismissively as she turned to the guards around. “Enough waiting. Get this woman out now. This VIP room was reserved for Bria and me. What is this woman even doing here?”

The guards exchanged unsure glances before approaching Kallie, signaling for her to exit.

Amidst the unfolding drama, Sophie’s eyes sparkled with curiosity.

Kallie, however, stood her ground. Setting Sophie aside, she declared icily, “This VIP room was meant for me. It’s only open today because I arrived late, and you took over.”
