Chapter 507



“Grandpa Tyrone,” she approached gently. “Now that you’re here, we’ll take good care of you. We won’t bully Jenny, but you have to stay here.”

This thinly veiled warning was directed at Jenny. Jenny visibly disliked the implication. “What are you implying, Kallie? Are you threatening me? If you wish him to forget you forever, proceed. I’ve lost everything already; I just want to ensure your life isn’t comfortable either,” she retorted.

Kallie’s brow furrowed deeply. *What a villain! She snapped inwardly. Now powerless, Jenny could become unpredictable.

Kallie inhaled deeply and then addressed Jenny, “What is it you desire? Provided your demands are reasonable, I’ll endeavor to accommodate them.”

Jenny’s demeanor softened, and she settled onto the sofa. As she did, Tyrone joined her, wary and alert. Observing this, Kallie’s heart sank.

Jenny crossed her legs and smiled provocatively. “Declare to the world that I am your god-sister and will be living with you from now on. As long as you support me for life, I promise there will be no trouble.”

Before Kallie could respond, Trent hurriedly pulled her aside. He shook his head and hastily said, “Please don’t agree. She’s malevolent, and her presence here will only bring problems. Consider this thoroughly. Tomorrow, I’ll inform Mr. Ewing Nixon. He’ll retrieve your grandfather and handle this woman, ensuring no further issues arise.”

Kallie simply replied, “That’s not an option.”

Recently, Ewing hadn’t contacted Kallie as frequently as he once had. Ewing had kept his reasons hidden from Kallie, but Kallie’s informants within the Nixon family kept her updated, suggesting the Nixon family was in disarray. Abram’s family had seized the opportunity to snatch assets from Ewing’s household during Tyrone’s absence.

Abram’s family seemed to have discovered Ewing’s error—one that could destroy his life if leaked. The situation inside the Nixon household had already demanded most of Ewing’s and Hamlin’s attention. They had too much on their plate, and sending Tyrone and Jenny back wasn’t a priority.

Kallie resolved to cope with this on her own. After thinking for a while, Kallie said to Trent, “Every time my grandpa has an episode, he would momentarily gain clarity. Let’s monitor him to see why he acts so weirdly this time. Keep an eye on Jenny and accommodate her needs without upsetting her. Practice some patience, and we will certainly find something.”

Trent’s eyes brimmed with tears as he expressed his gratitude. “Miss, your thoughtfulness toward the Nixon family is deeply appreciated.”

Gazing at Kallie, Trent said, “Miss, your grandfather might blame himself when he is clear-minded again.” Kallie, without uttering a word, simply gave him a comforting pat on the shoulder. The tension seemed to ease after Kallie’s words, and Jenny ceased her disruptions.

Having arranged for someone to escort Tyrone to rest, Kallie noticed Jenny still seated on the sofa, offering a faint smile. Wishing to avoid further confrontation, Kallie turned to head upstairs.

Suddenly, Jenny approached rapidly and blocked her path. “Are you mad at me? It’s hard to believe I have actually turned the tables, isn’t it? Despite my lesser family background, I’m smart and know how to seize every opportunity. Perhaps that’s why you are jealous of me.”

“Seriously?” Kallie responded, crossing her arms and arching an eyebrow. “Why would I harbor such feelings toward someone like you? Have you really earned them?” Jenny’s expression hardened as she realized Kallie wasn’t as passive as she had assumed.

“Move aside,” Kallie stared firmly.
