"Since you returned, Ewing barely paidany attention. Guess how he will react if he finds out you're not his cousin at all?" Kallie raised an eyebrow and started typing on her phone. "What are you trying to say? Are you threatening me?" Bria smirked. "Con. Don't play dumb with me. You tricked Ewing and Tyrone into believing you're the one they have been looking for just to get out of my grip, didn't you? Tyrone often gets confused due to his senior age, and he has mistaken others for his long-missed granddaughter multiple times. Ewing's concerns and respect for Tyrone made him fall for Tyrone's claim without much thought. You must have seen through all these, therefore, you lured Tyrone into the misconception, following which you swiftly earned Ewing's trust. I finally get why you offered to make the birthday present forthen. You're so scheming!" Kallie almost laughed out loud at the absurdity of Bria's groundless accusations.

Bria took Kallie's silence as a yes, feeling she finally spotted Kallie's weakness, which she intended to use in her favor.

I can't believe how shameless you are. After you have the baby, you should leave right away. Or else, I'll show you what trouble really is." Kallie withdrew her hand from Bria's grip and gave Bria a cold look. She started typing her reply. "Don't worry. I'll be leaving soon."

Bria's spirits were lifted, assuming Kallie gave in to her threat. She snorted and walked away, feeling like a winner.
Their conversation was privy only to them, oblivious to those bodyguards e not far away.
Hearing the report from his m subordinate, Ewing frowned.
