Chapter 331: There was a brief silence before Kallie quickly collected herself. "The way you're trying to pin this onis just pathetic. I've never been involved with her. What does her situation have to do with me? I need to find Sophie. Letgo! Or else I'll have to get the police involved to figure out who's really behind what happened to Bria." Jennifer gave a mocking laugh and then commanded, "Check her phone." Kallie, powerless, could only watch as they searched for her cell phone.
Finally, Jennifer seized Kallie's phone.

When she's ready to admit her guilt, we'll consider releasing her." Kallie was utterly distraught. She quickly said, “Anything you want, I'll do it. I can even leave the Nixon family for good. But right now, Sophie is missing. She's my daughter. Jennifer, you have a child. You must understand how I feel, right?" Jennifer's expression softened for a moment, but then she steeled herself once again. She addressed Kallie with a chilling tone, "Don't worry about Sophie. We'll ensure she's well looked after. You, however, need to ponder your missteps. If you confess sooner, I can release you earlier." Kallie, despite her struggle, was ultimately taken away. She was escorted back to the Nixon estate and roughly ushered into a room.
The door slammed shut, sealing off the last sliver of light. In the pitch-dark room, Kallie curled up, clutching her knees, her mind not on fear but filled with concern for Sophie.
Suddenly, a thought struck Kallie. She mulled over Jennifer's words, and the more she did, the more something seemed off. Clearly, Jennifer was keen on pinning the blon her, yet the rest of the Nixon family weren't fools.
Kallie reasoned that Ewing and his father would eventually return. They would undoubtedly rescue her and uncover the truth that she was innocent. The actions of Jennifer and Abram's family seemed futile. Then what was their motive? Jennifer had assured her of Sophie's safety and urged her not to be concerned. Realization dawned on Kallie. She sprang to her feet and banged on the door with all her might.
"Letgo! This is wrongful confinement! Won't you be scared that I'll tell Ewing about your schemes when he returns? Open up! If you harm my daughter, I'll make you regret it forever!" Kallie's voice was raspy from tears, yet silence prevailed outside.
She tried every trick in the book but could only pace anxiously like a cornered animal.

Kallie recalled this room was on the second story. A fall could likely result in a broken bone. But she didn't dwell on it, her concerns for her daughter overwhelming.
With determination, Kallie bit her lip and ascended using the room's decor.
However, lacking any real climbing experience, she fell repeatedly.
Her hair was disheveled, and her om body was filthy.
