?<strong>Chapter 510:</strong>


    Kallie appeared in a ck silk nightgown. The gown entuated her wless figure without overtly seeking allure. Her beautiful face was set with a cold,manding expression, giving her the air of a disdainful goddess.


    Jenny felt a surge of unwillingness and jealousy. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, though she scarcely felt the pain.


    Attempting to stir trouble, Jenny retorted, “Kallie, did you hear that Jake isn’t as devoted to you as you think? He just mentioned your grandfather means nothing to him.” Jake remainedposed, even managing a smile.


    Kallie crossed her arms, her gaze icy as she stared down at Jenny. “Get a doctor for Jenny, and make sure she doesn’t die. She might still be useful.”


    Jenny stood there, stunned. Her strategies and tactics paled inparison to Kallie’s.


    After returning to her room, Kallie felt exhausted. While massaging her temples, she received a video call from Ewing.


    “Kallie,” Ewing looked noticeably thinner, with dark circles under his eyes and stubble across his face.


    Kallie gasped in shock. Covering her mouth, she expressed her concern. “What’s happened to you? Are you in trouble? If you’re facing difficulties, just let me know. I can help.”


    “I’m fine,” Ewing replied, managing a weary smile.


    “I’m just a bit drainedtely. As you know, the Nixon family is extensive, and there’s a lot to manage. Now that your grandfather has returned to Avalon with you, my father is preupied with handling Abram, a man full of ambition. It seems I’m the only one left to manage the Nixon affairs.”


    Kallie sighed deeply. Choosing her words with care, she said, “Even though you haven’t mentioned it, it’s clear you’re grappling with a serious issue. It may be inappropriate to say this, but I hold a stake in the Nixon family business. I want to help you.”


    Hearing Kallie’s offer, Ewing responded with a sense of resignation. “Thanks.”


    Ewing had been in a long-term rtionship with a girlfriend but had never introduced her to his family. Few within the Nixon family were aware of her, due to her distinctive status as a celebrity in Avalon. The Nixon family would never approve of such a woman marrying into their fold.


    When he decided to reveal his rtionship, he discovered that sensitivepany information had been leaked. It turned out that Ewing’s girlfriend, in collusion with Abram’s associates, had orchestrated the leak. Abram had strategically ced the woman in Ewing’s life.


    Since Ewing had no prior experience with love, he was easily deceived. Initially, he had intended merely to confront his girlfriend and end their rtionship. Being betrayed was devastating, yet he had no desire toplicate her life further.


    Consequently, Ewing spent an entire night waiting at their designated meeting spot, but she never showed up. Instead, a woman with a disfigured face appeared at the base of the cliff where he waited.


    Everyone concluded that Ewing was responsible for her death. Now, the woman’s family, manipted by Abram, used the incident to coerce Ewing into stepping down.


    Ewing was preupied with dealing with them and couldn’t gather documents to clear his name. Ultimately, the local policebeled him a prime suspect due to his apparent motives.
