NovelEnglishChapter 235: "Why didn't you have the guts to wakeearlier? If it weren't for Kallie, Ewing would have beratedto no end. What is it? Do you think I'm too harsh? Or did my temper scare you off?" Bria roared.
Being embarrassed in front of Ewing, Bria's anger was now at a boiling point. She could easily take her anger out on Kallie. Yet, it was Kallie who had endured the grievance silently, indirectly helping her diffuse the tension. This realization only fueled Bria's fury further. Kallie was smarter than those who had been around her for years. Why couldn't any of them show a shred of intelligence? Exhausted, Kallie didn't bother to look up to witness Bria's anger toward the servant. She found no comfort in this scene. She understood the root of the turmoil. Kallie expressed her desire for a rest.
This time, Bria consented, though she issued a stern reminder as Kallie departed. "Remember, there is not much tleft for you. If you fail to meet my expectations, you know the consequences.” Kallie nodded, departing without a backward glance.
Meanwhile, Ewing had just returned to his study when he noticed an email from Jake. It contained a photo of Jake's wife. Staring at the image, Ewing was taken aback by the resemblance. How could she look so much like the woman he had seen at Bria's? galnovsis where imagination thrives Yet, there were differences. The woman in the photo smiled warmly, her eyes bright and inviting, radiating beauty. In contrast, the woman Ewing had encountered at Bria's seemed distant, her eyes hollow and filled with bitterness. Why would Jake's wife choose to stay with Bria? Hadn't Bria described that woman as a pitiful soul? Ewing mused, feeling increasingly perplexed by the situation. He promptly summoned the butler. "Inform Bria that I need to speak with her new servant. I have a task for her. Ask Bria to send her over." However, Bria flatly refused. Not only did she reject the request, but Kallie was quickly reassigned elsewhere. When Ewing approached Bria again, Bria eyed him with suspicion. "Ewing, since when are you so interested in taking what's mine? I think she's clever enough to stay by my side. Are you trying to poach her from me?" Ewing's face remained impassive, though a frown creased his brow. "Why would I want to take her away? It's just that she seems somewhat familiar to me." A flicker of panic crossed Bria's eyes. "Have you met her before?" Ewing's response was charged with a surge of indignation. “Indeed, I have! When I was overseas, someone stole from me. I've been trying to figure out why she looked familiar. The thief bore a striking resemblance to her."
Most of Bria's suspicions dissipated with Ewing's words. After all, Ewing's things being stolen six months prior was no secret: It seemed his story wasn't concocted on the spur of the moment. Having anticipated Bria's suspicions, Ewing presented sscreenshots from the footage of the theft scene.
Unbeknownst to Bria, Ewing had previously modified the photos,, 'm replacing the face in the images with that of Kallie. Thus, based on these photos, it made sense for him to be suspicious of Kallie.
