Chapter 623
When Kelly returned to the Collins family, only Brenda was at home. She was reading the contract in
the study.
When she heard that Kelly had returned, a trace of light shed across her calm eyes.
She casually took a shawl and went downstairs to wee Kelly. Her tone was gentle and warm, with
just the right amount of enthusiasm and happiness. “Kelly, you’re back.”
“Brenda.” Kelly held Brenda’s hand. She was so happy that her eyes narrowed into slits. “I haven’t
seen you for a few days. I miss you so much.”
Her voice was sweet and soft.
Brenda held Kelly’s hand and sat on the sofa. She sized Kelly up a few times and said in a concerned
tone, “You’ve lost weight. Did anyone bully you at the old residence?”
“No.” Kelly leaned on Brenda’s shoulder. “Grandpa dotes on me a lot. No one bullies me.”
“That’s good.” Brenda nodded and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she asked, “When are you going
back? Will you stay for dinner? Or do you have to leave in the afternoon?”
Kelly was stunned.
Why did it feel like Brenda was chasing her away?
“Brenda.” Kelly turned to her and pouted. “Why are you chasing me away? Don’t you want me to stay?”
“You’re staying?” Brenda couldn’t control her emotions this time. She was very surprised and asked,
“Aren’t you going back to Grandpa’s ce?”
Kelly nodded. “Yeah, I’m not going back. I’ll stay at home for the night. I have to be on set tomorrow for
the film. The scene this time is a closed shoot, and I might not be able toe out for a few months, so
I’m back today.”
‘How could this be?‘ thought Brenda.
A thoughtful look shed across Brenda’s eyes. “Is Mr. Walter still at the old residence?”
“He left.” Kelly did not understand why Brenda suddenly asked aboutn, but she still answered
truthfully.
Brenda didn’t say anything in front of Kelly, but as soon as she returned to her room, she immediately
made a call to the old residence. ‘Grandpa, what happened? Why did Mr. Walter leave?”
‘Didn’t he go to the Collins family’s old residence because of Kelly? Why did he suddenly leave?‘
wondered Brenda,
Dn sat on the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed.
How could he guess what Ian was thinking? However, from his observations over the past few days,
lan did not seem to have that much interest in Kelly.
Dn voiced out his guess, saying, “He’s probably tired of it. Or perhaps the Walter family has
something urgent to deal with.”
Upon hearing this, Brenda pursed her lips and snorted coldly. “How can ope serve someone with body
last for long? I originally thought that since Mr. Walfer had put in so much effort for her, even if she
couldn’t marry him, she could still apany Mr. Walter as a lover.
“I didn’t expect her to be abandoned in such a short period of time,”
“Brenda!” Dn reminded her and said, “Watch your words. Don’t give yourself away. Even if Mr.
Walter gives up on Kelly, she’s still your sister.”
“Illegitimate sister?” Brenda’s expression was mocking. “It’s fine if Father betrayed Mother. After all, he
was schemed against and drugged. But now, Kelly, the illegitimate bastard, is showing up in front of
Mother every day. Who do you think would put up with that?
“I can ignore her, but I can’t ignore my mother’s feelings!”
“Brenda…” Dn sighed.
This granddaughter of his was the smartest among his grandchildren. If not for her poor health, the
Collins family would definitely have been handed over to her in the future.
Brenda was good at every aspect. She was smart, beautiful, and filial, but she was too arrogant. If not
for the Collins family, it would have been difficult for her to ept Kelly.
“Brenda.” Dn’s expression turned serious as he reminded her sternly. He said, “No matter what you
think, you can’t fall out with Kelly on the surface. We’re not sure what Mr. Walter is thinking, so we can’t
offend Kelly.”

“Grandpa, don’t worry. I know this.” Brenda’s tone was cold.
