TimeNovelChapter 304: The familiar male voice caused Kallie to momentarily wonder if she was hallucinating due to the stress. This caused the onlookers to murmur among themselves.
Jake, accompanied by Edgar, strode over with a composed demeanor, approaching Ewing without any hint of subservience or undue pride. "Mr. Nixon, I hear there's a welcbanquet at your place. You wouldn't mind an uninvited presence, would you?" "Guests are always a delight. Of course, I don't mind!" Ewing responded with a welcoming smile.

Hey, you guys! Don't just stand there! Hurry up and kick him out!" "No invitation?" Ewing's brow furrowed as he gestured subtly to an aide.
Immediately, the aide produced an invitation, presenting it to Jake.
"Here you go. We weren't sure of your address, Mr. Reeves, hence the delay," Ewing remarked.
Jake gave Klein a fleeting look, noting his evident scorn.
"It appears Mr. Klein Nixon takes exception to my presence." Klein's response was a contemptuous sneer. "I wouldn't dare. It's just that your notoriety is well-known throughout Burmoos." Jake simply advanced, his presence commanding the room.
Klein recoiled slightly, a flicker of unease crossing his face.

Klein, visibly thrown by Jake's forthrightness, retorted with veiled sarcasm, "Mr. Reeves, are you suggesting your own kin have wronged you with false claims, and that your expulsion from the Reeves family was unwarranted?"

The officer shook his head, addressing the room. “We've found no concrete evidence implicating Mr. Reeves in any crime. He remains merely a suspect. Without solid proof, accusations must be withheld." Klein clenched his jaw but nodded in begrudging acknowledgment.
Turning to Jake, the officer pointed at Kallie and inquired, "Can you confirm your whereabouts with her at the back door?"
"Yes, I had to pass something to her.
I requested Mr. Ewing Nixon to relay the message, and she metthere for the item," Jake explained confidently. Before anyone could react, Ewing affirmed, "That is accurate."
Jake continued, "Regarding the identical dress, Kallie's attire today is well recognized. It would be simple for someone to mimic her appearance and commit a misdeed. And if Kallie truly intended to inflict harm on Bria, why would she approach in such a noticeable dress rather than changing first?"
Klein, scrambling for a counter, suggested weakly, "Perhaps it was a spur of the moment malice."
