TimeNovelChapter 472: Kallie shook her head, unfazed. "I'm not worried about problems," she replied with a smile. “I always say fortune comes to those who dare to take risks, and success favors the bold. Prepare to cback to the company.
And don't worry, if you're not ready to reveal who you are just yet, I can make arrangements for that. What you need to focus on now is—" Glancing at her watch, Kallie remarked, “It's too late now. I'll take both you and your grandmother to the hospital tomorrow. Don't worry. I trust everyone there, and they'll keep everything confidential." Ruth nodded in agreement.

They offered her the best sleeping spot and the finest food they could muster. Kallie felt a mix of emotions. Realizing Kallie was indeed here to help, Tilda dropped her hostility and smiled warmly at her.
"Miss Nixon, you are Ruth's guardian angel. Originally, she was destined for a bright future as a talented young girl, but she's been stuck living this tough life with me. She's weighed down by my failure to guide Barth properly. I... I don't know how to repay your kindness. If you ever need anything from me, just say the word." Kallie tenderly ran her fingers through Tilda's gray hair. "Don't mention it. Ruth dida great favor by sharing her past with me. Actually, the company is on the brink of collapse, and seeking the truth about the plagiarism incident is my only option. We are helping each other. I owe her as much as she owes me." Don't miss out galTilda sighed deeply, her frustration palpable. She slammed her hands on her knees. "Barth and Jenny are merciless. It's been so long, yet they still won't let go. I'm at a loss. They aren't my flesh and blood, and they clearly despise me," she lamented, tears welling up in her eyes.
After Tilda went to bed, Ruth had something else to tell Kallie. Surprisingly, Tilda once had a child of her own. When she adopted Barth out of compassion, her own child was still alive.
Then, one tragic summer day, the two children went swimming, and for reasons unknown, Tilda's biological child drowned. It was rumored that Tilda's biological son had sacrificed himself for Barth.
Despite the heartbreaking loss, Tilda never held it against Barth. Instead, she devoted herself to raising him. Sadly, her kindness wasn't repaid. Barth grew up to be ungrateful.
To complicate matters, Jenny and Barth had recently revealed Tilda's location to the media as a form of leverage over Ruth. What was once a charming farmhouse was now a scene of chaos, its address disclosed and invaded by troublemakers.

Tilda reached out to Barth for help, but his response was cold: "You were behind that disgraceful act, and now you dare to seek my help? I told you to leave her be. Why can't you let her suffer the consequences on her own?" Their argument escalated, with Barth even threatening to cut Tilda off financially.
Despite this, Tilda remained resolute about taking Ruth in.
As Ruth shared the minute details of her relationship with Tilda, Kallien found her thoughts drifting to Tyrone.
"Both my parents and paternal grandparents have passed away, The only family I have left ismer's father," Kallie explained with a steady voice, as if she were recounting her own story.
