Chapter 474: Kallie blinked innocently and said, "Miss Patterson, how could you think so poorly of me? I'm utterly genuine. I even rallied the media for this. You could broadcast the whole affair live. I assure you, I won't stir up any trouble. If I find the elderly relative of my friend, I'll publicly apologize to you-I have even prepared a thank-you letter in advance." Jenny clenched her jaw, her frustration evident. Kallie had clearly mastered the art of turning the court of public opinion in her favor. Turning Kallie away now was not an option.

With a smile, Jenny gestured for Kallie to cinside. Kallie couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss when she saw Jenny agree so readily.
On their way, Jenny gently asked Kallie if she remembered the elderly man's appearance. Not wanting to reveal the truth, Kallie described other people instead, her answers carefully crafted to mislead. Jenny inwardly sneered.
Jenny led Kallie to the welfare hwhere the elderly residents were housed and gave her a tour. The welfare hhad recently hosted numerous interviews, so they were well-prepared. The food served to the elderly during this twas notably good. No matter who cto visit, there was nothing they could criticize.
Kallie scanned the unfamiliar crowd, her heart sinking as disappointment began to cloud her eyes. Tyrone was nowhere in sight. Neither was the familiar face she had seen in the photo.

"Are all the elderly people Jenny rescued here?" The staff member glanced at the money and responded reluctantly, "Yes, everyone is here." Kallie wasn't ready to give up just yet. "Are you sure there aren't any special cases that might not be here?" The staff member, showing a hint of impatience, replied, “Miss Patterson is so busy that she barely has tto visit the elderly. How could she possibly manage to relocate sof them elsewhere and personally care for them?" Eyeing Kallie with suspicion, the staff member asked, "You are not here to stir up trouble, are you?" Kallie quickly shook her head. "Of course not. In fact, I brought these thank-you letters specifically for Miss Patterson." The staff member's expression softened slightly. "That is more like it. And while you are at it, help us spread the word about the positive environment here at our welfare home. We want the public to rest easy, knowing that we and Miss Patterson are genuinely committed to charity work." The staff member emphasized this last point, repeating it several times.
