Chapter 637
Kelly’s heart almost jumped out of her chest when she heard the words “kept man“.
She was really afraid that Ian would immediately teach Brenda a severe lesson. ‘That guy doesn’t allow anyone to look down on him,‘ she thought.
Kelly immediately grabbed Brenda by the hand and led her outside with a serious and nervous expression. “Brenda, what did you say?” she asked.
Brenda also realized that she had said something wrong, but she was truly surprised. She thought, ‘Mr. Walter has done so much for Kelly. Before Mr. Walter gets tired of having fun with Kelly, having a kept man like this is just asking for trouble! It doesn’t matter if she is asking for trouble for herself. Don’t cause the Collins family to be dragged into hot water.’
Brenda pulled her sleeve out of Kelly’s grip, furrowed her brow, and suppressed her displeasure. She asked, “Kelly, who is he? Who’s the man in your room?”
“Ian,” Kelly explained. “He’s my friend.”
“Friend?” Brenda said. She looked completely incredulous. She suddenly raised her voice. “Tell me the truth. What’s your relationship with him?”
“We’re friends,” Kelly said casually. She looked like she was smiling and was very easy to talk to, but she actually had a clear plan in mind.
No matter how much Brenda pressed, she only received an indifferent response with one word. “Friend.”
Brenda was burning with anger, so much so that she wanted to unleash her anger violently. However, she could not be blunt. She thought, ‘From the moment Mr. Walter moved into the Collins family’s old mansion, it is evident that he wants to get close to Kelly personally and enjoys playing the game of romantic pursuit and playful interactions. If I point it out, it would ruin Mr. Walter’s mood.‘
“Kelly!” Brenda said earnestly, “Don’t be with that kind of kept man. They’re with you for money.”
Kelly knew that Brenda had misunderstood, but it was difficult to explain that

the kept man was Ian Walter. She could only reassure Brenda with a hint of helplessness, saying, “Brenda, don’t worry. I’ve got a sense of propriety.”
‘A sense of propriety?‘ Brenda thought. ‘What sense of propriety do you have?‘
Brenda was absolutely furious, staring at Kelly for a while without being able to say a word.
She thought. “This girl has been utterly spoiled! She’s had a stroke of luck getting Mr. Walter’s attention. After getting used to sailing smoothly, she thinks she’s genuinely capable. She should take a good look in the mirror and see what she really is. Without Mr. Walter, she’s nothing! Men may find her pretty and cute right now, willing to play this chase and flirt game with her. But the moment she steps into dangerous territory, she can kiss her life. goodbye. She dares to cheat on Mr. Walter. She must be tired of living!‘
Despite her dissatisfaction, Brenda still suppressed her anger and said amiably, “Kelly, just listen to me. I won’t cause you any harm. Girls must cherish and respect themselves. Don’t ever associate with those people out there that have questionable characters. Having a clean and respectable background is very important.
“You are a child of the Collins family. In the future, you’ll marry into a prestigious family.”
The more Brenda spoke, the less relevant her words were. Even though Kelly did not want to argue, she could not bear to continue listening. She thought, ‘What’s all this talk about questionable characters and having a clean background? Are we living in a feudal society?‘
She lowered her eyes. A hint of coldness crept into the corners of her eyes. “Brenda, I’m not a kid anymore,” she said. “Who I associate with and who I choose to be with are my own choices. I don’t need outsiders to interfere.”
‘Outsiders!‘ Brenda thought.
Brenda’s expression was cold. The concern in her eyes disappeared. It turned into disdain and pity.
She thought, ‘In this world, there are always some people who are full of themselves, overly self–confident, and mistake others‘ assistance for their own. ability. I initially wanted to offer some advice to Kelly, but I didn’t expect her to be so unappreciative. Forget it, then. I won’t do anything that people find
