Chapter 250: Chapter 250 Chapter 250: Chapter 250 No, it can’t be…
It’s not like this!
My sister, she couldn’t possibly be dead!
Keira Olsen was shocked, but Howard spoke up, “Mom, did you hear the news? The Family Head of the Horton Family in Oceanion, Mrs. Horton, has passed away. Her funeral will definitely attract a lot of big shots! I heard that Uncle Olsen from Clance also went…”
Howard’s mother imdiately asked, “The Horton Family? The top household in Oceanion? Wasn’t it said that the Family Head is very young? How did she die?”
Howard imdiately said, “I heard she was kidnapped and thrown into the sea, drowned alive. I also heard that when the body was salvaged, it was all swollen! It had apparently been in the water for a full 20 hours!”
“What a pity, after all the trouble to marry into a wealthy family, and she turned out to be short-lived. Howard, could our family attend such a funeral? I really want to see it.”
Howard scratched his head, “How could our family possibly have the chance to go.”
After saying this, he angrily turned to Keira Olsen, “Why haven’t you moved? Get up quickly!”
He directly grabbed Keira Olsen by the wrist.
Only then did Keira Olsen co back to her senses, frowning and dodging, “Don’t touch !”
Howard scoffed, “Keera, you’re my wife, and you won’t let touch you?!”
Keira Olsen looked at him steadily, “I’m not Keera.”
Howard imdiately began to size her up, but after looking her over, he scoffed and said, “Keera, what kind of trick are you pulling now! If you’re not Keera, who could you be?! Get up!”
After he finished saying this, he went forward again, grabbed Keira Olsen’s hair, and pulled forcefully!
Keira Olsen subconsciously wanted to fight back, grabbing his wrist and attempting to throw him over her shoulder, but suddenly realized she hadn’t yet recovered her strength, and her hands couldn’t muster any force.
She was dragged down from the bed by Howard and fell straight to the ground.
As Howard moved to hit her again, Keira Olsen’s eyes flashed with a glimr of deep light and she quickly said, “I was high school classmates with Mrs. Horton; we can go to offer condolences in the na of classmates.”
Howard was stunned for a mont, “What did you say? You were really high school classmates with Mrs. Horton?”
Keira Olsen imdiately enticed him, “Does it matter if it’s true? The key point is, don’t you want to et a few more influential people?”
She had to see if that body was really her sister’s!
She didn’t believe Keera was truly dead!
Howard instantly got excited, “Keera, you had such connections, why didn’t you tell sooner? Let’s set off right now!”
Turning to Howard’s mother, he said, “Mom, hurry and pick out a couple of outfits for her, I’ll go start the car!”
Howard’s mother grumbled as she opened the closet and carelessly threw a few clothes onto the bed, “The rest of them bring in a wife for comfort, but when our Howard beca a matrilocal husband to your family, it really was a curse! And I still have to take care of you, the jinx, and that money-losing good-for-nothing!”
Matrilocal husband…
Keira Olsen caught the significance of those words, but her hand was held by a tender little hand. She looked up right into Amy’s eyes, “Mommy, does it hurt? I’ll blow on it and it won’t hurt…”
The little one puffed up her cheeks and blew on her head.
That gesture made Keira Olsen’s heart feel sour.
She hurriedly stood up from the ground.
At that mont, Howard’s mother had co over, wanting to open another section of the closet but found Amy was in the way.
She kicked Amy’s behind without hesitation, “Move aside! You money-losing brat, so clueless, don’t you see I need to get clothes?!”
Amy stumbled and fell to the ground.
Kiera Olsen imdiately helped the child up and saw a bruise forming on her arm. The little one’s eyes were brimming with tears, yet she dared not let them fall.
Kiera Olsen glared angrily at Howard’s mother.
Howard’s mother sneered, “What are you looking at? Who hasn’t fallen down as a child?”
Leaving those words behind, she turned to Amy, “Crying, crying, crying, that’s all you ever do. If you dare cry, just see how I’ll beat you!”
Scared by these words, Amy hiccupped from crying and imdiately choked up, “Amy won’t cry, won’t cry…”
The tiny child trembled slightly then, with wide eyes, slowly lowered her head.
Kiera Olsen followed her gaze and realized that a two-year-old child still couldn’t control their bladder, as her pants slowly beca wet, staining a patch on the floor.
Having never taken care of children, Kiera was about to say sothing comforting when Howard’s mother’s shout ca, “Who let you pee? You’re such a money loser, how audacious of you!”
Amy’s little face twitched, and large tears began to fall.
Spying this, Howard’s mother imdiately extended her palm and slapped towards her, “Hold back those tears! Who gave you permission to cry? Is this your grievance? You’ve lain in bed for two days, and it’s this old lady who took care of you. Even a dog knows not to pee inside the house; how are you worse than a dog!”
“Slap!”
Kiera Olsen grabbed her wrist, ready to hit soone, feeling rage burning inside her.
Amy was only two years old, still an innocent child!
Keera’s mother-in-law was simply too wicked!
Her eyes cold and fierce, Kiera stared at Howard’s mother, “Don’t you dare to hit the child!”
Howard’s mother, with hardly any effort, shook off her weak grip and said furiously, “Star of misfortune, now you’re trying to order around? Don’t believe I won’t hit you too!”
Kiera Olsen’s eyes turned icy as she retorted, “You dare!”
Howard’s mother scorned, “Why wouldn’t I dare? You’re my daughter-in-law; what if I hit you?”
She looked arrogant and nonchalant, as if this wasn’t the first ti she had laid hands on soone!
Kiera Olsen was shaking with anger, unable to believe that her sister was being bullied by a matrilocal husband and mother-in-law like this!
She took a deep breath, “I’ve told you, I am not Keera! If you dare touch , I’ll make you regret it!”
Howard’s mother laughed derisively, “Keera, have you lost your mind? Spouting such nonsense, if you’re not Keera, then tell , who are you?!”
At that mont, the door was pushed open again. Howard appeared, impatient at the threshold, “What’s going on? All this crying and fussing. Are you ready yet? Hurry up and get in the car; Mrs. Horton’s body is to be cremated today! We’ll miss it if you’re any slower!”
Howard’s mother cursed, “Isn’t it all because of this star of misfortune? She claims she’s not Keera, and then there’s this money loser wetting her pants again!”
Howard sneered at Kiera Olsen, “Don’t think you can act all high and mighty just because you’re Mrs. Horton’s classmate. Keera, you better behave! Or watch out for my fist!”
Kiera Olsen narrowed her eyes, glaring at Howard’s retreating figure.
After a mont of thought, she followed him out.
It was critical to get to the Horton Family first. Then, she would have Lewis Horton help her deal with this mother and son!
Walking out of the bedroom, she spotted a landline phone on the living room table.
Imdiately, Kiera Olsen picked it up and dialed Lewis Horton’s number.
She had to tell Lewis that she wasn’t dead, that she was still alive!
