Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Before they could get close, cries of alarm were already audible.
Lewis’s frown deepened even further, and he pressed harder on the accelerator.
With a drift and a sharp turn, the car screeched to a halt in front of old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard gates.
Lewis anxiously pushed open the car door, expecting to see a woman trembling in humiliation over being mistreated, but as soon as he stepped out, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Keira stood there tall and upright, her gaze sharp. She exuded an aura of authority, with a group of security guards sprawled around her on the ground.
The housemaids stood trembling at a distance.
Jake was also stunned, clearly not expecting Keira to be so capable in combat.
His shocked gaze fell upon Keira, who at that mont seed so pure and untouchable. She elevated above all, making him realize for the first ti that the reason he couldn’t catch up with her in university wasn’t that she didn’t like him, but rather… he might not be good enough for her.
His jaw tightened.
The Keira he knew was a loner, preferring solitude in school, yet obedient and clever, diligently completing any howork or cleaning tasks set by teachers and fellow students.
But at that mont, he suddenly felt as though he had never really known her.
She stood aloof from the world, looking down with an air of superiority.
He suddenly understood that in university, she wasn’t really afraid of teachers or classmates, she just thought it beneath her to bicker with them.
Like a lone wolf that had strayed into a pack of huskies.
She tried hard to blend in with the crowd, making him truly mistake her for an outcast husky…
Isla hadn’t expected this situation either.
At the Olsen’s, Keira was just a scapegoat who couldn’t fight back. When had her fighting skills beco so formidable? She took down over a dozen security guards with ease!
When she looked at Jake, did she see admiration in his eyes?
This made Isla bite her lip hard; she cried out, “Keira, how dare you raise your hand in the Horton residence? Call the police! We must call the police!”
These words snapped lissa back to her senses. Frightened, she took a few steps back to distance herself from Keira and then took out her phone to start dialing. “Fine, you dare to fight back against security. Let’s see if you have the guts to resist the police!”
Unfortunately, before the call could be made, her phone vanished from her hand.
It had been quickly snatched away by Keira, who charged over.
Keira wore a nonchalant smile. “Didn’t you just stop Fiona from calling Mr. Horton? What do you think? Will I let you call the police?”
lissa, terrified, stepped back again. She tripped and tumbled to the ground.
Only then did she hear the sound of Lewis’s car and, turning her head to see Lewis, lissa cried out as if seeing a savior. “Lewis, co quick! This woman, she’s gone mad!!”
Keira tilted her head slightly, her icy gaze turning toward Lewis.
The violent air around her hadn’t subsided, and her bloodthirstiness was still rising as if she would strike down anyone who dared stop her.
Lewis strode over and took her hand, frowning deeply as he examined her. “How could you resort to violence?”
These words caused Keira’s expression to darken.
Isla seized the opportunity to also cry out. “Yeah, Uncle, we were having a nice chat with Keira, but then she suddenly started hitting people… She didn’t even worry about disturbing old Mrs. Horton, aggravating her health…”
On hearing this, lissa imdiately chid in. “That’s right, Lewis, you must take control! This is the first ti soone dares to be violent in the Horton residence. She doesn’t respect us at all! This woman is too barbaric! Can’t she talk nicely? Where is the demure and gentle manner of a lady in her?!”
Jake stared intently at Lewis holding Keira’s hand, his lips bitten tightly, his heart filled with reluctance.
Keira then said coldly, “Do you think I shouldn’t have taken action?”
“Of course.” Lewis frowned.
Keira’s expression darkened, and she was about to withdraw her hand when she heard his concerned voice. “Look, you’re bleeding. Have you forgotten you have anemia? Do you not know how precious your blood is to you?”
Keira was speechless.
She was slightly stunned.
She had never expected that Lewis would say she shouldn’t have taken action for this reason.
Her heart ward slightly, and the chill on her body quietly dissipated…
Lewis, however, seed not to notice the change in her deanor and looked directly at the nanny next to him, commanding. “Go to the yard and call the family doctor right now!”
Before long, the nanny ca back with the family doctor.
The family doctor hurried over to Keira, his face full of concern. “Miss Olsen, where are you injured? Is it serious?”
II II
Keira fell silent, then shafully raised her hand.
The family doctor saw the tiny cut that was already clotting, and his mouth twitched. “Am I too late? It’s already scabbed over.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Nor did Lewis.
The family doctor helplessly took so iodine and treated Keira’s wound.
But after eting Lewis’s almost cannibalistic gaze, he silently took out a cartoon-patterned bandage and applied it to her wound.
This dramatic scene left everyone present dumbfounded.
lissa was the first to co to her senses, “Lewis, you’re really going too far! Are you determined to protect her?! Do you have any idea how arrogant she was just now?!”
Only then did Lewis turn to her. “Miss Olsen has always influenced others with virtue. You must have pushed her too far.”
“You…” lissa was livid.
Isla stepped forward. “Uncle, she wouldn’t leave Jake alone and has been trying to carry on with both you and Jake. Mother and I thought it would affect your relationship, so we suggested driving her away.”
“Is that so? ssing around with him?” Lewis looked deeply at Jake.” I forgot to remind you all. For Grandmother’s safety, I just happened to install so caras near the yard. Let’s check the surveillance and see whether it was Miss Olsen pestering Jake or the other way around.”
Jake was stunned. “That’s not necessary. I just had so things I wanted to make clear with her…”
lissa imdiately changed the subject. “Lewis, actually, my suggestion for her to move out of the Horton family was for your sake. Your wife will be back in the country soon, right? When she cos ho and sees her, it’ll be chaotic! Lewis, you can’t keep a woman like that!”
Isla added opportunistically, “And Uncle, you don’t know how arrogant she was when you weren’t here! She said she is the hostess of this house, that she is your wife…”
Keira frowned.
She had never said that from the beginning, and with Lewis hearing it now, she hoped he wouldn’t think she was being presumptuous.
Just as she was about to explain sothing to Lewis, she saw the man looking at her, a glint flickering in his narrowed eyes, and his lips slowly curling up.
At that mont, old Mrs. Horton ca running out, frantic.. “Brat, tell these bad people whether your wife is actually your wife or not!”
