It wasn’t like that!
“My sister, she couldn’t possibly be dead!”
Keira looked straight at Howard, her voice trembling. “Mrs. Horton passed away?”
Howard glanced at her and sneered. “Why are you so worked up? It’s as if you knew Mrs. Horton…”
Howard’s mother imdiately asked, “The Horton family? The number one prestigious family in
Oceanion? Weren’t they saying the family head is quite young? How could she just die?”
Howard imdiately said, “I heard she was kidnapped, thrown into the sea, and drowned alive. I also
heard that when the body was recovered, it was all bloated! It seed to have been in the water for a

“What a pity, to finally marry into a wealthy family only to have such a short life. Howard, can our family

Horton family, do we?”
Howard imdiately said, “Mom, you’re silly. There’s
no reason to turn away visitors at a funeral. I heard that Mrs. Horton was from an ordinary background,
so at that ti, we could just say Keera was her classmate, and we ca to offer our condolences
upon hearing the news. Wouldn’t we be able to get in then?” Howard’s mother imdiately got excited.
“I was wondering why you insisted on bringing this jinx; so that’s the reason. But why say Keera was
her
classmate? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to say you were her classmate to get closer?”
“Keera and Mrs. Horton are the sa age. I’m three years older than them!”

ard sneered. “Keera, you’re my wife, and you won’t touch you?!”
Keira looked steadily at him, “I’m not Keera.”
Howard imdiately started sizing her up, but after a look, he sneered, “Keera, what tricks are you
playing now? If you’re not Keera, then who could you be?! Get up!”
After saying that, he stepped forward again, grabbed Keira’s hair, and jerked it forcefully!
Keira subconsciously tried to strike back, grabbing his wrist to throw him over her shoulder, but
suddenly realized she hadn’t regained her strength; her hands couldn’t muster any force.
She was dragged down from the bed by Howard and fell straight to the ground.
“Mommy, Mommy!” Amy imdiately rushed over. She
front of her, stretched out her arms toward
and shouted, “Daddy is a bad man! Don’t you touch Mommy!”
Howard sneered but ignored her and said to the middle-aged woman. “Mom, hurry up and help her get
ready. I’ll go start the car!”
Howard’s mother cursed as she opened the wardrobe,
carolasalu arahhing a four alothan and throwing them
on the bed. “Elsewhere, having a daughter-in-law ans blessings, but Howard married you! What a
misery indeed! I have to serve you, this jinx, and that little loser too!”
…marrying into a family…
Keira keenly caught those words, but her fingers were held by a soft little hand; she looked up to et
Amy’s gaze, “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.
This gesture made Keira sad.
She hurried to her feet.

my stumbled and fell to the ground.
Keira imdiately helped the child up, only to see a
bruise forming on her arm. The little one’s eyes welled úp with tears, but she dared not let them fall.
Keira imdiately glared at Howard’s mother.
Howard’s mother sneered. “What are you looking at? Who hasn’t fallen down when they were little?”
Leaving that comnt, she then turned to Amy. “Cry, cry, cry! That’s all you know how to do. If you dare
cry again, you’ll see how I beat you!”
Those words frightened Amy into hiccupping sobs, as
she stamred, “Amy won’t cry, won’t cry…”
Then the tiny figure trembled slightly, widened her eyes, and slowly lowered her head.
Keira followed her gaze and realized that a two-year-old child couldn’t control their bladder yet, s her
pants slowly beca wet and dampened the floor beneath her.
Keira had never cared for children before, and just as she was about to say sothing comforting,
Howard’s mother’s roaring voice ca over/ “Who let you wet yourself?! You useless trash! How
shaless can you
be!”
=)
Amy’s face twitched as large tears rolled down.
Howard’s mother imdiately extended her hand to slap her. “Swallow those tears! Who allowed you
to cry? Do you feel wronged? What do you have to feel sad about? This jinx has been lying in bed for
two days now, and it’s all been taking care of you. Even a dog knows not to pee indoors, how are
you worse than a dog!”
“Smack!”
Keira grabbed her wrist to stop her from hitting the child, feeling full of rage.
Amy was only two, still a child who understood nothing!
‘s mother-in-law was simply terrible!
yes dark and nacing, she stared at Howard’s
ther. “Don’t hit the child!”
Howard’s mother, however, effortlessly threw her off
and angrily said, “Jinx, you think you can control ? Believe it or not, I’ll beat you too!”
Keira’s gaze grew icy. “You wouldn’t dare!”
Howard’s mother sneered. “Why wouldn’t I dare?
You’re my daughter-in-law, so what if I hit you?”
She seed brazen and careless, appearing as if this
wasn’t the first ti she had been violent!
Shaking with anger, Keira hadn’t expected her sister to
be bullied to this extent by a loutish man and his
mother!
She took a deep breath, “I’ve said it, I’m not Keera! If you dare touch , I’ll make you regret it!”
Howard’s mother sneered, “Keera, have you lost your mind? To co out with such nonsense, if you’re
not
Keera, then tell , who are you?!”
Keira was about to state her na when the door was pushed open again, and Howard appeared
outside,
patient. “What’s wrong now? All this crying and
motion! Are you ready to go? Hurry up and get in he car. Today, they’re sending the body for cremation!
Any slower, and we’ll miss it!”
Howard’s mother cursed. “Isn’t it all because of this
jinx? She’s saying she’s not Keera, and then there’s this
liability who wets her pants again!”
Howard then sneered at Keira. “You don’t want to help,
do you? Keera do you think I can’t deal with
you?”
After saying that, he picked up Amy and quickly walked out. “Follow if you still want your daughter!”
Keira was shocked.
Narrowing her eyes, she glared at Howard from behind.
After a mont of hesitation, she followed.
Since they didn’t believe what she said, then she would go to the Horton family, let Lewis teach this
mother and son a lesson!
