Howard wrote two waivers, indicating that he had no relation with Amy from then on, before turning to
Keira. “You, sign this!”
Before Keira had a chance to act, Howard’s mother stepped forward and grabbed her hand. “When we
tell you to sign, you sign. Don’t even think about clinging to Howard. Once you’re divorced, you and
that loser better stay far away from us!”
Keira seed intimidated. She signed her na mournfully.
Howard imdiately picked up the divorce agreent and the waiver, then excitedly stood up. He
exchange a look with Cindy, and the two, along with Howard’s mother, promptly walked out.
Howard’s mother said, “Are we leaving in such a hurry?”
Howard said, “Absolutely, to prevent this woman from demanding any more living expenses from us!”
Howard’s mother felt a bit reluctant. “Once we leave
here, where will we live?”
Cindy said with a smile, “Auntie, move to my place first. I have a three-bedroom apartnt.”
“Alright, Cindy, I’ll take care of you in the future. You’re pregnant and shouldn’t be overworked!”
Howard’s mother imdiately picked up her suitcase and followed behind the two.
Just as they reached the door, they encountered the ashen-faced Ellis.
Howard was terrified. “Mr. Ellis? When, when did you get here?”
Ellis coldly looked at him.
Then his gaze shifted to Keira, who had her back t
them.
Keira seed to be weeping with her shoulders trembling slightly, fueling his anger helplessly.
He said, “Howard, is this how you treat your lawful wife?”
Howard was stupefied, then swallowed hard. “Mr. Ellis, my divorce from Keera is mutual. We…”
10.31)
Since it was all out in the open, there was no point in hiding it anymore. He imdiately smoothed
things over with a grin. “Everything on the divorce agreent is also what she agreed to…”
“Agreed to?”
Ellis strode toward Keira and said bluntly, “I saw with my own eyes that you and your mother were
pressuring her. When did she agree… uh…”
With that sentence, he also got a clear look at Keira’s
face.
Yet it wasn’t the tear-streaked face he had expected. On that makeup-free face, there was not a single
trace of tears, and there was even a hint of a smile!
Her shoulder movents were due to suppressing laughter, not at all because she was crying.
However, none of these were the point!
The point was… the person in front of him, wasn’t this damp Keira?!
He stood there, stunned!
Keira, afraid that Howard would change his mind about
the divorce once he saw her annearance. still
turned her back to Howard but glared at Ellis.
She was annoyed that this man had almost ruined her plans and feigned grievance as she said, “Mr.
Ellis, my divorce from Howard was indeed voluntary. It’s beyond his control how he treats . Bla
for not seeing through people, being calculated against by a close friend…”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
Howard, unable to see the change in their expressions but noticing that Keera was willing to cover for
him, imdiately breathed a sigh of relief and cautiously dragged his suitcase towards the door. “Mr.
Ellis, you heard her. She agreed of her own accord. We… we’ll be leaving now!”
After leaving that statent behind, he feared that Ellis would settle scores with him, so he took his
mother and Cindy and imdiately ran out, driving away from the place at a breakneck speed.
Once he had left, Ellis was still in shock.
He gazed at Keira in astonishnt and only after a while did he find his voice again. “Keira? What…
what are you doing here?”
Keira feigned confusion. “I’m sorry, but I am Keera. Keira is Mrs. Horton, right? I attended her
funeral…”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
He stared intently at that face. “No, you’re Keira, what are you playing at? Don’t you know that after you
‘died,’ Lewis Horton nearly tortured himself to death? Since you’re not dead, why aren’t you hurrying
ho?”
Keira lowered her head. “I know her. It seems I look very much like her, but really, I am Keera.”
She turned her head, pointing to the picture fra of her and Amy that was hanging on the wall, and
then looked at Ellis. “I’ve always lived here. I truly don’t know the person you are talking about…”
Ellis looked at the picture fra, puzzled.
The assistant imdiately stepped forward from behind. “Mr. Ellis, the Keera we investigated indeed
looks like this. I have all her photos from childhood to
adulthood right here…”
Ellis imdiately looked at the files on the assistant’s phone, going through the photos one by one, and
realized that the person in front of him was truly
Voorn
But…
Keera and Keira looked so similar that they could only
be twins!
Keera was the daughter of his third uncle…
Did that an Keira was also his daughter?!
Upon further thought…
Ellis was stunned.
So, the daughter of Mrs. Olsen was the daughter of Uncle Olsen?
His mind felt a bit chaotic, and he couldn’t sort out these relationships for a mont…
Keira, fearing he might spout nonsense, lowered her head and pretended to be weak. “Mr. Ellis, why
have
you co?”
It took a mont for Ellis to react and understand, and then he looked at her with disdain. “Why have I
co? Isn’t it to support you? Keera, right? If you and Keira are twins, how co you don’t have her
spirit?! Look at the state you’re in!”
Keira kept her head down, not speaking.
E
Ellis, observing her timid appearance, felt a surge of anger welling up inside him.
He cursed. “This husband you’ve found, just look at him. He only cares about outsiders. And your
bestie, she’s sched against you behind your back. Keera, to live the way you have, that’s really
sothing!”
Keira was startled.
Only then did she realize that Ellis had investigated
her.
And just then, her phone vibrated. She opened it to find a WhatsApp ssage from Mary. “Keera, have
you divorced yet?”
Keira replied. “Divorced. Where are you? Let’s
celebrate.”
Mary said, “I’m busy tonight, let’s do it tomorrow.”
Keira suddenly had a bad feeling. “What are you doin tonight?”
Mary, however, didn’t reply again.
Keira furrowed her brows when she heard Ellis speak. “But don’t worry, I’ll get back at your husband for
you.
As for your bestie Mary. I’ve already taken care of
that!”
These words made Keira’s pupils shrink.
She rushed to Ellis and grabbed his arm forcefully. “What have you done to Mary?!”
Ellis, seeing her anxious deanor and recalling that Keera wasn’t crying before but laughing…
Suddenly, the things Mary had said flashed through his
mind…
Ellis abruptly realized sothing and grabbed Keira’s wrist. “You wanted the divorce yourself? Mary
was just going along with your plan?!
“Yes.”
Ellis’s hand slightly loosened
Then he abruptly turned to the assistant. “Where is staying tonight?”
The assistant didn’t react imdiately. “Who?”
“Mary Davis!”
anwhile.
Mary had already turned off her phone, took a deep breath, and walked to the door of a private room in
the hotel. She gently pushed it open and walked in.
As soon as she entered, Mr. Lynch grabbed her hair, and then his disgusting breath was sprayed by
her ear. “Tsk tsk, you dare to play ? Tonight, you’ll know what I’m capable of!”
Having said that, he tugged at Mary’s clothes and dragged her into the bathroom!
