Mary looked puzzled at Rebecca. “Who is he?” ”
Rebecca swallowed hard.
She had spent all of yesterday at the villa trying to please Lewis, but he was just icy cold to her and
didn’t speak at all.
Just as she was about to inform Mary who he was, she caught the man giving her a quick glance.
Imdiately, Rebecca dared not say anything…
Mary then said, “No matter who he is, he looks young and handso. Let tell you. His stamina is
also really good, way better than that nearly
thirty-years-older Lewis! Plus, he’s a widower on h second marriage!”
The more she spoke, the more terrified Rebecca beca, and she quickly explained, “Actually, Mr.
Horton isn’t that bad…”
“Tsk tsk.” Mary looked her up and down, “Miss Allen, you don’t still have any improper thoughts about
him, do you? I’ve heard before that you always wanted to
C
marry him…”
At this remark, Rebecca felt the chill around Lewis.
intensified.
She imdiately waved her hands. “No, I don’t have that idea anymore…”
“You look down on him now, don’t you? After all, as
long as you have enough money to spend and your parents can support you for a lifeti, it’s better to
find yourself a young lover like Keera than to marry a divorced man and potentially suffer later on, isn’t
it?”
Rebecca was shocked.
She said, “No, it’s not that I look down on him…”
Mary asked, “You still fancy him? Alright, then go and compete with Victoria! To each their own!”
Rebecca was speechless.
Once more, she carefully and fearfully glanced at Lewis, only to see that he looked even more
displeased, and took Keira’s hand. “You must be ca who you befriend in the future!”
וד
Rebecca felt that she would never be able to co
clean!
While they were chatting, Mrs. Jones finally ca down the stairs with the two children. She looked at
Keira with a joyous expression. “Miss South, you’re actually Uncle Olsen’s daughter! No wonder…”
No wonder she said last ti that if they went to the Horton family, the deal would go through-it really
did!
After pondering for a mont, Keira said, “There’s sothing I’d like to ask of you, which is to keep my
identity a secret for now.”
Mary was slightly startled, recalling what Keera said about saving his mother, and her secretive
deanor since childhood; she didn’t ask any more questions.
However, Rebecca imdiately beca anxious. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t Uncle Olsen want to
acknowledge you and take you ho? If that’s the case, forget about that ho!”
Mrs. Jones also looked worriedly at her.
Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Keira just smiled faintly. “No, it’s just that I still have so
things

to do, and this identity hinders .”
“As long as they don’t deny you, that’s good.” Rebecca patted her chest.
Mary laughed at her. “You’re overthinking it. With Christina and Victoria in the Olsen family, how could
they not want you, their precious daughter?”
After saying this, she looked at Keira. “We won’t tell, but you probably have made it clear to Uncle
Olsen. I can’t guarantee what Christina and Victoria will do, though.”
Keira wasn’t worried about them and just smiled. “Do you think they would tell anyone?”
Mary thought for a mont and ca to a conclusion: Of course not!
As long as the Olsen family’s true daughter wasn’t ho, they could remain the honored daughters o
Olsen family. But if the biological daughter ca ba the two adopted daughters would lose their
position
Realizing this, Mary smirked.
Mrs. Jones, however, seed to hesitate, looking at Keira without speaking.

Keira understood what she ant and stood up imdiately. “The Olsen family has entrusted with
the position of kindergarten’s board director. I’ll take you back now and have George’s withdrawal
canceled!”
Mrs. Jones was instantly delighted!
She hadn’t expected Keira to be so perceptive and see right through her intentions,
She had ant to bring this up just now, worried that if Keira refused to acknowledge her help, she
wouldn’t be able to arrange the schooling for the child.
Gratitude appeared in her eyes. “Great!”
Rebecca and Mary stayed at ho to keep Amy company, while the rest of the group left the house
with Lewis acting as Keira’s driver.
Mrs. Jones had her own car.
The two cars traveled one after the other toward the kindergarten.
Just as they left the villa’s underground garage, Lewis paused for a mont and took a glance in the
rearview mirror.

In an inconspicuous spot in the distance, three cars were parked.
A shadow passed through his eyes, and after a mont of contemplation, he looked back just in ti
to hear Keira ask, “Is it Uncle Olsen?”
Lewis nodded. “It looks like it.”
After saying this, he glanced at Keira again and said indifferently, “Uncle Olsen seems very
domineering and authoritarian, but in fact, he’s quite righteous. He has a persistent affection for your
mom and has remained unmarried all these years because of her. By the way…”
Lewis laughed a bit as he added. “Do you know why, initially, I went to the Olsen family on behalf of the
Horton family to propose a marriage for Jake?
Keira beca montarily lost in thought upo hearing this.
At that ti, she was forced by Poppy and Taylo shotgun wedding, only to discover at the courtho that
she was already married to Lewis.
Thinking back to these events now, they seed
almont aurreal
Back then, she lived a stifling life with the Olsen family, oppressed and brainwashed by Poppy,
struggling for freedom, and working hard at various jobs.
Gradually, she established her own courier company, a repair business, and even later developed new
energy sources, becoming Nora, and then…
Perhaps because of her lack of a sense of security since childhood, at that ti, she was obsessed
with earning more money, wanting to buy her own houses in various parts of the country.
Instead of forever living under soone else’s roof, especially in that dark basent of the Olsen
family.
Although life was hard back then, it was fulfilling.
But such a life lasted only two short months befe it was shattered.
The mysterious South family…
Her sister, who had appeared out of nowhere, die her…
It seed as if an ominous net called conspiracy ha suddenly descended from the sky, entangling her
firmly. She wanted to break free but had no idea
where to start…
She could only let things take their course, feeling a profound sense of helplessness.
Reflecting on her past life, she suddenly found the simplicity of those days more appealing.
Lost in her mories, Lewis continued to explain. “It was Uncle Olsen who sent . Over the years,
the Horton family has been assisting the Olsen family’s business, all because of Uncle Olsen’s care.
He knew that if the Olsen family tried to help, my mother-in-law would never accept it…”
Mother-in-law…
A surge of warmth passed over Keira’s face.
Seeing that she didn’t react with aversion, Lewi continued. “When my mother-in-law fell ill, Un Olsen
rushed to Oceanion overnight. It shows h always been concerned about her. In fact, there’s
misunderstanding between the two of them…”
Keira imdiately asked, “What misunderstanding
