Lewis found this task a bit tricky.
He coughed and couldn’t help saying, “It seems like he doesn’t really want to divorce…”
“He has no say in it.” Keira’s eyes flashed with a touch of fierceness. “Last ti, he even forced Mary to
take abortion dicine. Mary has given up on him completely; she even asked to do this a few
days
ago.”
Lewis coughed. “But if they get a divorce, doesn’t that an your first task has failed?”
Keira raised her eyebrows and suddenly looked at him. “Why do you think my first task was to get Mary
married to Ellis?”
Lewis paused slightly.
Both Keira and Lewis felt that the South family had their hands in far-reaching places, so when she was
outside, Keira always assud the identity of Keera.
At this mont, Lewis suddenly said, “Do they want you to form a cooperation with both the Olsen
family
and the Davis family?”
Keira nodded. “If I guessed right, that should be the case. The fact that Mary and I beca classmates
and best friends might also have been arranged by the South family.”
At the ti, Keera was young and was sent to the sa kindergarten as Mary.
Mary, being the daughter of the Davis family’s direct lineage, attended an absolutely high-end
kindergarten. How could Keera’s family afford to spend half of their annual inco to send her to such
a kindergarten?
They must have made up their minds early to have her befriend Mary.
Who the children befriend was sothing parents
could guide…
T
If Mary beca her friend, the cooperation with the Davis family would effortlessly be secured.
As for the Olsen family, only through the marital alliance between Mary and the Olsen family could they
maintain a close relationship with the Olsens!
Without knowing what the second task was, she might have been unable to grasp the reason behind
the first task, but once she saw the second task, she guessed
what it was.
Keira said, “Recently, Mary has been emphasizing one thing to , that she plans to divorce after
giving birth to her child. I didn’t understand why at the ti, but now I do. She must have overheard a
conversation between us unintentionally, knowing that my first task was to get her married to Ellis.
That’s why she endured such humiliation and married Ellis.”
Keira lowered her eyes. “Otherwise, she wouldn’t have needed to put herself through that, given she
had cash and savings.”
At this, she sighed silently.
The friendship between Keera and Mary could be described as a two-way dedication.
The most important person in Keera’s life was Mary.
But wasn’t it also for Keera that Mary sacrificed her
own happiness?
Lewis frowned. “Does Mary really want a divorce?”
“Yes.”
Keira continued, “She has wanted to divorce for a long ti, but for my sake, she changed the date in
the divorce agreent to after the child is born, which gives ti to save my mother.”
Lewis also understood Mary’s plans. “Fine, I’ll help her
with Ellis.”
Keira nodded.
Lewis suddenly said, “Have you been thinking about how to cooperate with Lady Gill?”
Keira imdiately looked at him. “Do you have any thoughts?”
“No.”
Keira felt a tinge of disappointnt.
Lewis then said, “But I do know a secret about the Gill
family.”
Keira’s eyes instantly lit up. “Tell !”
Lewis slowly said, “I’ve heard that the reason Lady Gill has beco what she is today is because,
fifteen years ago, she lost a daughter.”
Keira was stunned.
She had never heard of this before.
Lewis continued. “Very few people know about this, but the Gill family has never given up looking for
this daughter.”
Keira understood sothing. “You an, if we help her find the girl, maybe we can resolve the issue of
assaulting Austin?”
Today, the Sect Leader supported her, which had its pros and cons.
The advantage was that she could finally beco an apprentice in the open!
The downside, however, was that it made Lady Gill dislike her even more. Without resolving the
incident of her hitting Austin, the cooperation with the Gill family might not be achievable.
Lewis said, “I’m just saying there’s a possibility, but this girl is a bit hard to find. The Gill family has been
looking for fifteen years, and I’ve also asked Tom to search for her. But after all, it’s a fifteen-year-old
case and many clues have vanished, so we still haven’t heard
anuthing”

Keira then asked, “Does her daughter have any marks
or traits?”
Lewis replied, “Apparently she carries a crescent-shaped jade pendant on her, but I don’t know the
details. After all, they’re keeping a low profile while searching, fearing that soone might discover
their daughter and harbor bad intentions.”
Keira paused for a mont and nodded. “Let’s think of other ways. Searching for soone in the
whole of Crera is like looking for a needle in the ocean-it’s too difficult.”
The two of them made their way through several alleys, and finally found Matias’s residence following
the address provided by Nara.
Keira had just approached when she heard cries of pain coming from Matias’s yard!
“Matias, your mute sister is quite pretty. If you can’t co up with the money, why not send her to us to
settle the debt?”
That was Jackson’s voice.
This was followed by Matias’s angry roar. “Jackson, let
har gal I at her mal”
Jackson sneered. “I won’t, what can you do to ?
Matias, since you helped Keera bully and my older brother, then I’m going to let you know the
consequences of offending us! You guys, teach this little mute a lesson!”
In the yard.
The little mute Nara was shivering in the corner of the yard. She couldn’t make a sound, only the terror
in her eyes as two burly n approached her.
With one leg bandaged, Matias was dragging himself toward Nara, but before he could get there, he
was grabbed by soone.
Jackson walked over to him, “Co on, Matias, let’s see how much fun your mute sister is!”
A few n rushed toward the little mute and seized her arms, then dragged her to Jackson.
Jackson pointed to his cheek. “Co on, give a
kiss.”
Nara’s eyes widened in horror, and she looked at him with loathing before spitting at him.
Jackson just laughed, and in the next mont, he
viciously kicked Matias’s injured leg!
Matias couldn’t help but let out a horrific scream as a
reflex from the pain!
Sweat then started to bead on his forehead.
Nara imdiately shook her head, tears rolling down her face, her mouth open but unable to make a
sound…
Jackson stared at her, asking, “Will you or will you
not?”
Nara looked toward Matias.
Despite his intense pain, Matias still yelled at her.
“Don’t kiss him! You mustn’t… Ah!”
Jackson intensified his grip, causing Matias to cry out
in pain once more.
Nara struggled to rush over, and at that mont, a crescent-shaped jade pendant hanging around her
neck was exposed…
