Austin looked at Jackson with suspicion, not
understanding what was going on.
Jackson swallowed hard. “What thing? I’ve never seen
it!”
Keira imdiately grabbed his collar, almost lifting him
off his feet.
Jackson suddenly scread, “Auntie, look, she’s trying to kill ! This is a blatant bullying of the Gill
family!”
Lady Gill glared over in anger.
But Keira did not back down at all.
When Nara talked about the pendant yesterday, she hesitated, initially seeming reluctant to tell her,
wanting to avoid troubling her.
But in the end, she still wrote it down and told her, which ant the pendant was very important to her!
Nara was never one for troubling others. When she told her that Matias was sick last ti, and Keira
asked
if the family had money for the treatnt, Nara had
nodded affirmatively.
It wasn’t until yesterday’s visit that Keira discovered her family really was extrely poor.
Nara had graduated from college, and was currently just an intern with low wages-barely enough to live
on after paying rent.
Matias was an Outer Sect Disciple in the Freeman Sect, and the money he got every month wasn’t
much
either.
All the savings over the years had gone to Nara’s
education…
When Matias got sick, he went to a small clinic…
Therefore, Keira had to help Nara get the pendant
back.
Keira told Lady Gill, “That pendant is very important to my friend, so I must get it back. I presu Lady
Gill wouldn’t object, right? After all, it belongs to soone
else!”
Jackson spat out resentfully. “Her thing? Don’t try to scam us here! Yes, you’re just deliberately
provoking!”
Keira stared at him unflinchingly, her gaze briefly shooting toward the bulge in his groin. She scoffed
coldly. “Are you sure you won’t give it back?”
Jackson was frightened by her gaze and suddenly cried out. “I’ll give it back, I’ll give it back!”
It was then that Keira let go of him.
Jackson took a deep breath, then said, “I can give it to you, but take a look at , I’ve already changed
into patient clothes. I don’t have anything on , but I’ll send soone to deliver it to you once I get
back!”
Seeing he was, indeed, wearing patient clothes and didn’t appear to be carrying anything, Keira didn’t
trouble him further, simply saying calmly, “I should see that object tonight, or I’ll find out which hospital
you’re staying at…”
Jackson imdiately looked panicked.
Austin then said, “You…”
“Elders are speaking, don’t interrupt at will,” Keira cut
him off, silencing Austin. ”
Austin was speechless.
Keira indeed was the respected Senior Sister.
The respected Senior Sister had a special significance
within the whole Freeman Sect, so there was no problem in referring to her as an elder.
It was just that Austin felt aggrieved.
Keira took a step back, and only then did these people
leave.
After they had gone, Keira finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned toward Jas and Kate.
Before she could speak, Jas rushed to her, “Sister Keera! You, you’re actually my Senior Sister!
You’re too amazing! Co, let’s spar a bit, let witness the strength of the Senior Sister!”
“Step aside!” Kate also rushed over, grabbing Keira’s arm with glittering eyes. “Sister Keera, can you
teach how you can be so skilled in martial arts but have such soft flesh?!”
Keira was dumbfounded.
“Co on, tell , I hate those rock-hard muscles the
most!”
Keira twitched her lips and glanced at Trevor. “Maybe, it could be, because I’m not diligent enough?”.
Kate was confused.
Trevor didn’t know what to say.
Trevor glared at her. “Kate, don’t listen to her nonsense. She has endured too much inhumane
tornt since she was little, and that’s why she has
developed such great muscles. Normal people can only get them through training!”
Kate asked curiously, “What kind of inhumane
tornt?”
Uncle Olsen heard this and turned his head, pricking up his ears.
Trevor said, “When I first t her, she wouldn’t say a word to . Later on, I got friendly with a group of
old n and won, taking them to practice Tai Chi every day…”
Keira interrupted him. “You an dancing in the square, right?”
Trevor was dumbfounded.
The rest of the people imdiately looked at Trevor, unable to imagine their solemn Sect Leader
actually joining a group of people for dancing.
But Keira laughed.
prer
At that ti, her master only taught her for two hours a day; the rest of the ti, he was bored and
decided to strengthen the bodies of the old n and won. Initially, he had wanted to train them in
martial arts, but in the end, he was led to participate in dancing!
A master of martial arts, twisting his waist alongside a bunch of old n and won, it seed so
comical in
retrospect!
Trevor coughed. “That’s not important!”
He continued. “After I got to know them, so of them knew Keera and told a lot about her
childhood…
They said when she was just born, her mother wouldn’t breastfeed her, and she almost starved to
death… Later on, she was hardly ever given enough to eat and was made to do heavy labor, and then
they would beat her daily, which was light punishnt on her. She seed to frequently have broken
arms and legs, and was also forced to kneel as a penalty…
Trevor sighed quietly. “When I heard this, I got so angry. I wanted to rush over and kill that mother, but
she stopped . She said that, after all, she did give her life..”
Trevor still didn’t know the complexities of Keira’s background; he was still at the initial stage.
Keira didn’t explain.
Just as she was about to say sothing, suddenly she heard a deep voice suppressing anger. “And
what else?”
Trevor added. “Oh, I also heard that when Keera was about three or four years old, her mom
deliberately threw her to human traffickers. Later, it was the police who ca knocking, saying they had
found her daughter, and she even refused to acknowledge her!”
Trevor looked at Kate. “Would you want such a mom?”
Kate imdiately shook her head, then looked at Keira. “Senior Sister, your life was so tough!”
Jas also said, “No wonder a scumbag could deceive you, it must be because you were too starved
for love!”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
This guy was confusing her own life with Keera’s.
But she didn’t explain too much. “Alright, there’s nothing else. Everyone back to their position!”
Trevor nodded and then suddenly said, “Aren’t we forgetting sothing?”
“Seems like it… Isn’t there soone we still haven’t
dealt with?”
As they were speaking, everyone left at a leisurely pace. Erick Miles, who had been hiding in the crowd
trying his best to be invisible, finally breathed a sigh of relief!
Gosh…
He had already paid the price for his past assistance to Jackson in committing wrongful deeds!!
Lady Gill left the building with her people and
suddenly looked at Jackson. “What did you take from that girl?”
