256 The Murderer
The room was very quiet, so Keira’s knocking became very distinct. @
Lewis paused for a moment.
He seemed to have heard Keira’s voice…
Although he knew it was wishful thinking, perhaps even a fantasy, since he had experienced this several times over the past few days.
Yet, he still looked up happily toward the balcony.
Indeed, through the glass door, the balcony was
empty.
Lewis furrowed his brows and slowly straightened up,
toward the balcony.
ne balcony.
at that moment, Keira’s mouth was covered by someone, and she was hiding to the side, struggling with all her might but unable to exert any strength!
Just then, she caught a glimpse of Lewis, who seemed to walk toward her. Keira’s eyes brightened slightly.

She stretched out her foot, ready to kick the flowerpot
next to her.
As long as she made a noise, Lewis would definitely come out and see her!
But just as her foot touched the flowerpot, the person behind her suddenly lowered their voice and said, “I mean no harm. I just want to remind you of something. Keira was killed by you, and if you still want to kill Lewis, then go ahead and meet him!”
Keira stiffened upon hearing these words!
The foot she had extended remained suspended in
mid-air.
What did they mean Keira was killed by her… did they mistake her for Keera?

, the danger wasn’t brought by Keera. It had always been there!
Keera once explained that the reason she

impersonated her and registered the marriage with
Lewis was to protect her… saying someone wanted to kill them…
At the time, she didn’t believe it.
This was a society governed by laws; how could it be possible?
But now, Keera was truly dead!
Keira herself had almost died!
An unknown danger had always existed, only she hadn’t known…
Keira felt that the person behind her had no malicious intent; otherwise, they could have easily stabbed her with the state her body was in right now. There was no

stopped struggling, and the person behind her owly let go of her.
Neither of them spoke. They could feel Lewis watching from the room toward the balcony for a long, long time. Finally, Lewis turned around and went back to where he had been.
The person behind her breathed a sigh of relief, and

Keira only saw a figure in a black cap and black mask blending into the crowd that had come from the main hall…
Keira didn’t chase after the person.
She looked once more toward the balcony door.
Even though that person had said those words, she still decided to clarify things with Lewis. She couldn’t let him continue to suffer in the pain of her supposed death…
But before she could take action, another knock came from Lewis’s room, and Tom spoke from outside. “Boss, Miss Davis called again, saying she wants to see you, or
else she won’t eat…”
“Then let her starve to death!”
Lewis’s tone was deliberate, the cold hardness of his voice carried a ruthless finality!
There was a pause outside the door, where no one dared to speak again.
Keira also stood frozen in place.

memorial hall.
She was now very familiar with the path from old Mrs. Horton’s courtyard to the main hall.
Surrounded by the familiar scenery, Keira’s eyes were heavy with reflections.
She had made her decision.
She would temporarily live as Keera because only Keera would know so many secrets; she had to stay in Oceanion to uncover the kidnapper and the murderer of her sister!
She had never been one to flee from problems, nor was she one to sit by and wait for doom.
She would gradually uncover the hidden dangers and swiftly eliminate them!
Keira’s gaze became firmer, her eyes filled with a determined edge.
Instead of going to the memorial hall, she found herself in the parking lot.
Howard’s mother was engrossed in short videos on her cellphone, laughing gleefully paying no attention to
Amy.

Amy had finished her milk and was now bored. She was playing with her fingers in the safety seat, appearing obedient and sensible.
Keira picked up the two-year-old Amy and walked toward the memorial hall.
Only then did Howard’s mother notice her presence and follow her with a mobile phone in hand. “Keera, where are you taking the child? The memorial hall is a solemn place. If this child starts crying and causing a scene, ruining Howard’s good fortune, I won’t let you off easily!”
Keira ignored the threat and quickened her pace.

intending to leave.
Mrs. Olsen hadn’t attended her funeral; she must have
been unwell, and Keira needed to check on her
mother.
But the moment she turned around, she saw Uncle Olsen standing right behind her, staring at her in
astonishment.
Keira instinctively called out, “Handsome Uncle?!”
Uncle Olsen immediately stepped forward. “Kid, it
really is you!”
