Keira looked surprised, shaking her head. “No, what’s
wrong?”
Mrs. Olsen’s surname was South.
Mr. Allen looked surprised. “No? Are you sure you
aren’t mistaken?”
Her eyes, face, and even her expression were identical to a woman he knew! She looked exactly like that woman did when she was young!
Keira said, “No, I’m not.”
Mr. Allen frowned, looking disappointed. “Well, maybe I am just imagining things.”
Keira didn’t take it to heart.
Mrs. Allen couldn’t help but poke Mr. Allen quietly. “Who does Miss Olsen look like? By the look on your face, is she your old flame?”
Mr. Allen immediately begged for mercy and replied in a low voice, “Easy now, don’t say such things. She’s of an older generation! Her surname is South, and her daughter’s surname is South too. Upon seeing Miss

Olsen’s face, I thought that the elderly woman was her grandmother…”
Hearing this, Mrs. Allen realized she had misspoken and said, “Your disappointed look led me astray. How
could I not overthink it?”
Mr. Allen said awkwardly, “I had seen that elderly woman when I was young. The impression she left was unforgettable. If you had seen her, you would have felt
the same…”
Mrs. Allen was curious. “Who is it? Someone from
Clance?”
“She used to live in Clance, but who knows where she
is now.” Mr. Allen waved his hand. “I haven’t heard from her for years.”
After getting news about the Olsen family from Tom, Frankie came over and said, “Dad, I’m going to visit the Olsens. Their daughter deceived and played me. I need
to talk to them!”
Mr. Allen mocked him. “Our perceptive Frankie actually got tricked.”
He looked at Keira and asked, “What kind of person do
vou see Miss Olsen as? Should we let Rebecca befriend

her?”
Frankie turned red and didn’t reply.
Mrs. Allen, however, quietly looked at Lewis standing in the distance, sighed softly, and said nothing.
The banquet soon came to an end, and people started leaving.
Lewis personally saw the Allen family off.
Frankie had regained his composure. After exchanging a few words with Lewis, the group said their goodbyes at the parking lot.
Keira also came to say goodbye to Rebecca.
Even after getting married and divorced, Rebecca was still clinging to Keira’s hand like a child, “After going back to the hospital, you must come to see me. I am leaving tomorrow.”
Mrs. Allen was both frustrated and amused. “After going back to Clance, you need to go through your treatment. Once you are fully recovered, you can come to see Miss Olsen. We can get around so easily nowadays, but you make it sound like it’s a matter of
life and death.”

Rebecca was somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.
Keira also couldn’t help but smile.
As a matter of fact, she quite liked Rebecca. Raised carefully by her family, she was innocent and kind, clearly a happy child who had grown up in a caring
environment.
It was the kind of life Keira envied the most.
Keira lowered her gaze. “I’ll see you off tomorrow.”
Only with this promise did Rebecca seem satisfied. She
was hoisted into the car by Frankie.
Mr. Allen told Mrs. Allen, “You take Rebecca home. I am going to the Olsen’s with Frankie.”
Keira immediately furrowed her eyebrows.
The Allen’s wouldn’t be taking Isla’s deception lightly,
and it was reasonable for them to want to confront the
Olsens.
She thought for a moment, then decided to speak up. “Uncle Allen, I’ll go with you.
It wasn’t because she wanted to prevent the Allen

family from causing trouble for Isla; after all, she too was a victim and didn’t feel the need to play the saint.
She was more worried about Mrs. Olsen’s health.
Of course, Mr. Allen agreed. “Sure.”
Upon hearing this, Lewis approached Keira and said, “I will drop you off.”
But before he could continue, Tom reminded him gingerly, “Boss, you have an international conference
later…”
Lewis pursed his lip as if intending to insist.
Keira quickly said, “Don’t worry about me…”
Frankie also said, “Just ride with us. It’s on the way to the hospital too.”
He glanced at Keira, then quickly looked away.
Lewis’s eyes dimmed as he looked at Keira. She was simply stunning today…
He scoffed. “Never mind. Mr. Allen’s sight isn’t too
good. I’m afraid you may not see the road clearly when driving.”
Frankie was speechless.

Even in his calm demeanor, some part of him was
indignant. His expression hardened. “The Allen family isn’t too poor to afford a chauffeur. Mr. Horton, you must be making fun of me.”
Lewis was about to retort when Jalen jumped in. “I can take Miss Olsen. It’s on my way.”
The relationship between Lewis and the Allens was easing, and Jalen didn’t want to worsen it again!
All the senior executives of the Horton Group were watching!
Lewis nodded, seeming to reluctantly agree.
Keira followed Jalen to his car and sat in the back seat.
Once the car started, Jalen looked at Lewis through the rear-view mirror and then glanced at Keira. He cleared his throat, suddenly asking, “What exactly is your relationship with my cousin?”
Keira raised her eyebrows.
Jalen hastily added, “I should warn you. My cousin is married. Even though I haven’t met his wife, they have been married for two years and have always been close. You should be careful not to end up as the other

woman.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She rubbed her chin, her face a blend of smile and seriousness, “So, do you know who his legal wife is?”
“Who?”
Keira blinked, “Me.”
Jalen laughed awkwardly. “Dr. South, don’t joke with me. His wife is studying abroad; it can’t possibly be you!”
Keira didn’t say anything more.
They and the Allen family drove to the Olsen
residence.
Upon getting out of the car, Keira stepped in first, hoping to give Mrs. Olsen a heads-up and prevent her from being taken aback by the Allen family’s abrupt arrival.
She hastened her steps, and as soon as she entered the living room, she was greeted with a slap across her
face!

“Slap!”
Keira turned her head to the side, feeling a burning pain on her cheek. Her mouth was filled with a strong taste of rust as blood trickled down the corner of her
mouth.
Taylor stood angrily before her. “You ungrateful
creature! Why did you steal your sister’s credits?! Are you jealous of her and want her to be divorced by the Horton family?!”
…
The surprise in Keira’s eyes slowly faded. She licked the blood at the corner of her mouth and swallowed
the remaining blood, a cold feeling spreading through
her chest.
She looked behind Taylor to see Isla sobbing with red eyes on the couch.
The gentle and gracious Mrs. Olsen came over and seemed just as shocked. “Taylor, what are you doing? How dare you lay hands on Keira just based on Isla’s side of the story?!”
Taylor replied, “Shirley, I don’t care about the truth. All
I know is that Ialo is our daughter! As the Olgon’s

illegitimate daughter, she should uphold Isla’s reputation!”
Just as he finished his sentence, Mr. Allen along with his son and bodyguards barged in.
Upon seeing them, Taylor instinctively shielded Mrs. Olsen. “Who are you? How dare you barge into our
house!”
Frankie was about to say something but was interrupted by Mr. Allen, who exclaimed in surprisè, “… Jodie South? Are you Jodie South?”
