The butler hurried off again.
Lewis wanted to follow, but then he stopped in his tracks and turned to Keira. “When I was a child abroad, I learned some skills from Uncle Olsen, and he’s half a mentor to me.”
Keira immediately understood.
Lewis knew she didn’t want to see Uncle Olsen, so he took special care to explain that he had no choice but to see him.
Keira smiled, very understanding. “Got it, it’s fine. Go ahead.”
Lewis then squeezed her hand and turned to stride out of the room.
Keira stood at the door for a while, then looked at her phone and saw the message from Corey Mills. “Director Nora, I’m at the gate of the Horton residence. Should I come and pick up the medicine, or should the guard let me in?”
Keira stared at the message for a while.
Since Lewis was aware of the situation, and old Mrs. Horton was fine, she figured it was better to keep her identity secret for now.
The identity of Nora was just too sensitive.
In recent years, everyone had been paying more attention to health, and viruses had been erupting all over the world.
The problem was that the drugs she had developed over recent years were too effective, and she had almost become a target for many big shots, to the extent that she saw on the dark web that a queen from country Y publicly announced she would do anything to get Nora, even kidnap or deceive her, just to have Nora come over!
Keira certainly didn’t want to spend the rest of her life restricted and used as nothing more than a drug research machine!
She had just recognized her mother and encountered love, feeling that life was fulfilling.
With these thoughts, Keira replied to the message, sending the location of her private restaurant Fragrance House. “Let’s meet here tonight.
She had to talk to Corey Mills about the problem of some people pilfering from
the research institute.
After sending the message, she put down her phone and re-entered the living
room.
Oliver and Nathan seemed to have heard the noise outside, and both stood up excitedly as soon as Keira entered. “Was that Uncle Olsen they said just now outside?”
Keira shrugged. “Seems like it.”
Nathan immediately said, “It really is him; he’s an honored guest in our family!”
The Olsen family was one of the five major families of Clance, a family that could rival the Davis family!
The Horton Group was walking with the Allen family.
Nevertheless, the power of the Allen family couldn’t compare to that of the five major families, so if the Hortons could get connected with Uncle Olsen, they wouldn’t have to fear the repression of the Davis family anymore!
The joyful expressions of the two made Keira involuntarily purse her lips.
Yet, Oliver’s eyes suddenly shifted toward her, and he coughed before asking,
“Uncle Olsen didn’t come specially for you, did he?”
Keira thought it unlikely.
After all, would such a busy man have the time to be so idle?
He was the one in charge of the entire Clance Olsen family, just look at how busy Lewis was every day.
Keira said, “No.”
Oliver immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If Uncle Olsen really took special interest in Mrs. Olsen and backed up Keira, wouldn’t that put the first branch of the family at a disadvantage again?
He couldn’t help but ask, “Uncle Olsen came to the hospital before specifically for your mom. What’s their relationship? Your mom isn’t one of Uncle Olsen’s mistresses, is she?”
His question turned Keira’s expression cold in an instant. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
A dangerous aura of menace emanated from her.
A few casual comments about her were okay, but insulting her mom was not. Oliver recoiled in fright at her reaction and stepped back, stammering, “If it’s not, then it’s not. Why are you getting so agitated? Besides, your mom’s past her prime, and Uncle Olsen definitely won’t be interested in her…”
“Bang!”
Keira delivered a punch directly to Oliver’s face, making his head turn, and his cheek instantly swelled up.
Nathan was furious. “How dare you hit your older brother? Guards, seize this woman! I have to teach her a good lesson today, to make her understand what modesty and virtue means!”
The security guards outside, upon hearing this, all looked over but dared not act.
After all, not knowing that Keira was Lewis’s wife last time, those guards who had laid hands on her were still at home, nursing their injuries, and finding a job afterward had been tough.
Who would dare to lay a hand on Keira now?
Seeing that the group hadn’t moved, Keira said with a cold gaze, “If I hear you insult my mother again, I’ll hit even harder than I did just now!”
Nathan was also stunned by her behavior.
What kind of daughter-in-law threw punches so casually?
It was as if they couldn’t even touch her!
He felt humiliated by the threat, and in a fit of anger, he stormed off. “Oliver, we have important guest arriving. Let’s go welcome him. We won’t hold her accountable for now! After everything is over, we’ll teach her a proper lesson!” The pain on Oliver’s face was burning, and he even felt his teeth loosening. He could taste blood in his mouth, which made him especially furious.
And yet, unable to defeat Keira, he could only glare at her viciously before heading toward the silent Jake.
With a “slap”, he struck Jake across the face.
Oliver scolded him, “Didn’t you see your dad getting beaten? Is this how you act as someone’s son? What a waste! If your sister were here, she would have fought tooth and nail to protect me!”
Having vented his anger, Oliver felt somewhat relieved and followed Nathan out the door.
Keira took a fleeting glance at Jake.
Ever since the truth about Isla swapping identities with her came to light, Jake had been in a state of decline within the Horton family. Like now, he took a slap without flinching and merely touched his cheek.
Perhaps sensing Keira’s gaze, he promptly turned his head away with cold defiance.
Keira paid him no mind and instead headed toward the bedroom.
She hesitated a bit.
Having seen old Mrs. Horton wake up with a clear mind, she wanted to seize the opportunity to ask her about the truth of their marriage registration. This marriage had come out of nowhere and, although she was quite satisfied with her unexpected husband, she always felt like a sword was hanging over her head, not knowing when it might fall.
After a moment of thought, she knocked on the bedroom door.
Meanwhile.
Lewis had personally ushered Uncle Olsen into the parking lot.
Upon getting out of the car, Uncle Olsen asked, “I heard that old Mrs. Horton isn’t doing well; as a younger relative, I thought I should come to pay a visit.” Catching a glimpse of him, Lewis asked, “Are you sure it’s to see my grandma?” “Of course,” Uncle Olsen said candidly demeanor, his aura far from that of a liar. “Miss Keira must be performing her filial duties at your grandma s bedside, right?”
Lewis didn’t know what to say.
He knew Uncle Olsen’s intentions weren’t solely to visit the family.
But after a moment’s thought, he stepped aside. “Please.
Keira had just been scorned for lacking a powerful backer, and now her patron was here
When Nathan and Oliver witness Uncle Olsen’s attitude toward Keira later, their jaws would drop.. From then on, no one in this house would dare to look down on Keira again!
