Mrs. Olsen’s gaze was sharp.

She seemed delicate and weak on the outside but was resilient and tough on the inside.

Taylor knew her too well. He immediately said, “I have never considered her as my own daughter. Shirley, I’ve told you before. In my heart, only your daughter is my daughter.”

Mrs. Olsen’s jaw tightened. “Is that so?” she asked.

Taylor sighed. “I was against letting them live with us from the start. You know that, don’t you?”

Only then did Mrs. Olsen nod.

Isla wasn’t there to listen to the couple’s declaration of their true feelings. She cut to the chase. “Mom, Keira has always listened to you. Please go talk to her. She’s now living at the Horton’s, where the nannies look

down on her…”

Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze

She had always been an open-minded parent.

Whether it was to Isla or Keira.

That was why she had never intended to intervene in Isla and Keira’s marriages.

Isla had forced her hand. She had to use extreme

measures to help Isla join the Hortons, which had deeply disappointed her.

As for Keira…

When she found out Keira was Dr. South, Mrs. Olsen felt joyous. A sense of achievement swelled in her as though her own daughter had come of age.

Now, one daughter had let her down, and

unexpectedly, the other had also done something

foolish.

Keira had always been a good kid; she couldn’t have been so reckless. Was there perhaps a misunderstanding?

Indeed, Mrs. Olsen was becoming somewhat anxious. She thought for a moment, took out her phone, opened WhatsApp, and sent a message to Keira. “Keira, you’ve been married for so long, and I still haven’t seen your husband. Bring him over for dinner when you

have the time”

After sending the message, she lowered her head.

She wanted to see what kind of man Keira’s husband

was.

If he was unreliable, then she would find a way to make them divorce and allow Keira to pursue a new

life.

If he was dependable, then she would persuade Keira to live together with him, as living apart from one’s spouse is never good.

When Keira received the message, she had just

finished lunch with old Mrs. Horton.

After the commotion that morning, her spirits had been somewhat low. After lunch, old Mrs. Horton insisted on not taking a nap but stubbornly turned to

Lewis.

“Brat, why didn’t you explain to everyone today that my granddaughter-in-law is indeed your wife?”

Keira looked up slightly upon hearing that, about to say something, when old Mrs. Horton anxiously asked, “Are you considering divorcing my

granddaughter-in-law later?”

Lewis paused for a moment. “Of course not, Grandma, don’t worry.”

Old Mrs. Horton then looked at Keira,

“Granddaughter-in-law, what about you?”

Keira hesitated. Realizing that Lewis’s gaze had also fallen on her, she finally spoke, “I won’t either.”

“That’s more like it!”

Old Mrs. Horton grabbed Lewis’s hand with one hand and Keira’s with the other, holding their hands together before speaking earnestly. “In this world, it’s difficult to find someone you like, and it’s equally hard to find someone who likes you. Finding mutual affection is even harder. Therefore, you must take responsibility for your future and not let go of each other easily.”

Upon hearing these words, Keira instinctively looked

at Lewis.

Just as he looked up at her.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Keira sensitively caught a flash of uncertainty darting

through his eyes.

He still hadn’t decided if he really wanted to be with

her.

This realization made Keira calm down, and she instinctively tried to withdraw her hand, but it was held tightly by his large, warm hand.

Keira looked up at him, only to see him clench his jaw.

She raised an eyebrow, signaling the man to offer an explanation.

Lewis’s gaze flickered slightly before he looked away.

Old Mrs. Horton’s words interrupted the silent questioning between them. “Brat, I’m asking you, do you like my granddaughter-in-law or not?”

Keira turned to look at him.

Lewis hadn’t expected the old lady to suddenly blu out such a question and hesitated, unsure how to respond.

A wave of disappointment suddenly swelled in Keira’s

chest.

Was it all just her wishful thinking?

She clearly felt that Lewis was fond of her…

She lowered her gaze, about to say something when Lewis’s deep voice rang out. “Yes.”

Keira was slightly stunned.

Her heartbeat raced.

Old Mrs. Horton then turned to her,

“Granddaughter-in-law, do you like…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Keira had already changed the subject. “Grandma, it’s time for your nap.”

Old Mrs. Horton paused mid-speech, then laughed. “Okay, okay, I’ll take my nap. My granddaughter-in-law is shy; I won’t ask you anymore.”

After that, she smiled and walked toward the bedroom, leaning on Fiona’s hand.

Once inside the door, the little old lady’s confused state vanished, and her eyes became sharp. She pee through the peephole in the door. “Fiona, they’ve bot confessed their love to each other; they should be together soon, right?”

Fiona didn’t know what to say.

The two outside the door still felt somewhat awkward.

Dressed in a suit, Lewis stood tall and commanding, drawing attention wherever he was. His superior appearance, together with his appropriate

conversation, made it difficult for Keira not to like him.

She dared not look into Lewis Horton’s eyes and coughed lightly before asking, “Did you say that just to please Grandma?”

Lewis clenched his jaw slightly, “No.”

Keira nodded, her gaze a little unfocused.

At that moment, her phone rang.

Keira picked it up to see a message from Mrs. Olsen. After reading the content, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

Lewis Horton inquired, “What is it?”

Keira Olsen handed him the message to read. “Isla must have gone home to tattle. Mrs. Olsen is worried I

come home for a chat!”

Lewis laughed. “So will you go back?”

As Keira was replying to the message, she said, “I’ll go back and have a look. Mrs. Olsen fainted yesterday, so I’m a little concerned.”

“Alright,” Lewis smiled. “Then I’ll go with you.”

Keira Olsen suddenly looked up, incredulously, “What?”

“I said I would go with you,” Lewis replied with a smile in his eyes. “Didn’t she tell you to introduce your husband to her? What’s the matter, you don’t want to bring one?”

Keira was surprised.

Well, that wasn’t the case!

She took a step back in silence, swallowed hard, and then cleared her throat. “Alright then, I’ll reply to her

message.”

Lewis continued. “Alright, I’ll have someone prepare some gifts. You regard Mrs. Olsen as your mother, so when I visit my mother-in-law, I can’t come empty-handed.”

Mother-in-law…

After receiving Keira’s message, Mrs. Olsen breathed a sigh of relief.

She had been afraid that Keira wouldn’t bring her husband back at all, which would mean she had made

Mrs. Olsen looked toward Taylor. “Keira is bringing her husband home tonight; let’s get the kitchen ready,” she

said.

Taylor seemed a bit impatient. “If she’s coming, she’s coming. What’s there to prepare? Shirley, you’re just too good to her!”

Despite his words, he gave a nod to Aunt South.

Aunt South then headed to the kitchen.

Isla listened to the conversation between the two, narrowing her eyes.

So, Keira was finally going to bring that pauper of a husband to their doorstep?!

127 GM

Good, she would make Keira pay today!

With a smile, she said, “Then I’ll get Jake to come home for dinner too. After all, it’s Keira’s husband’s first visit

to our house. We are sisters, so their husbands are

brothers-in-law.”

After saying this, she took out her phone and sent Jake a WhatsApp message. “Jake, come over for dinner tonight?”

Hearing that, Mrs. Olsen couldn’t help but frown and interjected, “Remind Jake to bring fewer gifts when he

comes.”

Isla was taken aback.

She clenched her fists tightly!

Of course, she understood why Mrs. Olsen would sa such a thing because Keira’s husband came from a poor background, someone not fit for the public eye. Was Mrs. Olsen afraid that Jake would overshadow

him?!

She felt anger, thinking that Mrs. Olsen’s favoritism had had gone too far.

Seeing her displeased expression, Mrs. Olsen quickly

explained, “Isla, don’t think too much. Tonight is to welcome Keira and her husband. His humble origins shouldn’t be highlighted too much compared to Jake’s.”

Mrs. Olsen simply didn’t want to embarrass Keira.

With a smile, Isla replied, “Sure! I’ll remind Jake.”

Although she said that out loud, over WhatsApp, Jake had already replied, “Don’t want to come.”

A tightness gripped Isla’s chest as she typed. “Tonight Keira’s husband will visit, so I thought to ask you to join us.”

Jake’s reply was quick. “What time?”

Isla clenched her fist. “He should arrive around six, so come around five-thirty.”

Jake said, “Okay, is there anything I need to bring?”

Although Jake could be arrogant, he was dependable action. The Horton family’s good upbringing didn’t allow for impolite behavior.

Seeing his response, Isla continued. “We got our certificate today, and it’s kind of like your first time coming to my home, so you shouldn’t skimp on the necessary gifts. But my mom just mentioned not to

husband from feeling inferior.”

She knew Jake all too well.

Just mention Keira’s husband, and he’d surely act

rebelliously.

Sure enough, the next moment, Jake’s message came through. “It’s my first visit, so it wouldn’t be good to appear too shabby. I’ll bring whatever I want, and you don’t need to worry about it!”

The corner of Isla’s lips curled slightly.

She put down her phone and looked toward Mrs. Olsen. “Mom, I’ve already reminded Jake. I told him not to bring too much stuff; I won’t compete with Keira for attention.”

Mrs. Olsen’s face finally relaxed a lot. “Good.”

At half-past five in the afternoon.

The humming sound of a car engine came from outside.

The sound was unmistakably Jake’s sports car.

A hint of a smile flashed in Isla’s eyes as she joined

Taylor and Mrs. Olsen to welcome their guest, only to see a blue Porsche parked in the courtyard.

Jake, in a high-end tailored suit, stepped out of the car.

His appearance brought a beaming smile to Isla’s face.

That sports car was a limited edition, and Jake’s outfit was worth several hundred thousand. Then they saw Jake walk to the front of the car, open the hood, and begin to take out some gifts.

The gifts were packed tightly, filling the entire vehicle! The Olsen family’s housekeeper immediately went up to help, carrying three to four gift boxes at a time, yet there were still more to be fetched.

With no other choice, she placed the items in the living room before running back for more.

After three or four trips, the floor of the living roo was covered with over a dozen gift boxes, every ite looking extremely valuable, including high-grade caviar, top-quality wines, and some jewelry pieces.

Any single item was worth several hundred thousand.

The total value of these gifts was estimated to be in

the millions.

Isla’s eyes were filled with envy!

It was no wonder the Hortons were the wealthiest family in Oceanion, their generosity was

overwhelming.

She turned her head to look at Mrs. Olsen, whose

expression seemed a bit off as if she wanted to say

something, so Isla spoke before her. “Jake, didn’t we say that it was just a casual family meal, and Keira’s husband is coming too. There’s no need to bring so many gifts…”

Upon hearing this, Jake casually replied, “I know. I’ve already cut down the usual amount by thirty percent. After all, this is my first time visiting my in-laws’ home, and I wouldn’t want to bring too little and com as rude.”

After saying this, he looked toward Mrs. Olsen ai Taylor, “Taylor, Shirley, you don’t mind, do you?”

Mrs. Olsen was always polite to outsiders, especially this son-in-law, and she could only suppress her displeasure, responding with a light smile. “Not at all.”

Tavlor then stepped forward “Next time you come.

don’t bring anything. You’ve gone to too much

expense.”

“How could it be too much for my in-laws? I still feel it’s too modest and that I haven’t properly honored

Isla.”

Jake chatted with Taylor as the two of them entered

the house.

Gifts from guests ought to be placed in the living room until the guests leave, at which point they can be put away; the sight of the gift boxes made Mrs. Olsen imagine how awkward it would be for Keira and her husband when they arrived!

She frowned and took a deep breath before signaling to Aunt South.

Aunt South came over.

Mrs. Olsen then said, “Prepare some gifts and wait outside for Keira and her husband. If they arrive, gi the gifts to them…”

Even if the gifts didn’t match in quality, they couldn’t fall too short in quantity.

She was now somewhat regretting having invited Keira

for dinner.

She cast another glance at Isla.

Isla complained. “Mom, I really did tell Jake. Look, my chat history is here. I think the Hortons are just too generous, and maybe he genuinely thought he had already brought too little…”

Mrs. Olsen didn’t know what to say.

She took another deep breath and gave further instructions to Aunt South. “Tell the staff, when Keira’s husband arrives later, don’t show any improper

expressions.”

“Yes.”

After arranging all this, Mrs. Olsen still felt uneasy.

She sighed and ultimately took out her phone, sg a message to Keira to give her some mental preparation. “Jake and Isla are here too, with quit few gifts. Keira, you should understand one thing. intention matters more than the gift. I don’t care about those things.”

Keira replied, “Understood, Mrs. Olsen. We’re on our way and will arrive at the Olsen residence in about

128 Here Comes

After sending the message, Keira looked toward Lewis.

He didn’t seem to have dressed up deliberately today.

However, Keira still noticed that he had changed into a wrinkle-free shirt, and the coat also seemed new…

He was tall and was very suitable for wearing a suit, and overall, his long legs were especially eye-catching.

He was very handsome and exquisite.

Keira’s attire was very casual. She wore an apricot sweater paired with light-colored jeans, looking rather youthful.

Together, the two were quite a pleasing sight.

Lewis had already prepared the gifts, and once T finished loading them into the car, he came in and “Mr. Horton, Miss Olsen, the car is ready. We can depart now.”

Both nodded and walked toward the parking lot.

Old Mrs. Horton waved and smiled as she sent them off. “Fiona, look at this perfect pair. My word, I wonder

111

how cute my future great-grandchild will be!”

Keira had just walked out of the door and nearly tripped over herself when she heard this!

She and Lewis had just made a bit of progress, and the old lady was already imagining great-grandchildren?

She couldn’t help but look toward Lewis with a mix of laughter and tears.

She saw his ears turn slightly red.

The two got into the Bentley, and the car drove away.

Keira had never thought about competing with Isla for anything, so she didn’t pay much attention to the gifts and simply said, “Mrs. Olsen never judges someone based on their status, nor does she look down on

anyone because of their background. So later, she might not speak to you with so much reverence…”

Lewis smiled. “Miss Olsen, you might have some misunderstanding about me.

She just wanted to check on Mrs. Olsen, then quickly finish the meal and leave.

Mrs. Olsen obviously understood her intentions and thus led everyone to the dining room.

They all took their seats.

The kitchen began to serve the dishes.

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Isla suddenly said kindly, “Keira, did your husband have dinner? He probably hasn’t had such a lavish meal, right? Maybe

you should save a bit of each dish for him, so he won’t have to eat leftovers.”

Keira didn’t respond.

Isla and Jake were truly a match made in heaven. They never knew when to stop.

She smiled faintly. “My husband can certainly afford meal.”

Isla immediately explained, “That’s not what I meant…”

Mrs. Olsen frowned and said sharply, “Isla, that’s enough! Keira is Dr. South. Even if her husband has an ordinary job, their family isn’t in need of money!”

O

Isla pursed her lips and said sarcastically, “Mom, how can you say they aren’t short on money? Have you forgotten the last time Keira came to you to borrow money for stock trading?”

At these words, Jake and Taylor immediately turned their gaze toward Keira.

Taylor asked with knitted brows. “You went into stock trading? The stock market is so volatile right now; only a fool would enter the market lightly. What stocks were you trading?”

Isla chimed in. “Keira, did you invest all the money you earned into the stock market and lose it? Is that why you haven’t bought a house or a car up to now? Mom is right. As Dr. South, you shouldn’t be short of money.”

Keira looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite smile, “I’m not short of money.”

“If you’re not short of money, why did you borrow from Mom to trade stocks?” Isla burst out in anger a she brought up the matter.

Because Keira borrowed the money, Isla couldn’t come up with the five million for Finley, which resulted in Connor killing Finley, and Connor had gone to jail…

12.12

This left her with a ticking time bomb.

After all, she didn’t know when Connor might spill the secret of her parentage!

Taylor, too, frowned and looked at Mrs. Olsen. “Shirley, you really spoil the child too much. She said she

wanted to trade stocks, and you lent her the money? Throwing money into the stock market like that is unwise!”

Mrs. Olsen defended Keira. “Keira said at the time that she had insider information.”

“What insider information?” Jake sneered. “I think she probably got scammed! The stock market is dangerous right now. No matter how much money you have, you’d lose it all! Fine if you suffer a loss, but why dra the Olsen family down with you?”

Keira frowned. She immediately took out her phone and passed it to them. “Who says I lost money?”

Keira had never thought about making money from

stocks.

The initial request for a loan from Mrs. Olsen was just

an excuse.

But she would never let Mrs. Olsen engage in a losing deal, so after taking the money, she did put it in the

stock market.

She hadn’t lied; there truly was insider information.

As Nora, she had developed so many clinical drugs that many powerful figures, unable to wait for the drugs to hit the market, had to buy from her.

Thus, Keira had a strong, invisible social circle.

Just a while ago, someone who got the medicine from her shared a piece of information, which Keira didn’t use for herself but used for Mrs. Olsen.

At this moment, that particular stock showing on her phone was soaring, almost hitting the daily limit.

Everyone who looked was stunned.

12.52

The stocks worth sixteen million had doubled in value!

It was an outrageous profit!

Mrs. Olsen was also stunned. “That’s so profitable! Keira, you must have invested a lot too, right? Take it out now. Stocks like this can’t last forever. Earning a bit is enough.”

Mrs. Olsen was very clear-headed and never greedy.

Keira didn’t explain that she hadn’t bought any and simply nodded. “I’ll sell them tomorrow and transfer the money back to your account.”

Mrs. Olsen immediately said, “Don’t. That money was already promised to you as dowry. Isla was right; you should buy a house for yourself, where you and your husband can live together.”

These words carried a clear implication.

Keira looked toward Isla and Jake.

After thinking for a moment, she didn’t refuse, “Alright.”

This pleased Mrs. Olsen.

Isla seized the opportunity to speak up. “Keira, it’s no

If you were to have children, they would be like you, with an awkward identity, garnering no sympathy. If they live well, people will say they achieved it through scheming; if not, people will say they deserve it…”

Keira tensed her jaw and put down her fork, about to speak.

“Shut up!”

Mrs. Olsen harshly cut Isla off, shocked at what she was hearing. “How could you say such a thing?!”

But Isla just sneered.

She was already married to Jake and no longer had t consider Mrs. Olsen’s feelings. She said directly, “I’m speaking the truth, aren’t I? Besides, I’m doing this for Keira’s own good. Or do you think that it’s good for Keira to have such a status? You don’t mind Poppy at all?”

Mrs. Olsen was left speechless.

Isla continued. “I’ve never seen any illegitimate

daughter treated with such sincerity by the wife of the family. Dad said it himself that he wouldn’t give her a second thought, but you, you treat her like a gem. Mom, does that mean in your eyes, I don’t compare to

her?”

She lowered her head to wipe her tears and then looked toward Keira. “Are you satisfied seeing me being scolded by Mom like this?”

Keira found Isla utterly nonsensical. She wondered what Isla was up to this time.

The next moment, Jake suddenly stood up, glaring at Keira. “Enough! An illegitimate daughter keeps causing trouble in this family. Shirley, Taylor, I think you really need to reflect on yourselves! I used to think Isla had

Mrs. Olsen wanted to say something, but upon seeing Isla’s victim-like demeanor, she couldn’t bring herself to speak. She reflected on herself.

12:63

Had she really been too harsh on Isla since childhood?

Mrs. Olsen looked stunned.

Jake then looked at Keira. “And you, you think you’re caring for Mrs. Olsen, but do you know that you have no right to care for her? On what grounds do you care for her? Every time you show concern, it’ll drive Mrs. Olsen and Isla apart!”

After saying this, he frowned. “An illegitimate daughter should stay in her dark corner. Don’t keep jumping out to disgust people!”

He seemed to be scolding Keira, but through her, it was as if he was scolding someone else.

Keira clenched her jaw.

Mrs. Olsen had already spoken up to rebuke him. “Ja Horton, you’ve gone too far!

She would never grovel to him just because he had a high status.

Taylor patted her hand, but Mrs. Olsen withdrew her hand and frowned at Jake and Isla. “A person can’t choose their parents. It’s unfair of you to speak to her this way!”

12:53

Isla immediately started crying. “Is it fair for you to let her take away the motherly love that belongs to me?”

Jake also frowned. “Shirley, you need to understand that Isla is your daughter! Keira is your enemy!”

Mrs. Olsen wanted to say more, but Keira tugged at her sleeve. “Ma’am, don’t argue with them.”

Mrs. Olsen was startled.

Keira stood up. She looked around and put on an indifferent expression. “Ma’am, I came here today just to see how you were. Since you’re in good health, I’ll take my leave first.”

Mrs. Olsen pursed her lips, looked around, and finally said in resignation, “Then let me see you out.” “Alright.”

Mrs. Olsen saw her to the door. Watching Keira get into the car, she asked, “Will you come again?”

“No.”

Keira’s reply left Mrs. Olsen feeling a void in her heart. Keira then smiled. “But we can meet somewhere else. You haven’t met my husband yet. Next time, I’ll

formally introduce him to vou”

Mrs. Olsen’s smiled, “Alright.”

The Horton family’s Bentley quickly left the Olsen

residence.

Once the car turned a corner and disappeared from view, Mrs. Olsen suddenly turned around, took hold of Aunt South’s hand, and handed her a strand of hair she had pulled from Keira’s head earlier. “Find an agency and get a paternity test done to see if Keira really is Taylor’s daughter.”

Aunt South was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

Mrs. Olsen looked down and didn’t answer.

Aunt South understood that she shouldn’t ask any

further and nodded.

Only then did Mrs. Olsen re-enter the dining room see Isla, Jake, and Taylor smiling and chatting agai if they would always be a happy, harmonious family

without Keira around.

1-121

Yet somehow, Mrs. Olsen always felt something was

missing.

After she walked over, she didn’t mention Keira again.

The family of four finished their meal then returned

12:53

111

to the sofa to chat for a while, and by the time Isla and Jake were leaving, it was already eight o’clock.

Mrs. Olsen and Taylor saw them out of the living room, and just as they came out, the nanny came running

over in a panic. “Madam, Miss Keira’s husband has

arrived!”
