171 Save Him
Everyone was stunned.
When Chasing Wind leaped over the railing, the whole horse almost seemed to fly.
Its pale golden fur shone with a brilliant luster under the sunlight.
Such speed and height made everyone’s hearts leap to their throats. An average person would surely be thrown off the horse’s back by such a maneuver, and even the riding coaches couldn’t guarantee their own safety!
They could almost picture Keira being tossed off, crashing heavily into the ground, and then having her ribs crushed by the horse’s hooves…
That bloody scene made everyone unable to bear watching!
Some of the young ladies of the rich families exclaimed in shock, subconsciously covering their eyes.
Others who were braver watched intently, worrying
09:26
1/9
171 Save Him
about Keira…
But the anticipated gruesome scene didn’t occur. Keira’s entire body was flat against the horse, and she was pulling the reins with one hand. The moment Chasing Wind leaped and landed, she remained firmly seated on its back!
Her figure merged with that of Chasing Wind, making her look like an equestrian deity descending from the
heavens!
“Holy shit! It actually worked!”
A rich young man who had been riding with Ellis exclaimed, unable to help himself. “That illegitimate daughter is kind of badass!”
The coach nearby breathed a sigh of relief but then frowned with worry. “This is just the first obstacle. The main thing is to see what happens next…”
His words made the people who had just relaxed tense up again!
Yes, jumping the railing was only the first obstacle. The most important part was catching up to Ellis’s horse, and then figuring out how to soothe it and make it calm down!
09:20
2/9
171 Save Him
Currently, the horse was in panic mode, and a non-professional horse trainer would never be able to
calm it down quickly.
Everyone frowned again.
Ellis felt he was done for.
He had tried all methods he knew to calm the horse, but still, he couldn’t get it to stop. He could feel the horse’s violence and unease from under him.
The speed of the horse kept increasing, and his body was being jolted so violently that even clinging to it tightly did no good.
At this speed, if the horse went berserk…
There was almost no chance of survival!
Ellis frowned tightly, but he didn’t regret taking the illegitimate daughter seriously.
She relied on a good marriage to bully Mrs. Olsen and her daughter, and he would teach her a lesson next time to take up for Mrs. Olsen!
He just felt some regret that he hadn’t lived long
09:26

enough!
He hadn’t found a wife for his third uncle yet…
And he hadn’t managed to trick Lewis back home to marry his cousin…
What he regretted most was that he had come all the
way to Oceanion and hadn’t even met that legendary horse trainer!
What a loss! His life had been too much of a loss.
As Ellis was thinking about this, a neigh suddenly came from behind him. With a slight turn of his head, he saw Keira, her face tense, rushing up beside him like a
heroine.
Ellis immediately frowned and said, “What are you doing catching up?”
Keira’ frowned as she stared at his horse. “Hold on
tight. Grab the reins…”
Ellis was immediately astonished, “You want to save me? Stop joking around. With your skills, you’ll just be sending yourself to death too!”
Keira gave him a cold glance and didn’t speak, still observing the horse.

171 Save Him
Horses wouldn’t just go mad for no reason, especially
those from the Horton family. Apart from Chasing
Wind, they had all been tamed and were very gentle by
nature.
There must be something that agitated this horse. Keira observed to find the root cause…
Yet Ellis scoffed. “What? Are you afraid that if I die, I’ll bring trouble for you? Then carry some guilt and stop bullying Mrs. Olsen and her daughter in the future! I despise nothing more than seeing others smugly triumphant!”
Keira said, “Shut up!”
Ellis went on. “Right, can I ask you a favor?”
Keira still said nothing.
Ellis coughed. “My idol is that mysterious horse train from Oceanion. If you meet her, please tell her I
admire her.”
Upon hearing this, Keira suddenly showed a strange look in her eyes.
She gave Ellis a long look.
This man wasn’t bad, actually. Even when he forced
09:26
171 Save Him
her into a horse race, he had remained by her side, shielding her. Otherwise, Keira wouldn’t have bothered playing the saint to save him
“Your horse riding skills are actually pretty good. You ride so fast yet so steadily. It seems you’re not just a pretty face. Lewis does have some taste… But don’t chase after me. Don’t overestimate yourself. You’re risking your own life…”
Keira sighed, then sped up once more!
Chasing Wind caught up with the other horse…
Ellis panicked. “Hey, what are you doing? You’re not intending to die with me, are you? It looks like you’re preparing for a lovers’ suicide, which is entirely
unnecessary…”
Before he could finish his sentence, his eyes widened in shock.
To his surprise, the woman in front of him suddenly stood up on horseback, hanging off the side of Chasing Wind like a circus performer, and with a burst of speed from Chasing Wind, she leaped up!
Then, Ellis felt a weight behind him. She was already sitting there her arm reaching past him to grab the
6/3
L
171 Save Him
horse’s reins!
Ellis was shocked.
He was horrified. “Hey, illegitimate daughter, do you have a death wish?! Even if you jump over, it’s useless. You can’t calm this horse down… This is practically suicide! You…”
There was no saddle or stirrups in the position behind him, and with the horse moving so fast, Keira would immediately be thrown off!
He instinctively looked aside and heard the woman’s crisp, calm voice of disdain in his ears. “Shut up, you’re so annoying!”
Ellis was speechless.
Just as he was about to say something else, the woman’s voice came from behind him again, “Sit tight
and hold on!’
Before he could understand her intentions, Ellis felt his waist being embraced, and then the woman’s body soared, performing a side flip from behind him to his front.
Next, Keira grabbed the reins and took control of the
05:20

+15

+15
horse.
She leaned down, gently stroking the horse’s head, then pulled back hard on the reins while simultaneously lying down to touch the horse’s belly…
“It’s no use. I’ve tried that all already! If you jumped over just to do this, it’s really unnecessary. Do you think you’re my idol?”
Having his reins taken away, Ellis could only grasp Keira’s slender shoulders. He had been on the horse the whole time and was acutely aware of the horse’s agitation and acceleration.
Since the horse began panicking, he had constantly tried these comforting gestures, but they were of no
use.
Therefore, seeing Keira making the same moves as he did, he couldn’t help but frown and speak out.
But to his utter disbelief, almost immediately after he spoke, he felt the horse beneath him gradually calming down!!
172 It Won’t
Ellis was stunned.
It had to be an illusion!
The horse was still galloping but the speed at which the scenery on both sides was receding was indeed slowing down…
He looked at the girl sitting in front of him in astonishment.
Keira was bending over, still stroking the horse’s head and body. She was still whispering something,
seemingly comforting the horse.
Chasing Wind had also caught up with them. It
gradually slowed down, leading their horse to a stop.
Keira finally sighed in relief.
And Ellis was already dumbfounded, looking at Keira in
disbelief.
She actually managed to do it?!
How could this be…
Caught in his amazement, Lewis and several other
1/0
C172 It Won’t
security personnel came galloping over on horseback, surrounding them and were immediately stunned by
the scene.
Lewis’s gaze immediately fell on Keira, and upon seeing that she had no visible injuries, he finally relaxed.
Then his cold eyes fell on Ellis’s hands had on Keira’s shoulder, and if looks could kill, Ellis’s paw would have been butchered a thousand times over by now!
He rode forward and coughed. “Ellis, haven’t you had enough riding? Are you not afraid the horse will get spooked again?”
Only then did Ellis snap back to reality and immediately dismounted.
Lewis then looked toward Keira. “Keira, you…”
“I’m fine.” Keira didn’t dismount but continued to gently pat the horse’s head, soothing its emotions.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Horton, was it you who calmed the horse down?”
Another person chimed in. “The horse was in such a bad state just now, and it got calmed down like that?”
09.27
279
172 It Won’t
“No, that can’t be possible, right? Under that condition, even a professional horse trainer might not be able to manage it… There have been several cases like this, ending in both human and horse deaths…”
“A similar situation occurred in Oceanion before, but at that time, it was resolved by that impressive, mysterious horse trainer…”
“The horse trainer? Mrs. Horton, you’re not saying that
you are…?”
Everyone gasped.
Lewis’s eyes widened.
When Keira felt the horse beneath her was calm, she straightened up and let out a breath. Hearing everyone’s speculation, she glanced at Ellis and saw that he had already widened his eyes in surprise…
Keira chuckled lightly, neither denying nor confirming it. “This horse got spooked because there was a wooden splinter on the whip, which Mr. Olsen had inadvertently dug into the horse’s backside.”
After saying this, she turned her palm over, revealing a wooden splinter.
09:27
3/9
172 It Won’t
This was why she had flipped over to Ellis’s back before calming the horse down from the front; when she landed behind Ellis, she pulled out the splinter
first.
Everyone saw the thick wooden splinter and gasped, then immediately turned to look at Ellis. “Mr. Olsen, how did such a large splinter get there?!”
Ellis was also dumbfounded and didn’t speak for a
moment.
Keira said indifferently, “Mr. Olsen, you were hitting the trees with this whip, weren’t you?”
Ellis was dumbfounded.
He suddenly remembered that he hadn’t been hitting trees with the whip, but when he was bullying Keira, he had used the whip to strike her horse’s backside, and upon pulling it back, he had carelessly hit a wooden post…
That was truly a case of shooting oneself in the foot!
Ellis suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed.
For a moment, no one spoke, and there was an awkward silence.
4/9
172 It Won’t
At that time, Jake and the others, some by car and some on horseback, finally arrived at the scene.
Without having seen clearly what had happened, they immediately gathered around Ellis. “Mr. Olsen, are you alright?”
Jake also started accusing Keira right away. “Keira, why are you being so serious with Mr. Olsen? If you hadn’t raced with him, such an accident wouldn’t have occurred! Uncle, I think you must give an explanation to Mr. Olsen today!”
At these words, Ellis felt even more embarrassed.
Lewis scoffed. “Ellis, what kind of explanation do you
want?”
Ellis quickly touched his nose and hesitated. “Well…”
He cleared his throat, “Today, Mrs. Horton saved my life, so I owe her a favor. Lewis, Mrs. Horton, if there’s anything you need help with in the future, as long as it’s within my capacity, I’m willing to lend a hand once.”
Upon hearing this, Jake was surprised.
The distance was too great from where they were
09:27 –
172 It Won’t
standing, and he hadn’t seen what had happened clearly. Did Keira save Ellis? How could that be possible?
SO
When did her horse riding skills get good?!
Leaving those words behind, Ellis then got into the car to head back. “Alright, it was just a small matter. Let’s return to the party and have some fun…”
Jake wanted to say something but knew it wasn’t the time to question it and immediately followed Ellis back.
After getting into the car, Ellis’s gaze stealthily shifted toward Keira.
Now what should he do?
He now owed this illegitimate daughter such a big favor. How could he help his uncle to protect Mrs. Olsen and teach Keira a lesson?
That was really too much!
A group of people quickly surrounded Ellis and left.
Keira, on the other hand, rode her horse alongside
Lewis on their way back.
09:27
6/9
172 It Won’t
The two of them rode side by side, chatting as they went along.
Lewis looked at her and suddenly asked, “You said you couldn’t ride horses.”
Keira immediately coughed and looked away evasively. “I didn’t say that. I just said horse riding was quite
fun…”
Lewis laughed, “Yeah, I was just a bit curious…”
“Curious about what?”
“I’m curious if there’s really anything my wife can’t do?”
Keira stiffened.
He called her “my wife”!
His voice was deep, and the two words he uttered were very magnetic as if something swept across her
heart…
Keira’s cheeks turned slightly red, and she smiled with a smirk. “There are still things I can’t do.”
“Like what?”
“Well, I can’t… pee standing up?”
09:27
7/9
172 It Won’t
Lewis was dumbfounded.
“Go!”
Keira turned her head back with a smile, raised an
eyebrow at him, then accelerated past the cars and ran toward the equestrian field.
Lewis watched her from behind, smiling indulgently, and sped up to chase after her…
Keira returned on horseback faster than they did by
car.
After dismounting with a flourish, she tossed the reins to a staff member and walked over to the rest area, then picked up a bottle of water and began to drink.
After riding for around two hours, she was indeed a b
tired.
Just then, she saw Frankie rushing over with Rebecca.
Upon seeing her, Frankie immediately sighed in relief. “Rebecca insisted on coming over, so I went to the entrance to pick her up. When we came back, I heard that Ellis caused you trouble? Are you alright?”

172 It Won’t
“I’m fine.”
Keira looked toward Rebecca.
Rebecca had already run to her side and took her arm. “Miss Keira, do you want to continue playing?”
“I’m done playing,” Keira stretched out a bit. “I’m tired.”
“Then come with us. It’s dusty and boring here. Let’s go back now, brother. Mom and Dad are waiting for Miss Olsen!”
Keira said, “Okay.”

Keira finished responding and then looked toward Frankie.
He looked into the distance and saw that Ellis and the others had also returned by car.
Frankie said, “I’m going to say goodbye to Ellis.”
In the distance.
Ellis hadn’t gotten out of the car yet when he spotted them. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, “Isla, does your illegitimate daughter actually know Frankie?”
The Allen family in Clance may not compare to the Olsen family but it still held a certain status.
Upon hearing this, Isla’s eyes flickered, and then she said, “Previously, Keira did Miss Rebecca Allen a small favor and became friends with her. It’s said that she has asked Mr. Allen for many favors. She established a company, and Mr. Allen gave her a lot of raw materials for free…”
Previously, Frankie had held up Keira’s raw materials,
00:27
170
173 Photo
and after the misunderstanding was cleared up, to compensate for the harm he had done her, he gave those raw materials as an apology gift without asking
for a cent.
Keira didn’t refuse.”
For people like them, money wasn’t the most important thing; favors were.
Being able to pay off what they owed with money was the most comfortable way.
However, Isla’s words made it very easy to give people the wrong impression.
Sure enough, someone who didn’t know the full story immediately said,
“She knew Miss Allen’s identity, so she helped her on purpose, right?”
“Of course, isn’t that obvious? Otherwise, why would she cling to the Allen family after just a small favor? How shameless can this woman be!”
“After all, she is an illegitimate daughter. She’s been watching us who live better lives since she was a kid and wants to leap over her class!”

“Suddenly, I think she’s so scheming. We all know that Frankie adores his sister. Rebecca is his Achilles’ heel, and this illegitimate daughter got to know Frankie through Rebecca. It’s terrifying to think when you think about it. It’s like she’s scheming step by step; isn’t she too calculating?”
“My god, I was wondering why this illegitimate daughter was desperate to save Mr. Ellis. It turns out she wanted him to owe her a favor!”
“She clung to the Allen family after just a small favor; Mr. Ellis, now that you’ve granted her a lifesaving favor, you better be careful!”
Π
In the midst of the crowd’s discussion, Ellis frowned
He had just changed his opinion about Keira, and now he stumbled upon this affair.
He immediately darkened his face and let out a cold laugh.
After getting out of the car, he walked up to Frankie, Keira, and Rebecca.
Just then, a staff member from the equestrian field
09:27
3/9
173 Photo
came to thank Keira. “Mrs. Horton, we really owe you one today; if something had happened to Mr. Ellis at our equestrian field, none of us could have borne the consequences!”
Keira waved her hand. “It was just a helping hand.”
Rebecca, the “Keira fan,” upon hearing this, immediately exclaimed in amazement, “… You just saved Ellis? In the midst of horseback riding? I can’t believe I missed your moment of glory! But Ellis is very skilled in horseback riding. If your riding skills outshine his, you must be the best in Oceanion, right?”
Ellis burst into laughter upon hearing this, “Best in Oceanion? She’s just showy with no real skill, and just happened to see a thorn on the horse’s backside! Rebecca, are you that simple? You believe whatever people say?”
Rebecca and Ellis were sworn enemies. At his words, she glared at him. “Then why didn’t you realize there was a thorn on the horse’s backside? Ellis, is it that hard to acknowledge someone else’s excellence?”
Ellis sneered. “Excellence? You must not have seen what truly impressive equestrian skills are like. I heard
09:27

THE horse trainer is in Oceanion; tonight, I’m going to meet my idol! Rebecca, being able to ride doesn’t mean you’re good at equestrianism!”
After saying that, he paused as he passed by Rebecca. “Also, here’s a piece of advice for you. Grow some brains, and don’t let that illegitimate daughter take advantage of you!”
Rebecca was dumbfounded.
She stamped her foot in anger.
Next to her, Frankie frowned, then, glancing at Isla in the crowd, he immediately understood something and said, “Ellis, I think this piece of advice suits you better! Grow some brains, and don’t let yourself be used by others! Some things aren’t as simple as they seem
the surface!”
Ellis immediately looked at him. “Frankie, everyone limits to how much they can spoil their sister. At least know who the legitimate heiress is and who the illegitimate daughter is. Is your sister confused between right and wrong? Do you think we’ll socialize with an illegitimate daughter? Are you kidding me? Lowering one’s status like that, you may enjoy it, but I

certainly don’t!”
“You…”
Rebecca pointed at him, anger evident in her gesture.
But Ellis didn’t say anything. He just cast a cold glance at Keira and left with the group of gentleman friends.
Keira looked down, silent the entire time.
When everyone had gone far away, she managed a
bitter smile.
Some things were determined from birth, and the label of “illegitimate daughter” might be something she could never rid herself of for her entire life.
If she married an ordinary person, others wouldn’ bring up her status all the time, but unfortunatel had married Lewis of a grand background…
“Ellis is simply too much! How can people be divided into classes? It’s infuriating!”
Rebecca stomped her foot in anger.
Keira took a deep breath and held Rebecca’s hand,
“Let’s not think about it anymore, weren’t we going to have dinner? What shall we eat tonight?”
09:27
6/9
173 Photo
Although Rebecca was outraged, she understood that the person who was probably hurting the most at the moment was Keira, so she quickly changed the subject. “Seafood, do you like it? Let’s have a seafood feast tonight.”
“Alright.”
Keira went to the changing room to change her clothes, then went out to greet Lewis, who had just stepped away to make a phone call.
She didn’t invite Lewis to join her for dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Allen because, for one, he was very busy, and for another, he cared a lot about the Allen family.
They said their goodbyes in the horse farm’s parking lot, and Keira and Rebecca took a ride in Frankie’s ca quickly arriving at the Allen residence.
Since Rebecca needed to undergo rehabilitation in Oceanion, and staying in the hospital was inconvenient, Frankie generously purchased a small villa here. By coincidence, this villa was in the same. community as the Olsen family’s villa.
Keira took a distant glance at the Olsen residence before looking away.

She probably would never set foot in the Olsen residence again in her life.
The car soon stopped. The three of them got out and entered the house.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen were already waiting for them in the living room. Upon seeing the three of them,
Mr. Allen couldn’t help but complain to Frankie, “I told you to come back earlier. You just had to go to the horse farm! Otherwise, we could have chatted with
Keira at noon!”
Frankie bowed his head to take the scolding, not saying a word.
Mrs. Allen couldn’t bear it and intervened, “The peop from Clance came, so how could Frankie not be the You’re always in such a hurry… We’ve seen the photo and confirmed the speculation. Tell Keira right now!”
Upon hearing that, Mr. Allen looked at Frankie and reached out, “The photo, give it to me!”
Frankie passed the folder in his hand to Mr. Allen.
Mr. Allen immediately took out the photo and handed it to Keira. “Keira, take a look at the person in this

Keira took the photo with a puzzled look and glanced
at it.
The photo clearly had some age to it, as the pixel quality wasn’t very sharp, and it seemed a bit darker than a normal photo, perhaps due to wear and
subsequent restoration.
In the photo were a man and a woman, likely attending some kind of gala, with a rather lavish background and both dressed in formal evening wear.
The young man was in his twenties and bore some resemblance to Frankie, leading Keira to immediately conclude that it was Mr. Allen.
But the woman standing beside Mr. Allen made Keira pupils constrict.
The woman carried herself with grace. She was slender in form and exuded a sense of time with her presence. Due to the low resolution of the old photograph, she appeared to be only in her thirties, but Keira discerned from her expression that she had to be at least in her early forties.

wasn’t the most important part; what mattered that this person looked a lot like Keira!
Not in demeanor, but in physical appearance!
Keira clearly remembered her own facial features…
When she was younger, every time guests visited the Olsen family, upon seeing Isla and her, they would subconsciously say she resembled Mrs. Olsen.
But once they realized the two weren’t mother and daughter, they would laugh it off, saying there was a resemblance in temperament, not in look.
Therefore, Keira had stared at her own reflection in the mirror countless times.
How she had wished, even if just one feature on her face was similar to Mrs. Olsen’s!
But there wasn’t any similarity, not her eyes, her nose,
or even her mouth…
A feeling of disappointment gradually took root in
Keira’s heart.
Yet, that also imprinted Mrs. Olsen’s facial features deeply into her memory.
29
<
174 It’s True
The woman in the photo seemed like an older version of herself by ten or twenty years when the baby fat on her face was gone, and her features more defined and sculpted…
If someone said this person wasn’t related to her by blood, Keira wouldn’t believe it!
She looked at Mr. Allen with astonishment and asked,
“Who is this?”
Mr. Allen stroked his chin and frowned in thought for a moment, “That should be Lady South.”
Keira was startled, “Lady South?”
“Yes.” Mr. Allen knitted his brows, pondering carefully. “It’s Mrs. Olsen’s mother…”
Mrs. Olsen’s mother… Keira’s mind seemed to explo
A strong, intense desire suddenly arose within her. If she looked so much like Mrs. Olsen’s mother, could it be that she was Mrs. Olsen’s daughter?!
Keira swallowed hard, stunned in place.
No, it couldn’t be, could it…?
She had fantasized countless times that Mrs. Olsen

was b
mother. Could it be that she’d fantasized so
frequently, she was now hallucinating?
She couldn’t help but look at the old photo again and
then pinched herself hard.
That hurt…
There was a sensation of pain.
Rebecca, seeing this, couldn’t help but rush over, blurting out, “Miss Keira, why are you pinching yourself? If you find it unbelievable, then, then…”
Rebecca glanced around, then said, “Then pinch my brother! It hurts less than to pinch yourself!”
Frankie was speechless.
His brow twitched.
Keira then looked anxiously again at Mr. Allen. “Uncle Allen, Aunt Allen, what do you mean by showing me this photo?”
Mr. Allen clearly noticed Keira’s agitated emotions, so he coughed and looked at Mrs. Allen.
Mrs. Allen drew closer to her and said, “Keira, I know
you’re a smart kid, so I won’t beat around the bush. I

just want to ask you, have you ever suspected that you aren’t the biological child of Poppy? She’s so good to
Isla yet so harsh on you, I really can’t understand a mother’s rationale for that.”
Keira frowned.
How could she not have doubted it?
But when she was taken away at the age of four, the police conducted a DNA test upon her return to ascertain her identity…
No, that wasn’t right.
The DNA test was conducted using Poppy’s sample, and it wasn’t until after the results confirmed her as the mother that Poppy was allowed to take the child
But was that sample really Poppy’s?
Keira clenched her fists, “Mrs. Allen, what you mean is, actually, actually…”
That speculation was a dream she couldn’t realize for so many years, so when it came to this crucial
moment, she found herself unable to speak it out loud…
As she opened her mouth to speak, she heard Mrs.

considered that maybe Mrs. Olsen is your mother?”
When Mrs. Allen voiced this response, Keira’s tears
began to fall uncontrollably.
Mrs. Olsen was her mother…
Was that possible?
Surprise, panic, confusion, and other complex
emotions suddenly crowded into her heart, leaving her
feeling a mixture of emotions.
This sudden happiness was almost too much to
believe.
She felt as if she were dreaming…
“Ssss…”
Suddenly, a low hiss came from beside her, and Keira turned to see Frankie frowning and holding his arm.
Rebecca asked, “Frankie, does it hurt?”
Frankie pulled a face, but looking into Keira’s bewildered eyes, he pursed his lips and played along.
“It hurts.”

“It’s true.”
Rebecca moved closer to Keira, “Miss Keira, I assure you, everything right now is true.”
Keira paused for a moment before breaking into a smile.
But she still couldn’t stop the tears….
She lowered her head to wipe her tears. “Sorry, I lost my composure a bit.”
“Nonsense.”
Mr. Allen raised his voice, “What’s this about? If we found out we’d been deceived, we’d definitely be more upset than you. Keira, don’t think about it for now. Come and have some food with us. As it happens, the Olsen family lives in the same district. After dinner, your aunt and I will take you to the Olsen residence to clear things up…”
Yet, Keira stood up abruptly. “I’m going now…”
She took the photograph and walked straight out.
Mr. Allen was stunned, “But you haven’t eaten!”

Mrs. Allen immediately smacked him, “I told you to discuss it after dinner, but you refused. Now that it’s been spoken aloud, who cares about eating?! Tonight’s seafood is going to waste!”
As she spoke, she put on her coat and chased after Keira.
Mr. Allen hesitated for a moment before following her.
Rebecca also wanted to go, but Frankie held her hand back, “Stay at home; don’t add to the chaos. I’ll go have a look.”
Rebecca understood that this visit to the Olsen family might end in an argument, and obediently nodded. “Frankie, remember, don’t let our Miss Keira be wronged or get hit!”
“I know.”
Frankie replied impatiently and walked out the door.
The night in Oceanion had turned chilly.
Keira still felt dazed as she stepped outside, but the cold breeze gradually brought back her reason.

175 Return to the Olsen Residence
As a child, Keira lived in a half-basement of the Olsen household, always looking up with longing and envy at the deep bond between Mrs. Olsen and Isla.
!
And while she lived there, she could never lift her
head.
Every time she returned home from school and saw the main gate, she would almost subconsciously lower her head.
After she left the Olsen family, she would occasionally sneak back, and as soon as she reached the doorway, she couldn’t help but bow her head…
The weight of her identity and the kindness of the Olsen family in raising her was so oppressive that she struggled to breathe and only wanted to keep her distance from this place.
Today was the first time she knocked on the door so
boldly.
“Who is it?”
The nanny’s voice came through, followed by the
09:20 =

175 Return to the Olsen Residence
opening of the railing door at the entrance.
Upon seeing Keira, the nanny immediately showed a look of disdain. “What are you…”
Yet, her gaze then fell on the several people behind Keira, and she hesitated slightly. “Mr. Allen, Mrs. Allen?”
Since the Allen family had moved into the
neighborhood, they had visited Mrs. Olsen before, so the nanny recognized them.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen, along with Frankie, walked up briskly and stood behind Keira.
Frankie said, “Could you please tell Mrs. Olsen that
Miss Keira has come to visit and see if it’s alright to see
her?”
The nanny dared not say anything more and merely bowed her head, hurrying toward the living room.
Keira and the three members of the Allen family stood outside the door, unable to enter before receiving the host’s permission…
Keira felt a sense of urgency
Even in such cold weather, she found her palms

beginning to sweat nervously.
Her eyes, warm as blooming peach blossoms, were fixed on the Olsen residence’s living room…
Countless times, she had peered through that window, witnessing the happy family of three, while she remained an outsider.
But today, Mrs. Olsen wasn’t sitting on the living room
sofa.
Right now, she was probably dining, right?
Keira was thinking when suddenly the sound of a vehicle approached from behind.
Everyone turned around in unison, only to see a luxury car from the Horton family parked by the curb. Then the car door opened, and Isla got out of the passengel
seat.
Jake got out from the driver’s side and immediately went around to the rear, opening the backseat door.
Then, Ellis alighted from the car.
After getting out, he didn’t enter the Olsen residence right away but walked to the trunk of the car, opened it, and saw several gifts inside.

175 Return to the Olsen Residence
Isla was still speaking politely. “Mr. Olsen, it’s so kind of you to visit my mother. There’s really no need to bring so many gifts; it’s too formal.”
Ellis, however, wasn’t putting on airs and simply said, “It’s only proper not to come empty-handed when visiting an elder. Moreover, I’ve heard… I heard that Mrs. Olsen has suffered from a chronic cough over the years, so I specially brought some nourishing products to help with her lungs…”
Isla wanted to say more, but Jake held her arm. “Take it easy, Isla. You’re still pregnant, be careful.”
Isla’s gaze darkened.
When had Jake begun to show her such concern?
She immediately glanced at Ellis.
It must be Ellis’s respectful attitude toward Mrs. Olsen that made Jake realize Mrs. Olsen had connections in
Clance!
The corners of her lips curved into a slight smile, and she nodded: “I know, Jake.”
The three of them turned around, and only then did they notice Keira and her company.

Isla frowned upon seeing them, her chin tensed up. “Keira, what are you here for?”
With the backing of Ellis, she went from addressing her as “Aunt” to Keira again.
Keira ignored her and kept her gaze fixed on the Olsen residence.
Jake immediately frowned upon seeing this. “Keira, Isla is speaking to you! How can you be so impolite?”
Frankie then said, “Miss Olsen is in a bad mood right now, she probably doesn’t have time to greet you.”
Jake was choked up, wanting to say something but not daring to say anything to Frankie.
The look in Isla’s eyes darkened.
After marrying into the Horton family, she realize that Jake wasn’t the best choice in the world!
Her vision had been limited to Oceanion; so many people in Clance were more formidable than Jake. If she hadn’t married Jake, maybe she could have relied on Mrs. Olsen’s connections to marry into Clance…
Ellis would have been a good choice!

175 Return to the Olsen Residence
It was all the fault of Mrs. Olsen, that old stubborn
woman, who never spoke of her past, causing her to make the wrong judgment.
Isla’s eyes harbored resentment toward Mrs. Olsen, and she tugged at Jake’s arm, “Jake, let’s not talk about it. Now that Keira has my uncle’s support, and also the support of the Allen family, doesn’t she get to enter the Olsen family as she wishes?”
Jake’s chin tensed, and his face darkened.
Ellis, on the other hand, frowned and glanced at Keira.
Wanting to say something, but seeing that something seemed off with Keira, and remembering how she had saved his life at the racetrack, he still managed to bite back his words, remaining silent.
Seeing this, Isla clenched her fingers tight and
suddenly lowered her gaze, sighing. “Keira, my mother hasn’t been well lately. It’s getting late; maybe you should leave. Come back next time, so you don’t upset
her…”
Only then did Keira look straight at her.
Thinking of the photograph with Lady South’s face,
which hore a lot of resemblance to her oum and then
09:28

looking at Isla, she saw that Isla looked like Taylor, but Isla’s face bore not a trace of either Mrs. Olsen or Lady
South.
The firmer her resolve became, the more everything seemed to point in that direction.
Keira remained silent.
Isla then lowered her gaze, “Keira, I’m begging you, could you not disturb my mother today?”
Keira still said nothing.
She was immersed in her own world, determined only to see Mrs. Olsen…
Today, no one could stop her!
Frankie spoke for her. “Miss Olsen wants to see Mrs Olsen; they have things to discuss.”
Before really confirming the mother-daughter relationship with Mrs. Olsen, the matter of the photograph still needed to be approached cautiously.
Upon seeing this, Isla turned to look pitifully at Ellis.
Ellis couldn’t hold back anymore and looked directly at Frankie. “Frankie, why are you protecting this

illegitimate daughter so much?! Have you decided to aid and abet her here?”
Frankie looked at him. “Ellis, the affairs of the Olsen family aren’t as they appear. I advise you to mind your own business.”
Ellis sneered. “Mrs. Olsen’s matters are my… they’re my business, and I will meddle in this idle matter! Today, I have the say about the Olsen family’s front gate; without Mrs. Olsen’s permission, no one is getting in!!”
He walked right up to Keira and said coldly, “Illegitimate daughter, you’re not going to disturb Mrs. Olsen today! And you’re certainly not going to upset
her!”
Keira frowned, looking at him.
Frankie then said, “Ellis, I think you’re mistaken. Miss Olsen and Mrs. Olsen have always had a good relationship; how could Mrs. Olsen possibly not want to see Miss Olsen? Besides, this is Miss Olsen’s home!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the nanny who had just entered hurriedly walked out.
09:28 E
176 Meet Mrs. Olsen
Keira had ignored the quarreling all along.
Upon seeing the nanny, her eyes lit up, and she directly bypassed Ellis, intending to enter.
Ellis frowned upon seeing this, blocking Keira’s path. “Hey, illegitimate daughter, I said you can’t come in!”
Keira paid him no mind, only looking at the nanny, “Did
Mrs. Olsen let us in?”
Her words took Ellis aback for a moment.
He had thought Keira had come to the Olsen family to show off since all illegitimate daughters generally didn’t get along with legitimate wives; they were naturally at odds.
Moreover, Isla had been instilling the image of Keira being a bully, relying on others’ power all day today, which made Ellis subconsciously believe Keira was
She didn’t understand why the girl’s departure stirred her emotions so much; all she thought about was the day Keira might come back to see her.
She had even dreamt over those years, dreaming that Keira was calling her “Mommy”…
Over the years, she had had no news from Keira.
She wanted to send someone to inquire about her but feared that Isla would be jealous and create a commotion, so she had been restraining herself…
Every time she asked Poppy, her response was always! “Why should you care about that ungrateful wretch?”
Mrs. Olsen had always been baffled as to why Poppy was so unkind to Keira.
Keira was once kidnapped by human traffickers when she was four years old; at that time, Poppy said, “It’s just a girl; if she’s gone, she’s gone. She’s not worth

anything.”
She was cold-blooded and selfish!
But now she finally understood, how could there
possibly be a mother in the world who really hated her own child?!
The reason Poppy was unkind to her was because Poppy wasn’t her mother!
She was!
Mrs. Olsen thought of this, and her eyes filled with
tears!
Keira noticed her agitated emotions, came over, and asked, “Mrs. Olsen, what’s wrong? Is there something you’d like to tell me?”
Is there something she wanted to say?
Mrs. Olsen felt like she had so much to say, to apologize, to acknowledge that she’d ignored her pas suffering, to admit that her negligence led to Keira enduring many years of hardship…
But all the words ultimately got stuck in her throat.
Just then, there was noise at the door.

entered, and as usual, she was meek, but upon seeing Keira, her expression turned to disgust. “Little slut, who allowed you to come to the Olsen’s? Are you here to pester Jake again? Let me tell you, Miss Isla is the true Miss Olsen, and you’re an illegitimate daughter. You’re nothing! Don’t think just because you married into the Horton family you can do whatever you please! You owe the Olsen family for raising you, and you’ll never be able to repay that debt in your lifetime!”
These words from Poppy caused Mrs. Olsen to tremble with rage.
All she could hear was the scolding Poppy had directed at Keira over the past few years, which she had
occasionally overheard.
“You are an illegitimate daughter, know your plac Miss Isla is your benefactor, and you must always your head before her!
“Little bitch, you dare glare at Miss Isla? You are nothing compared to her!
“Miss Isla was born a lofty fairy, while you only deserve to live in the basement! The gutter!”

178 Keira, Don’t Go
Mrs. Olsen felt a surge of anger welling up inside her, and her gaze toward Poppy was murderous!
Poppy had switched their daughters.
And she had pampered and adored Isla, placing her on a pedestal from a young age.
But what about her Keira?!
Her Keira had been thrust into hell, a hell that she and Poppy had together created! A hell from which her
Keira could never escape!
Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes.
She tried hard to calm her breathing…
Keira, seeing her strange behavior, asked, “Mrs. Olse what on earth is the matter?
Taylor shouted angrily, “Poppy, who let you in? You’ve agitated Shirley, and I’ll never let you off the hook for this! Take your troublesome daughter and get out! Shirley, how are you feeling?”
Poppy lowered her head, went over to Keira, and tugged at her, “What are you doing here again? You’ve

Keira’s face tensed.
She gave a bitter smile.
Indeed, what right did she have to come here?
every
She turned around quietly, intending to leave with Poppy, but as soon as she turned, her arm was grasped by someone.
Keira paused slightly, turned her head, and saw that it was Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsen had by then already opened her eyes, with tears falling before words could follow…
Two lines of uncontrollable tears slowly trailed down her cheeks, and she gripped Keira’s hand tightly, trembling. “Keira, don’t go!…
179 Regret and Hate
Keira felt Mrs. Olsen trembling slightly, with her overall mood also seeming very off.
She immediately took Mrs. Olsen’s hand/ “I haven’t left, Mrs. Olsen, what’s wrong?”
Taylor also supported Mrs. Olsen’s shoulders, asking anxiously, “Shirley, talk to me, what happened?”
Mrs. Olsen looked at Taylor, then pointed at Keira; her mouth opened and closed.
Taylor instantly said, “Speak, I’m listening…”
Mrs. Olsen then slowly began to speak, “Taylor, Keira…”
“Did Keira upset you? Shirley, what is really going on with you? Don’t scare me!” Taylor’s voice trembled, hi entire demeanor became so anxious his face turned
pale.
At that moment, Mrs. Olsen was suddenly overcome by a rush of anger and spat out a mouthful of blood, then her body went limp; she closed her eyes and fainted!
09:29

179 Regret and Hate
“Shirley!!”
Taylor cried out in alarm, immediately picking her up. “Quickly, call an ambulance!”
Aunt South, who was beside them, panicked and grabbed her phone, making the call.
Taylor had already laid Mrs. Olsen down on the sofa; his eyes bloodshot, he clenched his fists and, trembling, placed his fingers near Mrs. Olsen’s nose.
After sensing Mrs. Olsen’s faint breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief and then tried to suppress his own fear by continuously whispering in her ear.
“Shirley, Shirley, don’t scare me, if you just leave like this, I won’t be able to live either!”
His appearance greatly moved everyone.
Isla caught sight of the scene and frowned.
Jake looked anxiously outside as if waiting for the
arrival of the ambulance.
Poppy stood in the corner, her eyes dark and gloomy as she watched Mrs. Olsen with a crazed expression; she quietly stepped forward and asked, “Is Mrs. Olsen
not going to make it? Her health is so poor.

“Slap!!”
Taylor slapped her fiercely across the face, knocking Poppy to the ground. “Shut your mouth! If Shirley isn’t going to make it, I’ll have you buried with her!!”
Poppy’s face stung, and she could see stars. She crouched on the ground, wanting to cry out
something, but was frightened instead by the madness in Taylor’s eyes.
She stuttered, “Taylor, in front of the children, how could you hit me…”
Isla took a step forward. “Dad, calm down, you…”
The words behind were not yet finished when Taylor’s fierce gaze turned towards her, startling Isla.
Isla didn’t dare to speak.
After Taylor’s gaze lingered on her for a moment, it fell on Keira; he cursed, “Ungrateful creature, I’ve told you countless times not to come to the Olsen residence
again. Every arrival of yours worsens Shirley’s condition; do you want to kill her before you’re
satisfied?”
Keira’s mouth opened and closed as she tried to say

something, her gaze falling on Mrs. Olsen lying on the
sofa.
Mrs. Olsen hadn’t had an episode since taking the medicine Keira had prepared…
But indeed, every time she came over, it would agitate Mrs. Olsen and cause her to faint.
She bowed her head, clenching her fists tightly.
Frankie, catching sight of her demeanor, couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Olsen, Miss Keira hasn’t done anything this evening. Why take it out on her?”
“Take it out?” Taylor was usually very polite to Frankie, considering the Olsen family wasn’t anything significant compared to the Allen family.
But in that moment, he seemed a little crazed, and he spoke without any politeness. “She hasn’t done anything, but her very existence is a mistake!! If it hadn’t been for her, why would I have let Poppy into the house?! That old bitch schemed against me, and I’ll never acknowledge her!
“She relied on Keira to soften Shirley’s heart and to stay… So, Keira, your birth is the original sin! You’re unforgivable!!”

The words that Taylor roared out silenced the entire
room.
Keira stared at him blankly.
Her interactions with Taylor had always been scarce. When she was little, Taylor wouldn’t even glance at her. Later, when they occasionally met as she grew older, they acted like strangers.
Taylor only had eyes for Mrs. Olsen and Isla.
But she hadn’t expected that this was what he thought
too…
The words Poppy had said to her from childhood suddenly resurfaced in her ears.
“A costly mistake, little slut, do you think I would have stayed with the Olsen family as a nanny if it weren’t f
you?
“Hahaha, it was all because of you that Mrs. Olsen reluctantly took me in… So, do you think anyone in this family would welcome you?
“Why don’t you just die? If you died, there would be no problems! Your existence is a symbol of shame for
Taylor!”

Those brainwashing words that had always kept her from raising her head now echoed over and over in her ears, giving Keira a sudden headache.
She covered her ears, but those voices penetrated through every opening…
It was her fault… It was always her appearance that led to Mrs. Olsen fainting in agitation…
The ambulance arrived quickly.
Keira followed behind the group, dazed, as she watched Taylor get into the ambulance. She took a step forward only to be harshly pushed aside.
The ambulance doors shut, and the vehicle, sirens blaring, drove off into the distance.
Keira took two steps forward instinctively, only to s Isla standing in front of her, her eyes filled with mali “Keira, didn’t you hear what my dad just said? Stay away from my mom! Don’t ever show up in front of her again!”
After dropping those harsh words, Isla joined Jake in the car and chased after the ambulance.

Ellis also glared at Keira, looking like he wanted to say something. Seeing that her expression was off,
however, he held back the vicious words and drove off to follow the others.
His uncle had specifically instructed him to see what was going on with Mrs. Olsen, so he had to go and find
out.
After they all left, Frankie looked at the frail girl in front of him, about to ask if she wanted to go together when suddenly, a car sped towards them.
It screeched to a halt beside them.
The car door opened, and Lewis got out, walked straight to Keira, and put his arm around her shoulders. “Get in.”
Keira got into the car dumbly, and the vehicle immediately started up, leaving the three members the Allen family standing there, looking at each othe

He glanced at the girl beside him.
She had been quiet all along, but beneath that silent facade was a heart filled with panic and unrest.
Perhaps sensing his gaze, Keira suddenly looked at him, “Mrs. Olsen… won’t die, right?”
Keira was genuinely scared.
Mrs. Olsen lay on the sofa without any chest movement and looked as though she had stopped breathing…
Regardless of whether Mrs. Olsen was her mother or not, she didn’t care anymore. She just wanted Mrs. Olsen to stay alive, to smile at her again…
Lewis was taken aback and at a loss for how to respond to her question for a moment.
He quickly took Keira’s hand, noticing for the first tim how cold it felt, and reassured her. “She won’t die, Mrs. Olsen will be alright.”
With that promise, they arrived at the hospital.
Keira’s legs went weak, and she followed Lewis swiftly to the outside of the emergency room.

Outside the operating room, everyone was waiting
there.
Taylor was staring at the operating room door, his face ashen.
No one knew how much time had passed, but finally, the light inside the operating room went out, the door opened, and the doctor came out.
Seeing this, Keira’s heart leaped inside her chest.

The doctor’s expression was grave as his gaze swept over everyone present before he asked a question, “Who’s the family member of the patient?”
“Me!”
Taylor stepped forward.
He stared at the doctor’s face and asked, “How is my
wife?”
Hearing this, the doctor turned toward him. “She’s not
in critical condition now.”
Upon hearing this, Keira relaxed, but her hands unconsciously began to tremble.
“Dad!”
Suddenly, hearing Isla’s cry of alarm, Keira looked up just to discover that Taylor had collapsed onto the
floor.
It seemed that he had been extremely tense, and having heard the doctor’s words, he completely
relaxed.

While Isla and Jake tried to help him up, Taylor waved his hand. “I’m fine.”
His entire demeanor was like that of someone who had just taken a walk through hell, and now he finally
resumed the comportment of the Olsen family’s head of the household.
He stayed seated on the floor and looked up at the doctor. His voice was still shaky, and he seemed somewhat frightened. “What happened to my wife? Why was she coughing up blood? Is it serious…”
“She was agitated, causing a sudden spike in blood pressure, which led to the rupture of a blood vessel and the vomiting of blood. You got her to the hospital in time, and there’s no major issue, but the patient will need to keep her emotions stable and avoid further stimulation in the future.”
After giving his instructions, the doctor turned and opened the door of the operating room, and a nurse
wheeled out a stretcher.
Taylor immediately got up from the floor and
approached the stretcher, holding Mrs. Olsen’s hand tightly.

Burying his head in Mrs. Olsen’s hospital bed, tears rolled down his cheeks; he exuded a sense of relief as though he had escaped death, “Shirley, you nearly scared me to death…”
“Just transfer her to a regular ward; the patient isn’t in danger anymore.”
After giving this instruction, the doctor and a crowd of people surrounded the stretcher, proceeding toward the regular ward.
Keira followed them from a distance, her eyes slightly
red by now.
Once Mrs. Olsen had been wheeled into the ward, Isla and Jake finally turned their gaze sharply toward her.
Isla rushed over, accusing her, “Keira, how shameless can you be? You’ve harassed my mom to that point, so what are you doing here?!”
Keira didn’t speak.
But Lewis stood in front of her, his tone loaded with warning as he began, “Isla!”
Just hearing her name made Isla shiver.
However her gaze quickly fell upon Ellis. who was

standing nearby, and she immediately said, “Uncle, even if you intend to discipline me according to family law today, I must say this! If it weren’t for her insisting on entering our house tonight and seeing my mom, how could my mom end up like this? This whole incident is because of her!”
Lewis frowned upon hearing this. “Shut up!”
Isla put on an aggrieved face, and as expected, in the next moment, Ellis interjected. “Lewis, you really can’t tell right from wrong, can you? Now I see how you abuse your power here. I never thought you could be such a person!”
Lewis looked at him coldly. “What kind of person I am is none of your business.”
Ellis laughed derisively. “But if you try to bully the person I’m protecting, then it becomes my business! Lewis, you should know, not everyone here is easy to
provoke!”
He pointed toward the ward, fuming, “I’ve seen everything tonight. From start to finish, it was Keira who insisted on entering to show Mrs. Olsen some damned photo, then her mom, that shameless.

mistress, barged in to provoke Mrs. Olsen. That’s why this happened! With me here, it’s not your place to
bully the Olsen family!”
Only then did Lewis understand why Keira went to the Olsen house.
The Olsen family had always been an unspoken pain in Keira’s heart; she hardly ever visited unless necessary.
Today was supposed to be a visit to the Allen family to see a photo, but instead, she ended up taking the photo to the Olsen family… There must be something going on.
However, he didn’t ask right away but looked down at her and said, “Keira, you haven’t had dinner yet, have you? Let’s have something to eat.”
Keira nodded nonchalantly.
After descending the stairs, they found a random restaurant near the hospital.
Lewis ordered a portion of porridge for her and didn’t order anything else.
Keira stirred the porridge with a spoon, her eyes downcast the entire time, exuding an air of

disappointment.
Lewis thought back to when he first met her. The girl with those cunning, pretty eyes called him husband, and how she appeared before him later with various identities, always with a hint of playfulness.
She was like a little sun, forcibly barging into his life.
When had he ever seen his little sun so downcast?
Lewis couldn’t help but ask, “What photo did you look at tonight?”
Only then did Keira realize that she had been clutching that old photo in her left hand the whole time. She looked up and handed the photo to Lewis.
Upon seeing the person in the photo, Lewis was also slightly taken aback, and after a moment of silence, he spoke. “Your mother, Poppy, I’ve already investigated her. She and your uncle Finley’s mother don’t look like this… so this must be your paternal grandmother.”
Keira kept her head down, silent.
Lewis then said, “Last time you found out you weren’t Taylor’s daughter, Poppy said she didn’t know who your father was either. Looking at the photo, this

woman is dressed in luxury, and that’s Mr. Allen beside her, so she must be from Clance…”
He paused there, then suddenly asked, “Keira, who would’ve thought you turned out to be a lost heiress from a wealthy and noble family? If you get
acknowledged and taken back, you won’t look down on the Horton family for being of inferior social status and not worthy of you, will you?”
Keira slowly lifted her head.
He spoke unhurriedly, and his tone had a lightness to it; his deep, magnetic voice calmed her unconsciously.
At last, reason began to return slowly.
Just as she was about to say something, a snicker from Ellis came from the side. “Pfff, Lewis, the powerful and influential in Clance, the families who could look down on you, are just our few great families. What a joke you’re making. Keira, as an illegitimate daughter, where could she get such a high-born background?”
They slowly turned their heads and saw Ellis lounging at a table next to theirs. “I’m familiar with everyone from Clance. Let me see the photo; I’m sure I’ll recognize the person.”

He was curious about which photo had caused such a big emotional fluctuation in Mrs. Olsen.
Upon hearing this, Lewis hesitated for a moment.
Ellis was born and raised in Clance; perhaps he would really recognize the person…
Lewis passed the photo to Ellis.
Before Ellis could look at it, he heard Keira ask, “Has
Mrs. Olsen awoken?”
Ellis replied, “She should wake up soon. The doctor just said it would be about half an hour.”
No sooner had these words fallen than Keira stood up abruptly, her eyes regaining clarity, and her face shedding the weakness of moments before, as she said to Lewis, “Mr. Horton, Mrs. Olsen held onto my hand before she fainted, telling me not to go. She must h something to tell me; I want her to see me the mom she wakes up.”
Understanding her meaning, Lewis immediately said, “Okay, I’ll make the arrangements.”
Keira no longer wished to eat and stood up to leave.
Lewis quickly followed after her.
