343 Chapter 342
Keira and Lewis were seated in the reception room, surveying their surroundings. “I didn’t expect Rebecca’s home to have such décor. It’s quite cozy.
Lewis frowned, looking displeased. “Don’t you feel even a hint of danger?”
Keira, puzzled, looked at him, “What danger?”
Lewis coughed, then lowered his voice.” Rebecca covets a friend’s husband so openly. You should keep your distance.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She smiled faintly. “There must be some misunderstanding”
Lewis sighed and said nothing.
Over the years, whether during school or after returning to the country, many women had thrown themselves at him relentlessly, otherwise he wouldn’t have mistaken Keira, who came to him with a printout of the marriage certificate, as trying to hit on him.
But he could never have imagined that the obedient girl who always listened to Keira, filled with admiration in her eyes, would also take a fancy to him.
If Rebecca were only Frankie’s sister, he certainly wouldn’t be amicable.
But since Rebecca was also Keira’s friend and bestie, with whom she had a good relationship in Oceanion, he couldn’t be too harsh.
After all, a bestie’s pillow talk could be deadly!
Lewis coughed, and then messed up his neatly arranged hair a bit, and adjusted his sports jacket.
Seeing him like this, Keira asked, “What are you doing?”
“Making myself look uglier.”
Keira twitched the corner of her mouth, grabbing his hand. “Stop messing around. No matter what you do, you can’t hide your handsome features.”
At her words, Lewis indeed stopped his actions, but his ears gradually turned red.
Keira noticed he blushed easily, so she deliberately stared at him.
Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he cleared his throat to remind her. “Hold back a bit. Wait until we’re home tonight.
Keira laughed.
At that moment, there were sounds from the doorway, and then Frankie walked in with Rebecca.
Frankie had lost some weight since their first meeting. As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Keira’s face, a shadow flickering in his eyes.
Lewis immediately stepped forward, blocking his
gaze.

343 Chapter 342
Frankie looked at Lewis with a frown.
Keira didn’t notice the subtle actions between the two men, instead, she turned to look at Rebecca, only to see Rebecca lifting her chin slightly, lacking the gentleness and timidity she had shown in Oceanion, her manner now carrying a hint of haughtiness.
As soon as she entered, she stared blatantly at Keira, her eyes filled with hostility.
What was going on…?
While Keira was contemplating, Rebecca approached her and extended her hand. “Hello, I’m Rebecca.”
As Keira reached out her hand, about to touch hers, Rebecca withdrew her hand, feigning nonchalance as she touched her hair, then stared at Keira, “Keera, right? You really resemble a friend of mine.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Rebecca continued to stare at her. “Do you want to know who my friend is? Oddly enough, it’s Mr. Horton’s deceased wife… Did you know about this?”
Confused, Keira nodded.
Seeing this, Rebecca immediately furrowed her brows, her voice becoming somewhat shrill, “You knew?”
Keira nodded again.
Rebecca immediately clenched her fists, then let out a scoff. “You’re happy to be someone’s replacement?”
This time, Keira sensed something was wrong, and before she could speak, Lewis stepped in front of her, giving Rebecca a warning look. “Miss Allen, please mind your manners.”
“Are you defending her already?”
Rebecca’s attitude was harsh. She stepped forward, staring intently at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, since you’re here, it’s time I made some things clear.”
Her eyes were bright as she spoke. “Actually, I fancied you when I met Miss Keira. I just restrained myself because of her presence. Now that she’s gone, how about our families join in marriage?”
Lewis was perplexed.
His expression turned dark as he stared at Rebecca. He then looked back at Keira with a look that said, “See, this is your good friend!”
Keira hadn’t expected Rebecca to say such a thing and immediately said, “Miss Allen, you can’t talk nonsense like that.
But Rebecca looked straight at her. “I’m not talking nonsense. I want him. If you want to cooperate with our family, give him to me, or forget the cooperation!”
With that, she walked out.
Rebecca could leave, but Frankie didn’t want to fall out with Lewis. Their families still had to work

343 Chapter 342
together, so he stayed, looking helplessly at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, you heard what my sister said, right?
Lewis suppressed the anger and stared at him. “Do you always indulge her like this?”
Frankie shrugged. “There’s no helping it. She’s the only daughter of my parents, and she’s my only sister who has gone through such an ordeal. From now on, she can only be coddled.”
Lewis didn’t know what to say.
He looked helplessly at Keira.
But Keira stepped forward and addressed Frankie. “Mr. Allen, if the cooperation between our families is so frivolous, then let’s call it off. However, Miss Allen doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe you should take her to a psychiatrist?”
Frankle was startled.
Ever since Rebecca was brought home, she had become increasingly paranoid.
Her demands were now even more outrageous.
The family had thought it was due to experiencing a failed marriage and Keira’s death, so they hadn’t thought much about it.
But Keira had spotted the problem at a glance.
Was Rebecca having mental issues?
Frankie pondered for a moment, then nodded. “Thank you for the reminder, Miss South. I’ll take her to see a doctor.”
Keira turned and left with Lewis.
Frankie watched them leave and noticed that Lewis, when with Keera, still walked half a step behind her, just as he did in Oceanion when with Keira.
That was something that had shocked Frankie before.
It
t clearly showed how much Lewis valued Keira.
And now, he was doing the same with Keera.
Recalling the tone and manner in which Keera had just spoken to him… It was very similar to Keira’s. quite unlike the submissive Keera they had investigated.
This made him start to doubt again, could it be…
A suspicion suddenly took root in Frankie’s heart, and he found it hard to believe his own speculation, so he followed them out.
Just as he stepped outside, he saw Keera and Lewis walking toward the parking lot, about to get into a car when Frankie hurriedly took a few steps forward and called out, “Miss Olsen!”
Keira subconsciously halted a little.
344 Chapter 343
Keira was currently thinking about Rebecca’s situation, so she was somewhat distracted.
When Frankie called out to her, she subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Luckily, Lewis was quick to react, blocking Frankie’s line of sight swiftly, but by the time he had done so, he became acutely aware that the act of concealing itself revealed something.
Lewis cast a glance toward Frankic, and sure enough, he saw deep suspicion in his eyes.
Keira realized that something was amiss and, without turning her head, she went directly to the car.
Lewis sat in the driver’s seat, started the car, and as they drove past Frankie, Keira glanced at him.
After the car had left the Allen residence, Keira looked toward Lewis and said, “Do you think he noticed something?”
Lewis said indifferently, “He probably suspects something, but without evidence, he definitely can’t accuse you.”
Keira frowned, about to speak, but Lewis understood her thoughts. “Don’t worry. Frankie is a smart man. Even if he has discovered something, he won’t make a big fuss about it.”
Keira then nodded.
The two of them didn’t return to the South residence, but instead went to the Davis family.
Today, Mary was trying on wedding dresses.
As her best friend, Keira went to help her choose.
The car stopped in the parking lot, but Lewis remained seated in the driver’s seat. “You go ahead. Til wait for you here while I handle some work–related matters.”
He didn’t want to confront the Davis family again.
Thinking of the last time when Shirley stood before him, unable to recognize her son, Keira understood and nodded.
She got out of the car and entered the Davis residence.
Mary was now the most prized daughter of the Davis family, and naturally, Keira faced no obstruction upon entering, proceeding directly to the banquet hall.
This banquet hall was large, yet now it was filled with wedding dresses, with brand managers standing by their respective stations, waiting for Mary to come and make her pick.
It was as if a bridal shop had been moved into their home.
Keira was startled by the scene and looked toward Mary.
Mary also tugged at the corner of her mouth. “Uncle Ken and the Olsen family arranged this. They said since I’m pregnant, I shouldn’t overexert myself, so they asked the brands to send over their top wedding dresses…”
344 Chapter 343
Keira asked, “Isn’t that a bit too extravagant?”
Mary let out a soft sigh.
Extravagant?
It was the power of a prestigious family.
When she was young, while her grandfather was still alive, the children in the family would often buy clothes this way. But after the principal lineage split off, they no longer enjoyed such treatment.
How could Mary’s parents and grandmother, who were accustomed to enjoying such privileges, stand their current cold reception?
That was why they saw her as a key to re–entering a top–tier wealthy family.
She was about to marry Ellis, and her parents‘ status within the Davis family had risen, once again enjoying the treatment reserved for the principal lineage.
Yet Mary felt no joy, only a strong sense of helplessness and sadness.
Keira, sensing her lack of enthusiasm, helped her choose among the wedding dresses. “Bride–to–be, how about trying this one? Your neck is slender, and I think this dress suits you!”
However, Mary was disinterested. “No need, this one is fine.
She settled on one dress right away, sent the other brand managers home, and then looked at the sales clerk, pointing to Keira. “Help my friend choose a bridesmaid dress.”
Keira was perplexed.
She lowered her voice. “I’m married with a child… Isn’t that inappropriate?”
Mary immediately said, “Aren’t you divorced? Divorced means single. Of course, it’s appropriate! Keera, we had an agreement back in the day, that we would be each other’s bridesmaids…”
Hearing this, Keira paused for a moment, then nodded. “Okay.”
The sales clerk had the bridesmaid dresses ready, so Keira also casually picked out a white gown. was understated, which wouldn’t steal the bride’s thunder.
In less than ten minutes, they had chosen the dresses.
that
Just as the two were about to leave, Mary’s parents rushed over in a hurry, “Is that the choice? Isn’t that too casual?”
Mary said indifferently, “Anyway, whatever I wear will look the same”
Her mother wanted to say something else, but her father quickly interjected, “Right, our daughter is so beautiful, and all these wedding dresses are signature pieces from big brands; indeed, anything she wears will look good.”
After that, Mary’s father looked toward the door, “Mr. Ellis was supposed to come today to choose with you, how come he’s not here yet?”
Upon hearing this, Keira immediately looked at Mary.
But Mary lowered her gaze, “Well, he just sent me a message, saying he’s busy with something and won’t come today. Just have the sales clerk match the clothes to his size, and send them to the Olsen
11:45

family.”
At these words, her parents exchanged a glance immediately.
Her mother wanted to speak but ultimately remained silent.
Keira walked Mary back to the room, then suddenly asked in a low voice, “Mary, are you happy?”
Mary looked at her, suddenly feeling like crying.
Since her marriage to Ellis was decided, her family had been busy preparing for their wedding, but no one had ever asked her if she was happy.
Everyone thought that she was reaching above her station by marrying Ellis…
Only Keera genuinely cared about her.
But Keera needed her to marry Ellis.
Seeing her like this, Keira immediately said, “Mary, if Ellis can’t even make it for such an important day, don’t marry him.”
Mary quickly grabbed her hand. “What nonsense are you talking about? I agreed to this marriage.
Keira was about to speak when the door was suddenly pushed open, and Mary’s mother walked in.
As she entered, she saw Keira and immediately said with a smile, “Mary, among the dresses the manager just left, there’s one for Keera as a bridesmaid.”
Mary raised her eyebrows at her, remaining silent.
Mary’s mother chuckled awkwardly. “Here’s the thing, even though your wedding to Mr. Ellis is being arranged hastily, the whole town is watching. The marriage between the Davis and Olsen families is a big event, and the Olsens are planning to have Victoria serve as your bridesmaid…”
Hearing this, Mary nodded. “Sure, the bridesmaid group can have six people anyway… If she wants to
come, then let her.”
Her mother hesitated, then glanced at Keira again.
“Just now, your Uncle Ken said he would let his daughter be one of your bridesmaids, and the Allen family will send someone too…. You remember your aunt’s daughter Rebecca? She’ll also be your bridesmaid. With this lineup, Keera’s status seems somewhat insufficient…”
She seemed uneasy and looked at Mary. Seeing that Mary said nothing, she immediately turned to Keira. “Keera, you and Mary have been close friends since childhood, and I know that. So, regarding this matter… Mary is quite troubled…”
Upon hearing this, Keira immediately raised her eyebrows.
Was Mary’s mother trying to get her to back off gracefully and bow out?
345 Chapter 344
Keira snorted coldly. Before she could speak, Mary slammed her glass onto the table, producing a loud “bang“:
She looked at her mother and said, “Keera and I agreed to be each other’s bridesmaids at our weddings, Mom. If you won’t let her be my bridesmaid, fine, then I won’t be a bride either.”
These words startled her mother instantly. “Mary, you… that’s not what I mean… I just think that maybe Keera doesn’t want to do it anymore. After all, in the bridesmaids group, her status is a bit awkward… What if it causes unpleasant emotions later? What do we do?”
She muttered, “I don’t have any other intentions; I’m just thinking of your best interests. Besides, Mary, you think you’re doing Keera a favor, but is it really good for her? You want her to stand alongside the legitimate daughters of the five major families as your bridesmaid. Do you really think she’d be comfortable?”
Upon hearing this, Mary subconsciously looked toward Keira.
Keera had always been timid from a young age. Back then, when she tried to pull Keera into the circle of wealthy families to socialize, she refused because she wasn’t used to it.
Mary understood then that people from different circles shouldn’t be forced to mingle.
There was no need for Keera to grovel and curry favor with anyone…
So even though her mother’s words had ulterior motives, Mary still started to worry.
The next moment, they heard Keera say indifferently, “Auntie, you’re overthinking it. How could I not be comfortable to be Mary’s bridesmaid?”
That made Mary burst into laughter instantly.
Seeing her so oblivious, Mary’s mother also smiled awkwardly. “Well, that’s fine then. I’m just worried about you. As long as everything is okay, just remember to bear with it if those legitimate daughters give you a hard time at the wedding. After all, it’s Mary’s wedding. Let’s not have any trouble.”
Keira’s reply was cheerful and full of laughter, “Okay.
Feeling snubbed, Mary’s mother turned and left.
When she was out the door, her husband saw her and asked, “How did it go?”
Mary’s mother sneered. “She’s got such a commoner’s air about her! I bet she just wants to use the role to network with more people! Mary is actually indulging her.”
Mary’s father frowned. “Isn’t she overestimating herself? Being with so many high–status individuals, isn’t she afraid she won’t be able to hold her own?”
Mary’s mother huffed. “I’ve warned her, but your precious daughter won’t listen. She’s too protective!” Mary’s father sighed, “Well then, let it be. If she wants to go, she can go. Just hope she doesn’t make a scene and disgrace us!”
With that, the two of them left, discussing.

345 Chapter 344
Time soon arrived at the day of Mary and Ellis’s wedding.
Keira had stayed the night at the Davis residence, sharing a bed with Mary. They chatted until late before falling asleep. At five in the morning, they were woken up to prepare and do their makeup.
After washing up, Keira went out.
She saw a well–known makeup team enter the Davis residence, and the entire villa came alive at that moment, with servants bustling about.
The guards opened the big gates, and bridesmaids from other families came early.
From the window, she saw Victoria get out of a car, surrounded by household servants, arriving upstairs.
One by one, the bridesmaids continued to arrive.
Keira immediately spotted Rebecca, who was personally sent over by Frankle. Rebecca almost stumbled as she stepped out of the car.
Outside.
Mary, already in a long dress, was called by the makeup artists to the neighboring room for her makeup. Before leaving, she said to the head makeup artist, “The others haven’t arrived yet, so have your team start doing makeup for my friend Keera first.
“Of course, Miss Davis.”
With a makeup team, there was certainly more than one artist. Today, they sent over half a dozen. Six bridesmaids and one bride–seven people in total. Each person had their own makeup artist, and no one would interrupt another.
Therefore, Mary didn’t give it much thought and reminded Keira to remember her makeup appointment before she left with the makeup artist to the next room.
The bride’s makeup was, of course, the most important task of the day, which was expected to take two and a half hours.
After they had left, a makeup artist approached Keira. “Miss South, right? Let me do your
“Sure.”
Keira followed her to another reception room.
your makeup.
Before long. Victoria also arrived, and upon seeing Keira, she immediately curled her lip in disdain.
The unmarried daughters of the Davis family’s main branch had also come, and as they gathered to greet each other, someone glanced at Keira and whispered.
“What is Mary think With our status, we’re here to be bridesmaids to elevate her position, and
now she’s brought in such a low–status bridesmaid to insult us?”
Victoria put on a fake, scheming smile. “I heard that Miss South and Miss Mary get along very
well…
“Get along? I think she’s just a schemer, she’s got Mary so wrapped up that Mary can’t tell north from: south. Didn’t Mary recently invest in a project because of her? Mary almost got dragged down with it,
345 Chapter 344
and she still hasn’t seen the light!”
“I truly don’t understand what charm this woman has. What tricks she’s used to have Mary so utterly fooled that she’d do something so foolish!”
While they were talking, Rebecca appeared at the doorway.
As soon as she appeared, everyone immediately turned to look at her and quickly surrounded her.
“Rebecca, you’re here!”
“How are you feeling?”
“Can you make it through today? If you feel unwell, let us know,”
They all knew that Frankie had a sister complex and that Rebecca was doted on in the Allen family.
The Davis family wasn’t short of daughters, so they treated the daughters quite indifferently.
Although Victoria was a daughter of the Olsen family, her status was naturally lower due to being adopted.
Moreover, with Frankie being unmarried, Rebecca naturally became the center of attention as soon as she arrived.
Rebecca had never liked this kind of social interaction, and she still didn’t.
She nodded, intending to find a quiet place to sit by herself, but when she turned her head, she caught sight of a familiar figure and immediately halted.
Then, she cried out, “Keera? What are you doing here?!”
Keira immediately frowned.
She pursed her lips and sighed softly, looking at her. “Miss Allen…”
Rebecca’s eyes instantly reddened, fixing a deathly stare on Keira.
Why was this woman lingering like a bad spirit?
Was she trying to take all the attention from Miss Keira?
No!
Rebecca absolutely would not allow it!!
The people around her became aware that something was off.
“Miss Allen must feel that being a bridesmaid with her is beneath her status, right?”
“Exactly, some people just don’t recognize their own standing. To think they are fit to be with us…”
“Miss South, I see Miss Allen has some objections to you; perhaps you should leave first?”
As Keira listened to these words, she raised an eyebrow but remained in her seat.
Tina, the legitimate daughter from the Davis family’s first branch, then approached Keira. “Miss South, as you can see, no one here welcomes you. Perhaps you should leave first.”
346 Chapter 345
Keira narrowed her eyes but didn’t move.
Tina frowned and continued, “Are you worried about not knowing how to explain it to Mary? Don’t worry. I’ll just say you had something to do and left first.”
Keira sneered. “But I don’t have anything to do.”
Tina was dumbfounded.
She didn’t speak, and several of her female cousins started talking.
“Hey, how can you talk like that?”
“None of us welcome you here, can’t you see? You’re sticking around shamelessly. You really don’t care about your dignity!”
Keira looked up slightly, and she suddenly stood up, then with a forceful kick, she broke a wooden chair next to her, causing a loud crashing sound.
The few cousins immediately retreated, their faces losing color.
Only then did Keira blink and look at them. “Oh dear, I’m sorry. I must have used too much strength by accident. What were you saying just now?”
Just as the Davis family’s women were about to speak, Keira said, “Didn’t you all take two steps back, further away from me, to avoid getting any splinters accidentally?”
The crowd was speechless.
Those people instantly retreated a few more steps.
Tina looked at her. “Miss South, do you dare to commit violence in the Davis residence?”
Keira said, “Isn’t that what I did? What do you want to do about it? Call security to kick me out? Miss Davis, today is the marriage alliance between the Davis and Olsen families, and there are lots of journalists outside. You wouldn’t want to make a big scene, right?”
Tina was instantly choked up. “You…”
Keira let out a sneer, then pulled another chair over, sat down, and calmly looked into the mirror.
Tina huffed in anger and after a while waved her hand. “Forget it.”
The rest of the girls distanced themselves from Keira and sat in another corner of the room.
Victoria looked at Keira and suddenly said, “Let’s hurry up with the makeup too, so we don’t run out
of time later.”
This made Tina’s eyes light up, and she shouted at the makeup artist working on Keira. “Hey, come over here and do Miss Olsen’s makeup!”
The makeup artist hesitated, “Miss Davis, why don’t you let my colleagues help Miss Olsen with her makeup? I’ve just started on Miss South’s makeup.
“What does it matter if you just started? Who’s more important, her or Miss Olsen? Can’t you see?
11:49

346 Chapter 345
Although Miss Olsen is an adopted daughter, she’s currently the only daughter of the Olsen family who’s not yet married! She is the Olsen family’s pride and joy! Are you looking down on Miss Olsen?” Upon hearing the words “adopted daughter, Victoria’s face stiffened.
But Tina, unaware that she had said anything wrong, continued in her usual arrogant manner. “Do you believe that I could get you fired with just one word?”
The makeup artist was so anxious she was almost in tears.
Seeing this, Keira gently patted the back of her hand. “Go ahead.”
The makeup artist gratefully looked at Keira, packed up her makeup, and went over.
Seeing this, the other makeup artists didn’t dare to come forward.
Over half a dozen makeup artists gathered around the other five bridesmaids, doing their makeup.
Keira looked at herself in the mirror, she had only applied a simple lipstick and didn’t mind it. However, Rebecca looked at her several times.
She felt their behavior was a bit too much…
After finishing her makeup, Rebecca lowered her eyes and said, “Go and do her makeup.”
The makeup artist nodded immediately and went over.
The others looked toward Rebecca at once.
Rebecca clenched her jaw, speaking indifferently, “I just don’t want to put my cousin in a difficult position.”
If only
yone out of the six bridesmaids had no makeup, she would stand out, and it wouldn’t look good.
The others exchanged glances and then laughed. “Even if she puts on makeup, it’s useless. Later, when the groom’s party comes to fetch the bride, we’ll walk with the groomsmen. With her kind of status, which groomsman would invite her?”
During the fetching of the bride, everyone was to be taken to the hotel.
The bride would be picked up by the groom, and the bridesmaids by the groomsmen… Of course, if no groomsman invited Keira for a ride, the Davis family would arrange something for her.
But after all, it would look pretty bad.
Keira listened to their conversation and raised her eyebrows slightly.
Indeed, Lewis’s status could match that of Ellis’s groomsman, but Lewis didn’t want to visit the Davis family, nor did he wish to reveal his identity, and he intended to act as Keira’s personal bodyguard, so he wasn’t her today.
So, if no groomsman wanted to pick her up later, she could just drive over there, right?
What was the big deal?
Time quickly passed, and after the six bridesmaids‘ makeup was done, another half hour passed before Mary’s bridal makeup was ready.
<
346 Chapter 345
The six bridesmaids returned to Mary’s bridal room, and as soon as Keira entered, she saw Mary giving her a worried look.
She immediately smiled to show that everything was fine, which made Mary breathe a sigh of relief.
The following proceedings proceeded much more smoothly.
Keira found that these well–bred young ladies might not be so decent in private, but in public, they behaved very appropriately and gracefully.
Apart from Rebecca, none of the others bothered her again.
But even Rebecca just glared at her a few times, knowing that it wasn’t the right occasion to stir up trouble.
Soon, it was time for the groom to arrive and fetch the bride.
Yet there was no movement outside.
Ellis was stunned.
Ellis was initially stunned.
Right away, Ellis took out a medical report and threw it in her face. “Take a good look. I believed your lies and thought that this child might have that one–in–a–million chance of being mine, so I went for another test. The result is nothing but a self–inflicted humiliation!”
Mary’s parents had already run out to check multiple times. Her mother couldn’t help but urge her. “Mary, why hasn’t Mr. Ellis arrived yet? If he doesn’t come soon, you’ll miss the best time to leave! Call him and ask!”
Seeing her make the call, her mother went out again while Rebecca and Tina stood by, watching show, Keira was beside Mary, asking. “What’s going on?”
Keira stood up. “I’ll go find him.”
But her arm was grabbed by Mary. “No need to.”
Her words caused an uproar at the scene.
The people guarding her weren’t just bridesmaids but also various relatives and friends who had come to send her off. Hearing this, they immediately began whispering among themselves.
“No, haven’t you heard? Ever since they split from the main house, the second branch has been treating Mary as a tool. I heard she often has to accompany clients for drinks…
Victoria frowned and said, “I’m not sure about this, but I did see my brother go out for drinks last night… Maybe he drank too much and hasn’t gotten up yet?”
Victoria seemed to realize that she had said something wrong and quickly waved her hands. “I’m not too clear on this… My brother should come. After all, they’ve already taken the marriage certificate. He can’t divorce now, can he?”
The word “divorce immediately sparked everyone’s interest.
“To be divorced the day after getting married… the bride is so pitiful.
Then, she walked out of the room, one step at a time, and down the stairs.
The door of the lead car was opened, and Ellis, dressed in a suit, got out with a dark expression on his face.
Mary’s father’s hand froze midair before he hurriedly lowered it, and then he smiled ingratiatingly. “Mr. Ellis, was there a traffic jam on the way?”
Most of the young ladies from the Davis family’s main branch, Victoria, Rebecca, and the bridesmaids. who had come for the procession had been friends since childhood.
She turned directly to the groomsmen. “You’re not to invite her, and for today’s car fleet, you are not to let her on either!”
Rebecca’s gaze turned icy as she immediately looked at the person who had spoken.
But as soon as Rebecca remembered how Keera had taken everything from Keira, her heart that had just softened hardened again.
She was in a villa district where even a taxi might not come by for quite a while….
The procession started moving, and Keira took out her phone and indeed saw a message from “Have you gotten in the car?”
Thinking about this, Keira’s eyes showed a trace of sorrow.
Frankie said, “It seems to me that Lewis treats you in a special way.
Once Frankie had worked out this logic, he understood what was going on and fell silent.
Keira had already opened a cooperation document and handed it to him. “What if we are willing to collaborate with you and jointly develop a new project?”
