Mary looked puzzled at Rebecca. “Who is he?” ”
Rebecca swallowed hard.
She had spent all of yesterday at the villa trying to please Lewis, but he was just icy cold to her and didn’t speak at all.
Just as she was about to inform Mary who he was, she caught the man giving her a quick glance.
Immediately, Rebecca dared not say anything…
Mary then said, “No matter who he is, he looks young and handsome. Let me tell you. His stamina is also really good, way better than that nearly
thirty-years-older Lewis! Plus, he’s a widower on h second marriage!”
The more she spoke, the more terrified Rebecca became, and she quickly explained, “Actually, Mr. Horton isn’t that bad…”
“Tsk tsk.” Mary looked her up and down, “Miss Allen, you don’t still have any improper thoughts about him, do you? I’ve heard before that you always wanted to

marry him…”
At this remark, Rebecca felt the chill around Lewis.
intensified.
She immediately waved her hands. “No, I don’t have that idea anymore…”
“You look down on him now, don’t you? After all, as
long as you have enough money to spend and your parents can support you for a lifetime, it’s better to find yourself a young lover like Keera than to marry a divorced man and potentially suffer later on, isn’t it?”
Rebecca was shocked.
She said, “No, it’s not that I look down on him…”
Mary asked, “You still fancy him? Alright, then go and compete with Victoria! To each their own!”
Rebecca was speechless.
Once more, she carefully and fearfully glanced at Lewis, only to see that he looked even more
displeased, and took Keira’s hand. “You must be ca who you befriend in the future!”

Rebecca felt that she would never be able to come
clean!
While they were chatting, Mrs. Jones finally came down the stairs with the two children. She looked at Keira with a joyous expression. “Miss South, you’re actually Uncle Olsen’s daughter! No wonder…”
No wonder she said last time that if they went to the Horton family, the deal would go through-it really did!
After pondering for a moment, Keira said, “There’s something I’d like to ask of you, which is to keep my identity a secret for now.”
Mary was slightly startled, recalling what Keera said about saving his mother, and her secretive demeanor since childhood; she didn’t ask any more questions.
However, Rebecca immediately became anxious. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t Uncle Olsen want to acknowledge you and take you home? If that’s the case, forget about that home!”
Mrs. Jones also looked worriedly at her.
Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Keira just smiled faintly. “No, it’s just that I still have some things

to do, and this identity hinders me.”
“As long as they don’t deny you, that’s good.” Rebecca patted her chest.
Mary laughed at her. “You’re overthinking it. With Christina and Victoria in the Olsen family, how could they not want you, their precious daughter?”
After saying this, she looked at Keira. “We won’t tell, but you probably have made it clear to Uncle Olsen. I can’t guarantee what Christina and Victoria will do, though.”
Keira wasn’t worried about them and just smiled. “Do you think they would tell anyone?”
Mary thought for a moment and came to a conclusion: Of course not!
As long as the Olsen family’s true daughter wasn’t home, they could remain the honored daughters o Olsen family. But if the biological daughter came ba the two adopted daughters would lose their position
Realizing this, Mary smirked.
Mrs. Jones, however, seemed to hesitate, looking at Keira without speaking.

Keira understood what she meant and stood up immediately. “The Olsen family has entrusted me with the position of kindergarten’s board director. I’ll take you back now and have George’s withdrawal
canceled!”
Mrs. Jones was instantly delighted!
She hadn’t expected Keira to be so perceptive and see right through her intentions,
She had meant to bring this up just now, worried that if Keira refused to acknowledge her help, she wouldn’t be able to arrange the schooling for the child.
Gratitude appeared in her eyes. “Great!”
Rebecca and Mary stayed at home to keep Amy company, while the rest of the group left the house with Lewis acting as Keira’s driver.
Mrs. Jones had her own car.
The two cars traveled one after the other toward the kindergarten.
Just as they left the villa’s underground garage, Lewis paused for a moment and took a glance in the
rearview mirror.

In an inconspicuous spot in the distance, three cars were parked.
A shadow passed through his eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, he looked back just in time to hear Keira ask, “Is it Uncle Olsen?”
Lewis nodded. “It looks like it.”
After saying this, he glanced at Keira again and said indifferently, “Uncle Olsen seems very domineering and authoritarian, but in fact, he’s quite righteous. He has a persistent affection for your mom and has remained unmarried all these years because of her. By the way…”
Lewis laughed a bit as he added. “Do you know why, initially, I went to the Olsen family on behalf of the Horton family to propose a marriage for Jake?
