45 Family
Keira narrowed her eyes. “Speak.”
Finley took a step forward, lowering his voice. “This truth of mine, even if I sell it to you for a hundred thousand dollars, it’s still a bargain. The Olsen family is
so rich…”
“Does the truth have something to do with the Olsen family?”
Keira clenched her jaw.
“Yes.”
Finley gave a sneaky smile, “Actually, you’re…’

Before he could finish his sentence, an angry voice ran out, “Finley Hill, Keira Olsen, what are you two doing?!”
Keira turned her head, only to see Isla, disheveled and still in her party dress, running toward them.
Finley chuckled, “I’m just doing business with my
niece!”

Isla clenched her fists. “I already gave you the money!”
Finley shrugged: “But I need more money now.”
“How much more?”
Isla took a deep breath. “I’ll give it to you!”
Finley laughed. “Just now, my niece promised me a hundred thousand dollars!”
Isla tightly clenched her fists.
Finley heaved a sigh. “I guess I’ll make a deal with my
niece.”
“I have the money!”
Isla gritted her teeth. “You go first, I’ll give you the money tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Finley turned around and ran off, speaking to Keira as he did so. “My dear niece, consider that thirty thousand a loan…”
He ran off quickly, afraid that Keira would demand the money back.

What a deadbeat!
Keira remained unperturbed.
If she wanted to get her money back, she had plenty of
ways.
She turned and walked toward the hospital building.
Behind her, Isla answered her ringing phone. “Hello,
Jake.”
Jake asked, “Isla, I remember Mrs. Olsen is from Clance. Ask her if she knows anyone from the Allen Family.”
“The Allen Family?”
“Yes, the head of the family is named Frankie Allen. I just received news that my uncle wants to sign a contract with the Allen family, but he doesn’t have any
connections yet.”
Isla instantly saw light.
Jake wanted to use the Allen family to reinforce his standing in the Horton Group.
She answered, “I’ll ask my mom in a bit.”

After hanging up, Isla calmed herself down.
If she could marry into the Horton family, a hundred thousand dollars would be nothing!
She needed to think of a way to connect with the Allen
family!
Mrs. Olsen was staying in a second-floor VIP ward, and old Mrs. Horton was on the third floor. Keira and Isla ascended the stairs together
When they reached the second floor, they saw a
mother talking to her son.
The mother said happily, “Your third aunt called just now, saying she has introduced you to a rich girl. You must go for the blind date!”
The son complained, “Mom, my wife just needs surgery, and she’ll be cured. Why should I date
someone else?”
The mother said anxiously, “Didn’t you hear what the nurse said? The operation will cost seventy thousand dollars, not to mention the post-op care, which will cost more. Where will we get that kind of money?”

The son pondered for a moment. “Let’s sell the house. She bought it with her dowry.”
The mother shook her head in disapproval. “We can’t sell the house. If she dies, you could still find someone better when you have a house. If you lose the house, you lose everything! After having lived together for two years, consider the house compensation for your wasted youth!”
The son was taken aback. “That doesn’t seem right. She fell out with her family for me.”
The mother sneered. “It’s precisely because she fell out with them that she hasn’t been in touch with her family these two years. She can’t expect support from her family, and nobody cares whether she lives or dies.”
She lowered her voice. “We’ll just say we have no money and take her home. Once she’s dead, which will happen very soon, you can marry the girl from the blind date… This one has nice wide hips, which is a good sign for childbearing! She won’t be like your wife, who’s from a good family but doesn’t have enough luck

to enjoy it!”
The son squinted, suddenly interested. “Then let’s not treat her!”
Although the pair lowered their voices, the hallway was very quiet and had echoes, thus Keira heard everything clearly.
She paused.
She found the mother-in-law very wicked, and the son was equally disagreeable.
She wondered which unfortunate girl had encountered such a hideous pair.
Just as she thought of this, she felt something and looked toward the direction of the corridor. A frail girl with a very pale complexion dressed in a patient’s gown was standing by the door.
The mother and son also saw her, and their
expressions changed dramatically.
The son spoke up, “Rebecca…”
The girl named Rebecca said, “Call my dad. He’ll give

me the money for the medical fees…”
The mother scoffed. “We already tried, but as soon as they saw it was my son’s number, they hung up. You severed ties with them. Why are you looking for them
now?”
Leaning against the wall and barely managing to stand there, Rebecca was quivering all over. She was so weak that she almost couldn’t speak. She said to the son, “Then give me your phone. I’ll call my brother…”
The son blinked. “Don’t cause a scene. You’re seriously ill. The doctor doesn’t allow you to use the phone.”
Without hesitation, he said, “Mom, you go handle the discharge procedure. I’ll take her home.”
Rebecca tried to run but was too weak. She fell to the ground and used the last of her strength to latch onto Isla’s leg. She whispered, “Help me call my brother, please…”
As Isla was about to go to the second floor, she was closer to the hallway. When she was grabbed, instead of feeling sympathetic, she immediately withdrew her

leg!
She rolled her eyes in disgust. “What do you want? For a guy, you severed ties with your family. Someone obsessed with romance never ends well. All of this is your own fault!”
Seeing that she didn’t interfere, the mother and son sighed in relief.
The son picked up Rebecca. “Rebecca Allen, your parents don’t want you anymore. I’m your only guardian now. You’re obliged to listen to me!”
Rebecca was on the brink of despair…
She knew that going home with this mother and son meant death…
But she didn’t want to die. She knew she was wrong.
She wanted to see her brother; she missed her
parents…
Regretful tears rolled down her cheeks, and Rebecca closed her eyes.
Just as she thought her life would freeze in this
moment, an indifferent voice rang out, “Wait.”.

Rebecca opened her eyes, only to see the elegant figure stepping out from the shadows of the corridor.
