"She always blames me and my mom for her mother leaving! She never liked me. She hates me! What's happening to me now, isn't it her revenge? She's still complaining about the Summers family sending her abroad back in the day. She wants to take everything I want and ruin everything I care about. She won't even spare Pulse Entertainment and the Olson Group. Lance, she has even taken the Watson family's investment now. Not to mention Fragrance Frenzy." Keira said.
Keira seemed to have found a strong excuse she could latch onto, her tone becoming desperate, full of hope as she looked at Lance.
Lance's expression subtly shifted at the mention of Fragrance Frenzy.
He slowly moved his gaze, looking down at Keira. His face was a complex mix of emotions, "The Watson family's investment was negotiated by Chloe herself. If they want to give it to her, that's Chloe's ability. If you hadn't lost control and used those photos to smear Chloe, the Watson family might not have withdrawn their investment! Even Harper Commercial Center, we can live without it. I can't bet the company on the Harper family alone. Keira, you don't need to use the Fragrance Frenzy to threaten me!"
Keira shook her head repeatedly, totally rattled by Lance's cold and direct attitude today. In the past, he would have softened and forgiven her soon.
"No, no, no, Lance, how could I possibly threaten you? The thing with my sister was a moment of impulsiveness, and losing the Watson family's investment was my mistake! I will work hard in this contest, and get good results! We're married now, just newly married. I'm dealing with too much right now, Lance, please, forgive me. Please, let's not have any more drama, okay? From now on, I'll focus on preparing for the contest and stay out of the entertainment circle, okay?" Keira said.
Looking at Keira's pale face filled with desperate hope and pleading, Lance's complex expression didn't ease.
Keira was even more confused about what Lance was thinking at this moment, "Lance."
Lance clenched his hands tightly, his voice filled with a defeated and lost tone, "Keira, can I really trust you?"
"You can! You can! Lance, we'll be okay in the future!" Keira said.
Lance’s eyes flickered as he looked at Keira, his expression obscure. But in the end, he nodded slightly, gently pushing Keira away, "I hope so."
Keira laughed nervously, wrapping her arms around Lance's waist and burying her face in his chest, her eyes full of laughter gradually turning cold and ruthless.
When would she stop being afraid? Only when Chloe was forever defeated by her!
The Olson Group now had a lot of issues; because of Keira, the stock was continually plummeting. He didn't stay long in Keira's hospital room before leaving in a hurry.
Carolina and Viviana re-entered the room. Since Keira was going to be discharged in the afternoon, Viviana was packing up lightly in the room, while cautiously asking Carolina, who was sitting on the sofa, "Mom, any ideas about Keira's wedding gift?"
Carolina furrowed her brows, thoroughly exhausted and with a splitting headache. Hearing this question, she became even more irritable, "Aren't you well aware of the current situation at home? You decide!"
Viviana was delighted. She looked at Keira and then said, "I mean, on dad's side."
