The butler hurried off again.
Lewis wanted to follow, but then he stopped in his
tracks and turned to Keira. When I was a child abroad,
I learned some skills from Uncle Olsen, and hes half a
mentor to me.
Keira immediately understood.
Lewis knew she didnt want to see Uncle Olsen, so he took special care to explain that he had no choice but
to see him.
Keira smiled, very understanding. Got it, its fine. Go
ahead.
Lewis then squeezed her hand and turned to stride out
of the room.
Keira stood at the door for a while, then looked at her phone and saw the message from Corey Mills.
Director Nora, Im at the gate of the Horton
residence. Should I come and pick up the medicine, or should the guard let me in?
Keira stared at the message for a while.

Since Lewis was aware of the situation, and old Mrs.
Horton was fine, she figured it was better to keep her identity secret for now.
The identity of Nora was just too sensitive.
In recent years, everyone had been paying more attention to health, and viruses had been erupting all
over the world.
The problem was that the drugs she had developed over recent years were too effective, and she had almost become a target for many big shots, to the extent that she saw on the dark web that a queen from country Y publicly announced she would do anything to get Nora, even kidnap or deceive her, just to have Nora come over!
Keira certainly didnt want to spend the rest of her life restricted and used as nothing more than a drug
research machine!
She had just recognized her mother and encountered love, feeling that life was fulfilling.
With these thoughts, Keira replied to the message, sending the location of her private restaurant
Fragrance House. Lets meet here tonight.

She had to talk to Corey Mills about the problem of some people pilfering from the research institute.
After sending the message, she put down her phone and re-entered the living room.
Oliver and Nathan seemed to have heard the noise outside, and both stood up excitedly as soon as Keira entered. Was that Uncle Olsen they said just now outside?
Keira shrugged. Seems like it.
Nathan immediately said, It really is him; hes an honored guest in our family!
The Olsen family was one of the five major families of Clance, a family that could rival the Davis family!
The Horton Group was walking with the Allen family.
Nevertheless, the power of the Allen family couldnt compare to that of the five major families, so if the Hortons could get connected with Uncle Olsen, they wouldnt have to fear the repression of the Davis family
anymore!
The joyful expressions of the two made Keira
involuntarily purse her lips.

Yet, Olivers eyes suddenly shifted toward her, and he coughed before asking, Uncle Olsen didnt come specially for you, did he?
Keira thought it unlikely.
After all, would such a busy man have the time to be so idle?
He was the one in charge of the entire Clance Olsen family; just look at how busy Lewis was every day.
Keira said, No.
Oliver immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
If Uncle Olsen really took special interest in Mrs. Olsen and backed up Keira, wouldnt that put the first branch of the family at a disadvantage again?
He couldnt help but ask, Uncle Olsen came to the hospital before specifically for your mom. Whats their relationship? Your mom isnt one of Uncle Olsens mistresses, is she?
His question turned Keiras expression cold in an instant. What nonsense are you talking about?
A dangerous aura of menace emanated from her.

A few casual comments about her were okay, but insulting her mom was not.
Oliver recoiled in fright at her reaction and stepped back, stammering, If its not, then its not. Why are you getting so agitated? Besides, your moms past her prime, and Uncle Olsen definitely wont be interested in her
Bang!
Keira delivered a punch directly to Olivers face, making his head turn, and his cheek instantly swelled
Nathan was furious. How dare you hit
your older
brother? Guards, seize this woman! I have to teach her
a good lesson today, to make her understand what modesty and virtue means!
The security guards outside, upon hearing this, all looked over but dared not act.
After all, not knowing that Keira was Lewiss wife last time, those guards who had laid hands on her were still at home, nursing their injuries, and finding a job afterward had been tough.
Who would dara to lov a hand on Kaira now?

Seeing that the group hadnt moved, Keira said with a cold gaze, If I hear you insult my mother again, Ill hit even harder than I did just now!
Nathan was also stunned by her behavior.
What kind of daughter-in-law threw punches so casually?
It was as if they couldnt even touch her!
He felt humiliated by the threat, and in a fit of anger, he stormed off. Oliver, we have important guest arriving. Lets go welcome him. We wont hold her accountable for now! After everything is over, well teach her a proper lesson!
The pain on Olivers face was burning, and he even felt his teeth loosening. He could taste blood in his mouth, which made him especially furious.
And yet, unable to defeat Keira, he could only glare at her viciously before heading toward the silent Jake.
With a slap, he struck Jake across the face.
Oliver scolded him, Didnt you see your dad getting beaten? Is this how you act as someones son? What a waste! If your sister were here, she would have fought

tooth and nail to protect me!

Having vented his anger, Oliver felt somewhat relieved and followed Nathan out the door.
Keira took a fleeting glance at Jake.
Ever since the truth about Isla swapping identities with her came to light, Jake had been in a state of decline within the Horton family. Like now, he took a slap without flinching and merely touched his cheek.
Perhaps sensing Keiras gaze, he promptly turned his head away with cold defiance.
Keira paid him no mind and instead headed toward the
bedroom.
She hesitated a bit.
Having seen old Mrs. Horton wake up with a clear mind, she wanted to seize the opportunity to ask her about the truth of their marriage registration.
This marriage had come out of nowhere and, although she was quite satisfied with her unexpected husband, she always felt like a sword was hanging over her head, not knowing when it might fall.
After a moment of thought, she knocked on the

bedroom door.
Meanwhile.
Lewis had personally ushered Uncle Olsen into the parking lot.
Upon getting out of the car, Uncle Olsen asked, I heard that old Mrs. Horton isnt doing well; as a
younger relative, I thought I should come to pay a
visit.
Catching a glimpse of him, Lewis asked, Are you sure its to see my grandma?
Of course, Uncle Olsen said candidly demeanor, his
aura far from that of a liar. Miss Keira must be
performing her filial duties at your grandmas bedside, right?
Lewis didnt know what to say.
He knew Uncle Olsens intentions werent solely to
visit the family.
But after a moments thought, he stepped aside.
Please.
Keira had just been scorned for lacking a powerful backer, and now her patron was here

When Nathan and Oliver witness Uncle Olsens
attitude toward Keira later, their jaws would drop.
From then on, no one in this house would dare to look down on Keira again!
