217 Goddaughter
Keira stood quietly in front of old Mrs. Hortons room.
Selena and Mr. Lee opened the door and upon seeing her, Selena smiled slightly. Aunt Keira, is there something you need?
Keira said calmly, I have something to discuss with Grandma; could you please step aside?
Upon hearing this, Selenas expression flickered.
Then she smiled and said, Mr. Lee is conducting a physical examination on Great-grandma and recording data; its not very convenient right now!
Is that so?
Keiras gaze turned colder as she looked at Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee, holding a notebook, arrogantly nodded at her. Yes, please excuse me.
Keira sneered softly.
Selena then glanced around the room until her eyes briefly settled on a potted plant on the balcony. She smiled and asked Mr. Lee, Can we have Clivia in Great

Grandmas room?
Upon hearing that, Fiona immediately said anxiously, That Clivia is old Mrs. Hortons favorite flower, and
that plant has been cultivated to the highest quality! If sold, it could be worth millions!
Selenas eyes flickered.
Of course, she knew that; she remembered that Mrs. Cobb was particularly fond of Clivia, and gifting that plant to her would be perfect
With that in mind, Selena gave Mr. Lee a meaningful glance.
Mr. Lee then coughed. Indeed, having Clivia in the room isnt ideal; it disrupts old Mrs. Hortons rest, and
it could affect our data collection.
Selena quickly said, Then lets move it to my room first.
With a wave of her hand, the nanny who stayed behind to take Selenas orders immediately went to move the plant.
Fionas face showed a troubled expression as she looked to Keira for help.

Keira lowered her eyes, finding Selena to be truly shameless.
One potted Clivia, which had no effect whatsoever on Grandmas condition, yet she made such a righteous fuss about it-was it not just to appropriate Grandmas belongings?
Butshe touched her chin thoughtfully, then stepped aside after a moment.
What did it matter if it was moved to her room first? It couldnt escape the Horton family in the end!
Once she ascertained whether Corey Mills and Mr. Lee were colluding, she would then deal with this matter.
Seeing that Keira remained silent, Fiona could only suppress her distress and watch as they moved the plant. Be gentle, that flower is delicate
Selena greedily eyed the potted Clivia.
No wonder her father always told her to stay on good terms with old Mrs. Horton, the founder of Horton Group, who still held shares in Horton Group and received substantial dividends each year.
Her private wealth was beyond count, and even a little

bit slipping through her fingers would be ample for
Selena to show off!
Upon this thought, Selena looked around.
She had just wandered through this room not long ago, and although it was merely a bedroom, it contained many items from the past!
An invaluable jade bracelet had been carelessly left on the bathroom counter by old Mrs. Horton, an utter
waste!
Selena spoke with a smile, Let me tidy up Great-grandmas room to prevent Mr. Lee from accidentally damaging her things
She called another nanny inside, pointing out the valuable items in the room, This, and this, as well as this, and this Take these to my room for the time being. Ill keep them safe for Great-grandma.
Keira just watched as Selena cleared out all the valuable things from Old Mrs. Hortons room, thinking this person really had no foresight!
Fiona felt sorry for old Mrs. Horton, Gosh, thats
really I can watch over it for old Mrs. Horton. Theres
no need for you to do that!

Selena looked at her gently, Fiona, I know you take care of Great-grandmothers valuables, but after all, you are an outsider, whereas I am a member of the Horton family
After these words, Selena suddenly glanced at old Mrs. Hortons safe. She turned to Mr. Lee, Does this safe emit radiation? Isnt it also not good to have it in this room?
Mr. Lee smiled. Senile dementia is mainly a brain issue. I see we have an electroencephalogram recorder here, which we can use. Its best not to keep metal
items like a safe in the bedroom.
Selena immediately called someone over Then move this into my room as well.
Fiona blocked the safe, Miss Selena, dont go too far!
Selena said, Im doing all this for Great-grandmothers health. Fiona, as a housekeeper, dont you wish for her to regain consciousness soon? Or have you stolen from Great-grandmother, which is why shes scared to wake up?
Fiona was left speechless in shock! She had been with old Mrs. Horton for so many years, and this was the

first time she had been accused of stealing!
She looked at Selena in disbelief and turned to Keira with grievance. Mrs. Olsen, I didnt
Keira walked over and took her hand. I know, dont worry.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Fiona spoke in a low voice. The documents in this safe are too important; we cant let them take it away.
Keiras eyes flickered and she nodded.
Then, she turned back to Selena and said indifferently, The safe is too heavy, you probably cant move it
Selena scoffed, Ill call the security guards to move it.
Keira raised her eyebrows.
It didnt take long for Selena to call two security guards in.

After the guards heard the order, they turned to see Keira standing cheerfully beside the safe, and their legs went weak. They then turned to Selena
stammering, Miss Horton, the safe is too heavy; we cant lift it.

Selena was dumbfounded.
Keira kept looking at her. If you want this safe, you and Mr. Lee can come and lift it.
The smile on Selenas face didnt change as she spoke cheerfully, The safe probably doesnt have much radiation anyway. Lets forget about it.
Keira let out a scoff.
Meanwhile, at the parking area.
Nathan and Oliver had already rushed over.
Nathan immediately smiled at Uncle Olsen, Uncle Olsen, to what do we owe this honor.
Uncle Olsen smiled back at him and then said lightly, I heard Keira, Mrs. Olsens daughter, married Lewis. Thus, it is only right and proper for me to visit old Mrs. Horton, and also to see how Keira is doing here.
As soon as he said this, Nathan and Olivers faces stiffened.
They exchanged a glance.
Uncle Olsen caught the wary look in their eyes and

asked coldly, What? Is there a problem?
Recalling his recent confrontation with Keira and the fact that he had insulted her mother, Oliver couldnt help wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Of course not Youre most welcome
Uncle Olsen narrowed his eyes as he walked toward old Mrs. Hortons courtyard, casually mentioning to Lewis, Mrs. Olsen and I are old classmates, and her daughter-I came here today wanting to acknowledge her as my goddaughter
