229 Shes Nora
As soon as she said this, everyone turned to look at
her.
Mr. Horton immediately said, What do you mean? Can the medicine from Clance be bought and sold now?
Of course not.
Oliver breathed a sigh of relief. If it cant be bought, the third medication has already been taken away by the police as contraband, so where would more medicine come from?!
Keira then looked toward Corey.
She hadnt actually figured out an excuse and didnt know what to say about the situation, so she had avoided bringing it up until now.
But Corey was capable enough to handle the situation.
Indeed, Corey immediately stepped forward with a smile, and without letting her down, he began. Heres the thing. Miss Olsen had previously submitted old Mrs. Hortons medical case to our institute. To tell the
truth, for an 86-year-old, taking more medication isnt

very effective, and they could only expect to live
another two years at most. Normally, we wouldnt allocate a slot to someone of that age. But
Corey went on. Miss Olsen has my number, see, and she would call me every day, speaking earnestly, with touching words. Its rare to encounter someone with such excellent qualities. Miss Olsen is so gentle and virtuous, and Im sure shes a good wife and loving
mother
Keira, seeing that he was going on and on and was even about to continue, suddenly coughed and shot him a wary glance.
Corey instantly took the cue and promptly cut off the speech. In short, I was moved by Miss Olsen, so I made a request to Nora. Nora found value in study someone 86 years old, and so our institute decided give old Mrs. Horton a slot!
This statement made everyones eyes widen in surprise!
Mr. Horton was especially incredulous as he looked toward Keira and immediately said awkwardly, Keira,
O
229 Shes Nora
thats so why didnt you say so earlier? I even
misunderstood you. It turns out you went to such lengths
Keira didnt say anything
Well
Before Corey mentioned that was the reason,
she
herself didnt even know what story he would make up!
Old Mrs. Horton immediately said, Brother-in-law, I told you that you were too impulsive. Keira is the granddaughter-in-law Im most satisfied with. She would never harm me!
Mr. Horton then sat down beside her. Now I truly believe it. Sister-in-law, you found a good wife for
Lewis!
The two of them started to laugh merrily.
Meanwhile, Oliver and Nathan looked as if their faces
were made of iron.
Lewis glared at them, Dad, elder brother, just now you didnt listen to any explanations and cursed at Keira here. Isnt it time you apologized to her?!

Nathan choked.
Oliver sighed, Lewis, had you guys explained things clearly from the start, it would have prevented everyone from misunderstanding. Its good that Keira got a slot, but why hide it? What was the point?
Nathan immediately snorted coldly, seeking an excuse. Right, did you deliberately avoid giving a clear explanation? If you got the slot, just say it. Why all the secrecy? Is playing games with us amusing?!
Was this pushing the blame onto them?
Keira felt speechless.
But Lewis then looked at Selena. If we hadnt done this, how would I have learned that your beloved granddaughter, my elder brothers illegitimate daughter, still harbors thoughts of wanting a share in the inheritance?
Keira nodded in agreement. Selena, if you want share, just say so. Why the secrecy? Is playing ga with your father and grandfather fun?
Nathan was dumbfounded.
Why did those words sound so familiar?

Oliver also tensed his jaw.
Selena felt utterly humiliated, but she quickly regained her composure, bowed her head, and burst into sobs. Im about to marry into the Cobb family, but my family hasnt prepared a dowry for me. I just feel so embarrassed And now r. Lee has been implicated by me, I dont even know how to explain this to the Cobb family! Forget it. This marriage was me reaching above my station. I wont marry then!
Leaving these words behind, she put on an expression of shame and indignation, covered her face, and ran out crying.
Nathan said anxiously, How can she not marry? Oliver, go and comfort Selena. This is a great opportunity for a marriage alliance between the Horton family and the Cobb family. Tell her that the familys shares will definitely be ready for her!
Oliver cared deeply for his daughter and besides, her return, she had suppressed Lewis and Keira.
At least before today, she had even managed to take control of old Mrs. Hortons courtyard.
So, he immediately chased after her.

Lewis and Keira exchanged glances before leaving Mr.
Horton and old Mrs. Horton to chat and followed
Selena out.
Once they stepped outside, they saw Selena, amidst sobs, packing up her things in the room as if grievously wronged, speaking to Oliver, Dad, I just cant bring myself to stay here any longer. Im moving out right
now.
After saying that, she grabbed two large suitcases and started to walk out.
But she was blocked by Lewis and Keira.

Selena looked at them with pitiable eyes. Uncle Lewis, Aunt Keira, I was wrong. Isnt it enough that Im leaving now? Do I have to kneel and apologize too?
Keira said, Thats not necessary.
Selena bowed her head immediately and turned to
leave from between them.
But she was blocked by Keira once again.
Selena was puzzled and heard Keira say, You can go, but leave Grandmas things behind.
Selena was shocked.

A hint of spite flashed in her eyes.
She had intentionally played the part of the wronged party to rush out, even hastily carrying baggage that had been packed early, all to take things she had pilfered from old Mrs. Hortons possession.
But she hadnt expected they would find out.
With a pitiable look, she turned to Keira. Aunt Keira, I dont know what youre talking about. This suitcase is filled with my own belongings! I know you dont like me, but are you really going to search my luggage?
Keira replied with a smile, Or should I report a theft to the police, saying grandmothers belongings have gone missing? I remember a bracelet. Its worth tens of millions, you know
Selena clenched her fists, smiling. Ah, sorry, I might have accidentally packed it in the suitcase.
Then she opened the suitcase, not daring to full reveal its contents, she stealthily took out the bra
At that moment, Fiona returned, having taken the puppy to the vet..

Keira immediately called out, Fiona, youre familiar with grandmothers things. Come help Miss Selena so that she doesnt accidentally pack grandmothers things in her suitcase again!
Upon hearing this, Fionas eyes lit up dramatically. Shaking off her earlier dejection, she strode over with a triumphant air. Miss Selena, please open your
suitcases
Selena was dumbfounded.
Keira, arms folded, watched from a distance. Her frustrations from the previous day were repaid today, which felt extremely satisfying!
As she was pondering, Lewis suddenly turned his head and spoke in a low voice. Got it all out of your system,
Nora?
Keira was dumbfounded.
