253 Meeting Tom
Seeing that she wasnt looking around everywhere, but seemed to be making a fuss over nothing, Howard became angry, Keera, let me tell you, if you dont behave later, dont blame me for not being polite to
you!
No sooner had he spoken than Amy, who had been asleep for most of the trip and had just woken up, immediately said, Daddy, dont hit Mommy!
Keiras gaze sharpened in an instant upon hearing this.
And thinking back to how, back at home, Howard would casually grab her hair
So, this scumbag was also domestically abusing her

ard snorted. I wont hit her if thats what you want, but then you need to make sure your mother
listens and behaves herself later.
Amy immediately looked at Keira with a nervous expression. Mommy, if you listen, Daddy wont hit

you
Amy had a pair of pretty eyes, very similar to hers, and there was a flash of timidity and panic in them when she spoke, which was especially heart-wrenching.
Keira touched her head. Dont worry, Amy, no one will ever hit Mommy again in the future.
She didnt want to tell the little child that her mother
might have already passed away
Howards mother just scoffed. Oh, that sounds so
scary.
Howard paid her no attention.
There was a bit of a queue, and Howards car was stuck
at the entrance.
A rumbling noise came from Amys stomach, clearly
ind
unger.
wned, realizing for the first time that in the six hours since they arrived in Oceanion, she dnt given Amy anything to eat.
Although she had never raised a child, she understood
that even adults would suffer if they went without food for so long, let alone children.

Keira asked, Is there anything to eat?
Im hungry too. Theres some in the luggage, just look for it, said Howards mother
Keira nodded and rummaged through to find a few packets of spicy snacks.
Howards mother immediately took them and started
sharing with Howard after opening the bag.
Both loved spicy food because of where they came
from.
Keira watched them devour the snacks, rummaged through the bag again, and found only a can of milk powder and nothing else suitable for a child to eat.
She frowned. How do you mix the milk powder?
Howard
but
her scoffed. Of course with warm water,
any water in the car!
ne a little angry. Then why didnt you bring er for Amy?
wasnt the childs mother and had no experience in king care of children. She had been rushed into the car by Howard, but Howards mother was Amys
grandmother!!

Yet, Howards mother defiantly said, Youre always the one preparing hot water for the child, so how should I know? Besides, if a small child goes hungry, they just go hungry Missing one mal wont kill them!
This response infuriated Keira even more, and she
asked, When did Amy last eat? Did she have
breakfast?
This question startled Howards mother.
Keira immediately realized something. Did she not eat? What about last night?
Howards mother guiltily stuffed the snacks in her mouth and quickly retorted. Im not the childs
mother. How would I know!
Kei was shocked.
dnt eat last night either?!
one immediately looked toward Amy, only to see the child clutching her stomach, trying hard to suck on her fingers, yet not daring to cry out in hunger.
But her little face was pale, and sweat was beading on her forehead.
That was a symptom of low blood sugar!
253 Meeting Tom
Keira immediately said, She needs to eat something right away. If theres only baby formula in the car Ill go to Hortons house to get hot water.
After saying that, she was about to get out of the car.
But the car door clicked as it locked.
Howard turned his head back and said harshly, What are you making a fuss about? Were here to attend Mrs. Hortons funeral. Bringing the child with you, isnt that asking for trouble? If the Horton family drives us out, what do we do then?
Howards mother also said urgently, Exactly, a child wont die from skipping a couple of meals! Why do you have to cause a scene in front of the Horton
residence? Were only here to attend the funeral out of
we get kicked out because of you, wouldnt me for nothing?
cour
eyes were sharp. Amy has low blood sugar. Is fe less important to you than a funeral?!
Howard glanced at her. Its just low blood sugar. She wont die! If shes really starving, let her eat some chips!
Howards mother also conffed A girl and a hurdan at

that, if shes gone, shes gone. Its just as well. She wont have to compete with Howards son for the inheritance in the future!
Keira was so angry at these words that she was about to explode.
But she didnt have the energy to fight with them now. She only glanced forward and suddenly shouted, A
mouse!
This word indeed startled Howards mother. She nearly jumped out of the car. Where is it? Open the door and let me get out!
Howard was also spooked and unbuckled his seatbelt, subconsciously opening the car door.
Keira immediately pushed the door open, took the
ottle, and got out of the car, striding toward the ay of the Horton house.
was then that Howard realized he had been tricked. He quickly followed after her and grabbed hold of Keiras hand. What are you doing?
Keira looked at him, Im going to get hot water!

Howard lowered his voice and roared, Doing this will make the Horton family think were insincere! Are you trying to mess up my opportunity here?!
Keira said with scorn. Let go, or else, Ill start shouting
for help!

Howard was furious, Keera, dont force me to get physical with you right here!
Keiras gaze grew icy. You wouldnt dare!
Howard stepped forward, grabbing her arm tightly. What wouldnt I dare? Do you really think youre some wealthy heiress? Keera, take a good look at where we are, okay? Stop deluding yourself. This is what a real wealthy family looks like. In front of the Horton family,

family!
The commotion caught the attention of Tom, who was at the doorway greeting the guests.
Dressed in a black suit with a white bouquet in the pocket, he strode over. He saw Keira and Howard pulling at each other and immediately furrowed his brows. Whats going on?!
Upon hearing this familiar voice, Keiras face lit up.
She immediately turned her head!
