254 Mrs. Horton?
Vehicles bustled around them.
When Keira turned her head to look over, Howard had already grabbed her arm, giving her a wary glance.
But Keira didnt speak; instead, she calmly looked at
Tom.
Seeing her determined attitude, Howard tried to please Tom with a smile. You must be Mr. Davis, right? Sorry, we came from Clance to pay our respects, and
the child wanted milk, but we had no hot water The childs mother here she was looking to see if you had any water in the house
Keira didnt offer any further explanation, just quietly watching Tom.
To her surprise, Tom glanced at her only briefly before immediately saying, The Horton family has plenty of hot water. Shall I get someone to bring it over to you?
Keira frowned slightly.
What did Tom mean by that?
He didnt recognize her?

254 Mrs. Horton?
Keira was full of confusion and was about to say something, but then she closed her mouth.
At this moment, countless doubts surged up in her heart, making her exceedingly cautious!
Upon further thought, the truth of her marriage had been suddenly revealed, and out of the blue, she had gained a twin sister.
And soon after Keera met her, they both faced a deadly
threat!
This indicated that the they Keera spoke of, who wanted to kill them, had been surveilling her all along.
Did Tom perceive something? Was that why he didnt dare acknowledge her?
While she was lost in her thoughts, Howard, in fear, immediately gestured with his hands, his posture very humble. Please dont bother. Ill just go with you to get
some!
After saying that, he snatched the feeding bottle from Keiras hand, about to have Keira wait in the car when a honking sound came from within the line of cars.
Howard turned around to see that the cars up front
254 Mrs. Horton?
had moved, but theirs was still stationary.
And the cars they were blocking were all expensive luxury cars. How could Howard dare to delay?
Tom also frowned and asked. Whose car is that?
He immediately smiled at Tom in a placating manner. Mine. Its mine. Ill go start it right now
Tom said impatiently, Then let your wife come with me to get the water!
On hearing this, Howard glanced at Keira.
He was somewhat worried as he said, Why dont I have my mother accompany her? She just got injured a couple of days ago
Howards mother immediately came down from the passenger seat, smiled at Tom in a fawning manner, and then grabbed Keiras arm. Mr. Davis, lets go

why Tom didnt recognize her, Howards mother sneered. What were you just doing? You were trying to cozy up to Mr. Davis, and not even looking at the time! Didnt Howard tell you on the way here? I heard Mr. Davis and Mrs. Horton are very close, friends even. Hes in pain right now, so why are you shamelessly butting in?
After speaking, Howards mother released her arm and scoffed. Howard said you pretend to be aloof and dislike socializing, but it seems youre not averse to mingling. You just havent seen a real affluent family before, have you? When you finally do, you still fawn over them.
You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Have you seen what you look like right now? You still have the nerve to approach people! At least wash your face clean, wont you? Arent you embarrassed?
Disdainfully curling her lip, Howards mother returned to the car with Keira.
On the contrary, Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
Wash my face?
254 Mrs. Horton?
Subconsciously, she pulled out her cell phone, using the black screen as a mirror to take a quick look, and then froze on the spot.
No wonder Tom didnt recognize her. Her face was
entirely purple, obviously coated with a thick layer of gentian violet, making her face nearly
unrecognizable
Only then did she remember, when she had escaped from the underwater boat, floating debris had struck her body, and there were some cuts on her face, so the solution was applied for disinfection.
Keira was dumbfounded.
Had she been overthinking things all this while, pondering so much, only for it to come to this?
What are you standing there for? Get in the car!

didnt refuse.

After getting in the car, she first mixed some formula
milk for Amy and handed it to her, then using the phone, wiped the solution off her face.
The purple solution must have been applied by a nurse in the hospital two days ago
Having been comatose for the past two days with no one to clean her face, it took her a long while to wipe off, leaving some traces, but she could at least make out her original appearance somewhat.

As she was doing this, Howard had already driven into the Horton estate.
Security was directing them to park their car in the parking lot, and following Howard, Keira walked toward the main house where the funeral hall was set

asked his mother to stay with her in the car without coming down. He and Keira approached the
accountants desk.
Handling the ledger for the Horton family was the
households butler.
The butlers eyes were also slightly red as he buried his head in the accounting, and Keira and Howard quickly queued up in front of him.
Howard was a bit nervous and coughed before saying to Keira, Keera, youve never seen this kind of thing before, right? Dont be nervous. Just say youre a classmate of Mrs. Hortons when its our turn
He whispered instructions, and finally, it was their
turn.
The butler asked, May I know who you are?
Toward immediately nudged Keira.
ira gave him a glance and said softly, Keera.
When the butler heard the name, he was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked up. Seeing Keira, the butler became utterly bewildered, staring at Keira in disbelief, You, you Mrs. Horton?
