Ellis was perplexed by the request. What DNA test are we talking about?
Uncle Olsen sighed. She looks so much like your grandma, like a younger version of her.
Ellis felt it was far-fetched. There are plenty of people in the world who look alike, and just because someone bears a resemblance, you want a DNA test?
Uncle Olsen frowned at him.
Ellis immediately nodded. Fine, Ill do it, okay?
Keera really had no friends!
During the days Keira spent with the South family, not a single person took the initiative to contact Keera, leaving her clueless about how to get in touch with South family members.
Then she had an accidental breakthrough.
Keiras phone suddenly rang with an incoming call, displaying an unfamiliar number.

She let it ring twice before picking it up.
There was no immediate response from the other end.
Keira paused, then slowly said, Hello, who is this?
At her words, she could hear the persons breathing grow heavier, followed by a chilly, petulant voice. You deleted my number?
Keira immediately frowned. Who are you?
I havent been in touch with you for half a year, and now you cant recognize my voice? Keera, you really are something!
.. Keiras mouth twitched.
That was that.
The woman sounded like she had a close relationsh with Keera, but Keira had no idea about Keeras circl
of friends.
But from the womans tone, it seemed Keera had
deleted her number. Did that mean they had had a falling out?
After thinking it over for a moment, Keiras lips curled into a smile. Did you call me because you needed

something?
With that question, the person on the other end rattled off the details of their relationship.
Keera! Dont go too far! Do you really think I cant live without you as my best friend? If it wasnt for seeing Howard flaunting that mistress of his around town, I wouldnt even bother talking with you!
I know, ever since you got married, Howard has been complaining about me being too harsh on him, and he has said plenty of nasty things about me to you! He even pressured you to cut ties with me.
Since you chose him over our friendship, just cons this call as me coming to laugh at your misfortune!
Heh, you deleted my contact for that man, and you disliked my outspokenness because it didnt honor him. Now what? Hes out there enjoying himself, and youre just a housewife at home!
Keira was perplexed.
After the woman finished, she remained silent for a short while before asking, Anything else?
The womans breathing quickened again, and she was
278 Bestie Comes Knocking
clearly agitated. Didnt you hear me? Hes keeping a mistress! Ive taken photos and recorded videos! When I told you he was cheating last time, you didnt believe me and blocked me. Now I have proof!
Oh, I see.
Keiras response left the woman speechless. Just I see? Do you still not believe me? Fine, if you dont trust me, thats it then! So much for the years of our friendship-its like youve become blind!
Keira caught on.
Although she didnt know who this person was, she could tell that she was genuinely concerned about Keera, calling not to mock her but to warn her.
She lowered her gaze and said suddenly, Lets meet
up!
I knew you wouldnt believe me. Fine, lets meet. Im coming to your place right now!
After that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Keira rubbed her chin.
From the implication in the other persons words, the

two should have been close friends for a long time. Could she know some secrets about Keera?
But in less than half an hour, the doorbell rang.
Keira went to open the door, expecting to see her close friend, but to her surprise, she was met by a young man in a suit.
Upon seeing Keira, he immediately smiled. Miss South, Im from the property management office. You havent paid your property fee for this month, and the manager asked me to come to remind you. Moreover, if you pay the property fee for all six months in advance, we can offer you a 10 discount.
Keira frowned.
She hadnt retrieved the company and savings fr Howard yet and hadnt asked Samuel for money so she simply said, That wont be necessary. Ill jus pay the fee for this month.
She took out the one thousand dollars that Howard
gave her and was about to pay the property fee when the man said, Miss South, its the end of the year, and we need to show performance. Other residents have already paid for half a year. Could you also pay in
278 Bestie Comes Knocking
advance? Please dont make it difficult for us
Keira raised an eyebrow. How much property fee to pay is my right, and whether or not to pay in advance is also my choice. Is it mandatory for our property fees to be paid semi-annually?
The man smiled. Nope, but there is a 10 discount for paying six months in advance, and you arent short of
money
Keira found it amusing. I am actually short of that
money.
The smile gradually faded from the mans face as he glanced into the room. Miss South, dont take it wrong way for me being nosy, but as dignified pe you quibble over such small amounts, hardly show the demeanor of a wealthy wife. No wonder your husband is always out all night
A sharp light burst from Keiras eyes and just as she was about to say something, a fierce voice suddenly intervened. Where did this stray dog come from, daring to bark at the owners doorstep!
Keira turned around and saw a well-dressed woman standing there.

She wore a Chanel coat and stood beside a luxury car equipped with a driver, clearly from a privileged background.
She walked over and sneered at the property management staff. Whats your staff number? How dare you speak to a resident like this? Its utterly ridiculous. Im going to file a complaint to your superiors!
The property staff frowned upon hearing this. Who are you?
The woman snorted with laughter, glanced at his badge, took out her phone, and made a call. Hey, Luke, Willow Gardens property services ar your family, right? Yes? Good. A staff mem number 1339 has disrespected my friend. Its your family to get your rules in order!

No more than two minutes after she finished the the property staffs phone started to ring. Whate was said on the other end made his expression cha
immediately.

After hanging up, the staff member quickly looked at the woman, Miss Davis, I didnt know Miss South was
278 Bestie Comes Knocking
your friend. Im sorry. I went to great lengths to find this job, so please show me some mercy
Mary Davis scoffed, If you dont get lost, I can make it impossible for you to find a job in Clance!
The property staff scurried away dejectedly.
It was only then that Mary turned to Keira, her expression showing a mix of frustration and disappointment. Keera, you really are something, arent you? Falling on such hard times that youre scoffed at by a property manager? When you blocked me, didnt you say that without me, your life would be harmonious and beautiful? Has this half a year witho me been your happy life?!
Her words were laden with mockery.
But between the lines hung a thread of concern.
Keira remained silent.
In her heart, she felt relieved for Keera, who at least once had such a good friend

Keera, she immediately told her.
But Keera trusted Howard more and, swayed by his
instigation, blocked Mary.
This enraged Mary.
Unwilling to let go of their years of close friendship, she repeatedly attempted to re-add Keera as a friend but was ignored each time.
Mary also had her pride and thus cut off contact for half a year.
She took out her phone and handed it to Keira. Keera, dont you trust Howard? Well, I now have evidence. Ive captured a video of him with that mistress. Take a good look!
Keira didnt accept it and only said indifferently, That wont be necessary.
Mary felt her anger rise.
She glared at Keira and berated her. Keera, you really dont know whats good for you. Im doing this for your own good, and yet you trust that Howard so much! Sooner or later, hell sell you out!
Marys eyes were red with anger as she turned to
278 Bestie Comes Knocking
leave!
But just then, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
