Isla still stubbornly retorted. What kind of secret could there possibly be between me and Keira
Exactly.
Keira also wanted to know what the secret had to do with her, a secret so significant it could let Isla be threatened by Finley for so many years!
Are you sure you want me to say it out loud?
The faint voice of Connor added a sense of pressure to
Islas reluctance!
Isla immediately changed her tone. Im on my way to the hospital to visit Keira with my mother. Ill ask her to put some pressure on Keira so shell confess her guilt as soon as possible. After Im done with all this, Ill come to see you, okay?
Connor finally smiled. Alright, Ill wait for you tonight.
The call ended.
However, Keira frowned and shuddered.
She didnt expect Isla and Connor to have such a

relationship!
Wasnt Isla two years older than Connor?
She felt a chill run down her spine.
Lewis, standing by the window, said, Mrs. Olsen is
here.
In the phone call, Isla had already mentioned that she would be coming to visit Keira with Mrs. Olsen, thus Keira wasnt surprised. She quickly freshened up and lightly patted her cheeks, adding some color to her
face.
Seeing her actions, Lewis paused slightly, Are you afraid that Mrs. Olsen will worry?
Yes.
Keira rushed into the bathroom, changed herself out of the hospital gown, and came out looking radiant again.
After all these preparations, there was a sound at the door. Mrs. Olsen walked in with Isla and Taylor Olsen.
Upon entering, Mrs. Olsens eyes were immediately on Keira. Seeing her looking as usual, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to her. Keira, are you

O
all right? Why didnt you tell me when such a big thing happened? If it wasnt for the news, when were you planning to inform me?
Keira felt a warmth in her chest. Just as she was about to answer, Taylor sneered. By looking at her healthy appearance, where does she look sick? As it says on the internet, she just wants to apply for bail!
Keiras smile froze on her face, and she slowly lowered
her head.
But Mrs. Olsen held her hand tightly. Keira is not that kind of kid. Dont talk nonsense.
Then she looked worriedly at Keira. I didnt know you had anemia when you were living with the Olson family before. Have you been too tired since you moved out? Did you not eat enough?
We gave her living expenses every month. How could she have malnutrition?
Taylor scoffed.
Keira frowned and immediately turned to him. You gave me living expenses every month? How come Ive never received it?

Hearing those words, Taylor was stunned.
Mrs. Olsen frowned even more. What? You didnt receive it? How have you been managing all these years?!
Keira clenched her jaw.
She really didnt know about the living expenses, and she hadnt received a single penny over these years.
However, Taylor didnt believe her. Shirley, do you hear her talking nonsense here? She claims she didnt receive any money. How did she pay for her bills over the years then? She
then? She even went to college!
Keira scoffed immediately. Mr. Olsen, I havent taken a penny from the Olsen family since I left the Olsen residence! Do you need me to show you my bank statement?
Taylor was taken aback.
Mrs. Olsen turned to Isla. Isla, didnt I ask you to send money to Keira every month? Didnt you send it?
Islas eyes flickered, clearly flustered, but her soon head dropped. Mom, I gave the money to Aunt Hill! Could she have kept it from Keira? How could she do

this?
When Poppy was mentioned, Taylors face was full of disgust, Shes such a selfish person. If you gave the money to her, its no wonder she kept it to herself!
Taylor looked at Keira again. Did you hear that? Its not that we didnt give you money, but your mother embezzled it! That has nothing to do with the Olsen
family!
His manner clearly informed Keira that he, as her father, had provided enough money!
Keira chuckled but before she could retort, Mrs. Olsen intervened. Taylor, no matter what, Keira didnt receive the money. Therefore, she had to work hard, which ruined her health. This is where you, as a father failed in your responsibilities!
Shirley, you are too kind-hearted! Youre still worrying about her health! Shes not sick at all. Shes just
pretending!
Taylor didnt feel guilty at all. Instead, he frowned at Keira. Before we came, we asked the lawyer. Your despicable uncle was the one who made a mistake first. You accidentally hurt him, so you wont be guilty

of a major crime. Confess now so the news can be suppressed. Otherwise, if this continues and your identity is revealed, the Olsen family will also suffer because of you!
Isla also piped up. Keira, Dad is right. If your relationship with the Olsen family is discovered, our familys stocks will plummet severely, and we need to control the remarks on the internet. Dad is thinking about whats best for you. If you confess, you can get a lighter sentence. If you refuse to confess, youll face more years in prison
Keira didnt care about the two of them. She just looked at Mrs. Olsen. Do you agree with them?
Mrs. Olsen patted her hand. Keira, did you really accidentally kill that person?
No.
Do you have any evidence?
Keira glanced at Isla and noticed her nervousness, whereupon she slowly said, ..No.
Isla breathed a sigh of relief.
But Mrs. Olsen looked troubled. But I just inquired

from the police station, and the current evidence is very unfavorable to you. If you cant find strong
evidence to discharge yourself, youll likely lose this
case.
She bowed her head. Before we came, I consulted the lawyer, and his advice was for you to confess as soon
as possible.
Keiras heart sank a little when she heard this.
But to her surprise, Mrs. Olsen held her hand the next
moment. But you shouldnt confess to what you didnt do. Keira, stick to what you think is right and keep going.
Keiras eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
But Taylor reproached. Shirley, dont let her fool you! They were in an abandoned hospital at the time. If she didnt murder him, was it a ghost that did?! Now the whole internet is on a crusade against her. Youre still supporting her now. Youre spoiling the child too
much!
Isla also couldnt help saying, Mom, we agreed to come here to persuade Keira to plead guilty. Otherwise, the reputation of the Olsen family will be

affected and Jake will break off our engagement! Are You going to be unfair to me again, all because of an
illegitimate daughter?!
Mrs. Olsen was taken aback by these comments.
She was speechless for a moment.
Tears started to flow from Islas eyes. Mom, in the end, is she your biological daughter, or am I your biological daughter?!
After saying this, she ran out crying.
Mrs. Olsen looked a bit panicked. She looked at Keira, then outside the door, obviously hesitating.
But eventually, she stood up and went after Isla with Taylor.
The room quickly returned to its quiet state.
Keira stared at the door, laughing at herself.
