Keira opened the Twitter post and saw that it was a video shot by Josh.
In the video, Isla and Connor met each other, hiding in a corner. Due to the distance, it was unclear what they were saying; one could only see that Connor was very agitated.
Josh tried to get closer, and the camera slowly moved through an inconspicuous corner. After closing in, one could hear the voices of the two people talking, with Isla saying, Dont panic. As long as you dont slip up, the police wont have any evidence. The job you did
was seamless!
Connor replied anxiously, But now the journalists are
all after me
Suddenly, Isla yelled out, Whos there?
They both turned around to look at the camera.
Immediately, Joshs camera shifted to the side, capturing the ground.
Then Islas voice followed, What did you manage to

capture?
Josh spoke up. Im a journalist. I have the right to disclose anything I capture!
Isla took a deep breath. How much do you want? I can give it to you! Just delete the video!
Connor also came closer, saying, Right. Delete the video, or you wont be leaving here today!
His voice carried a chilling malice.
Josh was clearly nervous. Alright, Ill delete it now.
His camera went black.
However, what Connor and Isla might not realize was that the technology for follow-up filming had
improved greatly. At least, the footage shot by journalists could be instantly transmitted to online.

After posting the video, Josh immediately tweeted, Miss Olsen and Connor were plotting together, showing a fierce demeanor. At that time, I feigned cooperation and deleted the video. Later, I received an anonymous recording and handed it over to the police myself! Yet Miss Olsen shamelessly snatched the

credit!
Josh didnt have many followers, so this tweet didnt attract much attention after it was posted.
Josh sent Keira the link to the Twitter post and then made a request. Ms. S, the voice of one person might not be heard by society. Could you help me by sharing
it?
Keiras Twitter account had several million followers.
Back when she was working part-time as a journalist, her posts were known to be fair and objective, which made them popular, and she later went viral for exposing a major corporation for discharging polluted
water.
People had a lot of trust in her messages.
Over the years, whenever there were reports that struggled to gain attention, people in the journalist circle liked to seek her help.
Keira would have someone investigate the matter thoroughly and, if it turned out to be true, she would agree to share it.
Every post she shared would draw public attention.

Of course, Joshs post didnt need any investigation.
Keira had been a participant all along and was very clear about the truth, so she chose to share it right away. Almost the instant she did, people started to
react.
Ms. S is playing the hero again!
Lets see what the incident is this time?
The internet has been abuzz with the story of a Miss Olsen bravely stepping forward and handing in a recording, turns out its fake?! Damn! No wonder the police havent issued any reward notice! Its been hyped so much that I actually thought it was true!
Someone has already said that Miss Olsen is going to marry into the Horton family, as in Oceanions riches the Hortons. Would they accept someone with such character?
After retweeting, Keira didnt look at the comments online anymore.
She leisurely put away her phone and looked at the exquisite breakfast on the dining table.

If the quarrel continued and she didnt eat, it would get cold. What a waste!
She was thinking about that when a fork suddenly appeared and placed a croissant onto her plate.
Keira was slightly startled.
But when she looked up, she met Lewiss eyes, which were filled with a smile.
Keira suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and quickly looked around, only to find that everyones focus was on the shares, and no one was paying attention to their small gestures.
She quietly let out a sigh of relief, lowered her head, and bit into the croissant. The rich fragrance explode in her mouth, and it was delicious enough to make on want to bite off their own tongue.
Her eyes brightened slightly as she ate and waited for the fiasco on the microblog to ferment, looking
forward to seeing the first branch of the familys

Unfortunately, they hadnt noticed the change in the situation at the moment and were still aggressively

The old lady was indignant, slamming her hand on the table and shouting, So what if Im biased? Over the years, if I hadnt favored Lewis, he would have been ostracized and lost his status in this family!
She stood up, and even though she had started to shrink in height at her age and looked withered and frail, her actions still exuded elegance and authority. Nathan, tell me, theyre both your sons, but you only have eyes for the elder one. Have you ever cared for
Lewis?
When he was so young, he lay in the hospital covered in tubes and was at deaths door. Your
fourteen-year-old elder son just had a little cold, but you left your newborn baby and went away to take care of your elder son!
Lewis survived the first hurdle but after coming home you neglected him again, revolving solely around the elder son. If I, as their grandmother, didnt favor him, Im afraid you wouldve long forgotten him!
And about the shares. I dont like Isla, so why should I give her any? Whos rule is that? When Lewis got married and came back to announce it to everyone, didnt I tell you to take out 2 of the shares and give

them to him? What did you say at that time?

You said you didnt like a daughter-in-law who couldnt present well in society, that the shares were yours to do with as you wished, and that no one could force you if you didnt want to give them up. So how come you can pressure me now?
Nathan frowned immediately. Mom, those things are in the past, so why bring them up now? The current situation is special. Lewiss wife isnt so publicly known, but Isla is different. Although the Hortons are the richest in Oceanion, we are still businessmen. Nowadays, everyone likes businessmen with a sense of righteousness and loyalty. Elevating Islas status can cast a positive image on the Horton Group. So, lets not talk about the past, okay?
The old lady snatched a bowl from the table and slammed it down. You dont allow me to mention i
nor to show favoritism. Then lets be fair! If you wan me to give Isla shares, fine, but you have to give the shares to your daughter-in-law first!
Nathan frowned again.
At this point, Oliver, who had been quiet, spoke up

with a smile. Dad, what Grandma said is also correct.
We have to treat everyone equally in this family. Since thats the case, you should give Lewiss wife the missing shares!
Nathan wanted to say more, but Oliver gave him a
look.
After pondering for a moment, Nathan understood something and immediately smiled, saying, Okay, I gave Olivers wife 2 of the shares back then, so I will give the same to Lewis-2. Mom, you gave Lewiss wife 5 of the shares back then, so now you should also give Isla 5! Only then would it be fair!
Old Mrs. Horton choked when she heard this.
She had momentarily forgotten that the shares w

Lewis was able to sit in the CEOs seat because the
combined shares of old Mrs. Horton and Lewis amounted to exactly 51. If she were to give shares away like this, the first branch of the familys shares would exceed Lewiss, and then the Horton Group would fall into the hands of the first branch!
But she had said so much already, so she couldnt go

ck on her word now. What should she do?!
Nathan immediately looked toward Lewis and asked directly, Lewis, what do you think?
