124 Identity
Before they could get close, cries of alarm were already audible.
Lewiss frown deepened even further, and he pressed
harder on the accelerator.
With a drift and a sharp turn, the car screeched to a halt in front of old Mrs. Hortons courtyard gates.
Lewis anxiously pushed open the car door, expecting to see a woman trembling in humiliation over being mistreated, but as soon as he stepped out, he was stunned by the scene before him.
Keira stood there tall and upright, her gaze sharp. Sh exuded an aura of authority, with a group of securit guards sprawled around her on the ground.
The housemaids stood trembling at a distance. Jake was also stunned, clearly not expecting Keira to be so capable in combat.
His shocked gaze fell upon Keira, who at that moment seemed so pure and untouchable. She elevated above all, making him realize for the first time that the

reason he couldnt catch up with her in university wasnt that she didnt like him, but rather he might not be good enough for her.
His jaw tightened.
The Keira he knew was a loner, preferring solitude in school, yet obedient and clever, diligently completing any homework or cleaning tasks set by teachers and fellow students.
But at that moment, he suddenly felt as though he had never really known her. She stood aloof from the world, looking down with an air of superiority.
He suddenly understood that in university, she wasnt really afraid of teachers or classmates, she j it beneath her to bicker with them.
Like a lone wolf that had strayed into a pack
huskies.
She tried hard to blend in with the crowd, maki
truly mistake her for an outcast husky
Isla hadnt expected this situation either.

At the Olsens, Keira was just a scapegoat who could
fight back. When had her fighting skills become so formidable? She took down over a dozen security guards with ease! When she looked at Jake, did she see admiration in his
eyes?
This made Isla bite her lip hard; she cried out, Keira, how dare you raise your hand in the Horton residence? Call the police! We must call the police!
These words snapped Melissa back to her senses. Frightened, she took a few steps back to distance herself from Keira and then took out her phone to start dialing. Fine, you dare to fight back against security. Lets see if you have the guts to resist the police!
Unfortunately, before the call could be made, her phone vanished from her hand. It had been quickly snatched away by Keira, who charged over.
Keira wore a nonchalant smile. Didnt you just stop Fiona from calling Mr. Horton? What do you think? Will let you call the police?
Melissa terrified stenned back again. She trinned and Ill

tumbled to the ground.
Only then did she hear the sound of Lewiss car and, turning her head to see Lewis, Melissa cried out as if seeing a savior. Lewis, come quick! This woman, shes gone mad!!
Keira tilted her head slightly, her icy gaze turning
toward Lewis.
The violent air around her hadnt subsided, and her
bloodthirstiness was still rising as if she would strike down anyone who dared stop her.
Lewis strode over and took her hand, frowning deeply as he examined her. How could you resort to violence? These words caused Keiras expression to darken.
Isla seized the opportunity to also cry out. Yeah, Uncle, we were having a nice chat with Keira, but the she suddenly started hitting people She didnt even worry about disturbing old Mrs. Horton, aggravating her health
On hearing this, Melissa immediately chimed in. Thats right, Lewis, you must take control! This is the first time someone dares to be violent in the Horton 12:50
residence. She doesnt respect us at all! This woman is too barbaric! Cant she talk nicely? Where is the demure and gentle manner of a lady in her?!
Jake stared intently at Lewis holding Keiras hand, his lips bitten tightly, his heart filled with reluctance. Keira then said coldly, Do you think shouldnt have
taken action?
Of course. Lewis frowned.
Keiras expression darkened, and she was about to withdraw her hand when she heard his concerned voice. Look, youre bleeding. Have you forgotten you have anemia? Do you not know how precious your blood is to you?
Keira was speechless.
She was slightly stunned.
She had never expected that Lewis would say she shouldnt have taken action for this reason.
Her heart warmed slightly, and the chill on her body quietly dissipated
Lewis, however, seemed not to notice the change in her demeanor and looked directly at the nanny next to 679
him, commanding. Go to the yard and call the family doctor right now!
Before long, the nanny came back with the family doctor.
The family doctor hurried over to Keira, his face full of concern. Miss Olsen, where are you injured? Is it serious?
Keira fell silent, then shamefully raised her hand.
The family doctor saw the tiny cut that was already clotting, and his mouth twitched. Am too late? Its already scabbed over. Keira didnt know what to say.
Nor did Lewis.
The family doctor helplessly took some iodine

But after meeting Lewiss almost cannibalistic ga silently took out a cartoon-patterned bandage and applied it to her wound. This dramatic scene left everyone present

dumbfounded.
Melissa was the first to come to her senses, Lewis,
youre really going too far! Are you determined to
protect her?! Do you have any idea how arrogant she was just now?!
Only then did Lewis turn to her. Miss Olsen has always influenced others with virtue. You must have pushed her too far. You Melissa was livid.
Isla stepped forward. Uncle, she wouldnt leave Jake alone and has been trying to carry on with both you and Jake. Mother and thought it would affect your relationship, so we suggested driving her away.
Is that so? Messing around with him? Lewis looke deeply at Jake. I forgot to remind you all. For Grandmothers safety, just happened to install som cameras near the yard. Lets check the surveillance and see whether it was Miss Olsen pestering Jake or the other way around.
Jake was stunned. Thats not necessary. just had some things wanted to make clear with her
Melissa immediately changed the subiect. Lewis.

actually, my suggestion for her to move out of the
Horton family was for your sake. Your wife will be back in the country soon, right? When she comes home and sees her, itll be chaotic! Lewis, you cant keep a woman like that!
Isla added opportunistically, And Uncle, you dont know how arrogant she was when you werent here! She said she is the hostess of this house, that she is your wife
Keira frowned.
She had never said that from the beginning, and with Lewis hearing it now, she hoped he wouldnt think she was being presumptuous.
Just as she was about to explain something to she saw the man looking at her, a glint flickeri narrowed eyes, and his lips slowly curling up.
At that moment, old Mrs. Horton came running frantic. Brat, tell these bad people whether your is actually your wife or not! is,
