129 Stock Market
But the car that stopped in front of them was Lewiss exclusive black Bentley.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to see this car.
Isla and Jake even exchanged glances, both confused.
Why-had their uncle come back with Keira?
Taylor also frowned, a flicker of panic and concern flashing in his eyes.
Could Keiras husband be
They were lost in thought when Keira got out of the car, and everyone immediately turned to see who was behind her, but they saw
No one else got out.
They all peered through the car door, looking inside the car, and indeed there was no one else except the
driver.
Mrs. Olsen asked in puzzlement, Keira, where is your
husband?
Upon hearing this, Keira paused for a moment.

Two minutes ago.
Just as their car had made a turn and was about to
arrive at the Olsen residence, Lewiss phone suddenly
rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression immediately turned grave; he answered the call at
once.
Whatever was said on the other end, Lewis ground his teeth. He looked at Keira apologetically. I have a very important matter
Go, she said.
Keira had never been a sentimental woman; she immediately spoke up.
But Lewis hesitated, What about Mrs. Olsen..
There will be plenty of other opportunities for acquainted. Let the car stop so I can get out, sh
Lewis was usually unreadable in his actions, but th time he looked anxious, clearly an urgent matter w at hand.
He thought for two seconds, then immediately said,
Stop the car
D
The car stopped at the side of the road, and as Keira was about to get out, Lewis held her arm. You take the car. The gifts are all in the trunk. I think I can handle this in an hour, and then Ill come and pick you up.
Leaving those words, he and Tom got out of the car.
The moment the two men got out of the car, Lewiss bodyguards stopped at the curb in another car.
Lewis hurried into the car and quickly left.
Thus, Keira arrived at the Olsens alone.
Upon hearing Mrs. Olsens question and about to say something, her gaze swept over Isla and Jake, and she understood that if she claimed that Lewis was her
husband, these two would again accuse her of wishful thinking.
Sometimes the truth was simply not believed.
Keira didnt wish to disrupt dinner or exacerbat Olsens concerns, so she simply said with a comp demeanor, Hes busy with something and will con
later.
Taylor couldnt help but interject. What could he
O
possibly be so busy with?
Isla immediately laughed. Dad, dont say that. Being with family might be the most important thing to you, but for ordinary people, earning some overtime pay is better than anything. Isnt that right, Keira?
Mrs. Olsen, not wanting Keira to be embarrassed, quickly interjected. Its good as long as he can come.
The driver got out of the car, opened the trunk, and began taking out the prepared gifts one by one.
The number of gifts wasnt as many as what Jake
Horton had brought, but the quality was just as good, if
not better.
After putting down the six gifts, the driver said, Miss Olsen, Ill wait for you in the car.
Okay, thank you,
Keira said her thanks, then held Mrs. Olsens arm and
led her inside.
Behind her, Jake Horton suddenly let out a cold laugh, Keira, my uncle really dotes on you. He even lent you his car and took things from the Horton family for you to give as gifts. But does he know you came with your

husband to see your relatives?
His words were sarcastic, making Mrs. Olsen frown.
Keira glanced at him indifferently. Jake, how did the Horton family teach you manners? Are you so free to pry and joke about an elders private affairs?
Jake was taken aback, clenching his fists.
Keira smiled a little.
Mrs. Olsen immediately said, Jake, there must be some misunderstanding between Keira and Mr. Horton. Dont jump to conclusions. Keira has always been self-reliant; she isnt that kind of person.
Jake wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Olsen said, Keira, lets have a chat and wait for
husband.
your
Keira said, That wont be necessary. Mrs. Olsen, le
have dinner.
Having started her own business, she understood how many things a company had to deal with each day. Lewis said he would come to pick her up, but he might
not be able to make it on time.
With Isla and Jake here

She just wanted to check on Mrs. Olsen, then quickly finish the meal and leave.
Mrs. Olsen obviously understood her intentions and thus led everyone to the dining room.
They all took their seats.
The kitchen began to serve the dishes.

Looking at the dishes in front of her, Isla suddenly said kindly, Keira, did your husband have dinner? He probably hasnt had such a lavish meal, right? Maybe
you should save a bit of each dish for him, so he wont have to eat leftovers.
Keira didnt respond.
Isla and Jake were truly a match made in heaven. They never knew when to stop.
She smiled faintly. My husband can certainly afford meal.
Isla immediately explained, Thats not what I meant
Mrs. Olsen frowned and said sharply, Isla, thats enough! Keira is Dr. South. Even if her husband has an ordinary job, their family isnt in need of money!
O

Isla pursed her lips and said sarcastically, Mom, how can you say they arent short on money? Have you forgotten the last time Keira came to you to borrow money for stock trading?
At these words, Jake and Taylor immediately turned their gaze toward Keira.
Taylor asked with knitted brows. You went into stock trading? The stock market is so volatile right now; only a fool would enter the market lightly. What stocks were you trading?
Isla chimed in. Keira, did you invest all the money you earned into the stock market and lose it? Is that why you havent bought a house or a car up to now? Mom is right. As Dr. South, you shouldnt be short of money.
Keira looked at her with a smile that wasnt quite smile, Im not short of money.
If youre not short of money, why did you borrow from Mom to trade stocks? Isla burst out in anger a she brought up the matter.
Because Keira borrowed the money, Isla couldnt come up with the five million for Finley, which resulted in Connor killing Finley, and Connor had gone to jail
12.12
This left her with a ticking time bomb.
After all, she didnt know when Connor might spill the secret of her parentage!
Taylor, too, frowned and looked at Mrs. Olsen. Shirley, you really spoil the child too much. She said she
wanted to trade stocks, and you lent her the money? Throwing money into the stock market like that is unwise!
Mrs. Olsen defended Keira. Keira said at the time that she had insider information.
What insider information? Jake sneered. I think she probably got scammed! The stock market is dangerous right now. No matter how much money you have, youd lose it all! Fine if you suffer a loss, but why dra the Olsen family down with you?
Keira frowned. She immediately took out her phone and passed it to them. Who says I lost money?
