140 Husband
Although Keira knew that she wasnt Taylors daughter, she was indeed raised as the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family
In the past, she cared a lot about this and even felt
that her blood was tainted.
Under Poppys relentless brainwashing, she felt she had let down the Olsen family and Isla.
She recalled that when she was going to leave the Olsen family, Poppy wouldnt let her go and wanted her to slave away for the family. She knelt for ten grueling hours.
At thirteen years old, she dressed in thin clothes, kneeling in the cold winter.
After a full ten hours, she stubbornly looked at Poppy and asked, Can I now leave the Olsen family?
Ever since then, she never brought up her own identity
again.
Jake accused her of deceiving him and keeping it from him, but in reality, she didnt intentionally hide it. She

just didnt know how to break the news. She had already decided, back then, that if Jake confessed his love to her by graduation, she would reveal her identity.
Looking back now, she suddenly felt that her past twenty-something years were actually confined by
Poppy.
Poppy crafted a cage called illegitimate daughter and firmly bound her within it.
But how important was a persons background, really?
Keira had already come to terms with it. She just hadnt learned to face it openly.
Now, she was finally able to face it.
The whole private room was silent.
Everyone looked at Keira with disbelief, then turned toward Isla and began whispering among themselves:
Oh my God, are they actually sisters?
What sisters? Thats an illegitimate daughter, which means Keiras mother is the other woman! If I were

Isla, I would hate her to death, right?
But it doesnt seem like it, right? Keira has always been working hard on work-study programs. I heard she earned her tuition by working part-time
While a few people were whispering among themselves, Erin suddenly realized something and burst out loudly. Keira, so thats what you are. Why didnt you tell everyone?! Your background is just disgusting! Your mom is the mistress, isnt she? She wrecked another family, and you yourself are a vixen, seducing every man. How could I have a classmate like
you?!
She turned to Isla. Isla, arent you too kind to her? Why didnt you speak up about this earlier?
Back in primary and middle school, Isla would stir things up so that all her classmates knew, and at that age, children knew that stepmothers and mistresses- were the scariest, which would make them detest
Keira.
But since high school, that trick no longer worked.
After all, there were few people like Erin who harbored personal prejudices against Keira, and most

were
This is the 21st century already. Is there still anyone who judges others by their background? Whats the matter? Youre so arrogant! Is your family royalty or what?
Thats so funny. My ancestors are relatives of aristocrats, but am I arrogant? Whats wrong with someones background? Can a person choose their own parents?
Really? Youre a descendant of a noble family?
Cant you tell a joke? Go away
A few people couldnt stand Erins attack and shot back
at her.
Heroes are not judged by their origins, and whatever Keiras background may be, it isnt something she chose. As long as shes outstanding in her own right, who would bother asking about her origins?
Speaking of origins, if we dig three generations back, who isnt descended from humble beginnings?!
Erin, how great is your background? What do your parents do? Does your family own a palace?

Erin was struck speechless by the questions. She then retorted angrily, Youve all been bewitched by that seductress, havent you? All the boys are speaking up for her! Unbelievable!
Her words enraged the silent female classmates.
The girls spoke less not because they were less straightforward than the boys, nor did they rant and rave like them. But now that they were called out, they started chattering.
Erin, youve gone too far! Were all classmates, and even though Keira might have been a bit reclusive at school, shes actually got a nice personality! There was a time when I was on duty and couldnt reach something up high, and it was Keira who helped me! said a petite girl.
Another voice chimed in. I think youre just jealous because you like Charles, but hes always speaking up for Dr. South. Dont make it about boys and girls. People are annoyed with you, regardless of gender because of the way you act!
Exactly, you think youre so great, that your background is so superior. Can you surpass Dr. South

in terms of research achievements?
Everyone was denouncing Erin.
Isla watched from the side, lowered her gaze, and let out a cold laugh.
See, if she told the truth, she would end up just like
Erin
Watching Erin about to be reduced to tears by the crowds scolding, Isla said, I agree with you guys. So Keira, you really shouldnt just marry someone at random because of your background You should ask Dad for his opinion Dad was very upset and felt sorry for you when he saw your husband yesterday
At these words, Erin suddenly found a new angle attack. She stood up abruptly as if this posture w give her an advantage over everyone else!
She let out a cold laugh and then confronted the me who had just spoken. You say you dont care about family backgrounds, but would you really be willing to marry her?
All those men were immediately at a loss for words.

Erin sneered. Her mother is a notorious
homewrecker. A daughter born from such a woman is bound to be lascivious by nature. Arent you afraid shell make a cuckold out of you someday? Moreover, if your relatives and friends ask about your wifes family, what will you say? Marriage isnt just between two people but between two families. Can you honestly say that your parents, knowing her circumstances, would agree you to marry her?
Her words left most of the men dumbfounded.
Everyone had just graduated. Who was thinking about marriage yet?
Erin then let out a defiant laugh. Ha! None of you dare to guarantee that you could marry her for sure, do you? With her kind background, which decent family would accept her?
Whoever marries her will be a laughingstock! Mr. Horton liked her so much that he pursued her for four whole years, but isnt it for this very reason that he
didnt end up with her? Even someone like Mr. Horton couldnt settle the problem, so what makes you think you could?

Erin then turned to Scott. So, she just randomly
picked a construction worker, right? Only someone of that status wouldnt mind her background! After all, an illegitimate daughter can only be matched with a
lowlife!
The room fell silent for a moment.
Isla smiled triumphantly at this turn of events.
That was exactly the effect she wanted!
Keira was really that shameful, huh? No matter how impressive she was, she could only match up with a
construction worker!
Just as this thought crossed her mind, a deep voice from Lewis broke the silence. Have you said enough?
Everyone turned to look at him, only to see the man deep gaze and hear his calm voice. Who says her
husband is a construction worker?
