Keira was momentarily dumbfounded.
By her side, Lewis had already walked over, glancing inconspicuously at her card as he asked, Is it from the same person who sent you the token of commitment? Keira found it amusing and handed him the card.
After seeing Uncle Olsens name, Lewis cleared his throat and complained, Why would an elder send roses?
Keira sighed silently.
So, sending flowers to charm a girl was a universal tactic?
But she wasnt really angry with Uncle Olsen. After a he had done it to stand up for Mrs. Olsen
She just felt that if Mrs. Olsen and Uncle Olsen didn meet, and she went to meet and chat with Uncle Olsen, it might upset her mother.
She quietly turned to the butler, Please put these flowers in the living room.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses were simply too
many.
The butler nodded and carried the flowers out.
Only after he left did Keira look around Lewiss room. This bedroom of Lewiss wasnt actually the family heads room; the room that Oliver was living in was. As soon as Oliver got married, Nathan immediately vacated the place for him and Melissa, sending a clear signal to the outside world: Oliver was to be the future family head.
Unfortunately for Oliver, Lewis snatched the position of the family head. Initially, Nathan, using the excuse of Lewis not being married, didnt let Oliver give up the
room
Later, after Lewis got married, they occupied the master bedroom under the pretext that Lewiss wife
was a
and hadnt returned home.
Now, they simply didnt mention the matter at all.
Lewis didnt care about such things.
The main house had four floors in total, with over a
dozen rooms on each floor which were more than

enough.
The rooms decor was a minimalist style in black,
white, and gray. Besides the necessary furniture, there was only one bed.
Keira immediately looked toward Lewis. Where are you going to sleep?
Lewis glanced at the bed.
Keira cleared her throat, Were not close enough to the point where we can share a bed, right?
Thinking back to the kis made her extremely embarrassed.
Lewis cleared his throat and pointed at the sofa nearby, Ill sleep on the sofa.
Keira breathed a sigh of relief.
The sofa was spacious; he wouldnt feel cramped sleeping on it.
Keira had thought she wouldnt be able to sleep, but the soft bed was filled with Lewiss fresh, grassy scent, which lulled her into sleep.
That was tough for Lewis on the sofa.

The woman he loved was only a few steps away, yet he frustratingly couldnt touch her
Waking up the next day, Keira met his slightly resentful gaze. Seeing the redness in the whites of his eyes, she generously suggested, Is the sofa uncomfortable? You can have the bed tonight!
After washing up, the two went downstairs to visit old Mrs. Horton.
Keira checked her phone and saw a message from Corey Mills. Director Nora, weve cleared up the case of Logan Lee pilfering the medicine!
Upon reading this, Keira looked down and sneered.
Leaving old Mrs. Hortons courtyard under the management of Selena was nothing but Lewiss compromise since he couldnt get his hands on the medicine.
Although he spoke casually, he was always worried about old Mrs. Horton.
Last night, he occasionally checked the surveillance
Since she was the one who develoned the medicine.

why should she let Selena earn a favor here?
She smiled and replied to the message. Bring the medicine and come to the Horton residence
immediately.
Corey Mills wrote, Understood.
At this moment, Oliver and Selena were talking inside old Mrs. Hortons courtyard.
Unable to hold back, Oliver asked, Hows it going? Has the old lady relented?
Selena revealed a bitter expression. Didnt they say the old lady was getting muddled? I find her quite sharp. Every time we talk about the dowry, she pretends to be confused
She sighed. Dad, getting this spot really took a lot o effort; we cant end up with nothing!
Oliver sneered, I knew Grandma would do this. After all these years, even if shes become senile, her heart has always been biased toward Lewis! But dont worry, Ive arranged everything for you well in advance!
Selena smiled. I knew you loved me the most, Dad.

Oliver looked around and then said, I see youve emptied the old lady of all her jewelry; those are useless. Her most important things are in the safe!
Selena hesitated, But whats the password?
Oliver thought for a moment and then spoke, Try Lewiss birthday.
Selenas eyes lit up.
She entered old Mrs. Hortons bedroom, made an excuse to send Fiona away, and then squatted in front of the safe, entering Lewiss birthday.
Password incorrect.
Selena frowned and entered the date in reverse order; she then heard a click, and the correct password unlocked the safe!
Selenas eyes lit up as she opened the safe.
It was filled with all sorts of important documents. After flipping through them briefly, Selena realized their value.
She immediately took out a bag and began to stuff the property deeds and ownership contracts inside, but
inst then.

Woof!
A dog barked, and a puppy pounced in front of her, biting at her hand!
Selena cried out in surprise and instinctively flung the dog away.
But the puppy, though not fully grown, was fiercely loyal and bit down hard, refusing to let go.
Let go!
Selena shouted, and several people immediately
rushed in!
Fiona saw the open safe, and her pupils shrank. She quickly went over to close it, while Oliver approached the puppy and kicked it away with force!
Bastard, how dare you bite people!
Bang!
The puppy hit the ground and rolled several times
It was clearly in pain, but it still managed to roll on ground and lunged at Selena again, baring its tiny
teeth.
It thought it was intimidating, but its little form looked

more silly and adorable. However, because it was
injured, it swayed a bit, struggling to stand.

Fionas heart broke for the puppy!
This puppy was bought by old Mrs. Horton for Keira, but later, Keira didnt take it to the company, Fiona and old Mrs. Horton looked after it.
The dog was loyal and protective of its master, and luckily for today, it stopped a theft from the safe just in
time!
She immediately went over, picked up the puppy, and then noticed someone had kicked it hard. She urgently said, Quick, call a vet!
Selena looked at the bite marks on her hand; the
puppys teeth werent fully grown, so no matter how hard it bit, it didnt break the skin.
But it still hurt!
Angry, her face turned steely as she said, Why is dog biting people erratically?
Fiona retorted. Kitty is loyal to its owner. If you werent stealing, why would it bite you?
What are you saying? What do you mean by stealing?

I was just helping my great-grandmother keep things safe, and besides, am I not the owner of this house?
She looked at Oliver with a wronged expression. Dad, has the Horton family not accepted me yet?
Oliver immediately shouted angrily, What nonsense are you talking about? Youre the daughter of the Horton family. This bastard dog bit its owner without reason; someone come and throw this puppy out and beat it to death with sticks!
At these words, Fionas pupils shrank. No way.
You, a mere servant, dare to be so insolent to your master! Do you think you have a say here?
Seeing the bodyguards outside hesitant to act, Oliver stepped forward, snatched the puppy, and made a bee-line for the door!
Fiona chased after him. Oliver, that dog belongs to and Mrs. Horton; you cant do this!
No matter whose dog it is, if it dares to bite its owne its not a good dog! Ill punish it to see if itll dare to bite people again!
Oliver once again threw the puppy onto the ground.

The puppy was harshly thrown down. Feeling too
painful to stand, it lay on the ground at the mercy of
others.
Then Oliver picked up a stick from nearby and mercilessly smashed it down on the small puppy!
