257 Recognition
Uncle Olsens gaze swept over her before settling back on the coffin.
He hesitated as he observed Keira, his brows slightly furrowing.
Keira was still unaware of his identity and asked, Handsome Uncle, whats wrong?
Uncle Olsen was still frowning.
They had originally made plans to dine together, but then Jodie South arrived, followed by the news that her daughter had been kidnapped, out at sea.
He immediately arranged to mobilize all the manpower he could in Oceanion, even calling people from Clance, to search the sea, and eventually, they pulled up a bloated corpse.
The face of the corpse was swollen from being in the water, rendering it unrecognizable.
Jodie South took one look and said it wasnt her daughter.
However, the police immediately conducted a DNA

comparison, confirming the identity of the deceased.
Jodie was overcome with shock at the revelation and fainted, remaining unconscious until now.
That old scoundrel Taylor had been by Jodies side the
whole time.
Uncle Olsen was there today to represent Jodie and to see her daughter off on her last journey.
It simply wasnt right for someone to be buried without any kin by their side.
But he had never expected to encounter his young friend in such a place.
He looked at Keira again. You know Mrs. Horton?
Keira pursed her lips, looking down as she lied, Yes, Im her high school classmate.
Uncle Olsen nodded and apologized. Sorry that I didnt show up as we planned that day. I had to leave early due to an urgent matter
Only now did Keira realize that she also hadnt made it
to the meal with Uncle Olsen that day.
Her throat tightened as she waved her hand

dismissively. I happened to have something urgent
that day too.
It was a matter of life and death.
Seeing a flicker of pain in her eyes, Uncle Olsen broached another subject. You know Mrs. Horton, so do you also know her mother Mrs. Olsen?
eira was taken aback. What about her?
Uncle Olsen looked down, sighing silently. Ive heard shes not doing well. If youre Mrs. Hortons classmate, perhaps you could visit Mrs. Olsen sometime.
At this, Keira grew anxious. Mrs. Olsen is not doing well?
Uncle Olsen nodded.
Immediately, Keira said, Ill go see her right away!
She turned to leave, but Howard grabbed her arm. Keera, where have you just been? Dont wander around at the Hortons place!
Keira frowned and after a moments thought, she said, I heard that Mrs. Hortons mother, Mrs. Olsen, isnt well. I was planning to pay her a visit.

Howards eyes lit up at her words. Youve finally learned to mingle? Ive heard that Mr. Horton is deeply committed to Mrs. Horton. If you can win over Mrs.
Olsen, itll be very beneficial to our company down the line!
But he hesitated. But Im not done here yet

who could pay their respects at the Horton
was a major figure in their industry. He had e the acquaintance of several such people and ready to leave.
eira immediately said, You stay here. Ill go alone. Well meet up at the hotel in the evening.
Fine.
Keira turned and left the room.
Howard was ready to mingle with the others when he heard a voice. Is that your wife?
Turning to Uncle Olsen, who exuded an extraordinary presence, Howard smiled and said, Yes, thats my wife, Keera South. Shes a high school classmate of Mrs. Horton, and they were especially close. So, when we heard about what happened to Mrs. Horton, she came

But Uncle Olsen seemed taken aback, his keen senses picking up on something. Your wifes surname is South?
Howard was surprised. Yes, thats right!
Uncle Olsens brows knitted together. That surname is
uncommon.
deed, you dont see that often
cle Olsen suddenly asked, Did she inherit that last name from her father?
Howard immediately frowned, afraid of slipping up. Who are you? Why are you prying into other peoples privacy?
Uncle Olsen paused momentarily, then suddenly extended his hand. Im Sam Olsen.
Howard was stunned and immediately overjoyed. Youre Uncle Olsen?! Forgive my rudeness. I didnt recognize you!
Keira left the house, wearing a mask.
But when she got outside, she found that there were

too many cars lined up. Many people had come to offer their condolences and, like Howard, they were trying to get to know more people, so they moved slowly.
This meant the exit was clear, but the entrance was completely blocked. Even if she called a cab now, she feared the vehicle wouldnt be able to squeeze in.
Keira was getting anxious.
At that moment, she saw a car entering nearby. It had just stopped at the entrance, ready to turn and get out.
Among the horde of vehicles, it stood out
conspicuously-it was Samuels ostentatious yellow sports car!
Keira walked straight to it and saw Samuel on the phone.
Samuels eyes were swollen from crying, seemingly having wept for quite a while.
He was still crying on the phone. Our boss is dead. Im not in the mood for a meeting! Cancel, cancel, cancel! I know this document is important, but today is my bosss funeral. I have to be here to say the final

Sitting in the passenger seat. Samuels heart was heavy with grief. He cried and cursed. Why am I so unlucky? Losing my boss was bad enough, and now youre stealing my beloved sports car in broad daylight?
Damn you, car thief! Stop the car on the side of the road right now! Im not in a good mood today, and I might not hold it against you
My poor boss Why did you have to leave like this? I was going to bid my boss the last farewell. Cant
you pick a better time for stealing my care? Dont you have any conscience? Among all these people, Im the only one truly here to mourn. How can you steal my car?!
Keira said, Shut up!
Hearing this familiar voice, Samuel instinctively closed his mouth, but the next moment he suddenly realized something, and started crying even harder. Your voice, its so similar to my bosss! If my boss were still alive, I would never let her get upset again. Id have her focus on retiring
Unable to stand his noise anymore, Keira silently removed her mask and looked at him.
