Mrs. Olsen asked with a bit of urgency.
She didn’t know what result she wanted.
She was even less aware of what the future held. All she knew was that she urgently wanted to clarify whether
Keira and Taylor were related!
After all, the amniocentesis Poppy had undergone. should have been impossible to fake.
So how could Poppy's daughter not be Taylor's
daughter?
Unless...
A thought flickered through her mind.
As Mrs. Olsen was pondering, she heard Aunt South's
voice.
“Madam, what's the rush? The normal testing period is three days.”
“Right.”
Mrs. Olsen felt a little disappointed. The epiphany that had sparked in her mind was now gone because of the

interruption.
Forget it. She would wait for the results.
Keira had no idea that such had unfolded at the
Olsen family’s doorstep.
At this moment, she had returned to the small villa in the Horton family compound, to her own bedroom. She
had already messaged Lewis to tell him she was back, and there was no need for him to cand pick
her up.
But Lewis hadn't replied to her message.
At first, Keira didn’t think much of it, but when it was midnight and there was still no message on her WhatsApp,
she couldn’t help but glance at her phone.
She was usually a calm person; she never fretted when someone didn’t reply to her messages.
But this time...
Had Lewis run into strouble?
She suddenly felt a little concerned, so she took out her phone and sent a Whatmessage to Tom. “Is

Mr. Horton still busy?”
Tom immediately replied, “Yes, it's a bit troublesome.”
Keira said, “If there’s anything | can help with, just let

Tom said, “Well, this isn’t really something you can
interfere with.”
Keira asked, “Why?”
Tom said, “I dare not say it. You should ask the boss when you have time.”
Keira frowned when she saw the last message.
What kind of matter couldn't be mentioned?
She slightly tilted her head.
Could it be that Lewis had a mistress on the side?
The thought seemed ridiculous to her.
For stnow, Lewis had been spending almost every evening with old Mrs. Horton, and she was there too.
Even when she was slandered as a murderer and locked up, Lewis spent those nights...
Oh, wait, that wasn’t right. The night she was

Was there any connection between these two days?
Keira shook her head and decided to stop thinking
about it.
She just lay down and went to sleep.
The next day, Keira slept in until nine o'clock before getting up. Pushing open the door, she saw Fiona and old
Mrs. Horton sitting on the couch.
She casually walked over and asked, “Has Mr. Horton gone to work?”
Fiona hesitated.
Keira asked, “What's the matter?”
Fiona cleared her throat and glanced at old Mrs.
Horton before speaking. “Well, Mr. Horton didn’t cback last night.”
Keira frowned.
She took out her phone, only to find out that her Whatmessage hadn't been replied to.
She tensed her jaw.
Old Mrs. Horton immediately picked up her phone upon seeing this. “What's that brat up to? He didn’t

chlast night. Doesn’t he know this affects you
two making a baby?”
Keira was speechless.
No sooner had old Mrs. Horton dialed out than a ringtone rang out outside the door.
Everyone looked up to see Lewis stride in.
He appeared to have gone without sleep all night, with a hint of weariness in his eyes and a touch of redness
in his eyes.
He was now pulling out a mobile phone from his pocket, saw it was old Mrs. Horton calling, hung up, and then
said, “Sorry, I'm back for a shower and a change of clothes.”
After he hung up, he seemed to notice the message from Keira on WhatsApp, so he looked at her, “Sorry, | didn’t
look at my phone last night.”
Too busy to look at his phone all night...
What was he busy with?
Although Keira was somewhat curious, she nodded all
the same.

She was never one to make a fuss.
Lewis started walking to the bedroom, but then he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked toward
Keira.
She was wearing a casual blazer and slim-fit jeans today, looking more formal than usual-it was clear she was
heading out.
He asked, “Are you... going out for something?”
“Yes, it's...” Keira saw his tired face and swallowed the part about Professor Miller's birthday. “There's a bit of a
situation at the company. | need to go there for a bit.”
She and Samuel had a company that was recently busy with the IPO, which Lewis knew about, so he nodded and
left her with, “If you need help, just ask,” before entering the bedroom.
Keira wasn’t exactly lying.
After having breakfast, she did go to the company where there were documents needing her signature and some
work waiting for her attention.
She used to handle these once a week.

It had been busy recently, and things had piled up quite a bit, so she was busy until half past eleven before
heading to Professor Miller's birthday celebration after finishing up.
Lewis took a quick shower and then lay on the sofa to catch up on a couple of hours of sleep.
He didn’t set an alarm; his strong self-discipline meant he woke up precisely at eleven, changed into a new suit,
readied himself, and headed out.
It was then he realized that Isla and Jake were also there, chatting with old Mrs. Horton.
Lewis originally didn’t want to bother with them, but just as he was about to leave, he heard Isla’s voice
deliberately raised. “Grandma, later we're going to Professor Miller's birthday. Jake and | will attend his
celebration. Keira is going too, oh, and her husband is also going.”
Lewis immediately stopped in his tracks.
Her husband was going too?
How che didn’t know?

His brows twisted in a frown. He halted, turned to pour a glass of water, and wasn’t in a rush to leave
anymore.
As expected, without him needing to say a word, old Mrs. Horton spoke up. “That brat is going too? Then why
didn’t you leave with my granddaughter-in-law!”
Isla said, “Great-grandma, you must be mistaken. Keira isn’t your granddaughter-in-law. She’s married with a
husband. Yesterday Jake and | saw him at the Olsen
house!”
Lewis, drinking water, was perplexed.
He suddenly frowned, his gaze turning sharp as he looked at her, a domineering pressure immediately bearing
down.
Isla could feel the fury too. Standing up to that
intimidating look, she said, “Mr. Horton, it’s true. Her husband is a construction worker. He works on the building
site, and he'll be going to the class reunion as
well.”
A construction worker? Working on the building site?
Lewis felt like he could hardly breathe. Was this how

He suddenly realized that when he asked Keira where she was going today, she had hesitated before
replying... It was obvious that she was worried she might disturb his rest.
He hadn't accompanied her to the Olsen house last
night, and today’s class reunion was sure to be another affair full of comparisons.
Lewis asked, “Where is the gathering?”
Isla promptly said, “It’s arranged by Jake, at the Emperor Palace Hotel.”
Lewis grabbed his suit jacket and turned to leave.
Getting into the car, the driver asked, “Sir, where to?”
“Emperor Palace Hotel.”
