101 The Stolen Life
Keira’s eyes were cold and sharp. The smirk at the
corner of her mouth was devilishly enticing, carrying a wild vibe.
A sense of alienation from the world engulfed her.
The truth was, she never really felt she belonged to
this world.
When she was little, Isla had her classmates isolate and bully her. After leaving
the Olsen family, she kept to herself over the years, making few friends.
The opinions and views of others were irrelevant to
her.
She wasn't afraid of the invectives on the internet
did she fear the real-life reproaches. The words of journalists and Poppy hadn't
perturbed her at all.
So even if she threw a punch and hit someone, whic caused her name to trend
online, she wouldn't care!
With that thought, she took a step forward. The aura of defiance around her
suddenly intensified!
The journalists immediately hoisted up their cameras,

ready to capture the moment she initiated an attack. Once that happened, she
would become the target of public outrage!
But just then!
A deep voice filled with sternness rang out suddenly.
“Stop!”
Surprised, Keira looked downstairs to see a tall figure striding toward them.
Lewis dressed in a tailored suit and was angry when he saw the scene. He
waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him surged forward, isolating Keira
and the journalists and filling the narrow staircase.
The bodyguards emitted an intimidating aura, and their fierce appearance
intimidated the journalists
Poppy.
Josh swallowed nervously. “Mr. Horton, what's going
on?”
Lewis's eyes were dark. “I suspect that you're illegally infringing on Miss Olsen's
freedom!”
Josh quickly defended himself. “We are just doing a
normal interview...”

His voice lacked conviction even as he spoke.
“Normal?” Lewis scoffed. “You can discuss that with my legal team.”
Having said that, he walked over to Keira, picked up her suitcase with one hand
while grabbing her wrist with the other, and led her down the stairs.
This time, no one dared to obstruct them.
As Keira followed him down and out of the building, the sunlight showered upon
her, sweeping away the gloom in her chest.
She looked up at the blinding sunlight, her expression cold and her voice
indifferent. “You shouldn't have come. Those journalists couldn't have cornered
me.”
Lewis replied, “If you hit someone, you'll be critic
“I'm not afraid of being criticized.”
“But you shouldn't be criticized.”
Keira was taken aback.
She had become accustomed to being criticized and being incompatible with
others. She was used to

putting up a prickly defense. She never thought she’d hear such words one day.
The coldness around her gradually faded, and the alienation in her eyes slowly
vanished.
Suddenly, she let out a soft chuckle.
Lewis asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“I'm just thinking how miserable Connor must be right
now.”
Keira looked up and was back to her old self again. “He’s probably on the verge
of collapsing...”
If Connor couldn't hang in there and go to Isla, the two of them would fall out.
Keira could then produce evidence of Connor being the murderer. Once he was
arrested, he would expose the secret that Finley t to his grave...
As they talked, they came to Lewis's Bentley. As the door opened, Keira
immediately noticed that old Mrs
Horton was inside.
Old Mrs. Horton's gaze fell upon their still holding hands... Her eyes lit up. “Well
done, my boy!”
Keira had just realized that they were holding hands.

She instantly withdrew her hand, finding the spot where he’d gripped her wrist
was hot.
To change the subject from the old lady’s amused expression, she asked,
“Grandma, what are you doing here?”
Old Mrs. Horton promptly replied, “Of course, I came to pick up my
granddaughter-in-law and take her home!”
“Home?”
