129 Stock Market
But the car that stopped in front of them was Lewis's exclusive black Bentley.
Everyone was somewhat surprised to see this car.
Isla and Jake even exchanged glances, both confused.
Why-had their uncle come back with Keira?
Taylor also frowned, a flicker of panic and concern flashing in his eyes.
Could Keira's husband be...
They were lost in thought when Keira got out of the car, and everyone
immediately turned to see who was behind her, but they saw...
No one else got out.
They all peered through the car door, looking inside the car, and indeed there
was no one else except the
driver.
Mrs. Olsen asked in puzzlement, “Keira, where is your
husband?”
Upon hearing this, Keira paused for a moment.

Two minutes ago.
Just as their car had made a turn and was about to
arrive at the Olsen residence, Lewis's phone suddenly
rang.
He glanced at the caller ID, and his expression immediately turned grave; he
answered the call at
once.
Whatever was said on the other end, Lewis ground his teeth. He looked at Keira
apologetically. “I have a very important matter...”
“Go,” she said.
Keira had never been a sentimental woman; she immediately spoke up.
But Lewis hesitated, “What about Mrs. Olsen..
“There will be plenty of other opportunities for acquainted. Let the car stop so I
can get out,” sh
Lewis was usually unreadable in his actions, but th time he looked anxious,
clearly an urgent matter w at hand.
He thought for two seconds, then immediately said,
“Stop the car”
D
The car stopped at the side of the road, and as Keira was about to get out, Lewis
held her arm. “You take the car. The gifts are all in the trunk. I think I can handle
this in an hour, and then I'll come and pick you up.”
Leaving those words, he and Tom got out of the car.
The moment the two men got out of the car, Lewis's bodyguards stopped at the
curb in another car.
Lewis hurried into the car and quickly left.
Thus, Keira arrived at the Olsens’ alone.
Upon hearing Mrs. Olsen's question and about to say something, her gaze swept
over Isla and Jake, and she understood that if she claimed that Lewis was her
husband, these two would again accuse her of wishful thinking.
Sometimes the truth was simply not believed.
Keira didn’t wish to disrupt dinner or exacerbat Olsen's concerns, so she simply
said with a comp demeanor, “He’s busy with something and will con
later.”
Taylor couldn't help but interject. “What could he
[0]
possibly be so busy with?”
Isla immediately laughed. “Dad, don’t say that. Being with family might be the
most important thing to you, but for ordinary people, earning some overtime pay
is better than anything. Isn't that right, Keira?”
Mrs. Olsen, not wanting Keira to be embarrassed, quickly interjected. “It's good
as long as he can come.”
The driver got out of the car, opened the trunk, and began taking out the
prepared gifts one by one.
The number of gifts wasn't as many as what Jake
Horton had brought, but the quality was just as good, if
not better.
After putting down the six gifts, the driver said, “Miss Olsen, I'll wait for you in the
car.”
“Okay, thank you,”
Keira said her thanks, then held Mrs. Olsen’s arm and
led her inside.
Behind her, Jake Horton suddenly let out a cold laugh, “Keira, my uncle really
dotes on you. He even lent you his car and took things from the Horton family for
you to give as gifts. But does he know you came with your
4/9
husband to see your relatives?”
His words were sarcastic, making Mrs. Olsen frown.
Keira glanced at him indifferently. “Jake, how did the Horton family teach you
manners? Are you so free to pry and joke about an elder’s private affairs?”
Jake was taken aback, clenching his fists.
Keira smiled a little.
Mrs. Olsen immediately said, “Jake, there must be some misunderstanding
between Keira and Mr. Horton. Don’t jump to conclusions. Keira has always been
self-reliant; she isn’t that kind of person.”
Jake wanted to say something more, but Mrs. Olsen said, “Keira, let's have a
chat and wait for
husband.”
your
Keira said, “That won't be necessary. Mrs. Olsen, le
have dinner.”
Having started her own business, she understood how many things a company
had to deal with each day. Lewis said he would come to pick her up, but he might
not be able to make it on time.
With Isla and Jake here...
&
She just wanted to check on Mrs. Olsen, then quickly finish the meal and leave.
Mrs. Olsen obviously understood her intentions and thus led everyone to the
dining room.
They all took their seats.
The kitchen began to serve the dishes.
Looking at the dishes in front of her, Isla suddenly said kindly, “Keira, did your
husband have dinner? He probably hasn't had such a lavish meal, right? Maybe
you should save a bit of each dish for him, so he won't have to eat leftovers.”
Keira didn’t respond.
Isla and Jake were truly a match made in heaven. They never knew when to
stop.
She smiled faintly. “My husband can certainly afford meal.”
Isla immediately explained, “That's not what I meant...”
Mrs. Olsen frowned and said sharply, “Isla, that's enough! Keira is Dr. South.
Even if her husband has an ordinary job, their family isn’t in need of money!”

Isla pursed her lips and said
sarcastically, “Mom, how can you say
they aren't short on money? Have
you forgotten the last time Keira
came to you to borrow money for
stock trading?” The content is on

At these words, Jake and Taylor immediately turned their gaze toward Keira.
Taylor asked with knitted brows. “You went into stock trading? The stock market
is so volatile right now; only a fool would enter the market lightly. What stocks
were you trading?”

Isla chimed in. “Keira, did you invest
all the money you earned into the
stock market and lose it? Is that why
you haven't bought a house or a car
up to now? Mom is right. As Dr.
South, you shouldn't be short of
money.” The content is on

Keira looked at her with a smile that wasn’t quite smile, “I'm not short of money.”
“If you're not short of money, why did you borrow from Mom to trade stocks?” Isla
burst out in anger a she brought up the matter.
Because Keira borrowed the money, Isla couldn't come up with the five million for
Finley, which resulted in Connor killing Finley, and Connor had gone to jail...

This left her with a ticking time bomb.
After all, she didn’t know when Connor might spill the secret of her parentage!
Taylor, too, frowned and looked at Mrs. Olsen. “Shirley, you really spoil the child
too much. She said she
wanted to trade stocks, and you lent her the money? Throwing money into the
stock market like that is unwise!”
Mrs. Olsen defended Keira. “Keira said at the time that she had insider
information.”

“What insider information?” Jake
sneered. “I think she probably got
scammed! The stock market is
dangerous right now. No matter how
much money you have, you'd lose it
all! Fine if you suffer a loss, but why
dra the Olsen family down with you?”

Keira frowned. She immediately took out her phone and passed it to them. “Who
says I lost money?”
