Keira was slightly startled.
The people around were also confused, discussing among themselves. “What's
this? What's going on?” Keira took the opportunity to observe the crowd.
Everyone looked bewildered, not understanding what this meant.
In the crowd, only two people remained calm, their eyes even betraying a hint of
excitement.
It was Jake and Isla.
What were the two of them up to?
Just as Keira had this thought, the curtain fell, and with a “click,” the projector
was turned on, and a photo was projected onto the screen!
Keira's pupils constricted.
The photo was the one that had been surreptitiously taken of her and Lewis
previously.
Both were dressed normally, only they were lying on the sofa, heads close
together, looking from afar like

they were kissing...
The photo was actually quite innocent, showing nothing explicit, but their gazes
seemed to melt together, and being so close made Keira suddenly
think of that night... She felt her cheeks flush, then she frowned.
The scene then exploded into an uproar!
Rebecca couldn't believe it as she turned her head to look at Keira.
Erin stepped out from among the classmates, mocking them with a laugh. “Keep
making excuses. Just now you were still saying that there was nothing between
Keira and Mr. Horton, weren't you? Not talking now, are you?”
Rebecca stammered, “...It must be edited, yes, there must be a
misunderstanding Miss Keira couldn't possibly be this kind of person!”
Although she didn’t know how to explain it, she firmly believed in Keira.
A slight smile tugged at the corners of Keira’s lips.
Erin scoffed, “Edited photos all have traces. This

screen is so big, and the photo spreads so naturally.
Anyone who isn't blind can see it's real. How could you stand there and lie
through your teeth?”
The people around started to talk.
“Right, and her own mother came out to say so. Now there are photos as
evidence too, proving that this affair is real...”
“Some people are really shameless, fawning over dementia-stricken old Mrs.
Horton, thinking they can enter the elite by becoming a rich lady?”
“Oh my God, isn't this too sensational? Is Mr. Horton really treating his wife fairly
with such actions?”
“Haven't you heard? This Keira is married too, both are engaging in extramarital
affairs...”
Amidst the accusations of the crowd, Mrs. Olsen and Taylor also stepped
forward.
Seeing the content on the screen, Mrs. Olsen's pupils shrank, and she
instinctively looked toward Isla, shouting urgently, “Take it down now!”
It seemed that no one from the Horton family had
153 A Plan within a Plan
considered minimizing the damage. Instead, it was
Mrs. Olsen, whose reminder brought everyone back to
their senses.
A butler wanted to take action but was stopped by Jake. “Many reporters have
snuck in. It's already too
late to take it down. I think the best course of action is
to have Uncle give everyone a reasonable explanation!”
Upon hearing this, the executives from the Horton Group who were following
Jake started to speak.
“Yes, yes, what is going on, Mr. Horton? His image affects the company; how can
he be so reckless?!”
“Wasn't it this young girl who started her internship at the company some time
ago? How did she end up entering our home with such ease?”
“It's over. Some busybody has already sent out the situation here, and the heat is
rising now!”
“Where's the PR department? Hurry up and contact them. This matter concerns
the entire Horton Group's shares. We must not allow it to impact us too greatly!
Otherwise, when the market opens tomorrow, the
stock price is sure to plummet!”

“We can’t control the heat. I don't know what's
happening, but it seems like someone is secretly pushing it, and the heat has
soared!”

Today was old Mrs. Horton's birthday celebration, which was grand and
imposing. It wasn't only attended by relatives and friends but also regular
business partners. Most of the Horton Group’s executives were here as well.
At this moment, everyone has gathered together, discussing the issue eagerly.
While the Horton Group's executives were discussing, Poppy had already
approached Keira, grabbed her hand, and looked at Madeleine. “Mrs. Horton, do
you see? This is the evidence that my daughter slept with Mr. Horton! Now you
can't refute it, can you? You must give her an explanation today!”
Madeleine's eyes became teary, and she looked around in a panic and at a loss.
Isla angrily questioned Keira “Keira, this is the eighty-sixth birthday celebration of
our
great-grandmother; don’t go too far! She has been so

good to you. If you have any conscience, take your mom and leave immediately!”
Jake also said, “Right, now that the matter has blown up this much, it's better if
you leave quickly! Stop
embarrassing yourself here! And stop causing trouble for my uncle!”
But Poppy strained her neck and shouted, “Why should you drive us away?”
She turned her gaze to Mrs. Olsen and Taylor, malice flashing in her eyes, and
headed straight for them. “Mrs. Olsen, please help! Back then, you kindly took
me and Keira in. You can persuade Mrs. Horton now... After all, Keira was raised
by you. You can't just watch her being wronged...”
Her words made everyone turn toward Mrs. Olsen.
The heirs of wealthy families all had one or two mistresses outside.
Their legitimate wives at home surely looked down on them, and Mrs. Olsen’s
actions were clearly incomprehensible to them, even instigating hostility.
If every family allowed mistresses with children to enter their doors how could
they ensure their own

interests?
Therefore, they accused her in unison.
“That's her, the one who let the mistress into the
house. I've never seen such a foolish woman!”

“Such deep scheming. I heard she’s from Clance.

The accusations turned Mrs. Olsen's face white, and she staggered as if she

“Shirley!”
Taylor held her in a hurry.
Keira, seeing this, stepped forward anxiously, wanting to check on her
condition...
But she was pushed away by Taylor. “Stay away from Shirley! If it weren't for you,
how could Shirley possibly be insulted like this?”
Keira clenched her fists.
Just then, Lewis, having changed his clothes, finally came downstairs!
