The night had deepened.
The moon was large tonight, hanging low in the sky.
After Keira stepped outside, a chill hit her, but she only felt exhilarated. The
malice from being called an illegitimate daughter gradually dissipated without her
noticing.
She looked ahead at Mr. and Mrs. Allen and
approached them. “What's the matter? Is there an issue with Rebecca?”
“No,” Mrs. Allen said, “As we were leaving, we saw... that Poppy Hill woman
creating a scene at the gate of the Horton family. We thought it would be better to
intervene.”
Keira was startled, then promptly replied, “Right, okay.”
The Allens had returned after leaving, and she thought they had some important
matter to discuss, but it turned out to be just that.
As she was pondering this, Mrs. Allen spoke again. “We just called Frankie,
asking him to bring the repaired

photo over quickly. Do you have time tomorrow
evening? We would like to invite you for dinner and show you the photo.”
Keira was taken aback.
It was the second time tonight that Mrs. Allen had brought up that photo, asking
her to see it...
Although she didn’t understand the reason, she knew Mrs. Allen meant her no
harm, and she nodded right away. “I'm available.”
“Good, then Miss Keira, see you tomorrow evening.”
Mrs. Allen patted her hand and then turned to drag Mr. Allen out with her.
Mr. Allen asked quietly, “Why don’t you tell her your suspicion?”
“Without proof, what's there to say? If the guess is wrong, wouldn't that just upset
Keira needlessly? Frankie will arrive tomorrow, and we can talk about it when we
have the photo in hand in the evening. It's better than anything. There's no harm
in waiting another day.”
Mr. Allen laughed. “Okay, whatever you say.”

Their low murmurs drifted faintly, making it hard for Keira to catch what they were
saying. She didn’t know what they were talking about, but seeing them huddle
together and whisper with laughter somehow gave off a sense of serene
happiness.
Keira thought of how Taylor always carefully held Mrs. Olsen in his arms, going to
great lengths to please her, all of which seemed too deliberate and servile.
Their relationship wasn't harmonious like that of Mr. and Mrs. Allen.
In fact, from a young age, everyone could see that Taylor cherished Mrs. Olsen,
treating her like a delicate treasure, yet Mrs. Olsen was rather aloof and didn’t
seem to care as much about him.
Everyone said it was because of Keira and Poppy's
existence that made Taylor feel guilty in front of Mrs. Olsen...
Keira shook her head, feeling that she might be overthinking.
The Olsen family’s interactions were indeed quite strange.
Mr Olson was proud yet she was able to tolerate the

presence of Taylor's illegitimate daughter and mistress. Taylor disliked Keira,
feeling that her presence affected his relationship with Mrs. Olsen.
But Mrs. Olsen could be very gentle with Keira...
Keira was somewhat confused about the dynamics of their marriage.
“What are you thinking about?” Lewis's deep voice came from beside her.
Keira then said, “What do you think we'll be like when
we're old?”
At that moment, Mr. and Mrs. Allen had already walked to their car. Mr. Allen
opened the door and raised his hand to shield the top of Mrs. Allen's head as she
got in, seemingly worried she would bump her head.
Mrs. Allen turned back and gave him a slight smile.
Lewis saw their interaction, a trace of envy flickering in his eyes, “We'll probably
be like Mr. and Mrs. Allen then.”
Keira was about to say that Lewis didn’t have the good temper of Mr. Allen, but
before she could speak, she

heard him say, “A son and a daughter will be perfect. How many children would
you like to have?”
Keira was perplexed.
That was a quick jump.
She coughed and quickly changed the subject. “Let's go and take Grandma back
first”
Lewis nodded.
The two returned to the banquet hall.
Nannies busied themselves around, cleaning up after the party, and the bustling
cacophony suddenly quieted down, making the hall seem spacious.
Keira, however, preferred the silence that followed when the music had ended
and the guests had dispersed.
She and Lewis approached old Mrs. Horton, and Keira held onto old Mrs.
Horton's arm, “Grandma, let's go
home.”
“Okay.”
Old Mrs. Horton affectionately patted her hand, then glared fiercely at Nathan.

With a cold face, Nathan said, “Mom, don't look at me like that. Your
granddaughter-in-law comes from the wrong background and is an illegitimate
daughter. Even if she escapes today, if she does anything in the future that
shames the Horton family, I'll show absolutely no mercy!”
After these words, he snorted and turned to go upstairs.
Old Mrs. Horton, furious, pointed at him from behind and cursed. “You
disrespectful son! You're so biased toward your eldest son, so I'll be on my
youngest grandson's side! Hmph!”
Having said this in a petulant, childlike manner, she grabbed Keira's hand.
“Moreover, marrying my granddaughter-in-law is like a blessing from our
ancestors. My granddaughter-in-law would never bring shame to the Horton
family! Lewis, tell me. Isn't that right?”
Lewis laughed as he glanced at Keira. “Yes.”
As the three of them left the living room and walked toward the back courtyard,
they heard the sound of a car horn from up front, followed by Fiona saying, “Miss

Isla has been brought back.”
That was within their expectations.
Isla was pregnant, and the police couldn't possibly detain her. They would only
give her a verbal warning and a fine, then ask her to apologize to Keira and
Lewis. With that, the matter would be over.
Keira didn't care, but when she lay down at night and took out her phone, she
found that Isla had sent her many insulting messages.
She must be pregnant and emotional and added to the huge embarrassment of
the night, she was somewhat on the edge.
In the messages, she cursed Keira.
“Keira, you illegitimate daughter, you were born a bitch! What makes you think
you can marry my uncle?! You did it on purpose, didn’t you, trying to be better
than me?!

Keira didn’t know what to say.
Looking at the phone messages with the glaring words “illegitimate daughter,”
she clenched her jaw and typed back. “Are you sure that the child in your belly
has the
surname Horton?"
The response promptly ceased, and there was no reply for a long time.
Keira lowered her eyes, suddenly feeling that those two words had affected her
mood...
The night passed without incident, and time moved swiftly to the next day.
When Keira woke up, she picked up her phone to find a message from Rebecca.
