Keira didn't leave the hospital ward that night.
Even when Taylor came back in the evening and Mrs. Olsen asked her to return
to the Horton family, Keira didn’t agree.
It wasn't until the next morning that Mrs. Olsen's health had fully recovered.
Keira handled her discharge procedures and after sending her back to the Olsen
family, Mrs. Olsen once again pressured her to return to the Horton family...
Old Mrs. Horton was still seriously ill, and Keira was also full of concern. Seeing
that Mrs. Olsen looked healthy and was unlikely to fall ill again, Keira finally went
back to the Horton family.
When she arrived at old Mrs. Horton's courtyard, Keira found Nathan, Oliver, and
Jake still standing guard here, and she immediately noticed an additional woman
in the living room.
Oliver was talking intimately with the girl; beside her, the look in Jake's eyes was
almost fiery!

Keira immediately knew that this girl was likely Selena.
She bore a resemblance to Oliver, looking as if she
could be Jake's sister.
Oliver was complaining. “...I heard that Isla has been sent to a psychiatric
hospital, and I don’t know if there is still a way to sign the divorce agreement.
Your brother's marriage has completely disgraced our family!”
Selena was laughing and comforting him. “Dad, you
can file for divorce now. Her mental illness is a premarital concealment of facts.
As long as you sue, the court generally grants the divorce, don’t worry. Besides,
Jake is the legitimate eldest grandson of our Horton family. How could he marry a
woman from such a minor household?”
Oliver immediately said, “Who in Oceanion could compare to our Horton family?”
Selena laughed. “When I marry into the Cobb family in Clance, I'll keep an eye
out for Jake.”
Jake immediately looked at her, saying coldly, “Don’t
bother!”

Jake. “Ungrateful creature, how can you speak to your sister like that? She's so
concerned about you, and yet you show her no respect!”
Jake wanted to speak, but Selena had already patted Oliver's chest. “Dad, don't
be angry. Jake is young and doesn't understand, I won't hold it against him...”
Oliver immediately nodded. “Selena, you're so sensible. I've already discussed it
with your grandfather. When you come back this time, you'll stay with the Horton
family!"
Smiling, Selena tactfully declined. “Forget it, Dad. It's not suitable for me to stay
at home... Moreover, Jake doesn't want to see me, and I don’t want to have
conflicts with him.”
Jake was slightly stunned when he heard this.
Oliver said, “You are my daughter, how is it not suitable? If Jake dares to
disrespect you, I'll be the fir to not forgive him!”
Keira wasn't interested in these matters of the first
branch of the family, and she headed straight to old Mrs. Horton's bedroom,
wanting to see how the old lady was doing.

Unexpectedly, Selena changed her tune and directly targeted her. “Actually, I
have an idea that could avoid conflicts with Jake, but I'm not sure if you, Aunt
Keira, would agree.”
Keira was perplexed.
She paused slightly in her steps and turned her head to
look at Selena with a frown.
Selena was around twenty-six and older than Keira, but she called her “Aunt
Keira” without any hesitation.
She looked at Keira with a smile. “I was thinking of moving into Great-grandma’s
courtyard to help take care of her more easily. I wonder, Aunt Keira, do you
think I can do that?”
As soon as these words came out, Oliver immediately glanced at Nathan, then
smiled and said, “Your Uncle Lewis also lives here, and as a woman, it might not
be convenient for you, right?”
Selena sighed, “True, Uncle Lewis is about my age, and — he and Aunt Keira are
newlyweds... So what should I
do?”
Almost immediately after these words fell, Nathan
looked at Vaira “Vou nook un Vou and I aurig will move

to the main house, and let Selena take over this
courtyard.”
Keira’'s gaze instantly sharpened.
She immediately looked at Selena and suddenly understood what the first branch
of the Horton family
was thinking.
Old Mrs. Horton was suffering from dementia, her mind foggy one moment and
clear the next. If Selena was in charge of this small courtyard, who was to say
she wouldn't trick the old Mrs. Horton into signing over her shares without Keira
or Lewis's knowledge?
Selena indeed had more cunning methods than Jake.
Keira didn't trust leaving Old Mrs. Horton in the care of such a scheming woman,
so she said, “Sorry, I don't
think so.”
Nathan frowned and, gripping his teacup, hurled it straight at Keira. “Who allowed
you to speak to me like
that?!”
Keira dodged, and the teacup whizzed past her, then smashed on the ground
behind her.
Nathan pointed at her and shouted angrily, “Coming

from a humble background, you really lack any
manners! Your grandmother was gravely ill and yet you didn’t come home all
night! Do you have any concern for the elderly in your heart? I was not
discussing with you just now, I was giving you an order! Pack your things right
now and move to the main house! From now on, Selena will be solely in charge
of this courtyard!”
Keira frowned but did not move.
Oliver immediately scowled and said angrily, “Keira, how dare you disobey Dad's
orders?! In this household, the man is the head!”
Selena hesitantly said, “Aunt Keira, old Mrs. Horton is my family too. You don't
think I'm incapable of taking good care of her, do you?”
Oliver immediately sneered. “What right does she have to doubt you? You're the
one who secured such an important clinical trial slot for Grandma. You're now the
biggest contributor in this household!”
Selena waved her hand. “Dad, don't talk about
contributors or non-contributors. I'm just being a good daughter.”

Then she looked earnestly at Keira. “Aunt Keira, it's not that I insist on living
here, but I have no choice. Since Great-grandma is using a drug that's not on the
market, the Clance laboratory needs to send someone to take samples from her
because they need the follow-up observation data.
“They agreed to this only because of the Cobb family’s influence. When they
arrive, they need to observe old
Mrs. Horton's reactions at all times, which means they must stay in this
courtyard. It's inconvenient for you and Uncle Lewis to stay. After all, they're my
friends,
and it'll be better for me to host them! You and Uncle
Lewis would understand, right?”
Keira looked at her and scoffed. “The Clance
laboratory would never allow for a situation where slots are given based on
connections. You sure do think highly of yourself!”
Last night, people in Clance sent her the list of applicants, and she was still in the
selection phase; there was no way Selena could have truly invited
anyone over.
But at these words, Oliver became angry. “Keira, what do you know? Selena’s

Oliver sighed, “This reminds me of a story about ancient peasants chatting in the
field, speculating what life was like for the emperor. Guess what they said?”
Selena played along. “What did they say?”
“They said, the emperor must use a golden hoe to farm, and he probably eats
nothing but finest white rice. He'd eat one bowl and toss another...”
After saying this, Oliver looked mockingly at Keira. “Lewis's wife, you understand
nothing. Better not to embarrass yourself further here!”
Keira felt the ridicule.
Did these wealthy capitalists truly believe that money gave them the right to do
whatever they wanted?
