218 Reunion
God-daughter!
Oliver's forehead was covered in even more cold
sweat.
If Keira had such a powerful patron, what hope would the first branch of the
family have?!
Where on earth did Lewis find such a wife? She was an illegitimate daughter to
begin with, but her status soared all of a sudden!
He looked to Nathan for help.
But he saw Nathan cough and suddenly say, “Send a message to Selena, have
her tidy up old Mrs. Hor “s room a bit, and wait for our distinguished guest
Oliver immediately understood his meaning and quickly took out his phone to
send a message to Selena!
Next, he heard Lewis ask, “Uncle Olsen, are you havin dinner here tonight?”
“No,” Uncle Olsen said. “I heard that there's a famous
private kitchen in Oceanion called Fragrance House,
12:13

and Ellis has booked a spot for me.”
Lewis nodded indifferently and looked toward the courtyard ahead.
He saw the affection that Uncle Olsen had for Mrs. Olsen and was quite touched
by his one-sided protection of Isla at the beginning.
He knew Keira didn't care about these things.
But since Uncle Olsen was, after all, also his half-mentor, Lewis didn't want to put
him in a difficult position.
If he wanted to meet, then let him meet Keira.
A group of people swaggered into old Mrs. Horton's courtyard, and at that
moment, Jake was alone in the living room.
No one paid attention to him as they walked straight to old Mrs. Horton's
bedroom.
When Lewis pushed open the door, Uncle Olsen's gaze immediately darted
inside.
However, he saw only Mr. Lee, a man, and Fiona, a fifty-year-old maid, in the
room. Aside from these two, there was no one else.

Uncle Olsen was slightly stunned and frowned.
Lewis also looked at Fiona with confusion. “Where is
Keira?"
Fiona said, “Just now, Miss Selena said that old Mrs. Horton's medicine was
missing an ingredient, so she took Miss Keira out to buy it!"
Upon hearing this, Oliver let out a huge sigh of relief.
The message he had just sent to Selena wasn't actually about welcoming a
distinguished guest but to have her send Keira away, to prevent Keira from
encountering Uncle Olsen.
After all, this was the Horton residence. If Keira
complained to Uncle Olsen and he were to erupt on the spot, what would he do?!
There was certainly a gap between the Horton family and the Clance Olsen
family, not to mention Uncle Olsen's fame for having influence in both the
underworld and legitimate businesses!
It was better that Keira wasn't here...
He said, “That's really unfortunate...”
Lewis, however scoffed.

Uncle Olsen also narrowed his eyes, looking displeased
as he asked, “They went out to buy medicine. How long until they return?”
Before Fiona could answer, Mr. Lee smiled. “The
medicine I need here is quite a lot, and they likely won't find everything in one
pharmacy, so it'll be a
while...”
Uncle Olsen scoffed coldly but still suppressed his
anger.
He glanced at old Mrs. Horton, exchanged a few words with Lewis, and without
staying any longer, got into his car and left. “To Fragrance House.”
Meanwhile, Keira had been suddenly grabbed by arm by Selena and taken out
through the back d then led around to various pharmacies to pick up
medicine.
By the time they reached the third pharmacy, Keira said casually, “Uncle Olsen
has already left, can we go
back now?”
Selena stiffened slightly. “Aunt Keira, what are you
talking about? I don’t understand
12:13

Keira scoffed. “That suitcase of yours, it's bigger than
Isla’s, isn't it?"
Selena was startled, “What?”
“You can fit more bullshit in it than she does!”
Selena, unbothered by the scolding, still smiled warmly. “Auntie, I really am
looking for medicine for Great-grandma. If you don’t want to stay with me, just
leave; I can go by myself.”
Keira, not wanting to waste more words, turned and left the pharmacy.
She checked the time, hailed a taxi by the roadside, and went to Fragrance
House.
Emboldened by the medicine she obtained through M Lee's theft, Selena was
doing as she pleased within the Horton family; Keira knew she had to suppress
Selena’s arrogance.
However, the most urgent matter was to find out
whether Corey Mills was in any way connected to Lee's theft of the medicine.
If Dean Mills was involved. he could forget about

retaining his position!
With these thoughts, Keira arrived at Fragrance House.
As soon as she entered, she saw Corey Mills sitting idly at a dining table outside,
waiting for her.
Keira walked straight up to him.
Corey Mills was about forty years old, and his lengthy research career had left
his skin somewhat pale; he was on the heavier side, which made him appear
slightly younger.
Mills stood up with a smile, “Director Nora, you've finally arrived!”
Keira sat down opposite him.
Mills then handed her a box of medicine. “This is the
medicine you asked for.”
He also took out a printed document and handed it to
her.
It listed all the cases that their institute had received to be selected, with each
person's basic health condition clearly documented.

Mills said, “These are the individuals who meet our screening criteria; you can
decide on the candidates.”
Keira looked at him. “Dean Mills, is there a researcher
named Lee at the Clance Research Institute?”
Mills was caught off guard. “There are several people with that name, may I ask
which one you are referring
to?”
Keira fixed her gaze on him. “The one related to the Cobb family.”
Mills’ eyes were honest, showing no sign of lying. “Oh, you mean Logan Lee. He
has been busy at the institute recently and just took ten days of annual leave!”
Seeing that he was completely unaware of the
situation, Keira scoffed. “Then are you aware that he
now in Oceanion?”
Mills was shocked. “What? He's in Oceanion? Is he here
on vacation? I really didn’t know about this...”
Realizing something was off, he asked, “Director Nora, has something
happened?”

Mills stood up abruptly. “How is that possible?! The slots haven't been made
available to the public yet;
where did he get one?!”
Keira looked at him, remaining silent.

Having said that, he didn't even dare to stay for the meal and hurried off to
investigate the matter.
Keira sat there leisurely.
Since she was here, she might as well stay for a meal before leaving.
Her seat was facing the entrance of the restaurant, so she ate while enjoying the
view outside.
Suddenly, a black luxury car pulled up in front of the
door.
An instant later, a man in a black cape strode in.
Keira looked at him curiously.
The man exuded a stern air, appearing to be in his

handsome!
Keira found him quite pleasing to the eye, so she took a longer look.
