Ellis was perplexed by the request. "What DNA test are we talking about?"
Uncle Olsen sighed. "She looks so much like your grandma, like a younger version of her."
Ellis felt it was far-fetched. "There are plenty of people in the world who look alike, and just because someone bears a resemblance, you want a DNA test?"
Uncle Olsen frowned at him.
Ellis immediately nodded. "Fine, I'll do it, okay?"
Keera really had no friends!
During the days Keira spent with the South family, not a single person took the initiative to contact Keera, leaving her clueless about how to get in touch with South family members.
Then she had an accidental breakthrough.
Keira's phone suddenly rang with an incoming call, displaying an unfamiliar number.

She let it ring twice before picking it up.
There was no immediate response from the other end.
Keira paused, then slowly said, "Hello, who is this?"
At her words, she could hear the person's breathing grow heavier, followed by a chilly, petulant voice. "You deleted my number?"
Keira immediately frowned. "Who are you?"
"...I haven't been in touch with you for half a year, and now you can't recognize my voice? Keera, you really are something!"
".." Keira's mouth twitched.
That was that.
The woman sounded like she had a close relationsh with Keera, but Keira had no idea about Keera's circl
of friends.
But from the woman's tone, it seemed Keera had
deleted her number. Did that mean they had had a falling out?
After thinking it over for a moment, Keira's lips curled into a smile. "Did you call me because you needed

something?"
With that question, the person on the other end rattled off the details of their relationship.
"Keera! Don't go too far! Do you really think I can't live without you as my best friend? If it wasn't for seeing Howard flaunting that mistress of his around town, I wouldn't even bother talking with you!
"I know, ever since you got married, Howard has been complaining about me being too harsh on him, and he has said plenty of nasty things about me to you! He even pressured you to cut ties with me.
"Since you chose him over our friendship, just cons this call as me coming to laugh at your misfortune!
"Heh, you deleted my contact for that man, and you disliked my outspokenness because it didn't honor him. Now what? He's out there enjoying himself, and you're just a housewife at home!"
Keira was perplexed.
After the woman finished, she remained silent for a short while before asking, "Anything else?"
The woman's breathing quickened again, and she was

clearly agitated. "Didn't you hear me? He's keeping a mistress! I've taken photos and recorded videos! When I told you he was cheating last time, you didn't believe me and blocked me. Now I have proof!"
"Oh, I see."
Keira's response left the woman speechless. "Just 'I see'? Do you still not believe me? Fine, if you don't trust me, that's it then! So much for the years of our friendship-it's like you've become blind!"
Keira caught on.
Although she didn't know who this person was, she could tell that she was genuinely concerned about Keera, calling not to mock her but to warn her.
She lowered her gaze and said suddenly, "Let's meet
up!"
"I knew you wouldn't believe me. Fine, let's meet. I'm coming to your place right
now!"
After that, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Keira rubbed her chin.
From the implication in the other person's words, the

two should have been close friends for a long time. Could she know some
secrets about Keera?
But in less than half an hour, the doorbell rang.
Keira went to open the door, expecting to see her close friend, but to her
surprise, she was met by a young man in a suit.
Upon seeing Keira, he immediately smiled. "Miss South, I'm from the property management office. You haven't paid your property fee for this month, and the manager asked me to come to remind you. Moreover, if you pay the property fee for all six months in advance, we can offer you a 10% discount."
Keira frowned.
She hadn't retrieved the company and savings fr Howard yet and hadn't asked Samuel for money so she simply said, "That won't be necessary. I'll jus pay the
fee for this month."
She took out the one thousand dollars that Howard
gave her and was about to pay the property fee when the man said, "Miss South, it's the end of the year, and we need to show performance. Other residents have already paid for half a year. Could you also pay in

advance? Please don't make it difficult for us..."
Keira raised an eyebrow. "How much property fee to pay is my right, and whether
or not to pay in advance is also my choice. Is it mandatory for our property fees
to be paid semi-annually?"
The man smiled. "Nope, but there is a 10% discount for paying six months in
advance, and you aren't short of
money..."
Keira found it amusing. "I am actually short of that
money."
The smile gradually faded from the man's face as he glanced into the room.
"Miss South, don't take it wrong way for me being nosy, but as dignified pe you quibble over such small amounts, hardly show the demeanor of a wealthy wife. No wonder your husband is always out all night..."
A sharp light burst from Keira's eyes and just as she was about to say something,
a fierce voice suddenly intervened. "Where did this stray dog come from, daring to bark at the owner's doorstep!"
Keira turned around and saw a well-dressed woman standing there.

She wore a Chanel coat and stood beside a luxury car equipped with a driver,
clearly from a privileged background.
She walked over and sneered at the property management staff. "What's your
staff number? How dare you speak to a resident like this? It's utterly ridiculous.
I'm going to file a complaint to your superiors!" The property staff frowned upon hearing this. "Who are you?"
The woman snorted with laughter, glanced at his badge, took out her phone, and
made a call. "Hey, Luke, Willow Garden's property services ar your family, right?... Yes? Good. A staff mem number 1339 has disrespected my friend. It's
your family to get your rules in order!"

No more than two minutes after she finished the the property staff's phone started to ring. Whate was said on the other end made his expression cha

After hanging up, the staff member quickly looked at the woman, “Miss Davis, I
didn't know Miss South was

your friend. I'm sorry. I went to great lengths to find this job, so please show me
some mercy..."
Mary Davis scoffed, "If you don't get lost, I can make it impossible for you to find a job in Clance!"
The property staff scurried away dejectedly.
It was only then that Mary turned to Keira, her expression showing a mix of
frustration and disappointment. "Keera, you really are something, aren't you? Falling on such hard times that you're scoffed at by a property manager? When you blocked me, didn't you say that without me, your life would be harmonious
and beautiful? Has this half a year witho me been your happy life?!"
Her words were laden with mockery.
But between the lines hung a thread of concern.
Keira remained silent.

But Keera trusted Howard more and, swayed by his
instigation, blocked Mary.
This enraged Mary.
