Dr. South?
Keira thought, “Why didn’t I know that I was to recruit Isla?”
Professor Miller also exclaimed, “You know Dr. South?”
Isla gave a slight smile, “It’s such a coincidence. My mom helped Dr. South get
through school back in the day, so after Dr. South succeeded, he found my family
and said that my mom was his lifesaver. For the past few years, he has been
providing technical support to our company. He wouldn’t refuse any of my
requests.”
Keira raised her eyebrows slightly.
When she was young in the Olsen family, she relied on Mrs. Olsen’s care to grow
up.
Therefore, after she had her own career, she contacted Mrs. Olsen under the
name “Dr. South” and invented that story so that she could have a reason to
repay Mrs. Olsen’s kindness.
For the past few years, she had been helping Mrs. Olsen’s companies with any
technical issues for free.
But when did she become so compliant with Isla’s requests?
That was such an exaggeration.
However, Professor Miller believed Isla. “Where is Dr. South teaching now?”
Isla replied, “I promised the dean that I would invite Dr. South to teach at our
university.”
“That’s great!” Professor Miller was overjoyed and looked at Keira. “Keira, your
research direction is the same as Dr. South’s. When the time comes, I’ll introduce
you to him. If Dr. South is willing to speak for you, there might still be hope for
your postgraduate recommendation!”
Isla pretended to be worried. “Professor Miller, are you sure? The Horton family is
the richest family in Oceanion, and they allocate a lot of research funds to our
university every year…”
Professor Miller didn’t take this seriously. “Dr. South is in high demand now. I
heard that foreign universities like Heddon University and Oxford have all sent
him invitations, and many businesses want to invest in him. If Dr. South is willing
to step up, the university will definitely choose Dr. South!”
Isla feigned a sigh. “But Dr. South is doing this for my mother’s sake. If it were for
me, he would definitely help us, but Keira is my father’s illegitimate daughter and
stands in opposition to my mom… Keira, should I ask Dr. South for you?”
Keira said, “Don’t bother.”
She found Isla like a clown.
Keira smiled slightly and said to Professor Miller, “Professor Miller, don’t bother.
As you know, I never wanted to do postgraduate studies.”
Professor Miller was surprised, and he felt sorry for Keira.
He was the one who discovered Keira’s talent in the major, and with that, he
insisted that she got a postgraduate recommendation. He didn’t expect things to
reach this point.
Tears welled up in his eyes. “Then I’ll write you a job reference.”
Poppy sneered. “Don’t waste your efforts. She offended Mr. Horton, and she still
wants to find a job in Oceanion? She must be dreaming.”
Professor Miller was indignant. “I don’t believe that anyone can really do
whatever they want in Oceanion! If you really can’t find a job, come and be my
teaching assistant! I’ll hire you!”
A warm feeling surged in Keira’s chest. She explained, “Professor, there’s just a
misunderstanding between me and Mr. Horton. Everything will be fine after we
clear that up. You don’t need to worry.”
Professor Miller sighed. “If you can clear up the misunderstanding, come back
and be my student again.”
Keira looked at the ardent expectation on her teacher’s eyes and spoke softly,
“Sure. I’ll come back.”
It would be nice to be a tutor at the University of Oceanion.
However, Isla clenched her fists.
She didn’t understand. She was an excellent student, but why did Professor
Miller only value Keira, who was just an average student?!
Was this old man also mesmerized by Keira’s pretty face?
Isla was furious, but she glanced at Poppy, then suddenly said, “Keira, are you
going to bother Mr. Horton again? He’s already married. It’s not right for you to do
this…”
Poppy was indeed consumed by anger.
Smack!
The sound of a slap echoed in the office.
Keira’’s cheek was stinging, she couldn’t believe that Poppy would suddenly slap
her in front of Professor Miller!
Poppy showed no guilt at all. She pointed at Keira’s nose and cursed. “You
ungrateful wretch! After a few years, I see you’ve forgotten the rules of the house!
Apologize to your sister right now! Promise that you’ll never see the Hortons
again!”
The warmth in Keira’s eyes slowly faded, leaving only coldness.
It seemed that Poppy didn’t take her seriously when she talked about “the last
time” the other day. She still treated Keira as the ignorant girl who used to obey
everything and respected Isla.
Keira thought, “If she can’t be reasoned with, don’t blame me for being
ruthless…”
Isla was watching from the side, and a sense of satisfaction arose from the
bottom of her heart.
When they were little, Keira would cringe in front of her. She never retaliated
when scolded or fought back when beaten.
After Keira moved out, they met again in college. Keira still looked poor, but she
was no longer obedient.
Isla thought, “It seems that she hasn’t been beaten for years and has forgotten
her place!
Let Poppy teach her a lesson today.”
Isla was still thinking about this when she saw Keira slowly come over to her,
presumably to apologize.
Isla smiled, but something unexpected happened at the next moment!
Keira suddenly raised her head and slapped each of Isla’s cheeks in turn.
Smack! Smack!
Isla was stunned and befuddled by the sudden assault.
Poppy yelled and rushed over. “Keira Olsen, how dare you!”
Keira suddenly turned around!
Her eyes were filled with a chilling look. She looked like a demon who had
crawled up from hell, exuding an aura of bloodthirst!

Having said this, she turned around without hesitation and left.

Isla touched her swollen cheeks, her body trembling with anger, but she calmly
asked, “Where did she get the courage to do this?”
Poppy was stunned, “Does Mr. Horton really take a liking to her? That’s
impossible. She’s married. How can Mr. Horton like damaged goods…”
Isla felt the same.
But thinking about Keira’s enchantingly beautiful face, Isla suddenly felt unsure…
Professor Miller was shocked by everything that had happened.
He looked at Poppy incredulously. When he heard her foul language, he couldn’t
help but wonder,
“Is she really Keira’s mother, not Isla’s?”
He didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but Professor Miller suddenly felt that
the two women in front of him looked somewhat alike…

Just as Keira walked out of the school gate, Samuel called.
