Keira clenched her jaw, feeling utterly anxious.
Just as she was about to leave, Mrs. Olsen sent her a WhatsApp message.
“There’s no rush. Are you working this Saturday? I’d like to buy you lunch.”
Only then did Keira understand that her concern had made her anxious.
Lunch at the Olsen’s?
A bitter smile crept onto her lips.
Ten years ago, when she moved out of the Olsen residence, she went back the
first weekend.
She entered the backyard and watched through the glass window as Mrs. Olsen,
Isla, and Taylor Olsen laughed and chatted. The joyous smile on Mrs. Olsen’s
face was one she’d never seen before.
Poppy said, “Do you see that? Without you around, they are a real family of
three. If you really care about Mrs. Olsen, you shouldn’t stay away from her.”
Eventually, Keira left quietly.
She only returned on Mrs. Olsen’s birthday each year, leaving a small gift at the
doorstep…
After so many years, it was probably time to see her again, right?
Keira responded to the message. “I should be the one buying. Let’s meet this
Saturday at 6 pm. See you there.”
She sent over the location of a restaurant.
Visiting the Olsen house could cause unnecessary disputes. It would be better to
meet outside, where she could have a quiet chat with Mrs. Olsen, and check on
her health…
Mrs. Olsen said, “Alright, see you then.”
After ending the chat with Mrs. Olsen, Keira saw several new messages from
“Grandson”.
“As my grandmother ages, she’s becoming more like a child with a hot
temperament. You need a lot of patience.
“She has trouble sleeping. Her nights are restless.
“She needs to take two blue pills a day, one in the morning and one at night…”
There were five messages in total, the last one read,
“The above is forwarded from our family doctor’s instructions. I’m grateful for your
help. If Granny doesn’t feel well, please contact me immediately.”
Upon reading this, Keira quietly entered the bedroom and sent a short video to
“Grandson”.

Not far down the street, two vehicles were parked discreetly.
The first minivan was fully equipped and looked like a small suite.
Lewis was dressed in a black suit and was sitting on the couch, working on his
computer.
Old Mrs. Horton’s family doctor sat in the corner, his face stern, ready for any
emergencies.
Changing her environment could disrupt old Mrs. Horton’s sleep, which was
crucial for her frail body.
Even slight negligence could risk her life.
The car at the back was loaded with emergency equipment, ready to leap into
action if something happened, as they were close to Mrs. Horton’s location.
Lewis was lost in these thoughts when his phone buzzed with a new WhatsApp
message.
Upon checking it, his usually impassive face looked a little surprised.
The family doctor immediately asked, “Did something happen to Mrs. Horton?”
Lewis pressed his lips together and showed him the video.
It depicted old Mrs. Horton sleeping soundly in a bed with a floral sheet. She was
even snoring a little!
It was only nine o’clock in the evening!
Usually, they would be grateful if Mrs. Horton could fall asleep before one in the
morning!
The family doctor looked astonished, “Mrs. Horton behaves differently around this
young lady. If she can always stay with Mrs. Horton, I believe Mrs. Horton’s
health will significantly improve!”
Having reached an advanced age, Mrs. Horton was physically weak, and sleep
was a top priority.
Lewis clenched his jaw, his eyes brooding.
The next day.
Before setting out, Keira bid the old lady, who looked well-rested after a long
night of sleep, farewell. “I’ve asked Samuel to keep you company. He’ll be here
soon.”
“Okay.” The little old lady nodded obediently. “Granddaughter-in-law, where are
you going?”
“To meet someone.”
“Who are you going to meet? Do you have to go?”
gYes
If she didn’t go to see Lewis Horton now, he would find out about their marriage
when he goes to register his own marriage.
But her company was waiting to go public, and Keira urgently needed the
divorce.
With a dramatic wave of her hand, the little old lady proclaimed, “Then I’ll have
my grandson help you schedule a meeting! My grandson has a great deal of
influence!”
Keira smiled, “Granny, I’m afraid your grandson won’t do.”
The Horton family was the wealthiest in Oceanion. Even though Granny’s family
was well-off, could they possibly be wealthier than the Hortons?
She rode her electric bike to the Horton Group.
Lewis’s schedule was quite monotonous. He was either working or commuting
with no leisure time at all.
Before Keira could say anything at the front desk, the receptionist said, “It’s you
again! Mr. Davis has made it clear. Mr. Horton isn’t expecting any parcels today.
you’re not allowed upstairs!”
Keira replied, “I’m not here to deliver a parcel, I’m…”
The receptionist interrupted her impatiently, “Then do you have an appointment?
Without one, you can’t go up!”
As Keira was about to reply, she saw the receptionist’s eyes light up. Her
impatient expression vanished instantly as she warmly greeted the person
behind Keira, “Miss Olsen? You’re here!”
Frowning, Keira turned around to see Isla.
With a gracious and composed demeanor, Isla gave the receptionist a gentle
smile, “I’m here to see Jake.”
Her gaze swept over Keira as she added, “But I forgot to make an
appointment…”
“Miss Olsen, what are you talking about? With your stature, when have you ever
needed an appointment? Mr. Jake would be overjoyed to see you!”
The receptionist swiped her card to unlock the entrance, “Please come in.”

Keira was perplexed.
When had she ever made things difficult for the receptionist?
However, the young lady at the receptionist’s desk frowned.
Mr. Davis merely said not to let this woman go upstairs but didn’t mention the
reason why.
Was it because of that?

Meanwhile, upstairs.
After finishing an urgent document, Lewis picked up his phone and looked at the
message from the “Need Iron” at the top of his chat list.
It was the woman’s weird nickname on WhatsApp.
He sent a message. “Hello, how is Granny today?”
She replied quickly. “Everything was fine when I left the house.”
Lewis frowned: [Did you go to work?]
“Iron Deficient Element”: [You could say that.]
Lewis looked displeased. She had left Granny alone at home?
But since she wasn’t his hired caregiver, he had no right to dictate that she only
take care of his grandmother and not go anywhere else.
Currently, he was the one who needed her help…
Lewis thought for a moment. “Where are you now? I want to meet you and talk to
you about Granny.”
“Need Iron” didn’t refuse and directly sent an address on WhatsApp.
Upon seeing it, Lewis’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Wasn’t it the address of the Horton Group’s main entrance?
He got up and headed downstairs.
