Keira’s eyes were cold and sharp. The smirk at the corner of her mouth was devilishly enticing, carrying a wild vibe.
A sense of alienation from the world engulfed her.
The truth was, she never really felt she belonged to this world.
When she was little, Isla had her classmates isolate and bully her. After leaving the Olsen family, she kept to herself over the years, making few friends.
The opinions and views of others were irrelevant to her.
She wasn’t afraid of the invectives on the internet, nor did she fear the real-life reproaches. The words of the journalists and Poppy hadn’t perturbed her at all.
So even if she threw a punch and hit someone, which caused her name to trend online, she wouldn’t care!
With that thought, she took a step forward. The aura of defiance around her suddenly intensified!
The journalists immediately hoisted up their cameras, ready to capture the moment she initiated an attack. Once that happened, she would become the target of public outrage!
But just then!
A deep voice filled with sternness rang out suddenly. “Stop!”
Surprised, Keira looked downstairs to see a tall figure striding toward them.
Lewis dressed in a tailored suit and was angry when he saw the scene. He waved his hand, and the bodyguards behind him surged forward, isolating Keira and the journalists and filling the narrow staircase.
The bodyguards emitted an intimidating aura, and their fierce appearance intimidated the journalists and Poppy.
Josh swallowed nervously. “Mr. Horton, what’s going on?”
Lewis’s eyes were dark. “I suspect that you’re illegally infringing on Miss
Olsen’s freedom!’
Josh quickly defended himself. “We are just doing a normal interview…” His voice lacked conviction even as he spoke.
“Normal?” Lewis scoffed. “You can discuss that with my legal team.”
Having said that, he walked over to Keira, picked up her suitcase with one hand while grabbing her wrist with the other, and led her down the stairs.
This time, no one dared to obstruct them.
As Keira followed him down and out of the building, the sunlight showered upon her, sweeping away the gloom in her chest.
She looked up at the blinding sunlight, her expression cold and her voice indifferent. “You shouldn’t have come. Those journalists couldn’t have cornered me.”
Lewis replied, “If you hit someone, you’ll be criticized.”
“I’m not afraid of being criticized.”
“But you shouldn’t be criticized.”
Keira was taken aback.
She had become accustomed to being criticized and being incompatible with others. She was used to putting up a prickly defense. She never thought she’d hear such words one day.
The coldness around her gradually faded, and the alienation in her eyes slowly vanished.
Suddenly, she let out a soft chuckle.
Lewis asked, “What are you laughing at?”
“I’m just thinking how miserable Connor must be right now.”
Keira looked up and was back to her old self again. “He’s probably on the verge of collapsing…”
If Connor couldn’t hang in there and go to Isla, the two of them would fall out. Keira could then produce evidence of Connor being the murderer. Once he was arrested, he would expose the secret that Finley took to his grave…
As they talked, they came to Lewis’s Bentley. As the car door opened, Keira immediately noticed that old Mrs. Horton was inside.
Old Mrs. Horton’s gaze fell upon their still holding hands… Her eyes lit up.
“Well done, my boy!”
Keira had just realized that they were holding hands.
She instantly withdrew her hand, finding the spot where he’d gripped her wrist was hot.
To change the subject from the old lady’s amused expression, she asked,
“Grandma, what are you doing here?”
Old Mrs. Horton promptly replied, “Of course, I came to pick up my granddaughter-in-law and take her home!”
“Home?”
“Yes!” Mrs. Horton seemed hopeful. “I’m sick of the hospital. My dear, since you can’t stay here anymore, why not come home with me?”
Just as Keira was about to refuse, old Mrs. Horton said, “If you don’t come home with me, I’ll just continue to stay in the hospital.”
Old Mrs. Horton’s illness had long vanished. She had been pretending to be sick just to make Lewis and Keira stay by her side and spend more time together.
Lewis also said, “Miss Olsen, these reporters can be pretty persistent. Only the Horton family can ensure your safety. Please come stay with us for the time being..”
