Keira suddenly looked up, feeling as though she had heard something.
However, Mr. Horton had already waved them off, and the car started, driving off.
By coincidence, the delivery person who was sending the jade ring on behalf of Keira left after eating at the rest area, which delayed him a bit, and he ended up right behind Mr. Horton’s car.
The two cars headed toward Glow Village, one after the other.
The Horton residence.
After Mr. Horton left, old Mrs. Horton’s smile vanished instantly, and she turned to look at Keira with a frown, “Did that brat go to the hospital again?”
Keira paused, smiling, “No, Grandma, you…”
“You don’t need to make excuses for that brat!” Old Mrs. Horton said with a cold laugh. “That brat always values personal relationships more than work. What could possibly be so important that he can’t let it go? This morning, I heard from Fiona that you hurried off with him. Keira, tell me, what kind of trouble is Madeleine stirring up now?”
Keira sighed, “Grandma…”
Old Mrs. Horton was genuinely angry. “Keira, you don’t have to sweet-talk me on his behalf, and you don’t need to play the devoted wife either! When I arranged for you to marry that brat, I didn’t want you to be mistreated, and you certainly don’t need to push your husband toward someone else. I don’t want you to live so stifled!”
She looked at Fiona, “Get the car ready. I’m going to the psychiatric hospital right now to see what tricks that little woman has used!”
But her arm was gripped tightly by Keira. “Grandma…”
Old Mrs. Horton turned to look at her, only to hear Keira say in a low voice, “Madeleine has jumped off a building.”
Even the composed old Mrs. Horton was struck by this news.
She was silent for a long time before she spoke again. “Did she jump? Or is she using this to scare that brat? Let me tell you, some women’s tricks are very…”
“She really jumped.”
Old Mrs. Horton could have immediately sent someone to check on this matter, so Keira simply told the truth. “She almost didn’t make it. She’s still in the ICU.”
Old Mrs. Horton frowned, and she said nothing for a long time. Finally unable to help herself, she asked, “Why would it come to this? Why can’t she move on? Why did it have to come to this?”
Both Keira and old Mrs. Horton were strong individuals.
Therefore, they couldn’t understand Madeleine’s choice.
But Keira didn’t want to speak ill of Madeleine behind her back, so she helped old Mrs. Horton up and walked with her into the yard.
Neither of them saw that just as they entered the door, Oliver came out from around the corner, his eyes shining as he stared at them from behind!
He sneakily went to a secluded spot and called Selena directly, “Selena, you really do have divine foresight! Lewis’s old flame, that little Davis woman, caused a huge scene—she jumped off a building!!”
Expecting to have overheard some significant news from Keira and old Mrs. Horton, Oliver was taken aback when Selena spoke in a casual tone. “Dad, I’ve known about it since yesterday.”
Oliver was stunned, “Huh?”
Selena began to speak. “Yesterday, I had people keep an eye on Madeleine. Right now, my young uncle is with her at the hospital, and what’s more, I’ve bribed a nurse and got hold of the doctors’ chat records!”
Oliver’s eyes immediately lit up. “Then isn’t this a great opportunity for us?!”
Selena nodded, “I’ll send you the evidence right now. You know what to do next, don’t you?”
“I do!”
Oliver was overjoyed!!
He planned to blow this matter up and take it to the court of public opinion!
By then, even if Lewis wished to keep this incident under wraps and continue his relationship with Keira, the pressure from the public would crush him.
Ever since Lewis returned to the country, he had been suppressing Oliver.
Several of his counterattacks had been easily dissolved by Keira.
Although this woman came from a humble background, she was quite capable. If he could get the two to divorce and let Lewis marry that lunatic…
Lewis would have one less ally and one more burden, and Oliver would then have the qualifications to contend with Lewis!
He even considered that perhaps Lewis might never have children!
Entertaining these thoughts, the conversation that Selena had secretly recorded was sent over, maliciously edited, and completely twisted in meaning…
Oliver snickered and then uploaded it to the internet.
Old Mrs. Horton sighed heavily, looking at Keira with guilt. “My dear granddaughter-in-law, I, I…”
She was somewhat at a loss for words, feeling sorry for the brat when speaking up for him and sorry for her granddaughter-in-law at the same time.
But Keira said, “Grandma, you don’t need to say anything. I understand. Don’t worry, this is between Lewis and me. Please have some rest!”
She escorted old Mrs. Horton into the room. As she stepped out again, she received a message from Samuel. “Boss, please take a look at this post. What’s going on?”
After opening the link, Keira saw a recording of doctors talking, but the content was edited to imply something different.
It gave the impression that Lewis had callously abandoned Madeleine because she fell ill and hooked up with Keira instead.
The post was already flooded with negative comments.
Keira scanned through them. Most comments slandered Lewis as a scumbag who was irresponsible and labeled her a homewrecker.
Without delving into the specifics, she simply replied to Samuel, “Suppress the trending topic.”
Samuel soon replied, “Already suppressed. I just checked that Tom was the one who pulled this off, likely under orders from Lewis. Boss, what’s going on with Lewis? He’s still at the hospital with that woman. What now? Does he plan to carry on with that woman?”
Keira frowned.
As she was about to reply, she noticed that Samuel had added her to a group chat that included her, Samuel, Tom, and Lewis.
While Keira was still puzzled, Samuel’s video call came through.
Keira reluctantly picked it up, only to find that no one on Lewis’s end answered.
Tom, however, joined in.
Before Keira could speak, Samuel burst out. “Mr. Davis, you must make your boss explain himself to my boss! Don’t think that just because my boss is easy to talk to, you can brush off this kind of thing! I’m asking you, what exactly is he thinking? Why is he at the hospital with that woman? What’s her relationship to him?”
Tom sighed, “Miss Olsen, please don’t misunderstand my boss—his sense of responsibility is with Madeleine, but his true love is for you!”
Samuel scoffed. “True love? Then how can he watch my boss being vilified as a homewrecker? How can he still be at the hospital at a time like this?”
Tom said, “Miss Davis once saved my boss’s life, so he feels obligated.”
“How did she save his life? Come on, tell me. I want to see what this situation is all about!”
