Keira was slightly startled.

The people around were also confused, discussing among themselves. “What's this? What's going on?” Keira

took the opportunity to observe the crowd.

Everyone looked bewildered, not understanding what this meant.

In the crowd, only two people remained calm, their eyes even betraying a hint of excitement.

It was Jake and Isla.

What were the two of them up to?

Just as Keira had this thought, the curtain fell, and with a “click,” the projector was turned on, and a photo was

projected onto the screen!

Keira’s pupils constricted.

The photo was the one that had been surreptitiously taken of her and Lewis previously.

Both were dressed normally, only they were lying on the sofa, heads close together, looking from afar like

they were kissing...

The photo was actually quite innocent, showing nothing explicit, but their gazes seemed to melt together, and

being so close made Keira suddenly

think of that night... She felt her cheeks flush, then she frowned.

The scene then exploded into an uproar!

Rebecca couldn't believe it as she turned her head to look at Keira.

Erin stepped out from among the classmates, mocking them with a laugh. “Keep making excuses. Just now you

were still saying that there was nothing between Keira and Mr. Horton, weren't you? Not talking now, are you?”

Rebecca stammered, “...It must be edited, yes, there must be a misunderstanding Miss Keira couldn't possibly

be this kind of person!”

Although she didn’t know how to explain it, she firmly believed in Keira.

A slight smile tugged at the corners of Keira’s lips.

Erin scoffed, “Edited photos all have traces. This

screen is so big, and the photo spreads so naturally.

Anyone who isn’t blind can see it’s real. How could you stand there and lie through your teeth?”

The people around started to talk.

“Right, and her own mother cout to say so. Now there are photos as evidence too, proving that this affair is

real...”

“Speople are really shameless, fawning over dementia-stricken old Mrs. Horton, thinking they can enter the

elite by becoming a rich lady?”

“Oh my God, isn’t this too sensational? Is Mr. Horton really treating his wife fairly with such actions?”

“Haven't you heard? This Keira is married too, both are engaging in extramarital affairs...”

Amidst the accusations of the crowd, Mrs. Olsen and Taylor also stepped forward.

Seeing the content on the screen, Mrs. Olsen’s pupils shrank, and she instinctively looked toward Isla, shouting

urgently, “Take it down now!”

It seemed that no one from the Horton family had

considered minimizing the damage. Instead, it was

Mrs. Olsen, whose reminder brought everyone back to

their senses.

A butler wanted to take action but was stopped by Jake. “Many reporters have snuck in. It's already too

late to take it down. I think the best course of action is

to have Uncle give everyone a reasonable explanation!”

Upon hearing this, the executives from the Horton Group who were following Jake started to speak.

“Yes, yes, what is going on, Mr. Horton? His image affects the company; how can he be so reckless?!”

“Wasn't it this young girl who started her internship at the company stago? How did she end up

entering our hwith such ease?”

“It’s over. Sbusybody has already sent out the situation here, and the heat is rising now!”

“Where's the PR department? Hurry up and contact them. This matter concerns the entire Horton Group's

shares. We must not allow it to impact us too greatly! Otherwise, when the market opens tomorrow, the

stock price is sure to plummet!”

“We can’t control the heat. | don’t know what's

happening, but it seems like someone is secretly pushing it, and the heat has soared!”

Today was old Mrs. Horton's birthday celebration, which was grand and imposing. It wasn’t only attended by

relatives and friends but also regular business partners. Most of the Horton Group's executives were here as well.

At this moment, everyone has gathered together, discussing the issue eagerly.

While the Horton Group's executives were discussing, Poppy had already approached Keira, grabbed her hand,

and looked at Madeleine. “Mrs. Horton, do you see? This is the evidence that my daughter slept with Mr. Horton!

Now you can’t refute it, can you? You must give her an explanation today!”

Madeleine's eyes becteary, and she looked around in a panic and at a loss.

Isla angrily questioned Keira “Keira, this is the eighty-sixth birthday celebration of our

great-grandmother; don’t go too far! She has been so

good to you. If you have any conscience, take your mom and leave immediately!”

Jake also said, “Right, now that the matter has blown up this much, it’s better if you leave quickly! Stop

embarrassing yourself here! And stop causing trouble for my uncle!”

But Poppy strained her neck and shouted, “Why should you drive us away?”

She turned her gaze to Mrs. Olsen and Taylor, malice flashing in her eyes, and headed straight for them. “Mrs.

Olsen, please help! Back then, you kindly tookand Keira in. You can persuade Mrs. Horton now... After all,

Keira was raised by you. You can’t just watch her being wronged...”

Her words made everyone turn toward Mrs. Olsen.

The heirs of wealthy families all had one or two mistresses outside.

Their legitimate wives at hsurely looked down on them, and Mrs. Olsen’s actions were clearly

incomprehensible to them, even instigating hostility.

If every family allowed mistresses with children to enter their doors how could they ensure their own

interests?

Therefore, they accused her in unison.

“That's her, the one who let the mistress into the

house. I've never seen such a foolish woman!”

“Isn't she too weak? | heard her husband disagreed at first, but she becsoft-hearted upon seeing the

mistress pregnant with a child... What a fake saint!”

“Mrs. Olsen, the kind of person | hate the most is you. You pretend to be magnanimous by accepting people in.

What era is this? Are you pretending to be

virtuous?”

“Haven't you heard? Keira was raised by her. If she

turns out like this, it shows she didn’t educate her well- from the start. She’s using the ancient ways of spoiling

Keira by indulgence in the modern world!”

“Such deep scheming. | heard she’s from Clance.

People there are best at these kinds of struggles, right? How disgusting!”

The accusations turned Mrs. Olsen’s face white, and she staggered as if she might collapse.

“Shirley!”

Taylor held her in a hurry.

Keira, seeing this, stepped forward anxiously, wanting to check on her condition...

But she was pushed away by Taylor. “Stay away from Shirley! If it weren't for you, how could Shirley possibly be

insulted like this?”

Keira clenched her fists.

Just then, Lewis, having changed his clothes, finally cdownstairs!
