Rebecca's words made Mr. and Mrs. Allen pause.
“Rebecca, this isn’t tfor tantrums...”

But Rebecca spoke up. “She savedwhen | was near death. Now that she’s in trouble, how can | leave? The
medical facilities in Oceanion are quite good. I'll stay in this hospital until Miss Olsen is safe.”
Mr. and Mrs. Allen looked at each other. “What Miss Olsen really killed that person?”
Rebecca's eyes turned red. “Then I'll wait. Miss Olsen doesn’t have much family or friends, and I'll see her every
visitation day! It would be so heartbreaking if everyone else has visitors and only she doesn’t.”
Mr. Allen couldn't help but chuckle. “You're going to stay here forever?”
Rebecca lowered her head and fell silent, looking like the spoiled young lady she was again.
Frankie looked at her and felt somewhat relieved.
Ever since Rebecca’s husband and mother-in-law betrayed her, she had lost a lot of confidence. Now

that she was throwing tantrums again, it meant she was getting better.
He pondered for a moment and then sighed. “There are still matters in the company that need my
attention in Clance. I'll head back first. Mom, Dad, please stay with Rebecca in Oceanion for her recovery. It’s like
taking a vacation here.”
Mr. Allen said in resignation, “Fine.”
Isla didn’t leave with Mrs. Olsen and Mr. Olsen but
stayed in the hospital.
When she arrived at old Mrs. Horton's room, she found
the old lady humming a tune while watching a with her reading glasses on.
After knocking on the door, she walked in.
Seeing her, old Mrs. Horton seemed displeased. “Why are you here?”
Isla smiled. “Mrs. Horton, | cto tell you something...”
Old Mrs. Horton waved her hand dismissively. “I don’t want to hear you speak. Go away.”

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward, ready to grab Isla.
Isla immediately shouted, “Mrs. Horton, Keira is in trouble!”
Old Mrs. Horton paused, lowered her head, and shot a glance at her. “What did you say? What happened to my

Isla was taken aback. “What granddaughter-in-law?”
“Keira! What happened to her?”
Without thinking too much about it, Isla assumed that old Mrs. Horton's dementia was acting up again, so she
continued. “She killed someone and was arrested. She
was locked up in the police station last night and released on bail today. The news has already reported
1. Didn't you see it?”
The news...
Old Mrs. Horton immediately whipped out her phone and saw the trending news: #Rich Second Generation
Paying for A Life#
She clicked into it and saw the interview by Josh the journalist.

Though Keira and Connor's faces were blurred, anyone familiar with them could recognize them at a glance.
Old Mrs. Horton stared at the news report in shock. The entire social media was filled with criticism.
“You must reveal who this rich second generation is! She must face justice!”
“My God, if it wasn’t for the journalist who broke the news, would the deceased have died in vain? His son even
signed a letter of understanding for money...”

“Murder for life! These words are applicable in any
era!”
“Please reveal which family she comes from. We'll never support anything from their family again! What the hell
is this rich second generation, using our money to bully the poor?”
The more Old Mrs. Horton read, the more shocked she
was.
Seeing her expression, Isla quickly added, “Mrs.

Horton, Keira’s reputation is now thoroughly tarnished. Shouldn't you keep your distance from her to avoid
affecting the Horton Group?”
Isla’s eyes gleamed with fierce light.
Wasn't Keira so arrogant and magnificent because she was backed by old Mrs. Horton's love?
If she lost old Mrs. Horton's favor, what would she be?
Upon hearing these words, old Mrs. Horton indeed looked at her. “Horton Group?”
Isla smiled. “Yes, you should advise Mr. Horton to keep sdistance from her... | saw Mr. Horton taking care of
her in the hospital. If the journalists photographed it and misconstrued that Keira had srelationship with the
Horton family, it would be a big mess.”
Old Mrs. Horton immediately frowned. “Right, right. We can’t let the journalists photograph it...”
She immediately took out her phone and dialed Lewis's
number.
The call was answered quickly, and Mrs. Horton shouted, “Are you still at the hospital?! Are there still many
journalists?”

The rich, pleasing voice of Lewis cfrom the phone. “...How did you know?”
“You don’t need to worry about how | knew. I'm telling
you, you must protect your privacy and not let the journalists photograph...”
The corner of Isla’s mouth curled up.
As it involved the issue of reputation, old Mrs. Horton
and Mr. Horton indeed began to maintain their distance...
Just as she was thinking this, she heard old Mrs. Horton's following words. “...Don’t let the journalists photograph
Keira! A young lady needs her reputation! Even if this matter is resolved, if she is photographed and becomes a
trending topic, how can she face the people in Oceanion in the future?”
Isla was shocked.
She stared at old Mrs. Horton in astonishment and then heard her continue. “You brat! Such a big thing
happened and you didn’t tell me! How is Keira doing now? Does she needto cand see her? She doesn’t
need me? Then don’t go to work! You must stay in the hospital to protect her. If you can’t protect

her, don’t cback home!”
This was the sentence that Isla heard as she was
chased out of the room.
She stomped her foot in anger, a vicious look in her
eyes.
Back in the hospital.
Lewis calmly hung up. He rubbed his nose and looked at Keira. The words his grandma said echoed in his head.
“You brat, this is your chance. By the way, where are you sleeping tonight? The sofa? How can you sleep on the
sofa? Squeeze onto the bed with your wife!”
The bed...
There was only a single bed in the ward. Indeed two people could fit if they squeezed, but wouldn't they have to
be very close to each other?

Clearing his throat, he spoke to Keira. “I'm going to
handle sissues in the office.”
Keira was resting in bed, and she nodded when she heard him. “Alright.”

As Lewis made his way to the door, he suddenly turned back. “I'll cback tonight to have dinner with you.”
Keira was perplexed.
She wanted to tell him not to worry if he was busy, but she kept quiet when she saw the deep gaze in Lewis's
eyes.
She nodded. “Okay.”
After Lewis left, Keira thought she'd be bored, but then Mr. and Mrs. Allen brought Rebecca over.
As the three of them chatted with her, tquickly passed, and it was evening.
Rebecca was whispering to Keira, and Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen were sitting on the sofa beside them. Both of their
phones beeped simultaneously.
Mr. Allen took out his phone and saw it was a message from Frankie. “Dad, Mom, I've arrived home.”
Mr. Allen glanced at Keira.
The more he looked at her face, the more he found her to resemble Lady South from his memories...

All of a sudden, he sent a text to Frankie. “In my study, the second drawer, there’s an album. | believe there's a
picture ofand Lady South on the eighteenth page. Can you find it, take a picture, and send it to me?”
