Keira suddenly looked up, feeling as though she had heard something.â
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 atthe rest area, which delayed him a bit, and he ended up right behind Mr. Hortonâs car.
The two cars headed toward Glow Village, one after
the other.
The Horton residence.
After Mr. Horton left, old Mrs. Hortonâs smile vanished instantly, and she turned to look at Keira with afrown, âDid that brat go to the hospital again?â
Keira paused, smiling, âNo, Grandma, youâ¦â
âYou donât need to make excuses for that brat!â Old Mrs. Horton said with a cold laugh. âThat bratalways values personal relationships more than work. What
could possibly be so important that he canât let it go? This morning, I heard from Fiona that you hurriedoff with him. Keira, tell me, what kind of trouble is
Madeleine stirring up now?â
Keira sighed, âGrandmaâ¦â
Old Mrs. Horton was genuinely angry. âKeira, you donât have to sweet-talk me on his behalf, and youdonât need to play the devoted wife either! When I arranged for you to marry that brat, I didnât want youto be
mistreated, and you certainly donât need to push your husband toward someone else. I donât want youto live
so stifled!ânovelbin
She looked at Fiona, âGet the car ready. Iâm going to the psychiatric hospital right now to see whattricks that little woman has used!â
But her arm was gripped tightly by Keira. âGrandmaâ¦â
Old Mrs. Horton turned to look at her, only to hear Keira say in a low voice, âMadeleine has jumped offa building.â
Even the composed old Mrs. Horton was struck by this
news.
She was silent for a long time before she spoke again. âDid she jump? Or is she using this to scare thatbrat? Let me tell you, some womenâs tricks are veryâ¦â
âShe really jumped.â
Old Mrs. Horton could have immediately sent someone to check on this matter, so Keira simply told thetruth.
âShe almost didnât make it. Sheâs still in the ICU.â
Old Mrs. Horton frowned, and she said nothing for a long time. Finally unable to help herself, sheasked, âWhy would it come to this? Why canât she move on? Why did it have to come to this?â
Both Keira and old Mrs. Horton were strong
individuals.
Therefore, they couldnât understand Madeleineâs
choice.
But Keira didnât want to speak ill of Madeleine behind. her back, so she helped old Mrs. Horton up andwalked with her into the yard.
Neither of them saw that just as they entered the door, Oliver came out from around the corner, hiseyes shining as he stared at them from behind!
He sneakily went to a secluded spot and called Selena directly, âSelena, you really do have divineforesight! Lewisâs old flame, that little Davis woman, caused a huge scene-she jumped off a building!!â
Expecting to have overheard some significant news from Keira and old Mrs. Horton, Oliver was takenaback when Selena spoke in a casual tone. âDad, Iâve known about it since yesterday.â
Oliver was stunned, âHuh?â
Selena began to speak. âYesterday, I had people keep an eye on Madeleine. Right now, my younguncle is with her at the hospital, and whatâs more, Iâve bribed a nurse and got hold of the doctorsâ chatrecords!â
Oliverâs eyes immediately lit up. âThen isnât this a great opportunity for us?!â
Selena nodded, âIâll send you the evidence right now. You know what to do next, donât you?â
âI do!â
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 withKeira, 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 lunaticâ¦
Lewis would have one less ally and one more burden,. and Oliver would then have the qualifications tocontend 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 meaningâ¦
Oliver snickered and then uploaded it to the internet.
:
Old Mrs. Horton sighed heavily, looking at Keira with guilt. âMy dear granddaughter-in-law, I, Iâ¦â
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, âGrandma, you donât need to say anything. I understand. Donât worry, this is between
Lewis and me. Please have some rest!â
She escorted old Mrs. Horton into the room. As she
stepped out again, she received a message from Samuel. âBoss, please take a look at this post.Whatâs going on?â
After opening the link, Keira saw a recording of doctors talking, but the content was edited to implysomething 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, âSuppress the trending topic.â
Samuel soon replied, âAlready suppressed. I just checked that Tom was the one who pulled this off,likely under orders from Lewis. Boss, whatâs going on with Lewis? Heâs still at the hospital with that
woman. What now? Does he plan to carry on with that woman?â
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, Samuelâs video call came through.
Keira reluctantly picked it up, only to find that no one
on Lewisâs end answered.
Tom, however, joined in.
Before Keira could speak, Samuel burst out. âMr. Davis, you must make your boss explain himself tomy boss! Donât think that just because my boss is easy to talk to,
you can brush off this kind of thing! Iâm asking you, what exactly is he thinking? Why is he at thehospital with that woman? Whatâs her relationship to him?â
Tom sighed, âMiss Olsen, please donât misunderstand my boss-his sense of responsibility is withMadeleine, but his true love is for you!â
Samuel scoffed. âTrue 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?â
Tom said, âMiss Davis once saved my bossâs life, so he feels obligated.â
âHow did she save his life? Come on, tell me. I want to
see what this situation is all about!â
