Keira followed behind Howard and only realized it was a small villa after they exited the door.â
There was a seven-seater van parked in front of the villa, worth about a hundred thousand.
With no family driver, Howard tossed Amy onto the back seat before taking his place behind the wheel.
From this, it could be inferred that the Keera family belonged to the middle class, with a stable income,but not much. They had a slightly above-average lifestyle.
But they were not from a wealthy family.
As she pondered, she saw Howardâs mother catch up.
he threw her luggage in the back and sat down in the
assenger seat.
Howard looked at Keira impatiently. âArenât you getting in the car yet?â
Keira looked down quietly, got in the car, and sat in the back, holding the terrified and trembling Amy.
She rummaged through her luggage for a clean pair of pants, helped Amy change into them, put her in
diapers, and then placed Amy in the safety seat next to
her.
Amy sobbed, not daring to make a sound.
Keira felt around in her pocket and pulled out a mobile phone.
She turned on the screen and saw a photo of Keera and Amy together.
This was Keeraâs mobile phoneâ¦
Keira paused slightly, finally having the time to sort through the events that had happened.
After chatting with Keera in the restaurantâs private room, she was knocked out by a strange fragrance,and when she woke up, she and Keera were on a sunken shin
at time, her and Keeraâs luggage seemed not to be the boat.
After that, the two of them struggled desperately, escaped, and finally, when Keera pushed her onto aplank, it was certain that she had no mobile phone on

Later, Keera sank into the depths, a big ship came
along, and after Keira was saved, she completely passed out.
When she woke up again, she had become Keera.
Her sisterâs phone was in her pocketâ¦
Amy mentioned the doctor, who had administered iron
to Keira so she wouldnât die of iron-deficiency anemia. She also said that Keira had fainted in aswimming poolâ¦
All of this was very strange!
At the time, Keera had said, âItâs them. It must be them
who found us! They want to kill us!â
She also said, âIâm already in such a wretched state. My life is so miserable. Why wonât they let me go?No, no, they want to kill you, Keira, itâs you⦠It was me who
who brought them here⦠It was me who

owned.
it was the âtheyâ mentioned by Keera who wanted kill her? But for some reason, they mistook her forKeera and spared her life!
No, that wasnât right. If that was the case, then after
knocking them out, they could have just tied her up on the sunken ship. There was no need to bringKeera as
well!
Moreover, she and Keera had a very distinctive feature on their faces, the mole at the corner of theireyes!
A discerning person could tell they werenât the same
person.
So, who was behind the scenes?
Who wanted to kill them?
And who saved them?!
How exactly did she end up at Keeraâs home?
All of it was like a tangled mess, making Keiraâs mind muddled, unable to think clearly.

thought of Keeraâs original boot-up password when Keera said, âItâs Amyâs birthday.â Keira immediatelyturned to Amy. âAmy, when is your birthday?â
Amy said, âMommy, itâs June 26th.â

Keira promptly entered â0626â on the lock screen, and sure enough, she unlocked the phone!
She opened Keeraâs text messages only to find the inbox empty, not even a single spam message.
But her sister had clearly exchanged messages with
herâ¦
So, her sister would delete each message after sending
one?
Keira then opened her sisterâs WhatsApp, but aside from some daily life chats, there were no clueseither.
Keira threw the phone aside, disappointed.
Howard was driving and didnât notice her action.
Howardâs mother, however, was sitting in the
ger seat, looking at her through the rearview r, and upon seeing this, she sneered. âThe mpany belongsto you, and Howard is helping you make money. Why do you look so reluctant? Why is it so hard foryou to do something when asked?â
Howard gave a snort. âKeera doesnât like socializing.
She felt it was beneath her!â
âBeneath her? Acting as if sheâs some kind of noble
heiress? She even dared to get you to join her family through marriage, boasting herself so highly, butin the end, itâs just a small company-does it even make two million a year in profit?â
Howardâs mother looked toward Howard. âYou marrying into the family was such a loss! She must havedeceived you!â
Keira narrowed her eyes, countering sarcastically, âHoward, did Keera really deceive you when you got
married?â
Howard choked, changing the topic. âEnough! Why bring up the past?â
Seeing his reaction, Keira knew she had guessed correctly.
Although she didnât have much contact with Keera, she
a gentle and kind woman.
The year she took a husband into the family, she surely must have made her family circumstancesclear to Howard!
She had already checked; the place they were in was Clance, and although the small villa was in the
suburbs it was still worth twenty million.
If the companyâs annual income was two million, that would be enough to support their familyexpenses.
Keera had no reason to exaggerate when she wanted to take a husband into the family.
Howardâs mother was relentless. âKeera, when we get to the Hortonâs home later, make sure youbehave well. Donât be cold to everyone. Otherwise, whatâs the point of Howard taking you out tosocialize?! Remember
that!â
Keira looked down.
âLook, thereâs that deadpan face again!â Howardâs mother complained to Howard. âUseless ineverything! She just knows how to make me angry!â
hi
Howard coffed. âMom, donât worry. She comes from a
ckground and has never seen what a real amily is like. She thinks sheâs the best. Such a a well! Onceshe sees the luxury of the Horton ly, sheâll know how to ingratiate herself with thers!â
Howardâs mother heard this and laughed, looking at Keira. âThatâs right. Sheâs always cooped up athome. How could she be worldly?â
Their ridicule didnât bother Keira in the slightest.
They soon arrived at the Horton residence.
Outside the Horton residence, white cloth hung everywhere, and many had come to pay their respects.
The car hadnât even entered yet, as the road outside was already clogged with vehicles.
Howard could only slowly move forward with the flow
of trafficâ¦
Howardâs mother stared enviously at the large estate ahead. âMy God, is this entire community ownedby the Hortons? Their family is so wealthy!â
Howardâs eyes also shone, âYeah, itâs also my first time seeing such an illustrious household. Today isa rare opportunity to have a look inside.â
Keir
down, in no mood to admire the scene. She wished she could sprout wings and fly only wanting toknow if that body was indeed
