Upon hearing this, Keiraâs pupils constricted. ·
She immediately tried to push open the door but found
it was deadbolted from the inside.
âStep aside.â
Following that command, Uncle Olsen kicked out fiercely!
âBang!â
The door was kicked open, sending wood splinters flying, but the two of them didnât care and rushedstraight into the room!
They saw the master bedroomâs floor was wet, and Mrs. Olsenâs hands were tied to the bathroomhandrail with a belt; the floor was strewn with a bath towel and
torn clothesâ¦
Mrs. Olsenâs face was filled with anger and despair, her body trembling slightly.
Taylor was shirtless at the time, wearing only pants that were soaked through. Hearing the door open,he turned sharply, and upon seeing Uncle Olsen and

Keira, he was taken aback.
He had loved Mrs. Olsen for over twenty years and still loved her deeply, but that love had twisted intosomething else. Nevertheless, his first instinct was
concern for Mrs. Olsenâs embarrassment!
Especially in front of Uncle Olsen, he knew she would feel even more distressed, so Taylorâs firstinstinct was to grab a bath towel and cover Mrs. Olsenâs body!
And so, he managed to maintain Mrs. Olsenâs dignity in front of othersâ¦
Uncle Olsen only glanced once before he quickly averted his eyes, but his face suddenly turned ashen.
Mrs. Olsenâs hands were tied, her expression pained and hopeless, clearly not there by her ownvolition and although she was wearing a bath towel, one co see the scars on her exposed shouldersand legsâ¦
Had she been a victim of domestic abuse?!
This revelation struck Uncle Olsen, making his eyes instantly blaze with rage!
She was the woman he had adored for over twenty years, whom he held dear in his heart and he had

longed for so ardently. She was someone he could have taken by force given his status, yet he hadnever dared to do such a thing, deeming it would defile his goddess. And now, had she beenmistreated by that bastard Taylor?!
Fury taking over, he seized Taylor by the shoulder, dragged him forcefully out the door, and as soon asthey were outside, his fist came crashing down!
He didnât sneak a peek at Mrs. Olsen, maintaining his gentlemanly composure throughout.
Inside the bedroom.
Keira was also furious.
pect
The mother she had always wanted to have, the one who was gentle and strong, who taught her therself and not to despair over her origins, ha abused by Taylor?!
Like Uncle Olsen and Taylor, she knew Mrs. Olse pride, so her first reaction was to close the door.
Then, she rushed to Mrs. Olsenâs side, just about to speak when Aunt South, who had followed in,exclaimed in shock, âMadam, how could, how could this hannen?!â
O
271 Love
Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes in humiliation, tears rolling down from her eyes.
Aunt South immediately cried. âMadam, I thought the master just wanted to become true husband andwife with you. Iâve seen his kindness toward you over the years. How could he bear to treat you likethis? Your injuries, these injuriesâ¦â
Mrs. Olsen clenched her fists, her body trembling slightly.
Keira immediately said, âMom, donât worry about that bastard. Iâll help you get dressedâ¦â
She stepped forward, undid the belt around Mrs. Olsenâs wrists, then turned to look for clothes, butsince she hadnât spent much time with Mrs. Olse he could only look toward Aunt South, asking, âWh
Momâs undergarments kept?â
Aunt South, upon hearing this, became dazed, star blankly at Keira.
Keira decisively pulled down her mask, revealing her face.
Aunt Southâs pupils contracted. âMiss Keira?â

Keira frowned. âThe clothes!â
Then Aunt South snapped back to reality and quickly turned around. âRight, the clothesâ¦â
She opened the wardrobe and took out some new clothes for Mrs. Olsen. Keira took them, eager tohelp the powerless Mrs. Olsen get dressed.
But just as she approached Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Olsen clutched the bath towel fiercely. âAunt South,pleaseâ¦â
Keira paused slightly.
She then realized that Mrs. Olsen had long been accustomed to Aunt Southâs care, and moreover, infront of her own daughter, her current state was too disheveled and wretched for her to bear beingseenâ¦
Keira immediately stood up and stepped asid
Aunt South walked over, trying to pull off the towel from Mrs. Olsen.
A horrific scream from Taylor came from outside door!
Mrs. Olsen immediately frowned, then said, âKeira, go out and take a look. Donât let Uncle Olsencommit murder..â
O
271 Love
Worry showed on her face.
It wasnât that she feared Taylor would be beaten to death, but rather that if Taylor were beaten to death,it would bring trouble to Uncle Olsen.
Given Uncle Olsenâs volatile temper, he would surely strike ruthlessly.
Keira looked at Mrs. Olsen with concern, âWhat about youâ¦â
Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze. âIâll put on my clothes and go out.â
Keira clenched her fists, her gaze sweeping over the interior of the bathroom. Even though it was amess, what had just happened could still be deduced from the clues left behind.
Thinking of what Taylor had done to Mrs. Olsen was so angry she wanted to kill him!
Yes, she would go outâ¦
To help her mother get this revenge!!
Keira left with a dark expression and thoughtfully
closed the door for Mrs. Olsen, only to see that Taylor was already gasning for breath!
O
271 Love
Uncle Olsen indeed had a heavy hand.
He didnât let others help him but was beating Taylor with his own fists, punch after punch. Taylorâs facewas swollen and bruised, as Uncle Olsen grabbed him by the collar again.
He raised his fist, ready to bring it down on Taylor.
Keira stepped forward. âStop!â
Uncle Olsenâs brows furrowed, looking at her.
Keiraâs eyes were cold. âDonât kill him carelessly! Iâll return the injury he inflicted on the lady tenfold, ahundredfold!â
After that, she pulled out several pieces of paper, went to the side of the basin to wet them, and then d
Taylorâs two bodyguards hold him down. She pasted the wet papers over Taylorâs face one
Taylor immediately found it hard to breathe!
A minute later, Keira lifted the paper towels to se Taylor collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath hewere a lump of rotten meat.
Keira crouched down beside him.
271 Love
Having nearly suffocated just before, Taylor saw Keiraâs face and finally realized something, his pupils
shrinking, âYou⦠are Keera?â
Keira didnât deny nor confirm, only staring at him. âAre you surprised?â
âOf course, Iâm surprised!â Taylor forced a smile. âIâm surprised. How did you manage to escape? Youwere in the vast sea, and yet youâre still alive!â
His words made Keira clench her fists tighter, âSo it
was indeed you. You actually wanted to kill the two of
us?â
âOf courseâ¦â
Taylor, battered and trembling, glanced at Uncle Olsen. He slowly straightened up his body a
close to Keiraâs ear.
In a voice only the two of them could hear, he âUncle Olsen is here, and Iâm finished today, so
you a secretâ¦â
