Keira arrived at her room to find Howardâs mother waiting by the door.
She hastened her steps and frowned. âIs Amy asleep?â
âSheâs asleep.â
Howardâs motherâs eyes flickered, and she suddenly took out Amyâs milk bottle. âTonight, Amy refusedto drink his milk. Taste it and see if it has soured or gone bad!â
Keira narrowed her eyes, sensing there was a problem.
She removed her mask, opened the bottle, and tilted her head back to drink without letting the bottletouch her lips, to prevent bacterial infection. After taking a sip, she carefully savored it. âItâs not spoiled.â
âIs that so?â Howardâs mother waved her hand. âMaybe sheâs full and doesnât want any more. If not, wemight have to switch to another brand⦠Drink the rest
yourself. Donât waste it.â
Keira had gone to the Horton family early in the morning to attend a funeral and hadnât gotten the
chance to eat anything at noon, so she was very
hungry now.
She asked with downcast eyes, âHas Mrs. Horton been
buried?â
Howardâs mother said impatiently, âSheâs been buried. Why are you asking so many questions? Do youreally think youâre Mrs. Hortonâs high school classmate? Youâre really getting into character! Just drinkthe milk and stop dawdling!â
Keiraâs eyes flickered, and she finished the milk in a few gulps, preparing to take it into her room towash the bottle.
Before she could push the door open, Howardâs
mother snatched the bottle away and said with a smile! âIâll wash it. Youâve been tired all day. Go tobed!â
After saying that, she took the bottle back to her own
room.
There definitely was a problem!
Howardâs mother was never usually so eager to help.
Had âtheyâ come looking?
Because of anemia, Keira had a certain resistance to
all medications.
She swiped the hotel card to open her door and stepped in.
As soon as she opened the door, Howard walked over. His usual disdain was gone, and he now lookedat Keira with warmth. âYouâre back.â
Keira furrowed her brows and before she could speak, Howard said, âItâs late. Go wash up and sleepâ¦I wonât disturb you!â
He swiftly slipped past Keira and on his way out, he left only one sentence behind. âAmy is with me, sodonât worry. Just make sure you take good care of the man in the room!â
Keira had already sensed that something w and in that moment, she grabbed Howardâs blocking hispath.
She wanted to see what Howard was up to!
But as she turned around abruptly, she saw the fa figure sitting on the couch and was utterly stunned
Lewis!
S
Why was he here?!
In the brief moment she was taken aback, Howard had already wriggled free and left the room,followed by the click of the door lock.
Keira pulled at the door fiercely, but Howard was already outside, securing the door with a chain,making it impossible to open!
After doing all this, Howard clapped his hands.
Hearing Keira trying to push the door from inside, he immediately said, âKeera, make sure you treat Mr.Horton well, as he can bring immense profits to our company, got it?! No resistance allowed! Do youhear
me?ânovelbin
Howardâs expression was one of smug satisfactio
Although he had met Uncle Olsen at the funeral, Howardâs subsequent messages were largely ignoreby him.
So when he noticed how much Mrs. Horton resembled
Keera at the funeral, he came up with this idea!
To send Keera to Mr. Hortonâs bed, so that afterward
he could establish a connection with the Horton
family!!
Howardâs mother appeared behind him. âSon, can we really do this?â
Howard sneered. âMom, itâs just sex. Besides, Keeraâs health is poor, and she hasnât gotten pregnantagain in the past few years. Itâs impossible for her to bear me another son. I can only count on Cindy.
Keera does have a nice face, and keeping her at home without use until now has finally paid off. Iâm notafraid of living with the humiliation, so what are you worried about?â Cindy was the mistress he hadbeen keeping outside, and she was now pregnant. The doctor diagnosed it as
a son.
Howardâs mother had always cared deeply for h looking forward to holding her grandson!
Upon hearing these words, Howardâs mother slapp him on the back. âThatâs not what I mean. Iâm talkinabout how Keera is utterly devoted to you; what if s refuses? Wouldnât it backfire?â
âDonât worryâ¦â Howard smiled confidently. âIâve just drugged both of them. That drug is potent; mostpeople canât handle itâ¦â

Howardâs mother asked, âSpeaking of which, why do Keera and Mrs. Horton look so similar? When Isaw Mrs. Hortonâs picture, I got scared. You think⦠could they be twins?â
Howard stroked his chin. âKeera is an orphan, adopted by her parents. I guess thatâs very likely thecase. Mom, we really hit the jackpot coming to this funeral! Who would have thought weâd stumbleupon such an opportunity!â
However, Howardâs mother frowned. âIf Keera and Mrs. Horton are really twins, canât we use thatrelationship to connect with Mr. Horton? Why then did you send her to Mr. Hortonâs bed?â
Howard waved his hand, âWhat do you know? His wif is dead, and who keeps in touch with the wifeâsfamily Although Keera is useless, her face is undeniably beautiful. Send her to Mr. Horton, and heâlldevelop a taste for her. There will definitely be ongoing contact. Besides, if we rely on Keeraâsrelationship with Mrs. Horton, wonât we have to be controlled by Keera? But if we have evidence ofKeeraâs infidelity, in the future, wonât I call the shots in this family?â
Howardâs motherâs eyes shone. âSon, youâre so clever!â
The two of them quietly discussed as they returned to
their room.
Inside the room.
Keira didnât hear their voices, but she had already guessed Howardâs intentions.
She couldnât help but spit in disdain.
âKeera, what kind of husband have you found for yourself?â
âKeira⦠itâs really you!â
Behind her, a manâs deep, husky voice mixed with disbelief reached her, causing Keira to stiffeninstantly!
The mask had been removed long ago, and it was n too late to put it back onâ¦
Lewis had already seen her face!
Keira clenched her fists and slowly turned around.
As she looked at Lewis, her eyes were filled with
longing!
Her mother had been kidnappedâ¦
Her sister was dead!
TA
The home she had finally found had just fallen apart. At this moment, it seemed she had only Lewisleft!
This thought made her soul suddenly crumble, and the heat inside her body didnât want to besuppressed!
She had been too restrained, and at this moment, she also wanted to properly let it all out!
Forget about the old flame, forget about the savior. She wanted to put them all aside for now!
With this thought, Keira headed toward Lewis!
She had just taken a step when her feet suddenly gave out, and she fell into Lewisâ armsâ¦
Lewis had been drugged as well, and though his min had still been clear, upon seeing her face andsmellin the familiar scent on her, he lost his composure.
He didnât restrain his yearning and fiercely kissed her lips!
