Chapter 279: Chapter 279

Mary was slightly stunned.

When she turned around, she saw Keira gripping her

wrist.

The woman immediately sneered. “What now? Do you have some harsh words for me again? Don’tworry, I won’t meddle in your affairs anymore.”

Before she could finish, she heard Keera say, “Thank

you.”

Mary’s speech came to an abrupt halt.

She looked at Keira incredulously. “What did you say?”

Keera actually said thank you…

Her previously forceful demeanor faded instantly, her eyes shining. “What, what are you thanking mefor?”

Keira said, “I know you’ve always had my best interests

at heart, and Howard has already come clean to me-

he indeed has a lover outside. I shouldn’t have blamed

you before.”

Mary sneered. “Now you realize you were wrong, don’t

you? Now you recognize what’s what, right? Keera, I’m telling you, you had no insight when youblocked me! Don’t think just because you say ‘thank you’ I’ll forgive your past behavior…”

She hadn’t even finished speaking when Keira lowered her head and suddenly said, “I want a divorce.”

Mary’s words were stuck in her throat.

Her previous arrogance vanished in an instant, and she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.“Divorce! Divorce is good! Such a scumbag should have been dumped long ago!”

She had already forgotten her words about not forgiving Keera and went straight inside. “I’ll hire allawyer for you right now, and you must get back wh yours! Keera, don’t panic. You were always toosoft-hearted, and after getting married, it’s gotten worse. That’s why he could manipulate you. Fromnow on, you must stand up for yourself!”

Mary rambled, “And you don’t have to worry about the divorce. If he won’t help you run the company, Ihave

money, and I’ll support you from now on! And Amy, I’ll look after her too…

“Right, I’m going to transfer some money to you right now. You were almost unable to pay the propertyfees, so you probably don’t have much left in your account, right? You’re too naïve. How can you letHoward handle all the household money?”

Listening to her talk, Keira felt a warm feeling in her

heart.

Keera had blocked such a good friend before, which was truly foolish.

Mary took out her phone to make a transfer via WhatsApp, only then did she realize that they hadn’t re-added each other as friends.

She paused, casting a glance at Keira before sa resentfully, “Aren’t you going to add me back oWhatsApp now? Otherwise, I might not transfer

money to you!”

Keira smiled. “There’s no need to transfer money.”

Mary immediately became anxious. “I was just kidding

with you, you…”

“But we should add each other back on WhatsApp.”

Mary said nothing.

(

The two added each other on WhatsApp, and Mary’s

username was simply her own name, which also let

Keira know her name.

It was then that Mary smiled.

Keira led her through many past events, and gradually she also came to understand the relationshipbetween Keera and Mary.

The two were classmates since elementary school and

attended the same middle school, high school, and even university; they were childhood friends.

Mary complained, “Our friendship of over a decade couldn’t compare to your three years ofacquaintanc with Howard. During these three years, you were completely bewitched by him, losingyourself entirely in this failed marriage. Keera, when you two got

married, I told you he was only after your money; now do you believe me?”

“Yeah.”

Keira narrowed her eyes.

What happened with Howard was just a small issue; the key was… Mary and she knew each othersince

thou wero kida?

Such a longtime friend… Mary must know about Keera’s foster parents!

She looked at Mary and went straight to the point. “Mary, do you still remember our secret?”

As soon as she asked, Mary immediately furrowed her

brows.

She looked around nervously and then asked in a hushed voice, “Of course, I remember. What aboutit? Have they been looking for you again?”

They…

Keira’s pupils shrank. “Mary, did I ever tell you who they are?”

Mary frowned. “What’s with you today? You’re acting all weird. Don’t you remember these things?”

“Of course not.”novelbin

Keira was dead serious but bluffing. “I just wanted to see if, after half a year of no contact, you hadforgotten about my affairs.”

“How could I?” Mary was anxious. “When you’re concerned, I’ve always kept the matter in my heart!”

“Then tell me, who are they? What do they usually

come to me for?”
