At this moment, Tom had a dazed look on his face, and he was still in shock. He didn’t know much about R&D, but he was aware of the significance of Dr South to that team.

He was looking at a post on the company’s internal network with his mobile phone.

Indeed, the situation had reversed!

People had been berating Lewis for favoring a beautiful intern, but their sentiments had shifted,

Wow! Dr. South is actually the beautiful intern?”

“So, it was Mr. Horton who invited Dr. South to the company, not Vice President Jake?”

“Still talking about the Vice President? Isn’t he embarrassed? He got promoted to Vice President because he seemed to have brought Dr. South in as the technical support for the company, right?”

“He could only recommend someone for technical support, but Mr. Horton has already invited her to the company! When comparing the two…suddenly Mr. Horton seems so mysterious and powerful!”

“I just asked Group One in R&D. Dr. South has already left! Why did Vice President Horton have to do this? If he hadn’t slandered the beautiful intern, wouldn’t Dr. South still be helping the company anonymously?”

Tom was very satisfied, wishing he could drop down on his knees in front of Keira!

Only when Lewis’s voice rang did Tom hastily put down his phone, respectfully asking, “Boss, what you said made sense. After all, which mother would be so cruel to her own child? Throwing the child out and completely ignoring the child when she’s only in middle school?? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lewis’s face darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice. “Some mothers are like that.”

Tom was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize he had said the wrong thing!

Lewis’s mother was exactly like that…

He hurriedly changed the topic. “Boss, you made an appointment to discuss the project with Mr. Allen.”

“I know.”

Lewis didn’t continue the previous topic and started preparing to go to the top floor with Tom.

At the elevator entrance, Isla was clinging to Jake’s arm and pleading desperately, “Jake, I really don’t know what’s going on. Keira must have intentionally hidden her identity from me…”

Jake pushed her away and scornfully said, “Isla, she’s not that kind of person I’ve known her for four years as a classmate. I guess Dr. South never promised to come to Horton Group as a technology consultant, did she?”

Isla was stunned.

Jake said angrily, “My proposal to you was a mistake…”

Isla cried out in shock, “Jake!”

Jake continued. “Tomorrow, I’ll formally cancel our engagement.”

Isla clenched her fists.

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Frankie strode out with his secretary. Seeing him, Jake’s face changed, “Mr. Allen?”

The elegant and amiable Frankie paused.

Jake smiled and said, “I’m Jake Horton. My uncle mentioned that our two families are going to work together.”

Frankie slightly nodded, his attitude was polite but distant. “So you are young Mr. Horton, I am here to meet with Mr. Lewis Horton.”

Upon hearing this, Jake awkwardly stepped aside, “Then, please…”

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out,

“You are Mr. Frankie?”

Both men turned to see Isla looking shocked.

She didn’t expect that the older brother of the girl she met at the hospital would turn out to be Frankie.

Frankie didn’t quite remember her and asked politely, “And who might this be?”

He gave off an approachable vibe, yet his words showed a sense of distance. Isla’s eyes flickered as she laughed. “Mr. Allen, have you forgotten me? Oceanion First Hospital, your sister, the phone call…”.

Frankie was taken aback, “Are you the…Good Samaritan who made the call?” Isla smiled slightly, holding onto Jake’s arm as she implicitly admitted, “Mr. Allen, this is my fiance.”

Only then did Frankie seriously look at Jake. “Young Mr. Horton, what a coincidence.”

His gaze grazed past Isla, and suddenly suggested, “Mr. Horton and I have some business to discuss, would young Mr. Horton like to join us?”

Frankie, of course, knew about the situation of the Horton family, and so he had no intention of having any entanglement with the main branch of the Horton family.

But if Jake is the fiance of his sister’s lifesaver, he couldn’t refuse to help out.

After all, the Allen family owed a life debt to their savior!

Jake was stunned by the adulation he was receiving.

Without Dr. South as his connection, his status was quite awkward in the research and development department.

The Allen family is a renowned and powerful clan in the capital city, and Frankie specifically named him to participate in the collaboration of the two groups. His status in the company would continue to rise!

He glanced at Isla and patted her hand, hinting at his intentions. “Isla, I have to get back to business now. I’ll take you to buy our engagement ring tomorrow.” Isla sighed in relief. “Okay.”

She must marry Jake!

A while after Frankie left, he suddenly took out his mobile phone, found the contact of the savior of his sister, and sent her a message, “Miss Olsen, when are you free? Could we invite you and your fiance for dinner?]”

When Keira’s cell phone rang, she was engaged in a conversation downstairs in the lobby with the Vice Chancellor and the Dean of Oceanion University.

She glanced at it and saw it was a message from a familiar number.

Being sensitive to numbers, she quickly remembered that this was the number of Rebecca’s brother.

Keira was also curious about the events that followed that day, so she responded to the message, “How about this weekend?”

After replying to the message, she realized something was wrong. When did she get a fiance?

“Dr. South, you are also a graduate of Oceanion University and should understand our educational philosophy. We sincerely invite you to come back to teach…”

The Vice Chancellor of Oceanion University was very sincere, “We hope you will consider it.”

Keira looked up, skipped the pleasantries, and said bluntly, “I was originally planning to accept your invitation. After all, I was taught by Professor Miller. But now that Professor Miller is on leave, I heard that his post-graduate students are being treated unfairly.”

The dean’s face froze, “Dr. South, it’s a misunderstanding… I didn’t knowyou were Dr. South…”

The Vice-Chancellor interrupted him, “Shut up! Even if she’s an ordinary student, she shouldn’t be expelled without a proper trial! Dr. South, we’ll handle it seriously and hold someone responsible. As for Professor Miller he has served for so many years and has taught many excellent talents for the school. I think he’s very suitable for the position of dean of the Institute of New Energy Science. What do you think?”

Keira was very satisfied.

She quickly reached an agreement with the Vice-Chancellor.

Isla came downstairs to find them talking joyfully.

She clenched her fists in anger.

Seeing the respect the Vice-Chancellor showed to Dr. South, a wave of jealousy welled up from within her!!

After they spoke for a while, the Vice-Chancellor and the dean departed.

Samuel went to get the car, and Keira waited at the gate.

Isla quickly walked over, unable to hide the acrid contempt on her face. “Keira do you know why I hate you?”

Keira didn’t bother to respond to her.

Still, Isla continued to say, “Aunt Hill told me, your computer password is my mom’s birthday.”

Keira slowly looked down.

So, Poppy knew her so well that she could easily unlock the laptop.

Isla took a step forward, her voice accusing and vicious. “Don’t you have a mother of your own? Why did you use my mother’s birthday as your password? Don’t think I don’t know your little tricks with my mother. Coveting someone else’s mother is disgusting!”

She emphasized word by word. “Don’t you always dream of taking my place? Dream on! My mother will always be mine and has nothing to do with you! Stop your wishful thinking!!”

Keira stood dumbfounded, an overwhelming feeling of panic suddenly filled her heart.

Her deepest desire was exposed, and there was a moment when she felt utterly humiliated.

Keira sat in Samuel’s sports car. The cold wind messed up her hair, but it didn’t disperse her thoughts.

She had always been envious that Isla had such a gentle and loving mother. As a child, she dreamed countless times that she had become Isla, with Mrs Olsen combing her hair and telling her stories while she nestled in Mrs. Olsen’s arms, lingering for her gentleness…

She carefully restrained and suppressed her yearning for Mrs. Olsen and never met her after leaving the Olsen family, but still set that password like a pervert. Watching the scenery on the roadside gradually recede, she gave a bitter smile, picked up her phone to change the password, and entered a new one:1234. When the screen showed that the password change was successful, she felt an emptiness deep in her heart.

She shouldn’t have yearned for Mrs. Olsen’s maternal love, even less deserved to disturb her life…

Her eyes felt a bit sour.

Keira gently raised her head to hide the tears in her eyes.

Just then, Samuel’s phone rang.

He picked it up, and a voice came from the other side..”Samuel, I found out the secret about her uncle, Finley Hill, that the boss asked me to investigate!”
