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’t worry, 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 me for?”
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 you blocked 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 al lawyer for you right now, and you must get back wh yours! Keera, don’t panic. You were always too soft-hearted, and after getting married, it’s gotten worse. That’s why he could manipulate you. From now 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, I have
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 property fees, so you probably don’t have much left in your account, right? You’re too naïve. How can you let Howard 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 o WhatsApp 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 relationship between 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 of acquaintanc with Howard. During these three years, you were completely bewitched by him, losing yourself 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 other since
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 about it? 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 had forgotten 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?”
