Keira was currently chatting with old Mrs. Horton.

The elderly lady's eyes were red, and she clutched Keira's hand tightly as if afraid the latter might disappear. "My granddaughter-in-law, it's just so wonderful to see you again!"

Keira lowered her eyes, smiled, and said emotionally, "Grandma, it's my fault. I should have come to see you sooner."

"You must have had your reasons for not coming! Now that you have taken on a different identity... and I've heard there's a child? Granddaughter-in-law, what's all this about?"

After saying this, she suddenly added, "It's fine if you can't tell me now."

Keira was touched and briefly explained, "It was my sister Keera who drowned at sea, and I don't know how it happened, but when I woke up, I had become her. As for why I live using my sister's identity, it's a complicated story..."

"Then let's not talk about it!" Old Mrs. Horton had tears in her eyes, and she smiled at Keira. "It's good that you've come home! What about your identity as the Olsen's daughter..."

"It's true. Uncle Olsen is my father."

Old Mrs. Horton paused for a moment. "What about your mother?"

Upon hearing this, Keira looked slightly dejected, "My mom has disappeared."

Old Mrs. Horton frowned. "How could she just disappear?"

Keira said, "The South family took her away, and now I'm trying to find out where exactly the South family is, but I've been unable to find them... I must rescue my mother!"

"The South family?" old Mrs. Horton echoed.

Keira immediately looked at her. "Grandma, do you know the South family?"

Old Mrs. Horton furrowed her brow. "I remember now, your mother's name is Jodie South... So she's from THE South family!"

Keira gripped her hand excitedly. "Do you really know the South family?!"

Old Mrs. Horton nodded. "It's normal for you not to know about the South family; it's an ancient clan known to my generation."

Keira was excited. "Then Grandma, can you tell me everything you know?"

"Of course."

Old Mrs. Horton looked around. "There are too many people here gossiping, so let's talk after the banquet is over."

"Okay."

Keira then asked, "How have you been feeling lately?"

"I've remembered many things. Your medicine really works, but it's a pity I'm old, and even though my mind is clearer, I won't live many more years. After I'm gone, that brat will need you by his side."

"Grandma, don't say that. You're going to live a long life. I'm still hoping you'll see your great-grandchildren!"

Keira hastily offered some comfort. Then she noticed an argument not far away.

She paused briefly, not understanding what had happened, then stood up and said, "Grandma, there seems to be some trouble over at the Olsen family side. I'll take a look. Fiona, please take good care of Grandma."

Fiona immediately nodded. "Yes, madam, go ahead!"

Fiona's eyes, too, were filled with tears.

Keira squeezed her hand and then walked toward the site of the dispute.

Halfway there, she was stopped by James. "Keera, come quickly, take a look at Peter's girlfriend!"

James and Peter were close in age, so they didn't address each other as brothers but was always using each other's first name.

Keira glanced farther away before joining the Olsens.

Peter was introducing his girlfriend to the family with a satisfied smile on his face.

James made a face. "I don't know where he found this girl, and he's treating her like a treasure. He only brought her here today for everyone to meet. In her conversations, she's been hinting that you should be mindful of our image and not offend the Horton family too severely, as it wouldn't be good for our family! She's not even married into the family yet, but she's already ordering people around! If she gets married to Peter, she's definitely going to be troublesome."

Listening to James's complaints, Keira couldn't help but smile.

The Olsen brothers were actually quite decent people, and Peter, despite being a bit rigid and dogmatic, was also pretty good to her.

She still remembered that Peter gave her a precious jade bracelet at her acknowledgement banquet.

However, he was always trying to teach her stuff, urging her to break up with the "gigolo" as soon as possible so as not to upset Lewis Horton.

It could be considered sound advice with no ill intent.

As they walked over, Peter saw them and quickly introduced them to his girlfriend. "Susan, look, this is the sister I told you about. She's Keera!"

Then, to "Keera", he said, "Little sister, this is my girlfriend, Susan Simpson."

With those words, the girl turned her head.

The moment Keira saw Susan's face, she paused slightly.

Well well...

It turned out to be an old acquaintance!

Wasn't she the woman who was publicly getting intimate with another man in the parking lot of the shopping mall the day before?

Keira's expression immediately changed.

She remembered the conversation between this woman and the young man in the parking lot.

Something about the woman saying, "I need money from my boyfriend to pay your bills..."

So, that wretched boyfriend... was actually Peter?!

Keira didn't know what to say.

Speechlessly, she twitched the corner of her mouth, and when Susan reached out her hand enthusiastically, Keira looked down at that hand without moving.

Susan paused and looked at Peter, baffled. "Peter, does your sister... not like me?"

Peter then looked towards Keira.

Keira didn't know what to say.

She touched her nose and coughed, "No, it's just that I'm a bit of a germaphobe."

She just thought about how this woman's hand had gone into a man's pants the day before, and she felt a bit sick, unable to get over it psychologically...

If it had been a normal boyfriend and girlfriend, it wouldn't have been so bad, but this woman was, after all, cheating on Peter.

Upon hearing this, Susan became displeased.

Before she could say anything, Keira looked at her with a mocking smile, "Miss Simpson, were you at S Shopping Mall yesterday?"

Upon hearing this, Susan seemed slightly startled.

Peter, however, didn't react. "Yes, she went to buy a purse yesterday... Keera, how do you know?"

Keira looked at him with a taunting smile. "I just happened to be buying a birthday gift for Lewis yesterday and ran into a woman who looked very much like Miss Simpson."

Susan immediately tensed up, and with an embarrassed smile, she said, "Miss Olsen must be mistaken."

"Is that so?"

Peter, however, said, "Maybe not. Keera, what was the person you saw wearing yesterday?"

Keira said with a smile, "She was wearing a yellow dress, right?"

"Yes!" Peter's eyes lit up. "I drove her there, but I had to leave because I was busy with work. Where did you see Susan?"

At that, Keira laughed. "The parking lot."
