Keira instinctively took out her cell phone.

She didn’t really want to make a scene with Isla in front of Mrs. Olsen…

Even if the truth came out on Monday through others, it would be better than having a face-to-face argument now.

Mostly, she was afraid that Mrs. Olsen would get too agitated, which might affect her health.

But now that Mrs. Olsen had called, she didn’t need to keep Isla’s secret anymore…

Just as the call came in, Isla rushed up to Mrs. Olsen and immediately hung up the phone. “Mom, no!”

Mrs. Olsen was stunned. She frowned and looked at her. “Why not?”

Isla bit her lip, “I just spoke with Jake, and he suggested that we shouldn’t blow this issue out of proportion and handle it internally. If Dr. South were to find out, even if he doesn’t blame Keira, the Horton Group has to show some form of punishment as an apology to Dr. South, which may lead to a more severe punishment.”

Mrs. Olsen paused slightly, “Is that so?”

“Yes.” Isla looked at Keira, a flicker of cunning light in her eyes. “Keira, you are found guilty with full evidence, and you’ve offended Dr. South. It would be best for you to apologize promptly and submit a sincere letter of apology to the company. Then I won’t pursue your responsibility, and Mr. Horton will surely be lenient with you on behalf of the Horton Group.”

As soon as he heard this, Taylor said, “Shirley, did you hear that? Nothing serious will happen to Keira. You just worry too much about everything…” Keira was silent, her gaze lowered to her own phone.

If she were to call back now, the truth would be clear, but would Mrs. Olsen be able to accept it?

Mrs. Olsen was such a pure and upright person. She only wanted her children to be healthy, and honest, and never to go astray.

Could she accept that her own daughter was actually a devious person?

Keira remained silent for a while and finally looked at Mrs. Olsen. She decided to lay the groundwork first. “Mrs. Olsen, I’m not that stupid. It wouldn’t be a big deal even if I couldn’t complete the project. I have no need to steal Dr. South’s solutions just to save face. Besides, have you ever thought about something? Did Dr. South agree to provide technical support to the Horton Group?”

At her words, Mrs. Olsen pursed her lips.

Isla interjected, “I’ve already explained this to Mom. I took her phone and called Dr. South without her knowledge, and he has already agreed.”

Just as Keira wanted to refute, Taylor berated in rage, “Keira, you’re unrepentant! It was all in vain that Shirley cared so much about you! Isla has decided not to hold you accountable, and yet you still dare to try and pin it on your sister?!”

He motioned toward the door. “Get out!”

Keira gave Mrs. Olsen a long look, seeing the latter frown slightly, clearly not believing her. Keira sighed, turned around, and left the room.

Her words would give Mrs. Olsen more room to think, and they could also serve as a buffer. When the truth came to light on Monday, hopefully, Mrs. Olsen won’t be too emotionally affected…

As Keira left the room, she heard movement behind her. Turning around, she saw Isla rushing after her.

Isla’s eyes flickered. “Keira, the Horton Group doesn’t really want to blow this out of proportion. I suggest you consider leaving voluntarily. That way, this whole thing will be over.”

Keira chuckled.

Isla had stolen her solution, and now she definitely wanted to calm things down quickly.

In a cold manner, she stated, “We both know who stole whose solutions. There’s no need for hypocrisy here.”

Hearing this, Isla lifted her chin in satisfaction. “Of course, you stole mine.

There’s plenty of evidence, you have no chance to deny it.”

Seeing Isla with no guilt in her eyes, Keira responded, “You think you’ve covered your tracks?”

A cold glint appeared in Isla’s eyes. “Are you referring to Dr. South? Do you expect Dr. South to confront this issue himself? Keira, you’re so naive. This minor issue won’t bother Dr. South!”

The implication was that Dr. South was completely unaware of this situation, nor would anyone bring it up with him. Keira had no choice but to carry this blame!

If Keira wasn’t Dr. South herself, she might have been put in a passive position.

Keira gave smiled. “Isla, when you walk on a dark road too many times, you’re bound to encounter ghosts.”

Leaving this behind, she walked away.

The smile on Isla’s face gradually faded until all that was left was spite.

Lewis was really in a meeting.

After the meeting ended at eight in the evening, he walked out of the conference room and happened to see a sneaky figure standing nearby. It was Jalen.

When he heard the conference room door open, he came over. “Lewis, I have a favor to ask.”

Lewis didn’t stop but walked toward the elevator. “Go on.”

Jalen glanced around to make sure the other executives at the meeting were at a safe distance, he then briefly relayed the situation in the research and development department. In the end, he pleaded, “Keira just graduated and might have lost her way trying to make some achievements. Anyway, the company didn’t suffer any losses. Could you perhaps handle this leniently?” Lewis entered the elevator and pressed the button for the underground car park.

Seeing that Lewis wasn’t responding, Jalen continued, “Lewis, I’ve never asked you for a favor before, but Keira is an invaluable talent. I really can’t bear to see her cut short her career…”

Lewis gave him a cold glance, his deep eyes devoid of warmth. “You think she stole it?”

Jalen stood there, stunned.

Ding.

The elevator arrived.

Lewis strode out and headed straight for his car.

Through the rear-view mirror, Tom saw his boss’s expression and cautiously asked, “Boss, you think Keira didn’t steal it? But if that’s the case, did Dr. South steal from her?”

Lewis looked up and glanced at him but said nothing.

Tom muttered to himself, “You do seem to trust her quite a bit.”

Lewis leaned back in his seat, lost in his thoughts.

It wasn’t that he trusted her, but there was an inherent pride in her that made him sure that she wouldn’t steal, nor would she need to.

As for why her solution was the same as Dr. South’s, was it because of Samuel Morgan?

He remembered that Keira had a boyfriend, and the two were in a hurry to get married…

Was that man Samuel?

The car soon arrived at the hospital.

Lewis got out of the car and strode into the building, just as he saw Keira coming over.

The lights in the corridor were dim, and most of the people were wearing striped patient gowns and looked worn out.

Only Keira had a fair complexion. Her casual gait radiated a sense of vitality as if she were the only scenery in this hospital.

Lewis’s expression unconsciously softened.

The two met at the entrance to old Mrs. Horton’s ward. Lewis didn’t enter the room but asked indifferently, “Need any help?”

Keira paused slightly and smiled, “No.”

Lewis’s voice suddenly turned cold. “You don’t need my help, so are you going to Samuel? Well, I admit I overstepped.”

Keira nodded, “I do need his help. He can better verify my identity.”

At her words, Lewis paused and asked, “Your identity?”
