Isla still stubbornly retorted. “What kind of secret could there possibly be betweenand Keira...”
Exactly.
Keira also wanted to know what the secret had to do with her, a secret so significant it could let Isla be
threatened by Finley for so many years!
“Are you sure you wantto say it out loud?”
The faint voice of Connor added a sense of pressure to
Isla’s reluctance!
Isla immediately changed her tone. “I'm on my way to the hospital to visit Keira with my mother. I'll ask her to
put spressure on Keira so she’ll confess her guilt as soon as possible. After I'm done with all this, I'll cto
see you, okay?”
Connor finally smiled. “Alright, I'll wait for you tonight.”
The call ended.
However, Keira frowned and shuddered.
She didn’t expect Isla and Connor to have such a
12:24

relationship!
Wasn't Isla two years older than Connor?
She felt a chill run down her spine.
Lewis, standing by the window, said, “Mrs. Olsen is
here.”
In the phone call, Isla had already mentioned that she would be coming to visit Keira with Mrs. Olsen, thus Keira
wasn't surprised. She quickly freshened up and lightly patted her cheeks, adding scolor to her
face.
Seeing her actions, Lewis paused slightly, “Are you afraid that Mrs. Olsen will worry?”
“Yes.”
Keira rushed into the bathroom, changed herself out of the hospital gown, and cout looking radiant again.
After all these preparations, there was a sound at the door. Mrs. Olsen walked in with Isla and Taylor Olsen.
Upon entering, Mrs. Olsen’s eyes were immediately on Keira. Seeing her looking as usual, she breathed a sigh of
relief and quickly walked over to her. “Keira, are you

all right? Why didn’t you tellwhen such a big thing happened? If it wasn’t for the news, when were you
planning to inform me?”
Keira felt a warmth in her chest. Just as she was about to answer, Taylor sneered. “By looking at her healthy
appearance, where does she look sick? As it says on the internet, she just wants to apply for bail!”
Keira’s smile froze on her face, and she slowly lowered
her head.
But Mrs. Olsen held her hand tightly. “Keira is not that kind of kid. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Then she looked worriedly at Keira. “I didn’t know you had anemia when you were living with the Olson family
before. Have you been too tired since you moved out? Did you not eat enough?”
“We gave her living expenses every month. How could she have malnutrition?”
Taylor scoffed.
Keira frowned and immediately turned to him. “You gaveliving expenses every month? How cI’ve never
received it?”

Hearing those words, Taylor was stunned.
Mrs. Olsen frowned even more. “What? You didn’t receive it? How have you been managing all these years?!”
Keira clenched her jaw.
She really didn’t know about the living expenses, and she hadn't received a single penny over these years.
However, Taylor didn’t believe her. “Shirley, do you hear her talking nonsense here? She claims she didn’t
receive any money. How did she pay for her bills over the years then? She
then? She even went to college!”
Keira scoffed immediately. “Mr. Olsen, | haven't taken a penny from the Olsen family since | left the Olsen
residence! Do you needto show you my bank statement?”
Taylor was taken aback.
Mrs. Olsen turned to Isla. “Isla, didn’t | ask you to send money to Keira every month? Didn't you send it?”
Isla’s eyes flickered, clearly flustered, but her soon head dropped. “Mom, | gave the money to Aunt Hill! Could
she have kept it from Keira? How could she do
12:24

[e]
this?”
When Poppy was mentioned, Taylor's face was full of disgust, “She's such a selfish person. If you gave the
money to her, it's no wonder she kept it to herself!”
Taylor looked at Keira again. “Did you hear that? It’s not that we didn’t give you money, but your mother
embezzled it! That has nothing to do with the Olsen
family!”
His manner clearly informed Keira that he, as her father, had provided enough money!
Keira chuckled but before she could retort, Mrs. Olsen intervened. “Taylor, no matter what, Keira didn’t receive
the money. Therefore, she had to work hard, which ruined her health. This is where you, as a father failed in your
responsibilities!”
“Shirley, you are too kind-hearted! You're still worrying about her health! She’s not sick at all. She's just
pretending!”
Taylor didn’t feel guilty at all. Instead, he frowned at Keira. “Before we came, we asked the lawyer. Your
despicable uncle was the one who made a mistake first. You accidentally hurt him, so you won't be guilty
12 20

of a major crime. Confess now so the news can be suppressed. Otherwise, if this continues and your identity is
revealed, the Olsen family will also suffer because of you!”
Isla also piped up. “Keira, Dad is right. If your relationship with the Olsen family is discovered, our family’s stocks
will plummet severely, and we need to control the remarks on the internet. Dad is thinking about what's best for
you. If you confess, you can get a lighter sentence. If you refuse to confess, you'll face more years in prison...”
Keira didn’t care about the two of them. She just looked at Mrs. Olsen. “Do you agree with them?”
Mrs. Olsen patted her hand. “Keira, did you really accidentally kill that person?”
“No.”
“Do you have any evidence?”
Keira glanced at Isla and noticed her nervousness, whereupon she slowly said, “..No.”
Isla breathed a sigh of relief.
But Mrs. Olsen looked troubled. “But | just inquired

from the police station, and the current evidence is very unfavorable to you. If you can’t find strong
evidence to discharge yourself, you'll likely lose this
case.”
She bowed her head. “Before we came, | consulted the lawyer, and his advice was for you to confess as soon
as possible.”
Keira’s heart sank a little when she heard this.
But to her surprise, Mrs. Olsen held her hand the next
moment. “But you shouldn't confess to what you didn’t do. Keira, stick to what you think is right and keep
going.”
Keira’s eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
But Taylor reproached. “Shirley, don’t let her fool you! They were in an abandoned hospital at the time. If she
didn’t murder him, was it a ghost that did?! Now the whole inteis on a crusade against her. You're still
supporting her now. You're spoiling the child too
much!”
Isla also couldn't help saying, “Mom, we agreed to chere to persuade Keira to plead guilty. Otherwise, the
reputation of the Olsen family will be

affected and Jake will break off our engagement! Are You going to be unfair toagain, all because of an
illegitimate daughter?!”
Mrs. Olsen was taken aback by these comments.
She was speechless for a moment.
Tears started to flow from Isla’s eyes. “Mom, in the end, is she your biological daughter, or am | your biological
daughter?!”
After saying this, she ran out crying.
Mrs. Olsen looked a bit panicked. She looked at Keira, then outside the door, obviously hesitating.
But eventually, she stood up and went after Isla with Taylor.
The room quickly returned to its quiet state.
Keira stared at the door, laughing at herself.
