Horton Family
Keira followed behind Howard and only realized it was a small villa after they exited the door.
….
There was a seven-seater van parked in front of the villa, worth about a hundred thousand.
With no family driver, Howard tossed Amy onto the back seat before taking his place behind the wheel.
From this, it could be inferred that the Keera family belonged to the middle class, with a stable income, but not much. They had a slightly above-average lifestyle.
But they were not from a wealthy family.
As she pondered, she saw Howard’s mother catch up. She threw her luggage in the back and sat down in the passenger seat.
Howard looked at Keira impatiently. “Aren’t you getting in the car yet?”
Keira looked down quietly, got in the car, and sat in the back, holding the terrified and trembling Amy.
She rummaged through her luggage for a clean pair of pants, helped Amy change into them, put her in diapers, and then placed Amy in the safety seat next to her.
Amy sobbed, not daring to make a sound.
Keira felt around in her pocket and pulled out a mobile phone.
She turned on the screen and saw a photo of Keera and Amy together.
This was Keera’s mobile phone…
Keira paused slightly, finally having the time to sort through the events that had happened.
After chatting with Keera in the restaurant’s private room, she was knocked out by a strange fragrance, and when she woke up, she and Keera were on a sunken ship.
At that time, her and Keera’s luggage seemed not to be on the boat.
After that, the two of them struggled desperately, escaped, and finally, when Keera pushed her onto a plank, it was certain that she had no mobile phone on her!
Later, Keera sank into the depths, a big ship came along, and after Keira was saved, she completely passed out.
When she woke up again, she had become Keera.
Her sister’s phone was in her pocket…
Amy mentioned the doctor, who had administered iron to Keira so she wouldn’t die of iron-deficiency anemia. She also said that Keira had fainted in a swimming pool…
All of this was very strange!
At the time, Keera had said, “It’s them. It must be them who found us! They want to kill us!”
She also said, “I’m already in such a wretched state. My life is so miserable. Why won’t they let me go? No, no, they want to kill you, Keira, it’s you… It was me who came to you, who brought them here… It was me who exposed you!”
Keira frowned.
So, it was the “they” mentioned by Keera who wanted to kill her? But for some reason, they mistook her for Keera and spared her life!
No, that wasn’t right. If that was the case, then after knocking them out, they could have just tied her up on the sunken ship. There was no need to bring Keera as well!
Moreover, she and Keera had a very distinctive feature on their faces, the mole at the corner of their eyes!
A discerning person could tell they weren’t the same person.
So, who was behind the scenes?
Who wanted to kill them?
And who saved them?!
How exactly did she end up at Keera’s home?
All of it was like a tangled mess, making Keira’s mind muddled, unable to think clearly.
a deep breath and looked at the mobile her hand.
thought of Keera’s original boot-up password when Keera said, “It’s Amy’s birthday.” Keira immediately turned to Amy. “Amy, when is your birthday?”
Amy said, “Mommy, it’s June 26th.”
Keira promptly entered “0626” on the lock screen, and sure enough, she unlocked the phone!
She opened Keera’s text messages only to find the inbox empty, not even a single spam message.
But her sister had clearly exchanged messages with her…
So, her sister would delete each message after sending one?
Keira then opened her sister’s WhatsApp, but aside from some daily life chats, there were no clues either.
Keira threw the phone aside, disappointed.
Howard was driving and didn’t notice her action.
Howard’s mother, however, was sitting in the ger seat, looking at her through the rearview r, and upon seeing this, she sneered. “The mpany belongs to you, and Howard is helping you make money. Why do you look so reluctant? Why is it so hard for you to do something when asked?”
Howard gave a snort. “Keera doesn’t like socializing.
She felt it was beneath her!”
“Beneath her? Acting as if she’s some kind of noble
heiress? She even dared to get you to join her family through marriage, boasting herself so highly, but in the end, it’s just a small company-does it even make two million a year in profit?”
Howard’s mother looked toward Howard. “You marrying into the family was such a loss! She must have deceived you!”
Keira narrowed her eyes, countering sarcastically, “Howard, did Keera really deceive you when you got married?”
Howard choked, changing the topic. “Enough! Why bring up the past?”
Seeing his reaction, Keira knew she had guessed correctly.
Although she didn’t have much contact with Keera, she a gentle and kind woman.
The year she took a husband into the family, she surely must have made her family circumstances clear to Howard!
She had already checked; the place they were in was Clance, and although the small villa was in the suburbs it was still worth twenty million.
If the company’s annual income was two million, that would be enough to support their family expenses.
Keera had no reason to exaggerate when she wanted to take a husband into the family.
Howard’s mother was relentless. “Keera, when we get to the Horton’s home later, make sure you behave well. Don’t be cold to everyone. Otherwise, what’s the point of Howard taking you out to socialize?! Remember that!”
Keira looked down.
“Look, there’s that deadpan face again!” Howard’s mother complained to Howard. “Useless in everything! She just knows how to make me angry!”
hi Howard coffed. “Mom, don’t worry. She comes from a
ckground and has never seen what a real amily is like. She thinks she’s the best. Such a a well! Once she sees the luxury of the Horton ly, she’ll know how to ingratiate herself with thers!”
Howard’s mother heard this and laughed, looking at Keira. “That’s right. She’s always cooped up at home. How could she be worldly?”
Their ridicule didn’t bother Keira in the slightest.
They soon arrived at the Horton residence.
Outside the Horton residence, white cloth hung everywhere, and many had come to pay their respects.
The car hadn’t even entered yet, as the road outside was already clogged with vehicles.
Howard could only slowly move forward with the flow
of traffic…
Howard’s mother stared enviously at the large estate ahead. “My God, is this entire community owned by the Hortons? Their family is so wealthy!”
Howard’s eyes also shone, “Yeah, it’s also my first time seeing such an illustrious household. Today is a rare opportunity to have a look inside.”
Keir down, in no mood to admire the scene. She wished she could sprout wings and fly only wanting to know if that body was indeed
