“Hey, let go of me!”
Erin was petite, almost childlike, standing half a head shorter than Keira.
Being held by Keira like this, she had no choice but to shout in frustration, unable to break free.
She struggled fiercely, refusing to let Keira touch her hair. “Don’t touch me! Keira, what do you think you’re doing? Let go of me right now. Did you hear me?”
Annoyed, Keira smacked her on the butt, “Quiet!”
Erin froze.
Her entire body stiffened, her pupils contracting as she slowly turned to look at Keira in disbelief. “You—you just slapped my butt!”

re did! Do I need to pick a special day to do it?” Keira retorted, still holding her hair. “If you keep moving, I’ll do it again!”
Erin immediately went still, looking at her pitifully.
Keira parted her hair and spotted a scar on the back of
–
Erin’s head. Though it wasn’t large, it was noticeable— a fine line that had clearly been there for years.
Keira hesitated, then let go of Erin.
Erin’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at Keira accusingly. “You actually hit me.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Seriously? Why did Erin remind her of Amy right now?
She even looked a little cute like this.
Keira twitched the corner of her mouth and turned
away.
Erin continued to stare at her pitifully. “If you wanted to check, you could’ve just looked. Why’d you have to slap my butt? My mom never even did that!”
Keira was speechless.
Erin hiccupped, almost sobbing. “My dad never did
either. I’ve never been hit, not once!”
Keira rolled her eyes.
“You dared to hit me…”
Keira’s ears felt like they were going to explode from the noise, so she cut in, “I’m sorry, okay?”

“Okay.”
Erin responded crisply, then immediately went back to munching on pistachios. “Can we go in now? If we don’t, we’re gonna miss all the fun!”
Keira rolled her eyes, feeling that Erin’s emotions were on full display–not at all like Fox!
She nodded and was about to head inside when she
overheard Selena speaking, “Lewis, Ms. Clark has loved you deeply for years, waiting all this time without getting married. Your late wife has passed away, so why not just forget about marrying Keera, who looks just like her…”
Selena continued with a smile, “Eve is such a good match. Marrying her would definitely boost the Horton family’s reputation and stock value…
“In all of Crera, there aren’t many as renowned in charity work as Eve. She really is the perfect choice to
marry.”
Erin popped another pistachio into her mouth, then leaned in close to Keira, whispering, “Do you think Lewis Horton will agree?”
Keira rolled her ovad “He won’t”

They’d been through so much together, even life–and–death situations–how could they not trust
each other?
Sure enough, as soon as Keira finished speaking, Lewis’s firm voice echoed, “Selena, you’re married now, so stop meddling in my family matters. Who I marry is none of your business.“)
Selena immediately looked hurt. “Lewis, I’m just concerned about you…”
Lewis snorted coldly. “You’d be better off worrying about your brother. He’s getting older and still doesn’t even have a fiancée. You’re his sister, after all!”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
At that, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Erin exclaimed, “Wow, Lewis Horton’s got a sharp
tongue!”
Keira didn’t say a word but took two steps forward.
They entered the room.
As soon as they entered, the people in the living room
roticed them. Selena Horton was taken aback when
she saw “Keera” as if she couldn’t believe her eyes.
But when Lewis’s eves brightened. Selena realized who

that was and immediately said, “You must be Miss Olsen, right? You really do look incredibly like my late aunt. If I didn’t know she was buried, I’d think you
were her.”
Keira looked at her coldly. “So you’re saying you’re
blind?”
Selena was taken aback.
She then gestured toward Eve Clark. “You haven’t met her, right? Let me introduce you. She’s currently the most active charity worker in Crera. The foundation she established has saved countless children and earned her a great reputation all over Crera…”
Keira was about to speak when Erin suddenly piped up from behind her. “She’s quite famous, but she’s only
second best.”
At that, everyone turned their attention to her.
Erin stepped out from behind Keira, spat out a pistachio shell, and grinned. “When it comes to charity, there’s actually someone else in Crera who’s even
more famous, though no one knows who they are.
Eveeard of them?”
The others looked nuzzled.

Erin continued, “I’m talking about N, the
philanthropist. Seriously, none of you have heard of them? That’s pretty sad. They’ve donated billions to charity organizations over the years, just without ever revealing their name!”
