At those words, Samuel cast a careful glance at Keira.

From the moment his boss got in the car, she wore an unapproachable demeanor, which kept him on edge, despite being just her driver.

He cleared his throat. “My boss is next to me. Go ahead.”

The tone on the other end of the line became more respectful. “Boss, we found out that Finley Hill has been gambling all these years, losing over fifteen thousand each month. A few days ago, he was set up and lost thirty thousand dollars. The people at the casino were about to break his legs when he shouted something, and they let him go. Guess what he shouted?”

“What?”

“He said his niece was Miss Olsen!”

Keira was slightly taken aback, but she didn’t take it much to heart. In the past, whenever Finley sought money from her, he would say things like, “You’re Miss Olsen as well. Why don’t you ask your dad for money?”

“Boss, did he come to you for the money afterward?”

Keira responded nonchalantly, “Isla must have given it to him.”

“She has. I checked his bank transactions; it was deposited two days ago. Plus, I found out that since ten years ago, Isla has been transferring him twenty thousand monthly. Over the years, Isla has given him almost three million. What kind of leverage does he have on her to extort so much money?”

Keira coldly replied, “Isn’t that what I asked you to investigate?”

“Boss, don’t get angry. Let me finish!” the other person replied with a playful tone. “I’ve checked everyone surrounding Finley Hill. It turns out he has a pretty tight lip. He hasn’t told anyone. But now, I have an opportunity to pry open his mouth. All I need is a little cooperation from you, Boss.”

“How can I help?”

“Yesterday, Finley Hill was cheated in the casino and lost over half a million. He’s desperate. After all, that’s not a small amount. It’ll probably take Isla some time to gather the amount. In the meantime, Finley Hill will have no choice but to turn to you, and that’s when we can squeeze out the secret.”

Keira frowned. “Were you behind this?”

“Ahem, just some minor scheme. Don’t worry, Boss. I remember you strictly forbidden partaking in any illegal activities, and I’ve been a law-abiding citizen who never touches drugs or gambling.”

“…I see.”

After hanging up the phone, Keira looked up.

She needs to uncover the secret between Isla and Finley Hill to prevent any harm to Mrs. Olsen.

Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Mrs. Olsen to Dr. South. “Dr. South, are you busy right now? I’ve been thinking, I have a favor to ask of you…”

Keira replied. “I’m free at the moment. What’s the matter?”

Mrs. Olsen immediately sent over a voice message. “Dr. South, here’s the situation. Your design plans for Horton Group were stolen by a young girl named Keira. I would like you to convey to Horton Group that they should not hold her accountable for this.”

Keira stared at the voice message for a while.

She never expected Mrs. Olsen to contact her about this matter.

Perhaps noticing that Keira didn’t respond, Mrs. Olsen sent another voice message. “I know this puts you in a difficult position, but Keira is like a daughter to me. I’ve watched her grow up since she was little. She’s not that kind of person. There must be some misunderstanding. Do you have some free time? Why don’t we meet and talk about it?”

A daughter…

Keira’s eyes welled up with tears again!

She pressed her lips together and replied, “I’m on my way to your house.”

Having sent the message, she told Samuel, “Drive me to the Olsen’s.”

Olsen residence.

After sending the message, Mrs. Olsen took a deep breath, feeling nervous. “Dr. South said he would come here now…”

Aunt South couldn’t help but interject, “Mrs. Olsen, you’re not fond of socializing, and you have seldom met with outsiders over the years. And yet, for that girl’s sake, you’re voluntarily arranging to meet Dr. South. You are being too meddlesome!”

Mrs. Olsen’s health was weak, and she lacked the energy, so Aunt South had a soft spot for her. “Why do you have to be so concerned about that woman’s daughter?”

Mrs. Olsen lowered her head.

Isla and Taylor weren’t at home, so the two could have a heart-to-heart talk.

Mrs. Olsen suddenly said, “Aunt South, honestly, even I don’t know.”

Aunt South was startled.

Jodie South stared blankly ahead. “As you know, I’ve never been the selfless type, but strangely enough, from the moment I first saw her as a child, I found her adorable. There was this indescribable liking for her in my heart and an uncontrollable desire to protect her. It’s as if she were my own daughter…”

Aunt South also remembered the young Keira. Recalling the worn-out clothes she wore, and how she was scolded and beaten by Poppy. Aunt South let out a sigh. “She was indeed pitiful. The poor girl got stuck with such an irresponsible mother.”

However, she quickly changed the subject, “But, Ma’am, she’s an outsider after all. Moreover, her mother was so wicked, and she has never come to visit you since she left. She’s an ungrateful wretch…”

Mrs. Olsen retorted, “There must be some misunderstanding. Remember, it was Keira who asked Mr. Horton to help get me a room in the hospital and that medicine.”

Aunt South let out a snort of disapproval. “If she doesn’t even help with that, she really has a cold heart! Mrs. Olsen, don’t let such small kindness sway you. You were also…”

Before she could finish, Mrs. Olsen turned to look at her.

Aunt South abruptly stopped. “What I mean is that you have surely experienced everything and should understand that all these earthly possessions are external wealth, and it is the companionship that matters most. Think about Dr. South. He has taken care of you meticulously. How much effort has he spent on you? He sends you gifts every year on your birthday and never skips any festival, just like a real son. If Dr. South doesn’t want to let Keira off the hook, don’t put him in a difficult position. In this case, Dr. South is the real victim…”

Hearing this, Mrs. Olsen let out a quiet sigh. “I understand.”

On one side was Keira, whom she had raised since childhood, and on the other was Dr. South, who had sacrificed so much for her. Mrs. Olsen also didn’t want to make Dr. South sad.

After some time, there was a noise from the entrance.

Isla had returned home.

Mrs. Olsen hurriedly stood up, walked over to her, and asked, “Isla, how did Horton Group handle the matter with Keira?”

Upon seeing Mrs. Olsen’s state, Isla’s fists clenched. “You… Didn’t you ask her?”

“No, I was afraid that if I asked her directly, it would put pressure on her and make her upset.”

Isla looked even more upset. “She’s fine. Jake didn’t hold her accountable.”

Mrs. Olsen sighed in relief. “That’s a relief. Isla, invite Jake over for dinner someday. I would like to thank him properly.”

Isla’s face tightened, “Okay.”

Horton Group had issued an order not to disclose Dr. South’s identity to the public.

Within the company, only the beautiful intern from the R&D division was known as Dr. South, but her real name was not known.

Just as Isla was pondering over it, the doorbell rang.

After the nanny opened the door, Keira walked in. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Mrs. Olsen was surprised and delighted when she saw her, “Keira, what brought you here?”

Keira responded with a smile, “Didn’t you invite me here?”

Mrs. Olsen was perplexed.

While she still looked puzzled, Keira opened Dr. South’s WhatsApp chat and held it out for Mrs. Olsen to see..
