Everyone from the R&D department team was dazed upon hearing Jalen’s words.

“Jalen, what are you saying? Are you confused?”

“Is Dr. South here? Where is he? Can we meet him?”

“Who is Dr. South? Jalen, did you just say Miss Olsen is

Dr. South?”

“You must be joking Miss Olsen is so young…”

Just as everyone thought Jalen was joking, Keira looked at him, her expression serious. She extended a hand to

him. “Nice to meet you. I’m Dr. South.”

Instantly, the entire team fell silent.

Luca was the first to utter a sharp cry. “Keira! What did

you say? Who are you?!!”

The rest were stupefied.

Keira looked over the group.

During the past few days, she had been protected in an unprecedented way. Even though these people had initially misunderstood her, they quickly cleared the misunderstanding.

What they did afterward moved her.

She smiled slightly. “I want to thank you all for looking after me these past few days. If you have any technical issues in the future, feel free to message me.”

With her identity revealed, she could no longer stay here for the desk job. She only came back with Jalen to say goodbye.

She already had the medical materials, so she could

leave now.

While the team members were still in a state of shock, she quietly stepped back and walked out with Samuel.

Jalen watched her leave. He unconsciously took a step forward but then suddenly stopped.

He began to regret something.

His reaction to learning that she was Dr. South was so rude! Had he left a bad impression on her?

As Jalen was thinking about this, he turned to find the rest of the team bug-eyed, each sporting an unspoken expression.

It was only when Keira entered the elevator that the team came back to their senses.

“Ah! Miss Olsen is actually Dr. South!”

“Oh my god, I was actually working with Dr. South!”

“She just said we could talk to her if we have any problems in the future. I’ve actually become friends with Dr. South!”

Then, thinking of something, the team rushed to where Keira used to work, and all the stationary on he desk was swiftly taken.

“These are the pens used by Dr. South!”

“This is a draft paper of Dr. South!!”

“This is a paper cup Dr. South drank from…”

Suddenly, the atmosphere became strange.

Jalen watched them, and for once, he didn’t reprimand them. He suddenly felt at ease.

In comparison to them, he was very normal!

In the Administrative Department’s conference room.

After Keira left, Lewis told the head of the Administrative Department, “Call the police.”

These words scared the recently arrogant Poppy Hill, who had been released only two days ago!

The head of the Administrative Department pondered for a moment before hesitantly speaking, “Mr. Horton, if we call the police, it’ll cause a big fuss and impact our company negatively. Actually, we never intended to call the police today.”

Even if Keira was proven guilty, they would handle it internally within the Horton Group and not make it public knowledge.

Lewis glanced at her indifferently.

The head of the Administrative Department’s heart jumped, and she immediately lowered her head, “Yes,

sir.”

Poppy shouted, “Mr. Horton, I just wanted to teach my daughter a lesson. What I stole was my own biological daughter’s stuff, and that’s not against the law, right? The victim didn’t say anything, so why should the police be involved?”

Lewis looked at her coldly. His penetrating gaze made Poppy feel as if she were in an ice cellar. Then she heard the man’s deep voice. “What you stole is the core technology of Horton Group, and you’re suspected of stealing company secrets, which is a crime. Even if she doesn’t pursue the matter, the company cannot allow it.”

Poppy froze and swallowed. “Wha-, what secrets? Will

Mr. Horton said in a deep voice, “According to Article 219 of the Criminal Law regarding the behavior of infringing trade secrets, if the circumstances are serious, the perpetrator shall be sentenced to

and not more than ten years.”

Poppy was stunned, “Is, is it that serious?”

The head of the Administrative Department gave Mr. Horton a strange look.

Today’s incident wasn’t serious, and it didn’t cause any loss to the company. Why was Mr. Horton trying to scare her?

While thinking, Lewis spoke again. “Of course, if you were instructed or deceived, a lighter sentence may be imposed. So, were you prompted by someone to steal the information?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s gaze

shifted to Isla.

Everyone could think.

How would a fifty-year-old woman who was detached from society know about a concept like renewable

energy?

It was clear that Isla lured and directed her!

The Administrative Department head saw light.

Any normal person in Poppy Hill’s situation would now point at Isla to get themselves off the hook…

But just as she was about to speak up, she heard Poppy shout, “No, Isla knows nothing about this matter. I did everything, and it has nothing to do with her!”

Isla was next to her, her eyes red. She looked at Poppy and said, “Aunt Hill, even if you hate Keira and want revenge, you shouldn’t implicate me!”

She lowered her head to wipe non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes. Despite her grievous expression, a fierce light flashed in her eyes.

She wasn’t stupid.

This simple act of entrapment was so easy to expose. Therefore, from the very start, all she gave Poppy were suggestive statements.

After all, from Poppy’s point of view, Isla knew nothing about her real mother…

Isla just went to pick Poppy up from jail herself, and on the way she acted scared and elaborately told Ponnv

about Keira and Jake’s bet. In the end, she remorsefully said, “Aunt Hill, why am I even saying these things? I’ve just been worried lately, Dr. South hasn’t been replying, and it seems like Keira’s solution is done… Jake wants to break our engagement. What should I do? Forget it, everyone has their own fate.”

Poppy, her biological mother, then “took it upon herself” to steal Keira’s solution and even found a way

to send it to Isla’s computer.

Isla wasn’t involved in the process at all!

Even if the police came, as long as Poppy didn’t implicate her, she would be in the clear!

As expected, the police arrived quickly and after asking

for details, they only took Poppy away.

Isla didn’t breathe a sigh of relief because she wasn’t concerned about Poppy but about Jake!

Sure enough, Jake’s expression darkened.

Even though Isla wasn’t taken away, everyone knew what was going on.

The head of the Administrative Department gave Jake

a strange look, and the suspicion in her eyes seemed to suggest that he and Isla were in on it together…

He had no way to explain himself!

Jake didn’t even look at Isla and stepped out.

Isla hurriedly followed him, “Jake, let me explain…”

After the two left the meeting room, Lewis watched the direction they went.

Why did Poppy protect Isla so much?

He suddenly said to Tom, “I think Isla seems more like Poppy’s daughter.”

At this moment, Tom had a dazed look on his face, and he was still in shock. –

He didn’t know much about R&D, but he was aware of the significance of Dr. South to that team.

He was looking at a post on the company’s internal network with his mobile phone.

Indeed, the situation had reversed!

People had been berating Lewis for favoring a beautiful intern, but their sentiments had shifted,

“Wow! Dr. South is actually the beautiful intern?”

“So, it was Mr. Horton who invited Dr. South to the company, not Vice President Jake?”

“Still talking about the Vice President? Isn’t he embarrassed? He got promoted to Vice President because he seemed to have brought Dr. South in as the technical support for the company, right?”

“He could only recommend someone for technical

support, but Mr. Horton has already invited her to the company! When comparing the two…suddenly Mr. Horton seems so mysterious and powerful!”

“I just asked Group One in R&D. Dr. South has already left! Why did Vice President Horton have to do this? If he hadn’t slandered the beautiful intern, wouldn’t Dr. South still be helping the company anonymously?”

Tom was very satisfied, wishing he could drop down on his knees in front of Keira!

Only when Lewis’s voice rang did Tom hastily put down his phone, respectfully asking, “Boss, what you said made sense. After all, which mother would be so cruel to her own child? Throwing the child out and completely ignoring the child when she’s only in middle school…..”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lewis’s face darkened, and his voice was as cold as ice. “Some mothers are

like that.”

Tom was dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize he had said the wrong thing!

Lewis’s mother was exactly like that…

He hurriedly changed the topic. “Boss, you made an appointment to discuss the project with Mr. Allen.”

“I know.”

Lewis didn’t continue the previous topic and started preparing to go to the top floor with Tom.

At the elevator entrance, Isla was clinging to Jake’s arm and pleading desperately, “Jake, I really don’t know what’s going on. Keira must have intentionally hidden her identity from me…”

Jake pushed her away and scornfully said, “Isla, she’s not that kind of person. I’ve known her for four years as a classmate. I guess Dr. South never promised to come to Horton Group as a technology consultant, did

she?”

Isla was stunned.

Jake said angrily, “My proposal to you was a mistake…”

Isla cried out in shock, “Jake!”

Just then, the elevator doors opened, and Frankie strode out with his secretary

Seeing him, Jake’s face changed, “Mr. Allen?”

The elegant and amiable Frankie paused.

Jake smiled and said, “I’m Jake Horton. My uncle mentioned that our two families are going to work together.”

Frankie slightly nodded, his attitude was polite but distant. “So you are young Mr. Horton, I am here to meet with Mr. Lewis Horton.

Upon hearing this, Jake awkwardly stepped aside, “Then, please…”

Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out,

“You are Mr. Frankie?”

Both men turned to see Isla looking shocked.

She didn’t expect that the older brother of the girl she met at the hospital would turn out to be Frankie.

Frankie didn’t quite remember her and asked politely, “And who might this be?”

He gave off an approachable vibe, yet his words showed a sense of distance.

Isla’s eyes flickered as she laughed. “Mr. Allen, have you forgotten me? Oceanion First Hospital, your sister, the phone call…”.

Frankie was taken aback, “Are you the…Good Samaritan who made the call?”

Isla smiled slightly, holding onto Jake’s arm as she implicitly admitted, “Mr. Allen, this is my fiancé.”

Only then did Frankie seriously look at Jake. “Young Mr. Horton, what a coincidence.”

His gaze grazed past Isla, and suddenly suggested, “Mr.

Horton and I have some business to discuss, would young Mr. Horton like to join us?”

Frankie, of course, knew about the situation of the

Horton family and so he had no intention of having

But if Jake is the fiancé of his sister’s lifesaver, he couldn’t refuse to help out.

After all, the Allen family owed a life debt to their

savior!

Jake was stunned by the adulation he was receiving.

Without Dr. South as his connection, his status was quite awkward in the research and development department.

The Allen family is a renowned and powerful clan in the capital city, and Frankie specifically named him to participate in the collaboration of the two groups. His status in the company would continue to rise!

He glanced at Isla and patted her hand, hinting at his intentions. “Isla, I have to get back to business now. I’ll take you to buy our engagement ring tomorrow.”

Isla sighed in relief. “Okay.”

She must marry Jake!

A while after Frankie left, he suddenly took out his mobile phone, found the contact of the savior of his sister, and sent her a message, “Miss Olsen, when are you free? Could we invite you and your fiancé for dinner?]”

When Keira’s cell phone rang, she was engaged in a conversation downstairs in the lobby with the Vice Chancellor and the Dean of Oceanion University.

She glanced at it and saw it was a message from a

familiar number.

Being sensitive to numbers, she quickly remembered

that this was the number of Rebecca’s brother.

Keira was also curious about the events that followed that day, so she responded to the message, “How about this weekend?”

After replying to the message, she realized something was wrong. When did she get a fiancé?

“Dr. South, you are also a graduate of Oceanion University and should understand our educational

philosophy. We sincerely invite you to come back to teach…”

The Vice Chancellor of Oceanion University was very sincere, “We hope you will consider it.”

Keira looked up, skipped the pleasantries, and said bluntly, “I was originally planning to accept your invitation. After all, I was taught by Professor Miller. But now that Professor Miller is on leave, I heard that his post-graduate students are being treated unfairly.”

The dean’s face froze, “Dr. South, it’s a

misunderstanding… I didn’t know you were Dr.

South…”

The Vice-Chancellor interrupted him, “Shut up! Even if she’s an ordinary student, she shouldn’t be expelled without a proper trial! Dr. South, we’ll handle it seriously and hold someone responsible. As for Professor Miller, he has served for so many years and has taught many excellent talents for the school. I think he’s very suitable for the position of dean of the Institute of New Energy Science. What do you think?”

Keira was very satisfied.

Isla came downstairs to find them talking joyfully.

She clenched her fists in anger.

Seeing the respect the Vice-Chancellor showed to Dr. South, a wave of jealousy welled up from within her!!

After they spoke for a while, the Vice-Chancellor and the dean departed.

Samuel went to get the car, and Keira waited at the

gate.

Isla quickly walked over, unable to hide the acrid contempt on her face. “Keira, do you know why I hate you?”

Keira didn’t bother to respond to her.

Still, Isla continued to say, “Aunt Hill told me, your computer password is my mom’s birthday.”

Keira slowly looked down.

So, Poppy knew her so well that she could easily unlock the laptop..

Isla took a step forward, her voice accusing and vicious. “Don’t you have a mother of your own? Why did you use my mother’s birthday as your password? Don’t think I don’t know your little tricks with my mother. Coveting someone else’s mother is disgusting!”

She emphasized word by word. “Don’t you always dream of taking my place? Dream on! My mother will always be mine and has nothing to do with you! Stop your wishful thinking!!”

Keira stood dumbfounded, an overwhelming feeling of panic suddenly filled her heart.

Her deepest desire was exposed, and there was a moment when she felt utterly humiliated.

Keira sat in Samuel’s sports car. The cold wind messed

up her hair, but it didn’t disperse her thoughts.

She had always been envious that Isla had such a gentle and loving mother.

As a child, she dreamed countless times that she had

When the screen showed that the password change was successful, she felt an emptiness deep in her

Keira gently raised her head to hide the tears in her
