Isla still stubbornly retorted. “What kind of secret could there possibly be between me and 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 want me to 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 some pressure on Keira so she’ll confess her guilt as soon as possible. After I’m done with all this, I’ll come to 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 some color 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 came out 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 tell me when 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 gave me living expenses every month? How come I’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, I haven’t taken a penny from the Olsen family since I left the Olsen residence! Do you need me to show you my bank statement?”

Taylor was taken aback.

Mrs. Olsen turned to Isla. “Isla, didn’t I 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, I gave the money to Aunt Hill! Could she have kept it from Keira? How could she do

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

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 I just inquired

12:24

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, I 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 internet is 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 come here 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 to me again, 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 I 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.

Lewis, who had stayed in the corner of th

97 Intergenerational Inheritance

Keira was slightly dazed upon hearing this.

Then, she lowered her head. “Actually, many people

have said that.”

Lewis didn’t say anything and quietly listened to her

explanation.

Keira smiled. “When we were little, Isla hated me so much simply because when I stood next to Mrs. Olsen, people always mistook me as Mrs. Olsen’s daughter.”

Children didn’t know how to hide their true feelings.

Isla was very obviously targeting Keira back then. She

would push Keira, hit her, and have a bunch of other kids curse her. Keira had been severely brainwashed by Poppy at the time, always thinking that she owed Isla and forever keeping her head low in front of Isla, not knowing how to resist.

Keira’s eyes gradually became brooding. “In fact, I had thought that maybe the reason why Poppy was so bad to me was because I wasn’t her biological child at all. Unfortunately, I did a DNA test with her, and indeed,

12:25

I’m her daughter.”

She had been kidnapped and sold for several months at the time. Upon returning, the police station requested that she and Poppy undergo a DNA test to ascertain the child’s parentage. She wished at the time that she wasn’t Poppy’s daughter.”

Unfortunately, there was no such “if”.

“That’s indeed quite a pity.” Lewis’s voice was low and soft. “However, upon careful consideration, you and Mrs. Olsen don’t really look alike. It’s just that your temperaments are very similar.”

People who lived together tend to develop similar

habits over time.

When she was little, Keira’s favorite thing to do was to

observe Mrs. Olsen and learn how to interact with

people from her. It was also thanks to Mrs. Olsen that she was able to awaken and stop being manipulated by

Poppy.

She smiled. “I know we don’t look alike. If any of my facial features looked like Mrs. Olsen’s, I would have thought of Mrs. Olsen as my mother.”

This self-deprecating remark made Lewis chuckle
