Why did Keera suddenly have knowledge of new energy?

She even brought out the latest scientific research technology in new energy.

There was only one explanation that made sense!

Rebecca felt she had seen the truth…

Feeling Rebecca’s intense gaze, Samuel was somewhat at a loss, “Miss Allen, what are you..

Yet Rebecca stepped closer, seizing his hand. “Samuel, tell me, is it true?”

Samuel’s mouth twitched, and then he replied, “Of course..

Rebecca’s eyes suddenly shone even brighter.

But what she heard next was: “It’s not true!”

Rebecca was taken aback.

Samuel coughed and began, “Miss Allen, since you’ve asked, I’ll just tell you straight. The boss of Keera Technology, Keera, is actually Keira’s twin sister”

Rebecca paused slightly when she heard this.

Samuel sighed. “After my boss passed away, her company should have gone to her direct relatives by rights, but Mrs. Olsen was nowhere to be found, and my boss only had this one sister left…

Rebecca understood. “So, Miss Keira’s company is now Keera’s company?”

Samuel scratched his head. “Right.”

That was the explanation he had thought of for the public.

His own company was about to merge with Keera Technology anyway, and it would make it easier for him to help his boss; this explanation seemed flawless.

Samuel knew that his boss’s identity couldn’t be revealed now.

Although Keira had never mentioned it, there was an unspoken understanding between them.

Seeing the expression on Rebecca’s face, he knew she believed his story. He cleared his throat when he heard Rebecca speak.

“So, you’ve become Keera’s subordinate, and Lewis, Miss Keira’s husband, has also become Keera’s man. Have you all started treating Keera as Miss Keira?”

Samuel scratched his head, not understanding why she sounded so sad when she said this but nodded anyway. “What? Lewis has become my boss’s man?”

What was this nonsense?

He had no idea about this!

But his words only made Rebecca more devastated. “Your boss? That was what you used to call Miss Keira, and now you address Keera in the same way?!”

11:44

341 Chapter 340

Samuel immediately realized his slip of the tongue and quickly added, “Well… I meant my employer! My employer has now become Keera, so… sorry, it just slipped out..“

Rebecca, incredulous, stepped back. “How could you let it ‘slip out“?”

Samuel looked at her, confused.

Rebecca immediately shouted, “How could you let it ‘slip out? Samuel, you traitor! Lewis is a traitor. all of you are traitors!!”

She was screaming, with tears streaming down her face.

Then she grabbed Frankie’s arm. “Frankie, cancel all cooperation with them! Kick him out!!”

Samuel was dumbfounded. “Wait, Miss Allen, you…”

Frankie immediately stepped between Samuel and Rebecca, pointing to the door. “Mr. Morgan, from now on, the Allen family will no longer cooperate with your company or Keera Technology. Please leave.

Samuel was dumbfounded.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Rebecca’s piercing scream had already reached him. “Go! Just go!”

She was obviously not herself, and Samuel could only wave his hands quickly. “Hey, okay, I’m leaving. Don’t get excited, alright…”

Samuel left the Allen residence with a dejected expression.

After he had left, Rebecca finally cried out, “Frankie, why? In this world, no one can replace Miss

Keira!TM

Leaving behind only those words, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

Frankie immediately picked her up, tense but not panicked because recently, Rebecca had been heartbroken and fainting had become a frequent occurrence.

Carrying Rebecca upstairs, he just happened to run into their parents, who, hearing the commotion downstairs, were hurrying over.

Seeing Rebecca’s state, Mrs. Allen was shocked. “What happened?”

Mr. Allen also scolded, “Frankie, weren’t you supposed to take your sister out to relax? How is this relaxing?!”

With no other choice, Frankie briefly explained the day’s events.

Mr. and Mrs. Allen were stunned, then both let out a sigh in unison.

Mr. Allen, feeling sorry for his daughter, said, “Cancel the collaboration. Don’t upset Rebecca

anymore.”

Frankie nodded. “Okay”

Mrs. Allen had tears in her eyes. “How did things get so messed up? How could Keira have a twin sister? But what Lewis did was really too much. It’s not just Rebecca. It makes me uncomfortable too!” Mr. Allen and Frankie exchanged looks, neither man foolish enough to speak up for Lewis.

341 Chapter 340

“Kicked out?

Keira found the voice on the phone somewhat unbelievable.

Samuel said, “Yeah, I didn’t expect it either. You’ve only been gone for so long, and they have no regard for your reputation!”

Keira pressed her lips together. “Don’t talk nonsense. There must be some misunderstanding. Rebecca isn’t like that.”

But Samuel snorted. “I think she’s acting a little crazy right now. You haven’t seen her when she’s unreasonable…

Keira cut him off, “That’s enough.”

Immediately, Samuel said, “Alright, I’ll stop talking badly about her, okay? But what should we do now? Boss, do you have to collaborate with the Allen family?”

“Yes.”

Keira said calmly, Tll think of another way.”

With that, she hung up.

Suddenly, there was an additional voice beside her, “The Allen family won’t collaborate? Let me help

with that”

Keira jumped in fright, turning around to realize that at some point, Lewis had moved from the opposite sofa to her side.

He had been there so quietly that she didn’t even know how long he had been standing by.

She furrowed her brows, hesitantly saying, “Never mind. I’ll think of something else.”

Because of the Davis family’s relationship, Lewis had always had a poor attitude towards the Allen family, considering Mrs. Allen was the daughter of the Davis family. Asking him to mediate probably wouldn’t sit well with him.

Just as she was considering this, Lewis said indifferently, “I’ll have Tom speak to them. Don’t worry. You’re overthinking it.”

Keira thought about it, then didn’t object. “Alright then.”

If they could reach an agreement sooner, it would be best.

She was about to continue working when Lewis suddenly held her arm. “Stand up and walk around a bit. Sitting too long isn’t good for your health.”

He glanced at the mobile phone screen displaying tips for pregnant women.

Keira stretched. “Alright.”

Then she stood up and immediately felt a warm large hand around her waist. She was startled, turning to see Lewis looking awkward. “Be careful, don’t hurt your back.”

Keira was perplexed.

341 Chapter 340

She was confused. “What’s wrong with you? Have I got some incurable disease?”

342 Chapter 341

Lewis immediately said, “No, don’t jinx yourself,” (D))

Keira was perplexed.

She stared at Lewis. Then what’s wrong with me?”

As soon as she said this, she yawned!

Lewis’s eyes lit up again!

Among the early signs of pregnancy, there was another one: drowsiness. He immediately helped Keira to the bedroom. “TII handle the Allen family for you. You’re sleepy now, right? Go to bed.”

Keira was perplexed.

Although she felt Lewis was being quite inexplicable, she indeed hadn’t had enough sleep due to this man’s passion in the past few days, so she went into the bedroom.

Lewis gently covered her with the blanket, then stepped out quietly. “Don’t worry. When you wake up. I will have taken care of the Allen family for you.

Keira didn’t know what to say.

After Lewis left, she picked up her phone and saw a message from Samuel. “Boss, isn’t the day for your iron transfusion delayed this month?”

Keira replied to the message. “Yes, I caught a cold after falling into the water last time, so my period has been delayed. I haven’t felt it yet. I’ll let you know when I do!

Whenever her period was about to start, she would feel abdominal pain and weakness, which was when it was time for an iron transfusion.

But last time, after falling into the ocean and soaking for a long time, she caught a cold.

A few days ago when her period didn’t come, she was afraid she might be pregnant, so she went to the hospital for a check–up and found out it was just menstrual irregularity.

She couldn’t afford to get pregnant with her current situation.

She didn’t yet know what she would be facing in the future…

Thinking about this, Keira tossed her phone aside and closed her eyes.

She slept very comfortably, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside.

Amy was lying next to her, playing with a toy. Seeing her wake up, she immediately trotted over. clinging to the bed and trying to climb up.

Soon after clambering up, she dove straight into Keira’s arms.

Lewis stepped out for a moment and when he gently opened the door, he saw this scene and was startled, quickly rushing over to pick up Amy. “Amy, you can’t bother Mommy now!

Amy was perplexed.

Amy immediately pursed her lips, not speaking, just looking at Keira with tearful eyes.

342 Chapter 341

Keira, unable to resist such a pitiful look, immediately said, “I’m awake now, it’s okay. Amy isn’t bothering me. Give her to me

Lewis was very conflicted but ultimately handed Amy to her. He then sat down beside them.

As Keira played with Amy, she suddenly went to tickle her underarms.

Amy laughed out loud, so excited that her little legs kicked and flailed, and the next moment, a large hand reached out, seizing those two chubby legs.

Keira was perplexed.

So was Amy.

Both turned their heads in unison, only to see Lewis staring tensely at Amy’s legs and Keira’s belly.

Seeing that Amy hadn’t kicked Keira’s belly, Lewis finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But then his gaze met Keira’s inquisitive eyes.

Lewis immediately coughed and averted his eyes.

nanny

Keira raised an eyebrow and played with Amy for a while longer before letting the take her away to sleep, then she turned to Lewis. “You wouldn’t happen to think that I’m pregnant, would you?”

Lewis’s expression stiffened.

Seeing his reaction, Keira understood and couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and incredulity. “No, I just had a blood test a few days ago.

“Is that so?”

Lewis showed a hint of disappointment.

Keira moved closer. “Are you disappointed?”

“No.”

Lewis denied it quickly.

However, Keira laughed and then took his hand. “I don’t want to have children anytime soon.”

Lewis nodded. “I know.”

That was why he hadn’t told Keira his suspicion, fearing that if she really was pregnant, she might give it up, as now was indeed not the right time.

But if she really had a child, he didn’t want to give up just like that.

Now that he was sure there wasn’t one, he felt relieved.

As the two of them talked openly, they relaxed a lot.

Keira looked at him. “How are things going with the Allen family?”

At her words, Lewis paused slightly.

Keira was startled, “What’s wrong?”

Lewis cleared his throat. “The Allen family said they were fine with cooperating with Keera Technology, but they want me to agree to one condition.”

13:45

342 Chapter 341

“What condition?

Lewis was silent for a while before saying in a puzzled tone, “Frankie said Rebecca wanted to marry

me.”

Keira was perplexed.

She looked at Lewis, puzzled.

After a while, she hesitantly asked, “Does Rebecca like you? I didn’t notice when we were in Oceanion…

Lewis was also baffled.

The Allen family.

Frankie looked at Rebecca in resignation. “If you don’t like him, why do this?”

Rebecca stared at him. “I have to protect Lewis for Miss Keira and prevent him from finding another stand–in!”

Frankie didn’t know what to say.

The cooperation with the Allen family seemed to be at an impasse.

Samuel tried to mend things a few times but didn’t get through the door.

On Lewis’s side, Tom personally visited the family, and Frankie did let him in out of respect for Lewis. but the condition still hadn’t changed.

Lewis even made a phone call to Frankie.

The two men, both of few words, were silent for a long time after the call connected, until Lewis finally broke the silence. “What’s going on?”

Frankie said, “This is my sister’s idea. Anyway, you two are both unmarried now, which seems you’re both available. Why not just agree?”

Lewis hung up immediately with a cold face.

Keira watched his sullen face and almost laughed. “There must be a misunderstanding. Rebecca’s isn’t

like that”

Lewis frowned. “Let’s hope so.”

Keira then frowned. “Forget it, neither of you can handle it, so it seems I have to make a visit personally.”

Keira did as she said, immediately having Lewis drive her to the Allen residence.

At the doorstep, Lewis announced his arrival.

Upon hearing it, the butler immediately sent someone running inside, “Mr. Allen, Mr. Horton has come personally!!”

This time, of course, no one dared to stop them, and the butler personally led Lewis and Keira to the drawing room, then said, “Mr. Allen and Miss Allen are both at home. I’ll get them for you now.”

11:45

342 Chapter 341

Upstairs, when Rebecca heard from the butler that Lewis had brought Reera, the seemingly frail

woman suddenly became as revitalized as if she was injected with adrenaline. She was full of fighting spirit.

She immediately changed her clothes and looked at Frankle. “Let’s go downIST

Frankle sighed. “That’s Mr. Horton. Don’t do anything rash

Rebecca clenched her fists. “I won’t. I just want to ask Keera if she knows that she’s just a replacement!”

343 Chapter 342

343 Chapter 342

Keira and Lewis were seated in the reception room, surveying their surroundings. “I didn’t expect Rebecca’s home to have such décor. It’s quite cozy.

Lewis frowned, looking displeased. “Don’t you feel even a hint of danger?”

Keira, puzzled, looked at him, “What danger?”

Lewis coughed, then lowered his voice.” Rebecca covets a friend’s husband so openly. You should keep your distance.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She smiled faintly. “There must be some misunderstanding”

Lewis sighed and said nothing.

Over the years, whether during school or after returning to the country, many women had thrown themselves at him relentlessly, otherwise he wouldn’t have mistaken Keira, who came to him with a printout of the marriage certificate, as trying to hit on him.

But he could never have imagined that the obedient girl who always listened to Keira, filled with admiration in her eyes, would also take a fancy to him.

If Rebecca were only Frankie’s sister, he certainly wouldn’t be amicable.

But since Rebecca was also Keira’s friend and bestie, with whom she had a good relationship in Oceanion, he couldn’t be too harsh.

After all, a bestie’s pillow talk could be deadly!

Lewis coughed, and then messed up his neatly arranged hair a bit, and adjusted his sports jacket.

Seeing him like this, Keira asked, “What are you doing?”

“Making myself look uglier.”

Keira twitched the corner of her mouth, grabbing his hand. “Stop messing around. No matter what you do, you can’t hide your handsome features.”

At her words, Lewis indeed stopped his actions, but his ears gradually turned red.

Keira noticed he blushed easily, so she deliberately stared at him.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he cleared his throat to remind her. “Hold back a bit. Wait until we’re home tonight.

Keira laughed.

At that moment, there were sounds from the doorway, and then Frankie walked in with Rebecca.

Frankie had lost some weight since their first meeting. As soon as he entered, his gaze fell on Keira’s face, a shadow flickering in his eyes.

Lewis immediately stepped forward, blocking his

gaze.

11:45

343 Chapter 342

Frankie looked at Lewis with a frown.

Keira didn’t notice the subtle actions between the two men, instead, she turned to look at Rebecca, only to see Rebecca lifting her chin slightly, lacking the gentleness and timidity she had shown in Oceanion, her manner now carrying a hint of haughtiness.

As soon as she entered, she stared blatantly at Keira, her eyes filled with hostility.

What was going on…?

While Keira was contemplating, Rebecca approached her and extended her hand. “Hello, I’m Rebecca.”

As Keira reached out her hand, about to touch hers, Rebecca withdrew her hand, feigning nonchalance as she touched her hair, then stared at Keira, “Keera, right? You really resemble a friend of mine.”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

Rebecca continued to stare at her. “Do you want to know who my friend is? Oddly enough, it’s Mr. Horton’s deceased wife… Did you know about this?”

Confused, Keira nodded.

Seeing this, Rebecca immediately furrowed her brows, her voice becoming somewhat shrill, “You knew?”

Keira nodded again.

Rebecca immediately clenched her fists, then let out a scoff. “You’re happy to be someone’s replacement?”

This time, Keira sensed something was wrong, and before she could speak, Lewis stepped in front of her, giving Rebecca a warning look. “Miss Allen, please mind your manners.”

“Are you defending her already?”

Rebecca’s attitude was harsh. She stepped forward, staring intently at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, since you’re here, it’s time I made some things clear.”

Her eyes were bright as she spoke. “Actually, I fancied you when I met Miss Keira. I just restrained myself because of her presence. Now that she’s gone, how about our families join in marriage?”

Lewis was perplexed.

His expression turned dark as he stared at Rebecca. He then looked back at Keira with a look that said, “See, this is your good friend!”

Keira hadn’t expected Rebecca to say such a thing and immediately said, “Miss Allen, you can’t talk nonsense like that.

But Rebecca looked straight at her. “I’m not talking nonsense. I want him. If you want to cooperate with our family, give him to me, or forget the cooperation!”

With that, she walked out.

Rebecca could leave, but Frankie didn’t want to fall out with Lewis. Their families still had to work

714

343 Chapter 342

together, so he stayed, looking helplessly at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, you heard what my sister said, right?

Lewis suppressed the anger and stared at him. “Do you always indulge her like this?”

Frankie shrugged. “There’s no helping it. She’s the only daughter of my parents, and she’s my only sister who has gone through such an ordeal. From now on, she can only be coddled.”

Lewis didn’t know what to say.

He looked helplessly at Keira.

But Keira stepped forward and addressed Frankie. “Mr. Allen, if the cooperation between our families is so frivolous, then let’s call it off. However, Miss Allen doesn’t seem quite right. Maybe you should take her to a psychiatrist?”
