As Keira pulled up to the entrance of the Horton estate, she noticed the main gate was already open, and several cars were parked prominently in the driveway.

When the guard saw her approaching, he looked a bit flustered, awkwardly asking, "Miss Olsen? What brings you here?"

Keira found his reaction odd. "Why? Am I not allowed to be here?"

"N-no, that's not it... I just..." The guard stammered.

"Open the gate," she ordered.

The last time Keira attended an event at the Horton estate, Lewis told the security staff not to stop her at the gate. The guard hurriedly complied, coughing nervously as he spoke again, "Uh, Miss Selena has returned home today."

Selena Horton?

Wasn't she the illegitimate daughter of the Horton family's main branch? Back then, Jake had developed a prejudice against illegitimate children because of Selena. When they were in Oceanion, Selena made just one move, pushing Madeleine into the spotlight, and it almost led to a divorce between Keira and Lewis.

After that, Keira began living under the identity of her late sister, Keera…

Lewis had been left a grieving widower. Then, word got around that Selena had married someone in Clance, but Keira hadn't kept up with the details.

Wasn't Selena supposed to be with some distant relative of the Gills? That guy worked at the Nora Institute but ended up in jail after Keira exposed his illegal dealings with research drugs.
