When Lewis heard those words, his face darkened.

Keira let out a small laugh. Oh, so this is how they were going to treat her?

Old Mrs. Horton frowned and snapped, " I was wondering why you were acting so kind, and now I see. Selena, let me tell you something: a bastard child will always be a bastard child. Don't think you can just take over what's not yours. I may not be Jake's biggest fan, but at least he's my legitimate great-grandson. And you? I haven't even acknowledged you!"

Selena's face went pale with anger.

Old Mrs. Horton waved a hand. "I'm tired. You can leave."

Selena took a deep breath, clearly wanting to say something, but before she could, Keira stepped forward with a cold smile. "Are you walking out on your own, or do I need to throw you out?"

Selena stood up straight and glared at Keira. "I'll go on my own."

She shot Keira a nasty look as she stormed out. When she passed by Lewis, she couldn't help but say, "Uncle Lewis, Eve didn't marry Jake. She's still in love with you. Maybe you should think about that…"

"Get out."

Lewis said the words so coldly that Selena actually flinched before rushing out of the house.

Old Mrs. Horton overheard the exchange and turned, smiling when she saw Lewis and Keira. "Oh, you two are back."

"Yeah," Lewis replied.
