Jenkins had no idea that Keira wasn't actually Keera, which led her to ask the question.

Erin glanced quickly at Keira before jumping in. "It's… well…"

"I'm not Keera."

Keira interrupted, looking straight at Jenkins. "Keera is my twin sister."

Erin froze, almost gasping in disbelief. Her immediate instinct was to cover Keira's mouth. Who would just blurt out something like that?

Erin shot Keira an incredulous look.

Jenkins was equally stunned, staring at Keira with wide eyes. "You just went ahead and said it?"

Keira nodded. "Since we're allies, I think it's best to be honest."

After her experience with Sean, she had come to terms with the reality of her sister's identity. Keeping it a secret seemed pointless, and it would only lead to holes in her story. Besides, she had no way of truly knowing her sister's history with the South family, which made it easier to reveal the truth. The more people who knew, the easier it would be for her to maintain the disguise.

Erin looked like she was about to explode, glaring at Keira. "And you trust her this much? We just agreed to work together, and you're giving away your biggest weakness? Don't you realize that one slip like this could cost you the entire inheritance battle?"

Keira chuckled. "We're all in this together now. If my cover is blown, it won't just hurt me—it could compromise your goals in Crera's economy too."

Erin was momentarily silenced.
