Keira looked surprised, shaking her head. “No, what’s

Mrs. Olsen’s surname was South.

Keira said, “No, I’m not.”

Mr. Allen frowned, looking disappointed. “Well, maybe I am just imagining things.”

Keira didn’t take it to heart.

“She used to live in Clance, but who knows where she

is now.” Mr. Allen waved his hand. “I haven’t heard from her for years.”

After getting news about the Olsen family from Tom, Frankie came over and said, “Dad, I’m going to visit the Olsens. Their daughter deceived and played me. I need

to talk to them!”

Mr. Allen mocked him. “Our perceptive Frankie actually got tricked.”

He looked at Keira and asked, “What kind of person do

Frankie turned red and didn’t reply.

Mrs. Allen, however, quietly looked at Lewis standing in the distance, sighed softly, and said nothing.
