Isla immediately changed her tone. “I’m on my way to the hospital to visit Keira with my mother. I’ll ask her to put some pressure on Keira so she’ll confess her guilt as soon as possible. After I’m done with all this, I’ll come to see you, okay?”

Connor finally smiled. “Alright, I’ll wait for you tonight.”

After all these preparations, there was a sound at the door. Mrs. Olsen walked in with Isla and Taylor Olsen.

Upon entering, Mrs. Olsen’s eyes were immediately on Keira. Seeing her looking as usual, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to her. “Keira, are you
