140 Husband

Although Keira knew that she wasn’t Taylor’s daughter, she was indeed raised as the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family

In the past, she cared a lot about this and even felt

that her blood was tainted.

Under Poppy’s relentless brainwashing, she felt she had let down the Olsen family and Isla.

She recalled that when she was going to leave the Olsen family, Poppy wouldn’t let her go and wanted her to slave away for the family. She knelt for ten grueling hours.

At thirteen years old, she dressed in thin clothes, kneeling in the cold winter.

After a full ten hours, she stubbornly looked at Poppy and asked, “Can I now leave the Olsen family?”

Looking back now, she suddenly felt that her past twenty-something years were actually confined by

Poppy.

Poppy crafted a cage called “illegitimate daughter” and firmly bound her within it.

But how important was a person’s background, really?

Keira had already come to terms with it. She just hadn’t learned to face it openly.

Now, she was finally able to face it.

The whole private room was silent.

Everyone looked at Keira with disbelief, then turned toward Isla and began whispering among themselves:

“Oh my God, are they actually sisters?”

“What sisters? That’s an illegitimate daughter, which means Keira’s mother is ‘the other woman’! If I were
