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

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.

“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
