Taylor’s voice suddenly rose. “Although I have never acknowledged you as my daughter, the Olsen family has raised you. Is this the attitude you use to speak to

His words attracted the attention of the people around them, who then looked over in their direction.

Mrs. Olsen immediately frowned and said, “Mind the

occasion.”

Keira didn’t want to argue here either, so she simply lowered her gaze and stayed silent.

Taylor just snorted coldly. “Seeing her just annoys me. Shirley, let’s go to wish old Mrs. Horton a happy birthday!”

But Mrs. Olsen frowned. “With my health like this, I’d better not go in front of old Mrs. Horton and bring bad luck. You go. I have a few more words to say to Keira.”

Taylor then looked at Keira warily. “Shirley isn’t in good health, so don’t say any nonsense here that will

Mrs. Olsen was taken aback, then coughed lightly., “It’s nothing, just a little relapse.”

Keira was puzzled. “Are you coughing again? Didn’t I give you cough medicine? Haven’t you taken it, or have you finished it?”

After that, she shook her head. “That shouldn’t be the case. The bottle I gave you had a hundred pills; that’s enough for three months.”

Mrs. Olsen said with a smile, “I’m fine, just been
