So, there was one more person who wanted to see Keira’s marriage certificate.

Holding Mrs. Olsen’s arm, Keira soon arrived at the lounge with Jalen.

Jalen was still muttering, “Has your husband arrived? If he has, let’s show ourselves together later and dispel

Keira ignored their words and pushed open the door of the lounge…

Then she realized it wouldn’t budge.

The door to the lounge was locked from the inside.

Tom personally brought her here…

Keira frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Olsen frowned. “Then let Keira go in and take her bag.”

Isla deliberately put on an apologetic look. “Mom, this room is the exclusive lounge for great-grandmother; I only just found out. Only Horton family members can
