148 Lounge

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

those rumors…”

Mrs. Olsen also nodded. “That’s what Keira means.”

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.

This lounge was specially prepared for old Mrs. Horton, but the old lady was in the front hall, so who

could be in there?

Just as she was thinking, she heard a “click” as the door opened, and Isla, dressed in a pink gown, walked out.

brows. “Mom, Keira, what are you doing here?”

Keira raised her brows, and Mrs. Olsen explained, “Keira’s bag is inside, so we came to get it…”

“Then you might have to wait a moment.”

Isla’s smile was especially brilliant as she looked at Keira and slowly said, “Mrs. Horton is inside changing her dress!”

Keira was slightly stunned, “Who?”

Isla’s smile grew even more brilliant, “Mr. Horton’s wife, Mrs. Horton, of course! To personally brought her here and even asked me to prepare a gown for her. Didn’t I tell you already? Tonight, Mr. Horton will reveal who his wife is…”

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
