149 She’s Mrs. Horton!

Keira walked past Isla and approached Madeleine. Just as she was about to enter the room, Madeleine

suddenly asked, “Who are you?”

Her voice was faint, and she appeared fragile as if posing no threat.

Keira frowned slightly but said nothing.

Isla then said, “Auntie, this is Keira. Didn’t Great-grandma fall ill and mistake her for you? That’s why Mr. Horton has been letting her stay at the house… Now there are all kinds of rumors going around, saying that Keira is my uncle’s mistress…”

“Isla!” Mrs. Olsen warned her, interrupting what Isla was about to say next.

Isla pouted but didn’t continue; however, the meaning behind her words was clear.

Ignoring her, Keira kept her gaze on Madeleine and asked directly, “Miss Davis, right? Are you truly Mrs. Horton?”

She found Madeleine somewhat inscrutable.

Her question was both a probe and an opportunity for her to clarify things.

Isla immediately scoffed. “Keira, you really outdo your mother in attendance. You’re so arrogant before the real deal. Your mom wouldn’t dare to pass gas in front of my mom; if you’re going to be someone’s mistress, at least learn from your mother’s attitudes, right?”

She couldn’t understand why her daughter was being so sharp-tongued and repulsive!

Mrs. Olsen gasped for air and clutched her chest, her body trembling.

Keira, however, paid them no heed and kept her eyes on Madeleine, “Are you going to talk?”

Madeleine looked natrified hu their auarreling Cha

gaped with innocent, doe eyes, bewildered and panicked by everything in front of her. She then replied weakly, “I- please don’t be angry… I’m not in good health. I won’t fight you for anything… As long as Lewis keeps taking care of me, that’s enough… I also want to thank you, for helping take care of Grandma during this time…”

She bowed her head, her fingers idly intertwining. “Lewis is too busy taking care of me and has no time for Grandma. Having you help us stay with grandma, I’m happy, and Lewis is happy too…”
