As Lewis spoke, everyone was stunned.

Mrs. Olsen paused mid-step, then spun around, looking at Keira with disbelief etched on her face.

She was utterly astonished, her eyes filled with incredulity.

“Mrs. Horton looks absolutely stunned…”

Oliver frowned and immediately said, “Lewis, what do

At his words, the Horton family patriarch, Nathan, also stepped forward.
