“It does”?”

Keira’s curiosity was piqued. “How so?”

Frankie thought of his parents’ concern and said, “This

isn’t a matter that can be explained in a few words. It seems to involve issues from the older generation. My father knows more about it, so it’s better for you to discuss it with him in person. I heard from Rebecca that you have an appointment to meet him tonight. After the event, shall we go see my parents together?”

“All right.”

Keira wasn’t in a hurry.

Frankie looked at her and asked, “I heard you are Mrs. Horton?”

Keira raised her eyebrows. “So?”

Frankie suddenly stepped forward, closing the distance between them, and whispered, “I’m not here alone this time. Several young masters from Clance came along for fun. Each of their families has the power to equal or even surpass the Horton family.

How about I introduce you to them later?”

Frankie’s eyes darkened slightly.

Last night, Rebecca dragged him into a long chat, saying that even though Lewis had publicly acknowledged Keira as his wife, there were still some unpleasant murmurs at the party.

They scoffed at Keira’s humble beginnings, saying an illegitimate daughter simply wasn’t a match for the Horton family.

They even said they didn’t want to socialize with such an illegitimate daughter in future lady’s gatherings…

Rebecca was quite worried about Keira, which was why she insisted on him coming to help her.

The group of young masters from Clance brought by Frankie today were his own connections. After introducing them to Keira, she should-at the very least-receive better treatment in the Horton family…

Just as he thought about this, he heard Keira say indifferently, “That won’t be necessary.”

Frankie was slightly taken aback.

Keira then said, “Thanks for your kindness, but it

with people from Clance.”

Frankie frowned with concerns in his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. “That’s his personal bias, Miss Olsen. You should understand that in business, there are no regional distinctions, let alone the fact that the most powerful families and enterprises in Crera are in Clance. If Lewis continues to be obstinate, he’ll sooner

or later be pulled down by the shareholders of Horton Group! As his wife, if you can help him secure relations in Clance, the Horton family will surely recognize you.”

Keira knew Frankie meant well, but she still smiled and said, “There’s really no need for that, thank you.”

Seeing her composed and serene demeanor, free from any impatience, Frankie felt she didn’t understand the struggles of the elite. He started to explain carefully. “As far as I know, the first branch of your family has already started making contacts in Clance, intending to open up the market there and use it to criticize Lewis. Today, this group of rich heirs from Clance suddenly show up in Oceanion, and it seems to be the handiwork of the first branch… I heard it might be through the connections of Mrs. Olsen…”
