272 “Their” Secret

Secrets…

Keira knew that Keera carried a secret and so did Jodie

South.

She furrowed her brows.

Then she heard Taylor say softly and slowly, “Keera, the reason I wanted to kill you both was simple. I couldn’t let your mother find out that she gave birth to twins that year!”

Keira was puzzled. “Why? Wasn’t I… wasn’t I supposed to have died and been abandoned at birth? Even if she

found out, so what?”

Taylor was stunned by her words, and he burst into laughter. “Is that what they told you? Ha…”

“They”? Was he referring to Keera’s adoptive parents or someone else?

Taylor continued. “You weren’t abandoned. You were taken away as soon as you were born. I didn’t have the ability to protect you then, but if I had revealed that you were taken, your mom would have gone back and

your existence from her! How could I possibly let her risk her life for… someone else’s child?”

At this point, Taylor glanced at Uncle Olsen.

Upon hearing this explanation, Keira felt like her head was going to explode.

Although she had found the murderer, the situation seemed to have gotten even more complicated…

Taylor continued to speak softly. “Keera, why did you come back? Without you, my life with her would have continued to be peaceful, but you found Keira, and if the truth was revealed, Shirley would surely blame me and leave me! So, the moment you found Keira, I made up my mind to let you both die!”

A hint of madness flickered in his eyes. “Anyone who dares to disturb me and Shirley must die!”

Keira, furious, slapped him!

To conceal the past, had Taylor kidnapped her and Keera? He then threw them into a sunken ship at sea…

If she hadn’t acted decisively, waking Keera and breaking the window, if Keera hadn’t desperately

dragged her from under the water to the surface, perhaps what the Horton family would be burying today would be two corpses!!

Although Keera’s appearance was unexpected, she felt very gentle to Keira.

Even though they had only spent a little time together, Keira had already acknowledged this sister…

While she was thinking about this, Taylor laughed again. He leaned close to Keira’s ear and whispered, “Also, do you know? The fact that Poppy had switched the two children, I implicitly consented to it because I didn’t want Shirley to raise that man’s child! One of her daughters was taken, the other was switched… and this way, Shirley would have no more affection left for the children, and she would only have eyes for me…

Keira clenched her fists tightly and stared hard at him upon hearing his words.

She suddenly picked up the tissues from before and pressed them against Taylor’s face again, enraged, and with tears welling up in her eyes, she smothered him…

Taylor struggled for air, fighting hard.
