“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. | 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 calong for fun. Each of their families has the power to equal or
even surpass the Horton family.

How about | 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 sunpleasant 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

seem’s Mr. Horton doesn’t want to interact too much
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 | 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... | heard it might be through the connections of Mrs. Olsen...”

Keira was momentarily taken aback. “What?”
Frankie sighed in resignation. “How can you be so indifferent to the affairs of the Horton family? How many times
has Isla made mistakes? She has posed for unearned merits and even has a criminal record. Why does the first
branch still tolerate her? Do you really think it’s just because she’s pregnant?”
He glanced around to make sure no one was approaching before continuing. “Mrs. Olsen herself made a visit,
and the Horton family accepted Isla because Mrs. Olsen has very powerful connections. This horse racing event
was an agreement reached between Mrs. Olsen and the Horton family! The condition for Jake to marry Isla was
for Mrs. Olsen to introduce the first branch to her connections in
Clance.”
Keira paused for a moment.
Back when Mrs. Olsen personally visited the Horton residence despite being unwell, Keira was there too. She
wasn’t aware of the specifics of the subsequent conversation between Mrs. Olsen and Melissa, but the next day,
Isla and Jake were married, and Isla moved into the Horton residence.

So, it was Mrs. Olsen who had orchestrated this horse race gathering. Was it to introduce Jake to that group of
young masters from Clance?
Her jaw tensed as she began to worry for Lewis.
At the stime, a bitter sadness that she couldn't
quite understand or articulate began to rise in her
chest...
Although Mrs. Olsen didn’t overtly interfere in the conflict between the first branch and Lewis, this move
clearly showed she had taken the side of the first branch to help Isla.
After all...
Isla was her biological daughter, and back then, Keira’'s
relationship with Lewis hadn't been made public.
It was understandable for Mrs. Olsen to help the first
branch.
Her downcast look misled Frankie, who thought she was finally beginning to worry, so he reassured her. “Don’t
worry. With the relationship between Rebecca and you, the Allen family will be your connection in
Clance.”

Keira couldn’t help but smile. “You're getting it the wrong way. | don’t...”
Before she could say the words “need it,” Lewis walked over, having changed his clothes.
He immediately spotted Frankie and Keira.
Keira wore a white riding outfit today, while Frankie was dressed in blue riding attire. The two of them stood
together, and they made a perfect match of talent and beauty.
There was still a touch of warmth on Frankie's face.
A sudden sense of crisis welled up in Lewis's chest, prompting him to hurry over to Keira’s side, grab her hand
from behind, and cast a wary look toward Frankie as he declared his territory. Mr. Allen, you're talking to my wife.
Is there something you need?”
Frankie was perplexed.
He frowned. “It’s nothing serious, just...”
“If it’s nothing serious, then don’t delay our horse riding,” Lewis said coldly, before turning to Keira. “Didn’t you
find horse riding interesting? Letteach
you.”

Keira raised an eyebrow. “Okay.”
Holding hands, the couple prepared to leave, leaving Frankie standing there in disarray!
This couple actually still had the mind to go learn
horse riding?!
Were they here to ride horses today?!
Frankie felt like such a busybody.
No!
Frankie didn’t believe he was a busybody.
Frankie grimaced inwardly and couldn't help but
mutter to himself before shouting out, “You're leaving just like that?”
Lewis paused for a moment and looked back at him,
“Otherwise?”
Frankie frowned. “I can introduce you to speople
from Clance who have chere.”

Lewis's gaze was chilly, “That won't be necessary.”
“Why must you be so stubborn!” Frankie was genuinely a bit angry now. “The Davis family is a different story,
and the other people have nothing to do with you. If

you keep this up, how are you going to hold on to your position as Chairman!”
Lewis's expression remained indifferent, exuding strong, inexplicable confidence. “Whether or not I can hold onto
my position won't affect our two families’
partnership.”
Frankie thought, “That's not what | meant!”
“I see,” Lewis Horton replied, still as frosty as ever, showing no warmth. “Is there anything else, Mr. Allen?”
Seeing his aloof manner, Frankie sighed inwardly.
He understood that Lewis was very sensitive about his
mother’s relatives.
Had anyone been in his shoes, who wouldn't harb
negative feelings toward a birth mother after bein
out of the womb to accelerate a divorce three mo
in advance and barely surviving the ordeal?
As he watched the pair head toward a more secluded corner, he could only remind aloud, “Miss Olsen, don forget
our appointment to look at the photograph tonight.”

Lewis stopped in his tracks, his brows lightly furrowed. “What photograph?”
Keira explained lightly, “Mrs. Allen mentioned there's a photograph related to me; I'm going to have a look.”
Lewis then looked displeasedly at Frankie. “Will he be
there too?”
Keira, somewhat puzzled, said, “Yes.”
Lewis said, “Can't we see it now?”
“We can...”
Frankie smiled.
He slowly took out his phone and opened the photograph he had taken.
In the photograph, a twenty-years-younger Mr. All stood next to a woman who was in her forties yet well-
maintained.
That woman bore a lot of resemblance to Keira!
