Keira suddenly appeared, startling Isla!
She immediately looked at Finley with panic written all
over her eyes.
Finley flashed a faint smile, about to speak…
Isla beat him to it. “Keira, what are you doing
eavesdropping on our conversation?!”
Keira’s gaze swept over her and Finley. “Don’t deflect the topic here.”
She looked at Finley. “What truth?”
Keira’s intuition told her that this truth had something
to do with her.
She added. “I can give you money for it.”
Finley’s eyes lit up. “How much can you give?”
Keira looked at Isla and saw her clutching her clothes tightly, completely flustered,
She said indifferently, “Just name your price. I can get

it from the Horton Family.”
Finley’s shifty little eyes flitted about, finally settling on Isla with a beaming smile, “I think you’re not as rich as Isla, right?”
Isla immediately heaved a sigh of relief and told Finley, “I’ll find a way to get you the money you want. You can
leave now.”
Finley chuckled. “Alright then, see you around.”
As he passed by Keira, he paused. “Niece, my secret will always be valuable to you. As long as you can afford the price, I’ll definitely sell it to you!”
With those words, he cheerfully left.
Keira watched him leave, narrowing her eyes.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Samuel on WhatsApp, “Check out Finley.”
Samuel quickly replied, “OK.”
He then sent another message, “Boss, there’s an industry gathering tomorrow. The invitation is in your email. Are you going?”

Keira’s reply was very brief, “No.”
After sending the message, when she looked up again, she saw Isla walking past her with her head lowered.
Keira calmly said, “If you don’t want people to find out, you shouldn’t do anything in the first place. You think I can’t find out about you and Finley?”
Isla froze, then looked up with a smile on her face. “Keira, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t
understand…”
“No wonder despite being Miss Olsen, you’re so strapped for cash. You’re paying him every month. How big of a secret do you owe him?”
Isla quickly retorted, “What nonsense are you talking about? How could I owe him any secret!”
Her eyes flashed with a ruthless gleam. “Keira, I suggest you better figure out your own way out instead of wasting time on me!”
Keira’s face turned cold.
Seeing Isla about to leave, she asked, “Where is
Ponny?”

Upon hearing this, Isla instantly flared up. “That’s your mother, how would I know?!
Isla had been hiding the truth from Poppy after finding out from Finley, pretending that she didn’t know at
all…
That woman was too foolish! She feared that
acknowledging Poppy would lead to Poppy revealing any clues…
Therefore, Poppy had no idea that Isla already knew the truth about her roots.
Leaving those words behind, Isla left.
Keira followed her, eventually arriving at Mrs. Olsen’s
ward.
Through the glass window on the door, it was evident that Poppy wasn’t inside the room.
Keira didn’t go in to disturb Mrs. Olsen. Instead, she left the building.
She called Poppy, “Where are you?”
A panic-stricken voice came from Poppy’s end. “Keira,

what are you trying to do?”
“I want you to come back and apologize to Mr.
Horton.”
The voice of Poppy suddenly grew shrill. “I won’t! Mr. Horton won’t let me off the hook! You apologize to him for me! You’re my daughter, and a daughter should pay
for the mother’s debt!”
Keira scoffed. “In that case, don’t blame me for calling the police.”
Poppy roared, “Why would you call the police? I’m your mother! The person I tried to hit is you! A mother has every right to hit her child!!”
Keira remained indifferent. “But this time the person you injured is Mr. Horton. Everyone has to pay for
their own mistakes.”
“You ungrateful thing! If I had known this is how you’d treat me, I should have drowned you when you were born! I should have thrown you into a manure pit or sold you to a brothel! You little slut!”
Keira didn’t bother to listen to her any longer. She
