Keira gazed at the text message, offering a dry smile.

She had always had a good memory. That day when she called Rebecca’s brother, he introduced himself as Frankie Allen.

She hadn’t paid much attention then. Now, putting all the coincidences together, she could confirm that Mr. Allen, who worked with Horton Group, had a sister named Rebecca Allen.

What a coincidence.

She replied to the message. “Alright, on my way now.”

The atmosphere in Rebecca’s hospital room was tense at this moment.

Frankie Allen held his mobile phone and saw the reply from the other party. Only then did he turn his head toward his sister, who was still lying on the hospital bed without moving a muscle.

Her little face was pale, and she was curled up on the bed.

Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen were anxiously pacing around the room, “Rebecca, how will you get better if you refuse to cooperate in therapy? Please accept the treatment, will you?”

Rebecca, however, was stubborn. “Unless you allow me to see Miss Olsen, I won’t undergo any treatment!”

Frankie frowned.

He knew that his sister had been overly protected since childhood, which resulted in her becoming headstrong.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have eloped with her boyfriend back then.

A pure-hearted person like his sister would be safe her whole life if she was surrounded by good friends, but if surrounded by bad people, like her ex-husband, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, Frankie would forcefully interfere with her friendships and wouldn’t let her meet “Miss Olsen” again.

Mr. Allen, being a doting father, looked directly at Frankie. “Did you call Miss Olsen?”

Frankie had just been forced to reply to his sister’s message. Fuming, he responded to his father, “Yes, I called her.”

Mr. Allen then hurriedly inquired, “Will she come?”

Rebecca also looked at him with anticipation.

Frankie took a deep breath, “With an opportunity to grant favors like this, how could she possibly not come? She says she’ll arrive soon.”

Rebecca’s eyes twinkled upon hearing his words.

Mr. Allen also heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that his son wasn’t pleased, he took the initiative to scold Rebecca, “Rebecca, you really are stubborn this time! Your brother is never wrong in judging people. After all, we all want what’s best for you!”

Mrs. Allen also chimed in, “Rebecca, you indeed went too far. Our family’s relationship with the Horton family is complicated. If it weren’t for the fact that we were exclusively working with the Horton family on this project, I would have never wanted to associate ourselves with them again. The Horton family has humiliated your aunt in the past, our relationship with them has always been complicated, especially with the main branch, which is at odds with Lewis Horton…”

She took a deep breath, “Even if the relationship is terrible, Lewis is still your aunt’s biological son. Now we are helping the main branch of the Hortons to repay this favor. It simply doesn’t make sense. Don’t blame your brother for being callous. Miss Olsen is invited to accompany you. All these are favors that he has to repay.”

But Rebecca looked at them. “Miss Olsen isn’t that kind of person! As my brother said, she simply introduced her fiance to my brother. Maybe that was all to it!”

Her parents and brother couldn’t understand the feeling she had. She was saved on the brink of death, and Miss Olsen was like a savior!

She had suffered the betrayal of her husband and was going through the stages of confusion, shock, and fear. Although her parents were there to accompany her, they were elders, and there would naturally be a gap in their thinking.

Moreover, Rebecca had her own pride.

She didn’t want her parents to see her weakness because it reminded her of how errant her decision was back then…

She also had the desire to confide, to find someone she thought she could rely on to pour out the pain in her heart.

The person she trusted the most at the moment was Miss Olsen…

Listening to her naive words, Frankie scowled. “In business, people don’t express their intentions directly. Having interacted with so many people, it’s clear to me what her intentions were. That blatant scheming expression on her face was downright tacky!”

At that time, Isla almost had her intentions pasted on her face.

Rebecca became agitated. “You must have misunderstood. Miss Olsen isn’t that kind of person! Brother, I don’t want to hear you badmouth my savior anymore!”

Mr. Allen quickly added. “Alright, your brother was just warning you. Je did invite her over, didn’t he?”

Mrs. Allen also didn’t say anything more. After all, their daughter’s health was the most important.

Frankie had been forced by his parents to send the message. At this moment, he felt nothing but anger. He turned and walked out of the room.

Mrs. Allen asked, “Where are you going?”

“Work.”

Frankie walked straight out of the door. If he stayed any longer, he was afraid his recalcitrant sister might enrage him to death! Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Moreover, he had just prevented Lewis Horton from visiting the room. He had to go explain to Lewis Horton himself.

Lewis wasn’t someone easy to deal with.

The collaboration with Horton Group was beneficial to both parties, and Frankie merely proposed Jake see to this project, so the request wasn’t outrageous, and Lewis Horton was willing to comply.

However, Frankie wouldn’t dare to be excessive, and Lewis Horton wouldn’t allow it either.

Although the two might not have a cordial relationship because of their elders, when it came to project collaboration, they had a mutual understanding.

With a gloomy face, Frankie strode to the elevator.

Ding.

As the elevator door opened, a stunning woman came out.

Even though Frankie wasn’t in a good mood, he couldn’t help but glance at her.

Upon looking at her, he paused a little.

This woman looked somewhat familiar.

On the night when Miss Olsen saved Rebecca, her hair was disheveled and covered her face, so Frankie didn’t get a good look at her. He only had a vague impression of her.

When Isla claimed to be that person, he unwittingly merged the vague image in his mind with her.

Therefore, upon seeing Keira, apart from feeling familiar, he had no other thoughts.

He brushed past Keira, stepped into the elevator, and headed for the ground floor.

Keira did glance at him but didn’t say anything.

Thinking of him siding with Jake inside the Horton Group, she found it quite annoying.

Keira entered the ward.

After seeing her, Rebecca’s mood improved greatly. After chatting with Keira briefly, she agreed to undergo rehabilitation training.

Mr. Allen and Mrs. Allen looked at her from the side and quietly discussed among themselves.

“Miss Olsen’s eyes are clear. She doesn’t look like those flatterers, right?”

“I also think so. Does Frankie have issues judging people?”

“No way, our son has been accurate all these years. Or maybe she’s too good at hiding…”

Keira then received a call, and the person on the other end mentioned that they were from the police station. They stated that Rebecca’s husband and mother-in-law were part of a murder case, so they needed to double-check the statement. They wanted her to go to the police station to give a more detailed statement.

Keira said, “No problem. I’ll be on my way.”

Meanwhile.

Not long after leaving the hospital, Frankie received a call from the police station. “Mr. Allen, we need you to handle some formalities for your sister’s case. Do you have time to come over now?”

Frankie answered with an icy voice, “I’m on my way..”
