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 ter
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 whole life if she was surrounded by good friends, b 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. Afte all, we all want what’s best for you!”
Mrs. Allen also chimed in, “Rebecca, you indeed wen 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 fiancé 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 w going through the stages of confusion, shock, and fe Although her parents were there to accompany her, they were elders, and there would naturally be a gap i 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 naïve 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 savion
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!
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 beneficia both parties, and Frankie merely proposed Jake see 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 impres
of her.
When Isla claimed to be that person, he unwittingl 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.
