In the room.
Oliver was helping old Mrs. Horton to the bathroom.
Midway there, she suddenly stopped and looked at him.”Do you know why I like Lewis and not you?” she asked.
Oliver was taken aback. “Grandma, what are you talking about? Have you remembered Lewis now?”
Old Mrs. Horton smiled. “How could I ever forget Lewis?”
Oliver stared at her in disbelief. “What do you mean?”
Realization dawned on him, and he became angry. “So, you've been pretending all this time?”
“Ha!”
Old Mrs. Horton chuckled and let go of his arm. She sighed. “I used to question myself whether it was wrong not to give you and the others a chance for Lewis's sake.”
She shakily reached for her cane. “So, recently, I gave you all a chance.”
Oliver jumped in. “Grandma, we've been sincere with you. Since you've given us a chance, surely you can tell?”
Old Mrs. Horton replied with a smile. “I can tell you all want me to give you the shares.”
Oliver was taken aback.
“But we are genuine in our intentions! You, as the elder, shouldn't be so biased.”
Old Mrs. Horton sighed. “Oliver, you know, every time Lewis looks at me, there's sincerity in his eyes. All he sees is me, not my shares. But you, your mistress, and that illegitimate daughter of yours, you're all driven by greed. You only see my shares. I'm not so blind that I can't see what you're really like.”
Oliver's anger flared. “What do you mean?”
“From the moment you entered the house at fourteen, I knew we were never meant to be close. Your gaze was too calculating.”
Old Mrs. Horton looked at him. “You only care about the Horton family's wealth but not about the people. You have no real feelings for your father… Even though he has always protected you. He has only ever cared about you.”

Thank you for your hardwork. However, please we need at least 7-10 chapters everyday....
Im getting bored in this story with 2 chapters uploaded daily! Maybe I'll just come back after Keira's done with all the tasks to see what will happen...
What could be the purpose of the tasks given to Keira? Is it a prep for Keira to become the head of South fam or something else?...
Can’t you translate more than two pages per day please? It only took me a few days to get to here and I’m getting bored waiting for more....
