Chapter 351

….

Keira rushed to the rooftop entrance, trying to push through the crowd, but someone blocked her way.

“Miss South, Miss Allen wanted to jump off the building because of you, what are you going to do now? Aren’t you going to make things worse for her?”

The speaker was Frankie’s assistant.

As soon as he said this, it confirmed many speculations, and everyone turned to look at Keira.

“What is the grievance between her and Miss Allen?”

“What’s going on with this woman? She drove Miss Allen, a prominent figure of the Allen family, to jump off a building… This is outrageous!”

“Right, and now she still insists on pushing forward. Is it because she thinks Miss Allen isn’t jumping fast enough?”

Amidst the noise of the crowd, Victoria and Ellis, hearing the news, also hurried over.

Ellis immediately scolded, “What nonsense are you talking about?!”

But Victoria said, “Ellis, actually, they’re not wrong. Miss Allen has been targeting Keera, and because of the choice of Mary’s bridesmaid, there was an unpleasant incident this morning.”

Having said this, Victoria looked directly at “Keera” and sighed. “Keera, Miss Allen is already somewhat frail, but you keep making her angry… How good it would have been if you were more considerate of her today?”

With these words, everyone was misled to believe that it was “Keera” who deliberately provoked Rebecca.

Ellis also frowned. Although he wanted to defend “Keera”, he couldn’t be too biased. “What is the conflict between them?”

Victoria then said, “I’m not very clear. I only know she upset Miss Allen today. When Miss Allen asked her to leave, she smashed a chair and even threatened us…”

After saying this, she quickly added. “Also, I think I saw her flirting with Mr. Allen. I don’t know what they were talking about, something about collaboration, I guess, and then it upset Miss Allen…”

Hearing this, Ellis immediately looked at Keira. “Are you really that short on cash? After collaborating with the Olsen family and the Davis family, haven’t you had enough projects? Why go out of your way to provoke Miss Allen?”

Ellis knew about Rebecca’s condition and felt some sympathy for her, hence his tone was somewhat harsh.

Keira couldn’t be bothered to argue with them here and just looked ahead of her. “Let me through. I can save Rebecca!”

“Miss South, you are so rude! You’re calling Miss Allen by her first name. Are you that close to her?”

Victoria’s remark caused everyone to turn their eyes on Keira, their looks filled with condemnation.

“Exactly, is Miss Allen’s name something you can just call out?”

“Don’t think that just because your best friend married Mr. Ellis, you can rise above your station and become part of the five great families.”

“Check your own status. You’re completely shameless…”

Keira was speechless.

She took a deep breath and said, “Whether we’re close or not, it’s none of your business. I’ll say it again, move aside!”

Victoria looked at Ellis. “Ellis, do you see? This has been her attitude since this morning. She’s so arrogant. It’s no wonder she made Miss Allen so angry…”

Ellis frowned, about to say something, but Keira had already stepped forward, preparing to bypass him.

But at that moment, Ellis grabbed her arm. “Keera, you…”

“Rebecca wants to jump because of me, and only I can save her. Any further delay could cost her life!”

Keira whispered furiously.

That anxious look, for some reason, reminded Ellis of Keira back in Oceanion…

Though they shared the same face, Keira’s eyes always held a cold and brisk sharpness, whereas Keera always seemed delicate and fragile…

Now, the look in her eyes overlapped with that of Keira’s…

This made Ellis unable to help believing the person in front of him, “…I’ll go with you.”

“Okay.”

Keira followed Ellis onto the rooftop door.

Seeing this, Victoria immediately followed behind the two. “Ellis, I want to go and see. I have some connection with Miss Allen…”

The building had 68 floors, and stepping onto the rooftop, a gale hit them full in the face, making one feel as if they were staggering and about to be blown away.

Victoria paused slightly, frightened.

Once she had adapted to the wind, she chose to continue following behind the two.

Keira anxiously scanned the surroundings, searching for Rebecca’s figure…

There were many structures on the rooftop that blocked the view, but Rebecca’s location was easy to find because, at that moment, she was shouting loudly.

The delicate girl, even in hysteria, had a voice that sounded light and airy.

Her crying mixed with grievance came through. “Frankie, even you have deceived me. Are you collaborating with her because she looks a lot like Miss Keira?! Tell me, have you transferred your affection for Miss Keira onto her!”

Then came Frankie’s anxious voice. “Rebecca, I was wrong. I won’t work with her, okay? Please come back here!”

“I won’t!”

Rebecca roared. “You liar! Today, when picking up the bride, you brought her to the hotel. You’ve just channeled your little fondness for Miss Keira onto her. You’re not my brother; I’ll never trust you again!”

“Rebecca! I didn’t! Let me explain…”

“I won’t listen, I won’t! I don’t want to see her again. Frankie, if even you and our parents are going to forget Miss Keira, if even Lewis Horton is going to forget Miss Keira, then I would rather use my death to make you all remember her again!”

Rebecca shouted hysterically. “She just passed away a month ago, a month! Lewis Horton has found a substitute, and both you and Ellis have shifted your focus to Keera. But she’s not Miss Keira, she’s not! How can you all so easily transfer your love? How could you be worthy of Miss Keira?! Frankie, think about it! When you see her, don’t you feel like you’re seeing a shadow of Miss Keira?”

Her accusation caused Frankie to pause for a moment.

Frankie didn’t respond.

Then Rebecca let out a bitter laugh. “Right, I figured. Because I saw it too… How could I see the shadow of Miss Keira in someone else? If Miss Keira were still here, she would find that, in just a month, that woman has become her husband’s lover, her subordinate’s boss… that woman has almost completely replaced her. How devastated Miss Keira must be?!”

Frankie’s eyes reddened.

Even Ellis, who had followed them, paused slightly.

It seemed he was reminded of Keira, and a shade of sorrow surged in his eyes.

That proud figure was an irreplaceable presence in his heart… she was also his own cousin!

How could he allow the appearance of Keera to dilute the grief of Keira’s departure?
