Chapter 432 - 431

Chapter 431

Austin looked at Jackson with suspicion, not understanding what was going on.

….

Jackson swallowed hard. “What thing? I’ve never seen it!”

Keira immediately grabbed his collar, almost lifting him off his feet.

Jackson suddenly screamed, “Auntie, look, she’s trying to kill me! This is a blatant bullying of the Gill family!”

Lady Gill glared at Keira.

But Keira didn’t back down at all.

When Nara talked about the pendant yesterday, she hesitated. Initially, Nara seemed reluctant to tell Keira, wanting to avoid troubling her.

But in the end, she still wrote it down and told Keira, which meant the pendant was very important to her!

Nara was never one to trouble others. When she told Keira that Matias was sick last time, Keira asked if they had money for the treatment, and Nara nodded affirmatively.

It wasn’t until yesterday’s visit that Keira discovered Nara’s family was impoverished.

Nara had graduated from college and was an intern with low wages. After paying rent, she barely had enough to live on.

Matias was an Outer Sect Disciple in the Freeman Sect, and the money he got every month wasn’t much, either.

All the savings over the years had gone to Nara’s education…

When Matias got sick, he went to a small clinic…

Therefore, Keira had to help Nara get the pendant back.

Keira told Lady Gill, “That pendant is very important to my friend, so I must return it. I presume Lady Gill wouldn’t object, right? After all, it belongs to someone else!”

Jackson spat out resentfully. “Her thing? Don’t try to scam us here! You’re just stirring up trouble!”

Keira stared at him unflinchingly, her gaze briefly shooting toward the bulge in his groin. She scoffed coldly. “Are you sure you won’t give it back?”

Jackson was frightened by her gaze and suddenly cried out. “I’ll give it back. I’ll give it back!”

It was then that Keira let go of him.

Jackson took a deep breath and said, “I can give it to you, but take a look at me. I’ve already changed into a hospital gown. I don’t have anything on me, but I’ll send someone to deliver it to you once I return!”

Seeing he was wearing a hospital gown and didn’t appear to be carrying anything, Keira didn’t trouble him further. She simply said calmly, “Deliver that object tonight, or I’ll find out which hospital you’re staying at…”

Jackson immediately looked panicked.

Austin then said, “You…”

“Elders are speaking; don’t interrupt at will,” Keira cut him off, silencing Austin.

Austin was speechless.

Keira was indeed the respected Senior Sister.

The respected Senior Sister had special significance within the whole Freeman Sect, so she indeed had the right to refer to herself as an elder.

Austin couldn’t stand the frustration.

Keira took a step back, and only then did these people leave.

After they had gone, Keira finally breathed a sigh of relief, then turned toward James and Kate.

Before she could speak, James rushed to her, “Keera! You, you’re my Senior Sister! You’re so amazing! Come, let’s spar a bit. Let me witness the strength of the Senior Sister!”

“Step aside!” Kate also rushed over, grabbing Keira’s arm with glittering eyes. “Keera, can you teach me how you can be so skilled in martial arts but have such soft skin?!”

Keira was dumbfounded.

“Come on, tell me, I hate those rock-hard muscles the most!”

Keira twitched her lips and glanced at Trevor. “Maybe, it could be because I’m not diligent enough?”

Kate was confused. Trevor didn’t know what to say.

Trevor glared at her. “Kate, don’t listen to her nonsense. She has endured too much inhumane torment since she was little, and that’s why she has developed such great muscles. Normal people can only get them through training!”

Kate asked curiously, “What kind of inhumane torment?”

Uncle Olsen heard this and turned his head, pricking up his ears.

Trevor said, “When I first met her, she wouldn’t say a word to me. Later on, I got friendly with a group of old men and women, taking them to practice Tai Chi every day…”

Keira interrupted him. “You mean dancing in the square, right?”

Trevor was dumbfounded. The rest of the people immediately looked at Trevor, unable to imagine their solemn Sect Leader actually joining a group of people for dancing.

But Keira laughed. At that time, her master only taught her for two hours a day; the rest of the time, he was bored and decided to strengthen the bodies of the old men and women. Initially, he had wanted to train them in martial arts, but in the end, he was led to participate in dancing!

A master of martial arts, twisting his waist alongside a bunch of old men and women, seemed so comical in retrospect!

Trevor coughed. “That’s not important!” He continued. “After I got to know them, some of them knew Keira and told me a lot about her childhood… They said when she was just born, her mother wouldn’t breastfeed her, and she almost starved to death… Later on, she was hardly ever given enough to eat and was made to do heavy labor, and then they would beat her daily, which was light punishment on her. She seemed to frequently have broken arms and legs and was also forced to kneel as a penalty…”

Trevor sighed quietly. “When I heard this, I got so angry. I wanted to rush over and kill that mother, but she stopped me. She said that, after all, she did give her life…”

Trevor still didn’t know the complexities of Keira’s background; he was still at the initial stage.

Keira didn’t explain. Just as she was about to say something, suddenly she heard a deep voice suppressing anger. “And what else?”

Trevor added. “Oh, I also heard that when Keira was about three or four years old, her mom deliberately threw her to human traffickers. Later, it was the police who came knocking, saying they had found her daughter, and she even refused to acknowledge her!”

Trevor looked at Kate. “Would you want such a mom?”

Kate immediately shook her head, then looked at Keira. “Senior Sister, your life was so tough!”

James also said, “No wonder a scumbag could deceive you, it must be because you were too starved for love!”

Keira didn’t know what to say. This guy was confusing her own life with Keira’s. But she didn’t explain too much. “Alright, there’s nothing else. Everyone back to their position!”

Trevor nodded and then suddenly said, “Aren’t we forgetting something?”

“Seems like it… Isn’t there someone we still haven’t dealt with?”

As they were speaking, everyone left at a leisurely pace. Erick Miles, who had been hiding in the crowd trying his best to be invisible, finally breathed a sigh of relief!

Gosh… He had already paid the price for his past assistance to Jackson in committing wrongful deeds!!

Lady Gill left the building with her people and suddenly looked at Jackson. “What did you take from that girl?”
