Chapter 469

….

Keira frowned, her eyes lighting up. If she wasn’t mistaken…

Suddenly, she turned to Helen and said, “Auntie, I just remembered something urgent. I need to go.”

Helen was taken aback, “Keira, you…”

Before she could finish, Keira was gone.

Lady Gill watched her leave and couldn’t help but scoff, taunting Helen. “Do you see? The younger generation nowadays is something, isn’t it? You said she came here to apologize, but she clearly doesn’t take me seriously!”

Helen immediately said, “Keira isn’t that kind of person. Sam has always been the kindest, and his daughter wouldn’t be any different! Sister-in-law, do you want to get into a feud with the Olsen family over Jackson?”

The Gill family’s conflict with the Olsen family would affect both sides. Nobody would benefit from it. Rumors were already flying, suggesting that a war was about to break out between the two families. The Olsen family’s shares were slowly declining. But weren’t the Gill family’s shares suffering as well?

Helen tensed her jaw. “Has it come to this?”

Lady Gill sighed. “I’ve said it. Jackson helped me find information about Barbara, and I can’t ignore him. No matter how much of a scoundrel he is, the first branch of the family must repay him for this favor!”

Helen then sighed. “Sister-in-law, there’s something you might not want to hear. This whole time, it has all been Austin and Jackson’s fault. I won’t comment on Jackson, but you should discipline Austin properly. Otherwise, I don’t know what else might happen! Today, I managed to bring Keira here to apologize because she respected me, but if you don’t start disciplining your children… the next time they clash with Keira, the Olsen family might not be so civil!”

After leaving those words, Helen turned and walked toward the exit. She suddenly stopped as she reached the door, turning back to look at Lady Gill. “Sister-in-law, there’s one more thing. I’m not sure whether I should speak of it. Among the girls they’ve been bullying, there’s a girl named Nara, and she’s such a pitiful girl. While defending their mistreatment of Nara, have you ever considered what kind of life Barbara might be living now? Nara is about the same age as Barbara. If Barbara had encountered people like your family, how desperate would she be?!”

Those words made Lady Gill sit up straight. She tensed her jaw, glaring at Helen as if the words she had just spoken were a vicious curse!

Helen sighed. “Put yourself in their shoes. You should work on good karma, even just for Barbara’s sake.”

Lady Gill clenched her fists tightly, sneering. “How can that lowly person be compared to my Barbara? Don’t be ridiculous!”

Helen shook her head slightly. “I know, back then, some pauper kidnapped Barbara, and that’s why you’ve looked down on those people for so many years. You think they have bad nature in their bones. That’s why you pay no heed to Austin and Jackson bullying people experiencing poverty, but it’s not the fault of those people as a whole; it’s the human traffickers! Sister-in-law, you…”

“You needn’t say more,” Lady Gill scoffed. “Those people have no bottom line when it comes to money. Why do you speak for them? If they had a bottom line, how could they kidnap someone else’s child?!”

Lady Gill’s statement came out strident and loud, the roar carrying a chilling undertone. For so many years, she had never let go of this anguish; Barbara’s kidnapping was the greatest wound in her heart!

Seeing her reaction, Helen knew it was useless to say anything more and left silently with a sigh. She had seen her sister-in-law’s stubbornness many times over the years.

The Gill family used to participate in charity funds, but for many years, Lady Gill had refused even to pretend that she cared. She said, “Why should I support the paupers? Isn’t their poverty caused by their laziness?”

In her eyes, they were rotten to the core and devoid of kindness. They deserved to live like animals!

Thinking of this, Helen headed straight for the parking lot.

…

Keira left the Gill residence and immediately hailed a cab, going straight to Nara’s house.

Unfortunately, neither Nara nor Matias was home, so she called Matias. “Where are you guys?”

Matias replied, “I’ll be home shortly.”

“Alright, I’ll wait for you,” Keira answered calmly.

In less than ten minutes, Matias arrived, limping back home.

Keira immediately glanced behind him and asked, “Where’s Nara?”

Matias said, “She’s gone to the market. We had some good news today. The Nora Research Institute hired her, and we decided to make something delicious tonight to celebrate! When she heard you were here, she went out to buy some chicken wings! Nara’s chicken wings are exceptional! She insisted you try them!”

Keira was pleased to hear how relaxed Matias sounded and was happy for them, but she hadn’t forgotten why she came here. She took out her phone and showed Matias the jade pendant advertisement the Gill family had put out. “Do you recognize this jade pendant?”

Seeing it, Matias looked taken aback. “Isn’t that Nara’s?”
