664 Chapter 663
âHey, let go of me!â
Erin was petite, almost childlike, standing half a head shorter than Keira.
Being held by Keira like this, she had no choice but to shout in frustration, unable to break free.
She struggled fiercely, refusing to let Keira touch her hair. âDonât touch me! Keira, what do you think youâre doing? Let go of me right now. Did you hear me?â
Annoyed, Keira smacked her on the butt, âQuiet!â
Erin froze. Her entire body stiffened, her pupils contracting as she slowly turned to look at Keira in disbelief. âYouâyou just slapped my butt!â
âI sure did! Do I need to pick a special day to do it?â Keira retorted, still holding her hair. âIf you keep moving, Iâll do it again!â
Erin immediately went still, looking at her pitifully.
Keira parted her hair and spotted a scar on the back of Erinâs head. Though it wasnât large, it was noticeableâa fine line that had clearly been there for years.
Keira hesitated, then let go of Erin.
Erinâs eyes filled with tears as she looked at Keira accusingly. âYou actually hit me.â
Keira didnât know what to say.
Seriously? Why did Erin remind her of Amy right now? She even looked a little cute like this.
Keira twitched the corner of her mouth and turned away.
Erin continued to stare at her pitifully. âIf you wanted to check, you couldâve just looked. Whyâd you have to slap my butt? My mom never even did that!â
Keira was speechless.
Erin hiccupped, almost sobbing. âMy dad never did either. Iâve never been hit, not once!â
Keira rolled her eyes.
âYou dared to hit meâŠâ
Keiraâs ears felt like they were going to explode from the noise, so she cut in, âIâm sorry, okay?â
âOkay.â
Erin responded crisply, then immediately went back to munching on pistachios. âCan we go in now? If we donât, weâre gonna miss all the fun!â
Keira rolled her eyes, feeling that Erinâs emotions were on full displayânot at all like Fox!
She nodded and was about to head inside when she overheard Selena speaking, âLewis, Ms. Clark has loved you deeply for years, waiting all this time without getting married. Your late wife has passed away, so why not just forget about marrying Keera, who looks just like herâŠâ
Selena continued with a smile, âEve is such a good match. Marrying her would definitely boost the Horton familyâs reputation and stock valueâŠ
âIn all of Crera, there arenât many as renowned in charity work as Eve. She really is the perfect choice to marry.â
Erin popped another pistachio into her mouth, then leaned in close to Keira, whispering, âDo you think Lewis Horton will agree?â
Keira rolled her eyes. âHe wonât.â
Theyâd been through so much together, even life-and-death situationsâhow could they not trust each other?
Sure enough, as soon as Keira finished speaking, Lewisâs firm voice echoed, âSelena, youâre married now, so stop meddling in my family matters. Who I marry is none of your business.â
Selena immediately looked hurt. âLewis, Iâm just concerned about youâŠâ
Lewis snorted coldly. âYouâd be better off worrying about your brother. Heâs getting older and still doesnât even have a fiancĂ©e. Youâre his sister, after all!â
At that, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Erin exclaimed, âWow, Lewis Hortonâs got a sharp tongue!â
Keira didnât say a word but took two steps forward.
They entered the room.
As soon as they entered, the people in the living room noticed them. Selena Horton was taken aback when she saw âKeeraâ as if she couldnât believe her eyes.
But when Lewisâs eyes brightened, Selena realized who that was and immediately said, âYou must be Miss Olsen, right? You really do look incredibly like my late aunt. If I didnât know she was buried, Iâd think you were her.â
Keira looked at her coldly. âSo youâre saying youâre blind?â
Selena was taken aback.
She then gestured toward Eve Clark. âYou havenât met her, right? Let me introduce you. Sheâs currently the most active charity worker in Crera. The foundation she established has saved countless children and earned her a great reputation all over CreraâŠâ
Keira was about to speak when Erin suddenly piped up from behind her. âSheâs quite famous, but sheâs only second best.â
At that, everyone turned their attention to her.
Erin stepped out from behind Keira, spat out a pistachio shell, and grinned. âWhen it comes to charity, thereâs actually someone else in Crera whoâs even more famous, though no one knows who they are. Ever heard of them?â
The others looked puzzled.
Erin continued, âIâm talking about N, the philanthropist. Seriously, none of you have heard of them? Thatâs pretty sad. Theyâve donated billions to charity organizations over the years, just without ever revealing their name!â
