305 Adultery

Keira never knew that an embrace could be so warm, bestowing a sense of security in one’s heart.

At the moment of the hug, she even felt as though her

hollow heart had been filled.

Even women who were always strong and independent sometimes needed consolation and companionship.

She rested her head on his shoulder.

The two quietly leaned on each other.

Lewis’s deep voice reached her ears. “Keira, is that

you?”

His voice carried uncertainty.

Keira sighed inwardly, ready to confirm her identity when suddenly a commotion erupted from the doorway.

The nanny she hired was shouting, “What are you

doing? This is the South family’s home. How can you trespass like this?”

Then came Howard’s mother’s loud and aggressive voice. “What South family? Who are you? Where’s Keera? You’re blocking us from entering. Is she inside. fooling around with some other man?”

Howard also angrily rebuked, “Get out of the way! I’m Keera’s husband, and I’m here to settle the score with

her!”

How could a single nanny fend off these two hooligans?

The sound of footsteps drew closer, and Keira hurriedly pushed Lewis away, pointing to a room on the first floor where the nanny took Amy to play.

Lewis’s gaze grew deeper, but he didn’t move.

Keira immediately clasped her hands together in a

pleading gesture.

The girl’s eyes were sharp with no trace of weaknes from just moments ago!

These were clearly Keira’s eyes!

Lewis looked stunned for a moment.

Seeing he wasn’t moving, Keira quickly grabbed his

arm and pushed him into the small bedroom on the

first floor.

Just after closing the door, Howard and his mother stormed in with a formidable presence.

As soon as they entered, Howard’s mother’s gaze fell on her. “Keera, what’s this about a nanny? Where did you get the money to hire a nanny?!”

Keira looked at her. “That seems to be none of your business anymore, doesn’t it?”

Howard’s mother became furious. “How is it not my business? When you divorced Howard, he left with nothing! Did you hide some money? Or did it come from your parents?”

Upon hearing this, Keira scoffed. “Before the divorce Howard should have had his lawyer clarify how mu property I had, right? What, do you regret it now? Considering today is the first day since the divorce, can compromise. Otherwise, all assets would have gone to Howard, and I would only take Amy and be without a penny.”

Her collaboration with Davis Corporation and Olsen Group hadn’t been made public yet.

Upon hearing this. Howard’s mother immediately said.

“Don’t get ahead of yourself! The twenty million debt is from your parents’ company. Don’t think you can leave it to Howard!”

She paused slightly, realizing something. “I get it now. You must have sold your bridal jewelry, right? Keera, you still have debts, and the court will make its judgment tomorrow. Better save whatever money you have rather than spend it. You hired a nanny, but why don’t you just do the household work yourself? The money for hiring a nanny would be better spent on buying me some health supplements!”

During the past month, Keira had been compliant with her, and since it was inconvenient to take money from her own account to avoid attracting attention, Mary had given her several tens of thousands to get by.

With that money, Keira bought Howard’s mother a variety of nutritional products and a lot of clothes.

Howard’s mother was practically spoiled by her like an Empress Dowager!

Keira looked at her shameless demeanor and

responded indifferently, “Since we’re already divorced, you’re no longer my mother-in-law. How I live my life

going forward is none of your concern.”

“You!” Howard’s mother extended her finger. “I did this for your own good. You’re truly ungrateful!”

Seeing that she wanted to say more, Keira cut off her endless chatter. “What did you come here for today?”

Howard said, “You did that on purpose today at the courthouse, didn’t you? You made us lose so much face. Cindy went home with stomach pains, and I want you to go and apologize to her right now!”

Keira looked at him as if he were a fool, feeling like the

whole world had become surreal.

How on earth did Keera go blind and marry such an

unreasonable man?!

She lowered her gaze. “Howard, do you think we’re s husband and wife? Why should I still listen to you?”

Howard was stunned.

Keira then said indifferently, “After the divorce, we have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Howard suddenly stepped forward, grabbing her wrist. “Keera, what do you mean by this? We’re just divorced,

11:34

and you can’t wait to cut ties with me. Do you have another man already?”

His words made Keira chuckle. “Howard, the one who actually has someone else is you. I’ve been at home taking care of our children and your mother, never stepping out of line!”

Howard was speechless.

Keira then turned to look at Howard’s mother. “And you, I’ve always prided myself on being a dutiful daughter-in-law to you. Why did you insist on Howard divorcing me?”

Howard’s mother curled her lips. “Taking care of your mother-in-law is what any daughter-in-law should do.

Even if it weren’t you, any woman Howard marries would treat me well. Do you think you deserve cred Not being able to give birth to a son is your biggest failure!”

Keira’s lips curved slightly. “Any daughter-in-law can take good care of her mother-in-law?”

Howard’s mother tilted her chin up. “Of course, Cindy will only treat me better than you! She was always asking warmly about my well-being, and she’ll take

care of me even better than you in the future!”

“Is that so?”

Keira didn’t argue.

Howard dragged her toward the door. “Stop talking nonsense. I order you to come with me right now to apologize to Cindy. Moreover, I want you to take care of her for a while until the baby settles down, or else I won’t let you off!”

Keira pushed him away forcefully. “Let go of me!”

From inside, the sound of Amy crying came out,

“Mommy…”

But then it seemed like someone had soothed her.

Upon hearing this sound, Howard’s expression changed drastically. “Well, well, Keera, you really did hide someone! That explains why you were so eager t get divorced! You’ve already found someone else!”

Howard’s mother also charged over. “You shameless wretch. You must have found your lover during your marriage. Howard, open the door for me now. I want to see what kind of bastard is willing to take a divorcee like her, with baggage in tow!”

After saying that, Howard’s mother grabbed Keira’s arm. “Howard, go open the door! Catch him and make that man compensate us, otherwise, we won’t let this go today!”

Hearing this, Howard didn’t wait for his mother to tell him what to do; he rushed to the door and was about

to kick it in.

But the door opened from inside.

Immediately, a tall and upright man stepped out.

When Howard and his mother saw him, they were dumbfounded. “Mr. Horton? What are you doing

here?!”
