When Keira turned her head to look over, Howard had already grabbed her arm, giving her a wary
nce.

But Keira didn’t speak; instead, she calmly looked at
Tom.
Seeing her determined attitude, Howard tried to please Tom with a smile. “You must be Mr. Davis,
right? Sorry, we came from nce to pay our respects, and
the child wanted milk, but we had no hot water… The child’s mother here… she was looking to see if
you had any water in the house…”
Keira didn’t offer any further exnation, just quietly watching Tom.
To her surprise, Tom nced at her only briefly before immediately saying, “The Horton family has
plenty of hot water. Shall I get someone to bring it over to you?”
Keira frowned slightly.
What did Tom mean by that?
He didn’t recognize her?

Keira was full of confusion and was about to say something, but then she closed her mouth.
At this moment, countless doubts surged up in her heart, making her exceedingly cautious!
Upon further thought, the truth of her marriage had been suddenly revealed, and out of the blue, she
had gained a twin sister.
And soon after Keera met her, they both faced a deadly
threat!
This indicated that the “they” Keera spoke of, who wanted to kill them, had been surveilling her all
along.
Did Tom perceive something? Was that why he didn’t dare acknowledge her?
While she was lost in her thoughts, Howard, in fear, immediately gestured with his hands, his posture
very humble. “Please don’t bother. I’ll just go with you to get
some!”
After saying that, he snatched the feeding bottle from Keira’s hand, about to have Keira wait in the car
when a honking sound came from within the line of cars.
Howard turned around to see that the cars up front

had moved, but theirs was still stationary.
And the cars they were blocking were all expensive luxury cars. How could Howard dare to dy?
Tom also frowned and asked. “Whose car is that?”
He immediately smiled at Tom in a cating manner. “Mine. It’s mine. I’ll go start it right now…”
Tom said impatiently, “Then let your wifee with me to get the water!”
On hearing this, Howard nced at Keira.
He was somewhat worried as he said, “Why don’t I have my mother apany her? She just got
injured a couple of days ago…”
Howard’s mother immediately came down from the passenger seat, smiled at Tom in a fawning
manner, and then grabbed Keira’s arm. “Mr. Davis, let’s go…”

why Tom didn’t recognize her, Howard’s mother sneered. “What were you just doing? You were trying
to cozy up to Mr. Davis, and not even looking at the time! Didn’t Howard tell you on the way here? I
heard Mr. Davis and Mrs. Horton are very close, friends even. He’s in pain right now, so why are you
shamelessly butting in?”
After speaking, Howard’s mother released her arm and scoffed. “Howard said you pretend to be aloof
and dislike socializing, but it seems you’re not averse to mingling. You just haven’t seen a real affluent
family before, have you? When you finally do, you still fawn over them.
“You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Have you seen what you look like right now? You
still have the nerve to approach people! At least wash your face clean, won’t you? Aren’t you
embarrassed?”

Disdainfully curling her lip, Howard’s mother returned to the car with Keira.
On the contrary, Keira was slightly taken aback when she heard this.
“Wash my face?”

Subconsciously, she pulled out her cell phone, using the ck screen as a mirror to take a quick look,
and then froze on the spot.
No wonder Tom didn’t recognize her. Her face was
entirely purple, obviously coated with a thickyer of gentian violet, making her face nearly
unrecognizable…
Only then did she remember, when she had escaped from the underwater boat, floating debris had
struck her body, and there were some cuts on her face, so the solution was applied for disinfection.
Keira was dumbfounded.
Had she been overthinking things all this while, pondering so much, only for it toe to this?

After getting in the car, she first mixed some form
milk for Amy and handed it to her, then using the phone, wiped the solution off her face.
The purple solution must have been applied by a nurse in the hospital two days ago
Having beenatose for the past two days with no one to clean her face, it took her a long while to
wipe off, leaving some traces, but she could at least make out her original appearance somewhat.
As she was doing this, Howard had already driven into the Horton estate.
Security was directing them to park their car in the parking lot, and following Howard, Keira walked

Handling the ledger for the Horton family was the
household’s butler.
The butler’s eyes were also slightly red as he buried his head in the ounting, and Keira and Howard
quickly queued up in front of him.
Howard was a bit nervous and coughed before saying to Keira, “Keera, you’ve never seen this kind of
thing before, right? Don’t be nervous. Just say you’re a ssmate of Mrs. Horton’s when it’s our turn…”
He whispered instructions, and finally, it was their
turn.
The butler asked, “May I know who you are?”

When the butler heard the name, he was slightly stunned and subconsciously looked up. Seeing Keira,
the butler became utterly bewildered, staring at Keira in disbelief, “You, you… Mrs. Horton?”
