661 Chapter 660
As Keira pulled up to the entrance of the Horton estate, she noticed the main gate was already open, and several cars were parked prominently in the driveway.
When the guard saw her approaching, he looked a bit flustered, awkwardly asking, āMiss Olsen? What brings you here?ā
Keira found his reaction odd. āWhy? Am I not allowed to be here?ā
āN-no, thatās not itā¦ I justā¦ā The guard stammered.
āOpen the gate,ā she ordered.
The last time Keira attended an event at the Horton estate, Lewis told the security staff not to stop her at the gate. The guard hurriedly complied, coughing nervously as he spoke again, āUh, Miss Selena has returned home today.ā
Selena Horton?
Wasnāt she the illegitimate daughter of the Horton familyās main branch? Back then, Jake had developed a prejudice against illegitimate children because of Selena. When they were in Oceanion, Selena made just one move, pushing Madeleine into the spotlight, and it almost led to a divorce between Keira and Lewis.
After that, Keira began living under the identity of her late sister, Keeraā¦
Lewis had been left a grieving widower. Then, word got around that Selena had married someone in Clance, but Keira hadnāt kept up with the details.
Wasnāt Selena supposed to be with some distant relative of the Gills? That guy worked at the Nora Institute but ended up in jail after Keira exposed his illegal dealings with research drugs.
Who did Selena marry after that?
Keira hadnāt paid much attention, but judging by the way the household was preparing for her visit, it seemed she married well.
Still, that didnāt explain the strange way the guard was looking at her.
āWho else is here?ā Keira asked, her curiosity piqued.
āUmā¦ thereās also her good friend, Miss Eve Clark,ā the guard mumbled.
Eve Clark? The name rang a bell.
While Keira was pondering, a voice suddenly chimed in from the back seat, āYou mean the philanthropist, Eve Clark?ā
Keira turned sharply to see Erin lounging in the back seat, munching on a bag of pistachios, her expression one of pure amusement.
āWhat are you doing here?ā Keira demanded.
Erin just grinned. āYou didnāt want me running wild at the Olsen estate, so I figured youād prefer me sticking close to you. That way, you can keep an eye on me, right?ā
Keira was baffled. āWhat?ā
Erin cracked another pistachio and turned to the guard, āSo, this Eve Clark, does she have anything to do with Keira? Let me guessā¦ā
She didnāt wait for an answer, launching right in, āEveās this big-shot philanthropist, runs a bunch of charities across the country, and everyone loves her. But sheās still single, and last time a reporter asked about it, she said sheās only ever loved one personāthe guy she met while studying abroad.ā
āCrunch!ā Erin spat out a shell and continued, āI did some digging, and guess what? That guy she was into? Pretty sure it was Lewis Horton. Heh.ā
Erin shot Keira a knowing look. āYou donāt think Lewis tags along behind you just because heās got nothing better to do, do you? The manās got admirers, too, you know. So, how about it? Feeling any jealousy yet?ā
Keira didnāt know what to say.
She almost rolled her eyes at Erinās antics. Instead, she turned back to the guard. āSo, can I go in or not? Because if not, Iāll just call Lewis to come get me.ā
The guard immediately smiled apologetically, āOf course you can go in, Miss Olsen. Iāll open the gate right away.ā
He cleared his throat awkwardly as he opened the gate.
Keira drove on into the estate, with Erin taking in the sights like a tourist. āWow, check out that pond! Itās got some beautiful koi fish in there. Keira, do you think koi tastes good?ā
Keira sighed. āTheyāre for decoration.ā
āBut wouldnāt they taste tender?ā
āā¦ā
āOoh, and look over there! Thereās a date treeā¦ and another one right next to it!ā
Keira shot her a glance. āYou could just say there are two date trees.ā
āNope! Iām quoting a great Creran author! Whatās his name again? He was like the Creran version of Keats!ā

Keira could hardly contain herself. āYou mean the Creran version of Tolstoy?ā
āKeats, Tolstoy, same difference.ā Erin looked genuinely confused. āWhatever, the point is, are the dates on those trees any good?ā
Keira heard the sound of pistachio shells being discarded and looked into the rearview mirror. To her surprise, Erin had brought a small paper bag to use as a trash bināshowing a surprising level of consideration.
Keira couldnāt help but raise an eyebrow. She then parked the car in the lot.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Erin jumped out and began inspecting the surrounding vehicles. āThat Maserati definitely isnāt Eve Clarkās. After all, people involved in charity are usually modest, and that car is way too flashy.ā
Erin continued to casually survey the other cars and then shrugged. āThe cars in this parking lot are all pretty expensive, so itās clear that Ms. Eve Clark must come from a distinguished background. Tsk tsk, Keira, looks like youāre up against some serious competition this time!ā
