---
The Horton residence was cloaked in tension as Mr. Horton's car disappeared down the driveway. Old Mrs. Horton's warm smile had vanished the moment he left, replaced by a frown that cut deep into her weathered face. She turned to Keira, her eyes sharp as daggers.
"Did that brat go to the hospital again?" she demanded, her voice trembling with barely suppressed anger.
Keira tried to smooth things over, but old Mrs. Horton wasn't having any of it. She knew her grandson too well – that boy always put personal relationships above everything else. And she had heard from Fiona about how Keira had hurried off with him earlier that morning.
"I didn't arrange for you to marry that brat so you could be mistreated," old Mrs. Horton declared, her voice rising. "You don't have to play the devoted wife while he runs off to another woman!"
She turned to Fiona, ordering her to prepare the car. She was going to the psychiatric hospital herself to see what tricks that little woman was up to!
But Keira's hand caught her arm. "Grandma..."
Old Mrs. Horton looked back at her granddaughter-in-law, and what she heard next made even her composed heart skip a beat.
"Madeleine jumped off a building," Keira said quietly.
Silence hung heavy between them. Old Mrs. Horton stood frozen, her mind struggling to process the news. She had initially dismissed it as another trick, but Keira's steady gaze told her it was true. Madeleine was still in the ICU, hanging on by a thread.
"Why would it come to this?" old Mrs. Horton whispered, her voice cracking. "Why can't she move on?"
Both women were strong individuals, forged by life's hardships. Neither of them could understand Madeleine's choice. But Keira didn't want to speak ill of her, so she simply helped her grandmother-in-law into the yard.
What neither of them saw was Oliver, lurking around the corner, his eyes gleaming with malicious delight. He had overheard everything.
Slinking to a secluded spot, Oliver dialed Selena's number. "Selena, you really do have divine foresight! Lewis's old flame – that little Davis woman – she jumped off a building!"
But Selena's casual response caught him off guard. "Dad, I've known about it since yesterday."
She had been keeping an eye on Madeleine, and she had even bribed a nurse to get doctors' chat records. Oliver's eyes lit up – this was the perfect opportunity!
"Blow this matter up," Selena instructed. "Take it to the court of public opinion."
Oliver was overjoyed. He had been suppressed by Lewis for too long, and several of his counterattacks had been easily dissolved by Keira. If he could force the two to divorce and make Lewis marry that lunatic, Lewis would lose an ally and gain a burden. Then Oliver would finally have the qualifications to contend with his nephew!
With malicious intent, Oliver edited the recorded conversation, twisting its meaning completely, and uploaded it to the internet.
Meanwhile, Keira's phone buzzed with a message from Samuel. "Boss, please take a look at this post. What's going on?"
She opened the link and saw the doctored recording. The comments were flooding in, slandering Lewis as a scumbag who callously abandoned Madeleine and labeling Keira a homewrecker. She immediately instructed Samuel to suppress the trending topic, but Samuel informed her that Tom had already handled it – likely under Lewis's orders.
Then Samuel added her to a group chat with him, Tom, and Lewis. A video call came through, but Lewis didn't answer. Only Tom joined.
"What exactly is he thinking?" Samuel demanded, his voice hot with anger. "Why is he at the hospital with that woman?"
Tom sighed. "Miss Olsen, please don't misunderstand. My boss's sense of responsibility is with Madeleine, but his true love is for you."
Samuel scoffed. "True love? Then how can he watch my boss being vilified as a homewrecker? How can he still be at the hospital at a time like this?"
Tom explained that Miss Davis once saved Lewis's life when they were children, so he felt obligated. Samuel pressed for details, but Tom admitted he didn't know the specifics – he had only guessed from what Miss Davis usually said.
"Is that Miss Davis really mentally ill?" Samuel asked.
"Yes, she has severe claustrophobia and autism. My boss is her only redemption and hope for life."
Samuel fell silent. As a man, he understood the weight of a life-saving debt. But Madeleine's latest suicide attempt – Lewis couldn't just watch her die, could he?
Keira listened, her heart heavy. She instructed them to investigate who was behind the public opinion attack, and Tom confirmed it was the first branch of the family. She ordered them to suppress it firmly.
But Samuel sneered. "The trending topic may have been suppressed, but now someone is broadcasting live from the hospital!"
Keira opened the live broadcast. Through the window, she could see Madeleine holding Lewis's hand, refusing to let him leave. The journalist was spewing venom, painting Lewis as heartless and Keira as the other woman.
She turned off the broadcast, but the image of Lewis's back – once solid as a mountain, now on the verge of being crushed – lingered in her mind. She felt sorry for him.
The night deepened. Madeleine's condition stabilized, and Lewis finally returned to the Horton residence. But he didn't get out of the car. He lit a cigarette, the doctor's words echoing in his mind: "Miss Davis's will to live is very weak. If you really are not coming to accompany her any further, then there is no need for further rescue..."
He took a long drag, then finally got out of the car.
When he entered his bedroom, he saw a familiar silhouette sitting on the sofa in the dim light. Keira's voice floated through the darkness, faint but certain.
"Let's get a divorce."
At the same time, the courier who was delivering the jade ring on Keira's behalf finally arrived at 76 Glow Village. He had been delayed by a meal at a rest area, and now he stood before the imposing grand estate, his heart pounding.
He knocked on the door. The servant who answered frowned at his question. "Stubborn Five? Never heard of that name!"
But the courier refused to leave. He had promised his boss to deliver the package, and he would keep that promise.
Mr. Horton, who had just entered the courtyard, heard the commotion and came over. When the servant mentioned "Stubborn Five," his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Who?" he asked, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Stubborn Five!"
Mr. Horton immediately became excited. He knew that name – it was the name Lewis had gone by as a child, the name he used when waiting for letters from someone special. He had been waiting for this package for years!
"Make another trip," Mr. Horton instructed the courier. "Take it to Lewis!"

Oh, this chapter was an emotional rollercoaster! Keira's quiet strength as she says "let's get a divorce" absolutely broke my heart. She's not doing it because she doesn't love Lewis – she's doing it because she loves him too much to watch him drown in guilt. And Oliver's scheming in the background makes my blood boil! The cliffhanger with the package arriving at the old house has me on the edge of my seat. I can already feel the truth about to unravel.
