---
Nara had decided to take a quiet day at home. No phone, no television—just her and a good book in the comfort of her room. She was completely oblivious to the storm brewing outside her peaceful sanctuary.
But peace never lasts long in her world.
The sound of footsteps broke her concentration, followed by someone calling her name. When Nara walked out, she found Mrs. Spencer standing before her, face streaked with tears, eyes wild with grief and desperation.
"Nara, Gary was going to jump off a building for you!"
The words hit Nara like a physical blow. Her mind reeled. No matter how much she disliked Gary, no matter how deeply she resented him for never taking her seriously—in the face of life and death, none of that mattered anymore.
"Where is he? I'll go talk to him!" Nara exclaimed, moving toward Mrs. Spencer.
But Mrs. Spencer grabbed her arm. "There's no need."
"Was he saved?" Nara asked, hope flickering in her chest.
"No." Mrs. Spencer's eyes brimmed with fresh tears. "He's dead."
Nara froze, her entire world grinding to a halt. "What did you say? How could he... How?!"
Mrs. Spencer's voice cracked as she delivered the devastating explanation. "He said you would never forgive him, that he could never be with you in this lifetime. So he didn't want to live anymore."
Tears rolled down Nara's cheeks.
She could never have imagined that Gary loved her so much! If that was truly the case, why had he forced her to become his mistress in the first place? The irony was unbearable.
For a moment, Nara seemed lost in a daze.
Mrs. Spencer pressed further. "Nara, look, Gary did love you a lot, right?"
Through her tears, Nara nodded. "Yes."
"Then why don't you go and join him?"
For a split second, Nara didn't understand what Mrs. Spencer meant. She looked at the older woman with disbelief—and then she saw it. Mrs. Spencer's hand, hidden behind her back the entire time, lunged forward with a knife aimed straight at Nara's heart!
Time seemed to slow down.
Nara's pupils shrank in terror.
Not far away, Keira saw everything unfolding. She felt as though she was so close to Nara, yet those few steps between them had become a matter of life and death. She simply couldn't reach Nara's side in time.
In that moment, Keira's mind raced with terrifying clarity. Was this the work of the person sent by the South family? Had they been subtly guiding Gary and Mrs. Spencer all along? That person knew human nature too well—or rather, they knew Gary and Mrs. Spencer's characters perfectly.
Unable to have Nara, Gary would undoubtedly go to extremes. And Mrs. Spencer, having lost her son, had lost all reason.
Nara's death at the hands of Mrs. Spencer would appear to be a crime of passion—leaving no trace, as if that mysterious person had never existed.
But if Nara were killed, Keira's relationship with the Gill family would never be secured! She would never complete her mission! She would never gain the South family's recognition! She would never save her mother!
Desperation etched across Keira's face as she radiated profound powerlessness. She wished she could teleport to Nara's side, but she was helpless, forced to watch the knife descend...
Nara felt as though she was being controlled, unable to escape. She watched the blade come closer and closer to her chest, feeling the edge of death brush against her soul.
But just when she felt most hopeless, someone suddenly rushed over and pushed her away with incredible force! Then the knife plunged deep into that person's back!
Nara was knocked to the ground.
She looked up in shock at the person standing before her—Austin!
Austin stood there, the knife embedded in his back, while Mrs. Spencer immediately tried to pull it out. But the sharp blade had penetrated bone and wouldn't budge.
Mrs. Spencer was about to try harder when Keira arrived. She kicked Mrs. Spencer away, swiftly subduing her, then turned to look at the siblings.
Austin had a knife in his back.
In such a situation, the body's instinct would be to collapse immediately, protecting the most vulnerable brain and heart. But Austin didn't.
It was as though he didn't feel the knife at all. He still stood there, reaching out to Nara. "Barbara, did you get hurt? I didn't mean to push you..."
His words made Keira want to cry.
Nara finally realized the situation. She scrambled up from the ground and rushed to Austin's side. "Are you okay? Let me see!"
She tried to look at the wound on his back, but Austin stopped her. "I'm fine. Don't look... It'll scare you."
Tears welled up in Nara's eyes as she sobbed. "Let me see. How are you doing?"
"I'm okay..."
But Austin's strength was fading. Eventually, Nara turned him around and immediately saw the knife embedded in his back. The blade was deeply buried, with only the handle sticking out. Blood flowed slowly from the wound, soaking his shirt...
Austin was still trying to cover Nara's eyes. "Barbara, don't look... I'm fine."
As he spoke, his strength slowly left him. He collapsed to the ground, pulling Nara down with him.
Nara cried out in panic. "Austin, are you alright? Don't scare me!"
At that moment, Austin was already in a daze. Gazing at Nara, he suddenly whispered, "Sister, I protected you well this time."
---
Mrs. Spencer was taken to the police station and arrested for attempted murder.
Austin was rushed to the hospital in an emergency. The doctor said the knife had pierced his lung, causing hemothorax—it was uncertain whether he would survive.
Keira accompanied Nara, waiting outside the operating room. Nara stood there, staring at the doors, completely dazed.
After what felt like an eternity, the sound of hurried footsteps and high heels approached—the Gill family had arrived.
Lady Gill and her husband walked in front, followed by Austin's two elder brothers and bodyguards. A whole group of them arrived in a flurry.
Lady Gill immediately demanded, "How is Austin? What happened?!"
Hearing this, Nara seemed to come back to her senses. She stared blankly at Lady Gill, tears streaming down her face. Suddenly, she strode forward and knelt with a thud. "I'm sorry. He got injured trying to save me. I'm so sorry..."
Nara wept bitterly.
Meanwhile, Keira clenched her jaw. At that moment, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw a message from an unfamiliar number: "Idiot! Have you lost so soon? If Austin dies, the Gill family will surely blame Nara! You've just wasted such a valuable pawn! Your mission has failed!"
Seeing this message, Keira frowned.
She suddenly felt it was ridiculous. One man was dead, and another was hanging onto his life in the emergency room. Did that mean nothing to the other party? Were they just tools for her to complete her mission?!
If they could treat human life so heartlessly, she would rather not do such a mission at all!!
Keira clenched her fists tightly and looked at Nara. She stepped forward, protecting the girl. If the Gill family dared to touch Nara, Keira would protect her at the cost of offending the Gill family again!
But just as Keira was thinking this, she saw something unexpected.
Lady Gill suddenly squatted down, hugging Nara. "Barbara, what nonsense are you talking about? He's your brother! It's his duty to ensure your safety!"
Mr. Gill, standing nearby, began speaking with tearful eyes. "Barbara, how could we blame you? If it hadn't been for you, it would have been your brother who got kidnapped by traffickers back then. He owes you his life!"
Austin's two elder brothers stepped forward. One of them sighed. "Austin has been childish. He has mistreated you, but throughout these years, Austin has been searching for you everywhere. Do you know that he would travel every year, not for leisure, but to look for you in other cities..."
Lady Gill wiped away her tears. "We were about to give up, but Austin never did! I know he's a scoundrel and a bastard. He has deeply hurt you... Barbara, I'm not asking you to forgive him or me. Just don't push us away. Let us protect you without disturbing you, okay?"
Hearing those words, Nara looked at them in disbelief. After a moment, she suddenly hugged Lady Gill, weeping aloud, "Mom!!"
Lady Gill gently patted her back. "Barbara, don't cry. Your brother will be fine. I promise!"
Nara immediately nodded.
The two Gill brothers came forward, one holding Lady Gill, the other holding Nara. "Mom, Sister, let's get up and talk."
Nara and Lady Gill stood up, and the family waited together outside the operating room.
Keira stood in the corner, not joining the Gill family. She quietly watched, suddenly feeling that blood relation was a strange thing. It made the villain Austin brave danger to save his sister. But with Mary, her parents could so heartlessly use her as a tool for making money.
Keira sighed and took out her phone. As expected, she saw that the same number had sent another message: "I didn't expect the Gill family's bonds to be like this... Keira, this time you're fortunate in this incident! The Fox's meddling has accidentally helped you resolve the hard feelings between Nara and the Gill family. But next time, you might not be so lucky! Watch out for the Fox!"
Keira frowned. The Fox... who exactly was this person code-named Fox? Was it Susan? Or was there someone else behind Susan? What role did they play in the affairs of the Gill family?
Keira quickly sent a message to Lewis. "Help me interrogate Mrs. Spencer, see if there's any clue about the Fox!"
No sooner had she sent the message than Lewis appeared silently beside her, speaking in a low voice. "I've found some information about the Fox."
Keira immediately walked with Lewis to the end of the corridor near the stairwell. Lewis ensured there was no one around before he spoke. "I used some contacts on my end and interrogated Mrs. Spencer. It turns out she has been talking with someone online known as Fox. The two met on the internet. Mrs. Spencer felt a close bond, and the other party patiently chatted with her, easing her loneliness and helping her deal with solitude. They are best friends..."
Keira's brows knitted together. "Was it this Fox who egged on Mrs. Spencer to separate Gary from Nara?"
Lewis nodded. "Exactly. According to their chat logs, Mrs. Spencer has always been quite indulgent toward Gary. So, after he pestered her for a long time to accept a mute girl as his girlfriend, Mrs. Spencer confided her helpless feeling to Fox, thinking she might eventually give in to her son's wish. It was Fox who urged her to oppose firmly and even suggested that she could use suicide as leverage. Later, when Mrs. Spencer was complaining about her son blaming her, Fox again suggested that Nara could be Gary's mistress, which would end any possibility between Gary and Nara."
Keira clenched her fists. "And Gary's death?"
Lewis nodded. "That was Fox's doing too. Apparently, Gary realized Mrs. Spencer was manipulating him after he saw the chat logs between her and Fox, which led him to resent her and lose the will to live..."
Keira took a deep breath. "Is there enough evidence for the police to make an arrest?"
Lewis shook his head. "The clever part about this person is that they haven't done anything illegal. It was all normal conversation, and all incitement was done in a normal tone. There was nothing excessive. Fox even led Mrs. Spencer to say things herself..."
Keira tensed her jaw.
Just then, the door to the operating room opened, and the doctors and nurses came out.
The Gill family surged forward, surrounding the doctors. "Doctor, how is Austin?"
Keira immediately looked over with concern.
Seeing the crowd gathered outside, the doctor removed his mask. Nara and the others watched him anxiously.
The doctor slowly said, "We did our best to resuscitate the patient. His life is no longer in danger, but whether he will wake up will depend on the next few days."
These words temporarily relieved the entire Gill family. Nara's tears rolled down her face.
Behind the doctor, Austin was lying on the hospital bed, being slowly wheeled out with his eyes closed, still in a comatose state. The crowd surrounded the bed as it was moved into the ICU. After waiting outside for a moment, Lady Gill looked at Nara. "Barbara, your brother will be alright. Don't worry."
Nara nodded. "I'm sure he'll be alright."
Just a moment ago, everyone had been anxious about Austin's condition, but now they finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this point, they all realized something and were looking incredulously at Nara.
Feeling their gaze, Nara became flustered and subconsciously raised her hand, gesturing something while again speaking out loud. "Why are you all looking at me like this?"
As soon as she said this, she was stunned herself.
Lady Gill rushed over and took her hand, excited. "Nara, you spoke!"
Nara was taken aback.
Mr. Gill also said, "Yes, Nara, you've been talking since just now!"
Her other two brothers immediately crowded around. "Nara, you can speak!"
"Is your throat okay?"
Nara became distraught, not knowing what to say.
Just then, a voice came from the side. "There's nothing physically wrong with Nara's vocal cords."
Everybody turned their heads to see that, after receiving the news, Matias had just arrived. He now stood not too far away, looking at Nara. "When Nara was little, she had a fever and was frightened, which made her unable to speak. Over the years, I've taken her to see many doctors, and her vocal cords are fine."
The Gill family finally realized the situation.
Lady Gill said, "This is good news. This is so great! It's wonderful that you can speak!"
Nara, feeling embarrassed by the attention, lowered her head.
---
Keira and Lewis left the hospital. Now that Austin had survived, both Nara and Keira felt relieved. The Fox's scheming against the Gill family was ultimately because of Keira. If Austin had indeed passed away, her debt to the Gill family would have increased.
The two of them left the building and headed home.
Along the way, Lewis said, "The matter with the Gill family should be settled now." Now that Nara had acknowledged her family and unraveled her issue with them, given the relationship between Nara, Austin, and Keira, the Gill family would undoubtedly stand with Keira unconditionally.
Keira nodded but frowned. "But who is the Fox's next target?"
Lewis said, "The Allen family and the Freeman Sect should be alright. The key concerns are the Davis family and the Olsen family."
Keira immediately said, "We're too passive right now." The Fox was hiding behind the scenes, never showing themselves, which made Keira feel the situation was both tricky and mysterious.
Lewis's eyebrows furrowed. "They're in Clance, so they're bound to slip up eventually. I've already asked Tom to investigate their address based on the information from Mrs. Spencer's chat log."
Keira nodded.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang. She answered, and James's urgent voice came through. "Keira, can you come home? There's a bit of trouble here."
Keira immediately frowned. "Alright, I'm on my way."
After hanging up, she said, "To the Olsen's!"
Lewis immediately turned the car around. "The Fox has made a move against the Olsen family?"
"Seems like it."
Keira's chest tightened slightly.
The car quickly arrived at the Olsen residence. After Keira and Lewis parked, they entered the living room. As soon as they entered, they saw that the expressions of the family members were normal, which made Keira breathe a sigh of relief. She first looked at James. "James, did you call me back for something?"
James said, "Peter said he had something to announce and called us over, but he hasn't arrived yet." After that, James looked at her. "Where have you been these past few days?"
Keira lowered her gaze. "Nowhere special." She looked around and asked, "Where's Dad?"
James pointed upstairs to the study. "Ellis has been so fixated on winning back his wife that he's neglected his work. The Olsen family's mess has once again fallen into the hands of Uncle Olsen."
Keira pursed her lips. She and Lewis found a place to sit, and not long after, Peter drove back, with Susan following behind him, holding onto his arm, looking very demure and sensible.
When Keira saw Susan, her gaze slightly darkened.
James said, "Peter, you've brought us all over here. What do you actually want to do?"
Peter just smiled. "I've gathered everyone here today to announce something. I'm going to marry Susan!"
This statement made the entire living room fall silent all at once.
James was puzzled. "So soon?" Then he glanced at Susan's stomach. "Are you showing already?"
The rest of the Olsen brothers and the elders also frowned.
Peter gave a wry smile. "What are you talking about? It's not all that soon. I've known Susan for two years, and it's about time to talk about marriage." After that, Peter looked toward his parents. "Mom, Dad, do I have your blessings?"
Peter's parents belong to the second branch of the Olsen family. Mr. Olsen and his wife frowned slightly, not saying anything.
Peter then said, "Uncle has said before that our family doesn't do arranged marriages. We marry who we like, so you shouldn't look down on Susan's family background, right?"
Mr. Olsen immediately said, "What are you talking about? The Simpson family is also a notable family. How could we possibly look down on them?"
Peter laughed outright. "So, Dad, you agree, right? This makes things much easier..."
Mr. Olsen sighed in resignation. "Alright, you're grown up, and if you're determined and won't regret it, then we, as parents, won't stop you."
Peter immediately exchanged a look with Susan, both breaking into smiles. Peter then looked at the others. "None of you have objections, right?"
The brothers all expressed their congratulations one after another.
Keira watched them, emotionless. Knowing full well that Peter was about to be cuckolded, was she just supposed to sit back and remain silent? Forget it. She wouldn't be the unpopular one.
But her silence didn't stop others from addressing her.
Susan looked at her and asked, "Miss Olsen, what about you? You'll congratulate us, won't you?"
Keira was perplexed.
Peter also looked at her dumbly. "Yeah, little sister, I have your blessings, right?"
Keira's face tensed as she looked at Susan. She knew that Susan was doing it on purpose. From the first meeting, Susan had shown significant hostility, even constantly trying to drive a wedge between her and Peter.
Susan was either Fox or working for them.
However, Peter occupied a mediocre position in the Olsen family, and the projects he was in charge of were also average. So why would Fox start with him? No, the Fox didn't start with him but was targeting several brothers at once!
If Keira objected to this marriage, given Uncle Olsen's degree of fondness for her, he would definitely order Peter and Susan to break up immediately, which would leave a thorn in the hearts of her brothers. It would seem as if Keira was acting like a queen in the family, making everything so discordant.
Keira took a deep breath. When she looked up again, she saw that, except for James, a few of the brothers were looking at her, apparently waiting for her answer.
Keira turned her gaze to Peter.
Although she wasn't close to Peter, on the day she returned home to acknowledge her relatives, Peter secretly gave her a bank card, whispering, "Little sister, I don't know how your financial situation is, but this card is under my name. If you ever run out of money, feel free to use it." At that time, Peter had a beaming smile on his face.
Keira's chin tensed. She couldn't ignore the situation. Knowing what kind of person Susan was, she couldn't still let Peter jump into the fire pit.
She took a deep breath and looked at Peter. "Peter, what if I don't agree?"
A shadow passed over Peter's eyes momentarily. He hung his head and, after a moment of silence, looked toward Keira. "Keira, I know you and Susan had some unpleasant interactions when you first met, but Susan isn't bad by nature. It must be a misunderstanding between you two. I can't give up on Susan. I want to marry her."
Charles then looked toward Keira. "Keira, the truth is, Miss Simpson might seem a bit pretentious, but she's actually quite nice. And, she once saved Peter's life."
Susan's face stiffened when she heard the former part of the statement, but she showed a look of pride when she heard the latter.
It was the first time Keira had heard any of this, and she was slightly startled. "Is there a story there?"
"Yes, it was two years ago when Peter had a car accident. The car fell off the road. It happened late at night with no one around. It was Miss Simpson who came by and desperately pulled him out, saving his life."
After Charles finished speaking, Peter looked at Susan with a mixture of tenderness and gratitude. "That day, I groggily got taken to the hospital. After I was treated, the doctors and nurses all told me I was fortunate. If I had been brought in any later, I wouldn't have made it."
He held Susan's hand. "Susan saved my life, and I want to be with her for the rest of my life. If my family objects to the marriage, then I'll leave the Olsen family and strike out on my own."
Susan looked at him gratefully and then turned her soft and vulnerable gaze to Keira. "Miss Olsen, the person you saw at the mall wasn't me. I've actually been secretly in love with Peter for many years, and he knows it. That's why, when I saw him driving off in a bad state that night, I followed him and managed to save him. I couldn't possibly betray Peter."
Her eyes brimming with tears, she said, "Peter wants to marry me, and he wants the blessing of everyone in the family. Miss Olsen, can't you and I put aside our past misunderstandings?"
Keira didn't know what to say. She reviewed the mall surveillance footage and found nothing, which confirmed that there must be a rat. If not for that, she would have been swayed by Susan's acting skills! No wonder Peter couldn't see through it—this woman was just too good at acting.
She didn't speak, and Susan sighed again, withdrawing her hand from Peter's. "Peter, I know that Miss Olsen is Uncle Olsen's newly found daughter, and the Olsen family has always wanted a girl. You all must be very affectionate toward her. So if she really doesn't wish us to marry, then we should forget it! I don't want to cause division in the family because of me."
Keira was speechless. This woman was good!
Susan turned back to Peter, and he grabbed her arm. "Susan, what are you talking about? Keira has always been sensible, and since our reunion, she has never been unreasonable! She won't disagree, right, Keira?"
Keira was speechless. She felt like she had swallowed half a fly, unable to spit it out, yet unable to swallow it down.
She took a deep breath, and before she could speak, the rest of the brothers spoke one after another.
Charles said, "Keira, just give them your blessing, will you?"
James also said, "Keira, they've been together for a year now. Why don't you just let them marry?"
The other brothers also chimed in.
"After getting married, we won't necessarily live together. Even if there is a little conflict between you and Susan, she won't give you any trouble since you'll be living farther apart in the future."
"This is ultimately Peter's private life. We shouldn't be too meddlesome, right?"
"Little sister, I think you should just give them your blessing."
"Right, right, there's no deep hatred to speak of."
Keira remained silent. With everything that her brothers had said, what more could she say? How could she continue to oppose the marriage?
