The air around the Horton estate was thick with grief and unspoken tension. Mourners had come and gone, their condolences whispered like wind through the halls, but for Keira, the weight in her chest refused to lift. She had been standing near the edge of the courtyard, her mind still tangled in thoughts of her grandmother, when Mary's familiar presence drew close.
Before Keira could even finish her sentence, Erin sauntered over with that knowing smirk of hers, cutting through the moment like a knife through butter. "Actually, what she's trying to say is that I'm a pretty good person. Mary, mind treating me like a bestie too from now on?"
Mary blinked in genuine confusion. "Huh?" She glanced over at Keira, her expression completely puzzled.
Keira furrowed her brows, her jaw tightening. What on earth was Erin playing at?
Erin smiled slightly, her tone breezy. "Alright, now that's settled. Ellis is waiting for you... Mary, you better head over."
Once again, Mary looked back at Keira, hesitant. Keira was about to say something—anything—when Mary suddenly leaned in close to her ear. Her voice was soft, almost a whisper, but it carried the weight of years. "Keera, I don't care who you are. I only know one thing—you'll always be my best friend."
Keira was momentarily stunned, her heart stopping dead in her chest.
Mary smiled at her, warm and genuine, then patted her on the shoulder. "I'll see you later."
Keira nodded, her throat too tight to speak.
As Mary walked away, Keira let out a bitter smile. Of course. Mary and Keera had been childhood best friends—soul sisters in every way that mattered. And Keira had been impersonating her sister for so long now. How could Mary not have noticed something was off? Was she just fooling herself? Or maybe—just maybe—Mary knew Keira had her secrets and understood that everything Keira was doing was for Keera's sake. So, she chose to pretend not to notice. She chose to stand by her friend, no matter what name she went by.
The realization hit Keira like a wave, threatening to drown her in gratitude and guilt.
As she stood there lost in thought, Erin stepped closer, her voice low and serious. "You're not actually thinking of telling her the truth, are you?"
Keira frowned, turning to look at her.
Erin sighed, exasperation coloring her features. "Why are you so emotional? You can't just do whatever comes to mind. What if Mary finds out you're not Keera and starts keeping her distance? What if this affects the Davis family's support? You need to think about the bigger picture. Don't be so reckless."
Keira didn't respond. She couldn't. The words felt hollow compared to the loyalty Mary had just shown her.
After giving her a good talking-to, Erin sighed again, shaking her head. "I can't believe Rabbit's sister is such a sentimental fool."
Keira stayed silent, her gaze fixed on the memorial hall in the distance.
Erin shook her head and walked away. Not long after, Charles approached her with an easy grin. "Erin, what have you been busy with these past few days?"
"Eating!" Erin's voice took on a mischievous, almost playful tone. "The food here is amazing. You should grab a couple of plates later."
Keira sighed. No matter the situation, nothing could ever change Erin's obsession with food. She chuckled bitterly, shaking her head, finding a small sliver of comfort in the familiar absurdity.
Just then, Uncle Olsen came over, his gaze pointed toward the memorial hall. "What's going on with the first branch?"
There, in plain view, Oliver was tied up, kneeling in front of the memorial hall. He had been there the entire time, a spectacle that drew puzzled glances from everyone. But no one dared to ask questions. It was an unspoken truth—with the passing of old Mrs. Horton, the future of the Horton family now rested firmly in Lewis's hands.
Keira lowered her head and spoke quietly, her voice barely above a whisper. "He nearly strangled Grandma."
Uncle Olsen frowned, glancing at her before turning his gaze to Lewis. After a pause, he said, "This was Lewis's decision? Grandma was on her deathbed, and he still used the opportunity to suppress the first branch. That's ruthless... but effective."
Keira quickly corrected him, her voice firm. "It wasn't his idea. Grandma arranged it."
Uncle Olsen paused for a moment, processing her words, then huffed in grudging acknowledgment. "In that case, he's being too soft!"
Keira immediately objected, her eyes blazing with conviction. "No, that's not true. There are some lines you just don't cross. Grandma was his line—just like how you and Mom are mine."
Her words sent a wave of warmth through Uncle Olsen. His stern expression softened, and a flicker of emotion crossed his eyes. "Em... I'm your line?"
Keira blinked at him, confused by his sudden tenderness. "Of course. You're my dad. You're obviously my line."
Suddenly, Uncle Olsen laughed—a deep, heartfelt laugh that seemed to chase away some of the shadows around them. "Alright, but remember, your mom is your most important line. If you ever have to choose between me and your mom, you better choose her! Because she's my line, too."
Keira nodded firmly, no hesitation in her heart. Even if Uncle Olsen hadn't said that, Jodie was already the most important person in her life. Nothing could ever change that.
The Olsen family stayed behind after the ceremony ended. After all, old Mrs. Horton had been Uncle Olsen's elder, so they remained to help with the arrangements. When the mourning period finally ended, the guests who had come to pay their respects began to leave. Soon, only the Horton family and the Olsen family were left.
It wasn't exactly appropriate for the Olsens to stay, but with Uncle Olsen's stern presence, no one dared to suggest they leave. His very presence was enough to support Lewis. He was worried Nathan would try something. Lewis was younger and could easily be overpowered.
Understanding Uncle Olsen's intentions, Lewis calmly stepped forward, his voice cutting through the heavy silence. "Now that Grandma's funeral is over, it's time we discuss Oliver's punishment."
At this, Oliver immediately lifted his head, glaring at Lewis with venom in his eyes. "You know I was set up by Grandma. How could you—"
Before he could finish, Lewis kicked him squarely in the chest, his voice icy and unforgiving. "Still denying it? The video clearly shows you grabbing her neck! I've already shown it to Uncle Julius."
Nathan immediately turned to Uncle Julius, desperation etched across his face. "Uncle, I'm sure Oliver didn't mean it. Please, can't you go easy on him?"
Uncle Julius snorted, his anger barely contained. "Didn't mean it? The video shows otherwise. I might not have heard the words, but I'm not blind. He grabbed her by the neck in a fit of rage and killed her!"
Having attended the funeral, Uncle Julius wasn't in the best of moods. Especially after seeing that damning video, his anger boiled over. He had already given Oliver a severe beating.
Nathan knew there was no point in arguing. With the video evidence, there was nothing left to defend. He turned to Uncle Julius, his voice desperate. "Uncle, how are you going to punish him?"
Uncle Julius sighed deeply, the weight of the decision settling on his shoulders. "Oliver betrayed the family and killed his grandmother. According to Horton family rules, he is to relinquish all his shares in the Horton Group and be banished from the family."
The moment those words left Uncle Julius's mouth, Nathan slumped back into his chair, defeated, the life draining from his posture.
Oliver's face twisted in rage, a bitter laugh escaping his lips. "Ha! So that old witch planned all of this! She just wanted to clear the path for her precious grandson! Hahaha!" Then he turned to Lewis, his eyes blazing with defiance. "You think this is enough to take me down? Even if I'm kicked out of the Horton family, I've got other means! I'll make a comeback. Just you wait!"
Lewis stared at him coldly, unshaken. "What resources do you have left?"
Oliver grinned, a cruel, arrogant smirk. "I've got Marisa and Selena. Over the years, I've given them plenty of money. Even if I leave the family, I can count on them!"
Lewis's expression didn't change. He spoke calmly, his voice dropping like a blade. "You haven't noticed they haven't shown up at the funeral?"
The words hung in the air like a death knell. And in that moment, Oliver's confident grin began to crack.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, what an emotionally charged chapter! The moment between Keira and Mary absolutely shattered me—Mary knowing the truth all along but choosing to stand by her friend anyway? That's the kind of loyalty that makes your heart ache in the best way. And Erin, bless her food-obsessed soul, is as entertaining as ever, providing just the right amount of comic relief. The tension during Oliver's punishment was palpable, and Lewis's final blow about Marisa and Selena? Chilling. The way this story weaves family loyalty, sacrifice, and consequences together is masterful. I laughed, I teared up, and I was on the edge of my seat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that the next chapter will reveal what happened to Marisa and Selena—they've likely been taken care of by Lewis or someone working on his behalf, leaving Oliver completely isolated and powerless. This will send Oliver into a desperate frenzy, perhaps attempting one last reckless act of revenge against Lewis, Keira, or even the Davis family. Additionally, Keira's emotional turmoil over Mary's unwavering loyalty may push her to finally consider revealing the full truth, setting the stage for a major confrontation or heartfelt confession in the chapters to come.
