Selena was absolutely furious. And I mean, steaming, boiling, ready-to-explode furious.
Her entire body trembled with rage, her hands clenching into fists so tight that her knuckles had turned white. The veins in her neck pulsed visibly as she fought to restrain herself. Honestly, if looks could kill, the poor woman standing in front of her would have been reduced to ash on the spot.
*Was it illegal to kill someone?* Selena thought bitterly, her teeth grinding together.
But in the midst of her fury, something strange happened. A dull, peculiar ache began to radiate from her abdomen. It was subtle at first, barely noticeable beneath the blinding rage, but persistent enough to remind her that her body was betraying her in this moment of crisis.
Taking a deep, shaky breath to calm herself and suppress the pain, Selena turned to Keira, her brows furrowed deeply in frustration. Her voice dripped with venom as she spat out, "Ms. Olsen, Miss Martin, what you're saying is just absurd! No wonder Ryan doesn't believe you—I don't either! Stop trying to scam us!"
But Keira remained eerily composed. There was no anger in her eyes, no tremor in her voice. She glanced at her phone, then looked up with a serene expression that somehow made Selena even angrier. "There are two minutes left. Let's see who's really scamming who, shall we?"
Selena let out a mocking laugh that echoed through the air. She was determined to expose these women for what she believed they truly were—opportunists and liars. "I know why you're here. You're just trying to partner up with the Gill family. But I'm curious—your family and the Hortons are both filthy rich. Is partnering with the Gills really that crucial? Or maybe... you've got some ulterior motive?"
Keira narrowed her eyes, and for a moment, there was something sharp and dangerous in her gaze. "All my dealings with the Gills are completely aboveboard. Nora Institute doesn't need to work with them for any hidden agenda."
But Selena wasn't backing down. She scoffed with exaggerated disbelief. "Really? Because from what I've heard, you practically begged Gills to get the deal with them. I mean, come on—Nora Institute is a big name. People all over the world would kill to collaborate with you. But you chose the Gills, offering terms that are suspiciously reasonable. If that's not fishy, I don't know what is."
She turned dramatically to Ryan, her voice pleading and insistent. "Ryan, they're hiding something for sure! You can't trust them!"
Ryan's normally calm eyes turned cold as ice the moment they locked onto Keira. The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.
Seeing this, Erin was about to step forward to defend Keira, but Keira held up a hand, stopping her. There was strength in that simple gesture, a quiet confidence that spoke volumes. Keira addressed Selena directly, her voice steady and sharp as a blade. "What's your point, Selena? Nora Institute's collaborations are based on market research. Sure, we've got plenty of international partners, but since we opened our institute in Clance, of course, we'd work with domestic businesses. The Gill family runs the largest medical operation in the city. Who else should we work with if not them? Or do you think there's a better medical institution than the Gills?"
Selena was rendered speechless for a moment, her mouth opening and closing like a goldfish. But she quickly recovered, her lips curling into a sneer. "But... I heard you only got the deal with the Gills because you begged Nara for it."
Keira responded coolly, her tone dripping with intellectual superiority. "Nara is my friend, and her brother is a colleague from the Freeman Sect. If you really think that's suspicious, then by your logic, maybe Nara's secretly trying to infiltrate Nora Institute on behalf of her family?"
Selena stammered, clearly flustered. "Of course not..."
"Exactly." Keira cut her off with razor-sharp precision. "I've nearly fallen out with the Gills over Nara in the past. Lucky for us, she's their long-lost daughter, or that deal would've gone south. Selena, don't assume everyone else is as underhanded as you."
Selena stood there, utterly speechless.
*What...?*
Keira was usually so quiet, so reserved. Where was all this sass suddenly coming from?
Wait.
*Usually quiet.*
That phrase stuck in Selena's mind like a splinter. Her thoughts began to race. She had been looking at Keira as if she were the same person as the late Keira Olsen from Oceanion. But that couldn't be right, could it?
The woman standing before her looked just like that Keira. But Keera was always more reserved, rarely speaking, even when she was at the Horton residence. So Selena had never actually connected her with the Keira from Oceanion—until now.
They were practically identical!
Selena felt a nagging sense of familiarity creep up her spine, but no matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't quite piece it together. Frowning deeply, she snapped back, "Fine, let's say your deal with the Gills is legit, but the Cobb family already cut ties with you. Why are you still trying so hard to get in? The Cobb family always sticks up for their own! I think you're just holding a grudge because we stopped working with you, and now you're here to cause trouble."
She turned to Ryan once more, desperation creeping into her voice. "Ryan, your meeting is starting soon, with an international medical team no less. What if Keira's stalling you on purpose to mess with your business? Who knows what she's up to?"
Ryan glanced at Keira, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
He wasn't the type of man to be easily swayed by emotional outbursts or dramatic accusations. But he had to admit, Selena had a point. Business deals should be voluntary. And given the existing tension between the Hortons and the Cobb family... perhaps it would be better for everyone if he simply walked away from this partnership. No need to cause awkwardness or hard feelings down the line.
Impatience colored his voice as he said, "Ms. Olsen, please step aside."
But Keira didn't move an inch. Instead, she looked at her phone, and a calm smile spread across her lips. She began to count down, her voice smooth and steady.
"Ten, nine..."
Selena scoffed loudly, her confidence returning. "It's five seconds to ten. We're standing right here, so how's a car crash going to happen?"
As if on cue, Keira completed her countdown, her eyes locking firmly onto Ryan.
And right next to her, Erin snapped her fingers with a wicked grin. "Time's up!"
Everyone turned to Ryan.
He was standing right by the entrance, tall and imposing. How could a serious car crash possibly happen now?
But the tension in the air was palpable. Something was about to happen. Something big.
The question was—what?

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, what a chapter! The verbal sparring between Keira and Selena was absolutely electrifying. Watching Keira dismantle Selena's ridiculous accusations with such calm, sharp logic was incredibly satisfying. Keira truly showed her strength here—not with physical force, but with intelligence, poise, and razor-sharp comebacks that left Selena sputtering. And that countdown ending? Absolutely spine-chilling! The way Erin snapped her fingers and said "Time's up!" gave me chills. I'm literally on the edge of my seat desperate to know what happens next. This chapter was short but phenomenally intense, packed with drama, psychological tension, and a cliffhanger that's going to keep me up all night!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Oh, I can already feel the chaos coming! Since Keira's countdown has reached zero, I predict that we're about to witness a dramatic car crash involving Ryan right at the entrance. But here's the twist—I have a feeling this won't be an accident. This could be a carefully orchestrated attack, possibly connected to the enemies lurking in the shadows who have been targeting the Gill family. Ryan might get injured, or perhaps someone close to him will be caught in the crossfire. And this could finally force Ryan to see the truth about Selena's manipulations and realize that Keira was never the enemy. I also suspect this incident will bring Ryan and Keira closer together, revealing secrets and alliances that no one saw coming!
