The chapter opens with a jolt of surprise—Keira's phone rings, and the name on the screen makes her heart skip a beat. Ryan? Why was he calling now? The Gill family had already reached out the moment they heard from Ryan about continuing their collaboration. So why was he suddenly contacting her directly? A cold whisper of worry coiled in her chest: *Had he figured out that she had manipulated him?*
Her mind raced, and a pang of guilt twinged inside her. After all, this was her first time pulling off a scheme quite like this. She coughed lightly, trying to mask her unease, and instinctively glanced at Lewis.
Lewis, ever the sharp-eyed businessman, noticed her hesitation immediately. Without a word, he reached over and gently took the phone from her hand, shooting her a side-eye that spoke volumes: *Really? You're nervous over this?*
Of course. Lewis was a seasoned veteran in their world—a predator who had seen schemes within schemes, betrayals wrapped in silk, and alliances forged in fire. To him, this was child's play. Calm and collected, he pressed the speaker button.
A bright, cheerful voice burst through the speaker. "Ms. Olsen, you saved my brother and me! Our family would love to visit you to thank you in person and clear up any misunderstandings. Would that be alright?"
It was Ellie. And Keira heard every word, as did Lewis, who kept the call on speaker.
Before Keira could respond, a voice sliced through the air from behind her—sharp and territorial. "No way!"
Erin had appeared out of nowhere, arms crossed, eyes blazing.
Ellie, completely unfazed, shot back instantly. "I'm asking Ms. Olsen, not you!"
Erin scoffed, her tone dripping with disdain. "Really? Since when were you and my cousin so close?"
"Your cousin?" Ellie's voice was incredulous. "You're from the South family. What's that got to do with her?"
Erin sneered triumphantly. "She and I are related. You tell me, what do you think that means?"
There was a brief pause on the other end of the line. Then, with impressive determination, Ellie simply ignored Erin altogether and focused solely on Keira. "So, Ms. Olsen, we'll come over tomorrow at noon. Our whole family."
And before Erin could get another word in, Ellie hung up.
Erin huffed, turning to Keira with barely concealed irritation. "Honestly, how rude is she? I mean, they haven't even gotten our permission, and she's acting like they're already invited over."
Keira gently reminded her, "Technically, this is the Horton residence..."
Erin waved her hand dismissively. "Well, that's irrelevant. You're married to Lewis now, so what's his is yours, and what's yours is mine, right? By blood, you're still my cousin!"
Keira rubbed her forehead, a wave of exasperation washing over her. She loved Erin, but the woman had a unique talent for making everything complicated.
Lewis narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint, unreadable smile tugging at his lips. He turned to the butler, his voice calm and authoritative. "Prepare the house. We'll have guests tomorrow."

Across town, at the Cobb residence, the atmosphere was far livelier—and far more scheming.
Ellie hung up the phone and spun around to face Ryan, a triumphant grin spreading across her face. "Done! They're more than happy to have us over."
Ryan raised a skeptical eyebrow. "That's not how it sounded from the conversation I just heard."
Ellie shrugged, utterly unbothered. "Whatever. The point is, are you coming or not?"
Ryan sighed, looking down thoughtfully. "We can't show up empty-handed. After all, they helped us in such a big way. We should bring a gift."
"Got it!" Ellie chirped, already mentally planning her best outfit.
She handed the phone back to Ryan and headed for the door, then paused midway. A playful glint flickered in her eyes as she turned around. "Hey, why did you save her number as 'Fox'?"
Ryan froze.
There wasn't any particular reason. He hadn't interacted much with Keira before—just a few phone calls here and there, the kind of transactional exchanges that never should have lingered in his mind. So why had he typed "Fox" instead of her name? As he stood there, the memory surfaced unbidden: the image of her face, young and composed, her gaze sharp and carrying a certain shrewdness. She was like a little fox. Clever. Perceptive. Dangerous in the most elegant way. Given time—or maybe even already—her achievements would far surpass those of most people.
But Ryan wasn't about to explain all that to Ellie. So instead, he simply deflected, his voice measured. "What gift are you planning to bring?"
Ellie's attention immediately shifted, her excitement bubbling over. "Oh! I was thinking of giving her one of my custom pearl necklaces. I ordered two—perfect timing! I'll give her one!" She grinned, a mischievous spark in her eyes. "And I'll make sure to wear mine whenever she wears hers, just to annoy Erin!"
Ryan remained silent.
But they weren't alone.
Selena had been standing nearby, listening to every word of their conversation. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her fingernails biting into her palms. In this family, there were only two women who should matter: Ellie and herself. Yet here was Ellie, preparing an extravagant gift—not for her sister-in-law, not for Selena—but for *Keira*.
How could they be so disrespectful?
Fuming inside, Selena kept her head down, forcing herself to suppress the storm of emotions churning in her chest. When she finally looked up, a perfect, practiced smile adorned her face. "Ryan, Ellie, we should also bring a gift tomorrow."
Gavin, standing beside her, nodded immediately and reached for her hand, his eyes full of adoration. "Of course, we'll get something too. See you tomorrow."
"Great," Ellie replied, her smile just a little too bright.
After they left, Ellie leaned close to Ryan, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I don't trust Selena. I don't think she's a good match for Gavin. She's always scheming."
Ryan responded calmly, his tone carrying a touch of world-weariness. "Stop meddling in their marriage. That's between them."
Ellie pouted, clearly unsatisfied with his answer. "You're just going to stand by and do nothing?"
Ryan's voice remained even. "There's no need."
But inside, a heavy truth weighed on him. Selena was already suffering from terminal cancer. She didn't have much time left. The real tragedy was that Gavin was too blinded by love to see her true colors. Losing her at her best might leave a scar on him for life—a wound that would fester because he'd never truly known the woman he loved.
Ryan could only hope something would happen to make Gavin open his eyes before it was too late.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions! I absolutely loved the contrast between Keira's nervous guilt, Lewis's calm mastery, and Ryan's hidden admiration wrapped in a simple phone contact name. That little "Fox" detail was such a clever, romantic touch—it shows that Keira has already left an impression on Ryan, whether he admits it or not. And Selena's simmering jealousy? Pure dramatic gold. You can feel the tension building like a storm on the horizon. The chapter masterfully sets up a visit that promises both heartfelt gratitude and explosive conflict. I couldn't stop reading, and I felt every ounce of anxiety, amusement, and foreboding woven into the scene. Honestly, this installment deserves high praise for its pacing and character depth.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Tomorrow's visit is shaping up to be an absolute battlefield! I predict that when the Gill family arrives, Erin and Selena will clash spectacularly—with Selena likely trying to steal the spotlight or subtly sabotage Keira's moment. Meanwhile, Ryan may finally confront Keira face-to-face about his growing fascination with her, and Lewis's protective instincts will undoubtedly flare. And don't count Ellie out—her matching pearl necklace plan is bound to trigger Erin into a hilarious, dramatic confrontation. Someone's secrets might slip out, and the tension could explode in a way no one expects!
