Chapter 276
Lewis’s gaze was so intense that it stunned the few people who got out of the car.
Keira stood there holding Amy, silent.
Howard, however, was startled.
He noticed Lewis’s stance, especially with a group of bodyguards as if they were about to encircle
them, not allowing anyone to escape…
Was he here to settle accounts?
Or after getting a taste last night, was he looking for
Keera?
He swallowed and instinctively looked toward his
mother.
His mother also took a step back, suddenly pushing Keira forward, using the latter as a shield.
Then she said, “Mr. Horton, we were deceived by her last night, too. It was all her idea. It has nothing to
do
with us p>
Hearing these words, Lewis frowned slightly.

Howard immediately nodded. “Yes, yes, it was all her own idea p>
Before he could finish, Lewis took large strides toward them.
Howard’s legs went weak with fear.
He wanted to flee, but the black-suited bodyguards had already surrounded his car, cutting off his
escape
route.
There was no retreat!
Just as Howard turned pale, Lewis reached Keira. His gaze fixed on her as though he couldn’t bear to
look away for even a second.
Keira pursed her lips.
She didn’t know if Lewis would recognize her as s had washed off the iodine from her face and
deliberately covered the mole at the corner of her
with concealer.
Howard and his mother hadn’t noticed anything out the ordinary these past two days…
Keira feigned nervousness, clutching Amy’s hand a
little tighter Amy immediately cried out “Mommy I’m

Keira then gently patted her. “Don’t be scared, Amy. Don’t be scared. Mommy is here p>
Her eyes looked aggrieved and anxious, with a hint of shyness, just like a normal, delicate girl facing a
one-night stand.
On her way back, she had already thought about how she should deal with him.
Lewis would surely investigate her once he woke up.
But Keera’s existence was without question. The more he investigated, the more he would find out that
she was Keera.
Indeed, Lewis looked at her with hesitation in his fingers clenched tightly. His voice was dee said, “You

After this, there was a moment of silence.
es,
Lewis continued to look at her.
He stared intently at that face as if he was looking at her, yet it seemed as if he was looking at
someone else…
No one knew how long he looked at her before he suddenly averted his gaze. “Sorry, I mistook you for
someone else p>
Keira immediately waved her hand. “No, it’s no problem p>
She played the role of a meek housewife to perfection.
Lewis’s eyes were downcast.
He suddenly said, “You are indeed not her p>
Leaving those words behind, he suddenly turned
around, instructing someone beside him, “Let’s go
home p>
These words allowed Keira to breathe a sigh of relief.
Lewis, after leaving behind those two words, got into
the car.
The Bentley’s door slowly closed, and the window rolled down. Lewis appeared there, suddenly

Keira immediately said, “Last night

just a
misunderstanding… I entered the wrong room… Sorry,
I’m sorry p>
Lewis’s gaze cooled somewhat.
He nodded and then rolled up the car window.
The car slowly started moving, driving past Keira and
Howard.
As the car drove away, the remaining bodyguards got into their vehicles and followed behind. The
group of more than a dozen people thus departed from the villa.
It wasn’t until the last black sedan disappeared the corner that Howard and his mother finally
out of it.
When Howard saw so many bodyguards, his hea pounded with fear, and he regretted his actions the
day before!
He had been foolishly bold. How could he have had audacity to scheme against Lewis Horton?

Howard’s mother smirked and said, “Exactly, how can you be so cheap? You let him sleep with you for
nothing! Even prostitutes know to demand payment; what about you p>
Keira’s eyes turned slightly cold.
She was just about to retort sarcastically but suddenly realized that perhaps Lewis was still around, so
what she intended to say turned into, “I, I was just too scared… Aren’t you afraid? I felt like Mr. Horton
was going to eat someone alive… How could you dare scheme against him p>
Howard was speechless.
He coughed and said, “That’s disgraceful. After fina establishing such a connection with Mr. Horton, yo

Howard frowned and felt unsure. “He arrived here

Howard’s mother turned her gaze back to Keira, “It’s

She entered the house muttering and grumbling with
Howard.
Keira followed behind them and suddenly turned to look in the direction where Lewis had just

The black Bentley drove slowly past the entran the villa.
Tom was sitting in the passenger seat and had be surprised by Keera’s appearance; he looked at his in
the back seat.
Seeing his icy facial expression, he couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, doesn’t Keera look too much like Miss
Keira? Apart from not having a mole under her

she’s virtually identical! Could there really be people so similar in the world? Or are they actually
twins p>
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lewis suddenly commanded, “Stop the car p>
The driver immediately pulled over to the side of the
road.
Lewis turned to look back towards the villa.
After an indeterminate length of time, he suddenly ordered, “Keep an eye on the South family p>
Tom blinked in confusion and asked, “Boss, why do you have people watch them? Is it because you

Lewis was speechless.
He gave Tom a frosty look which frightened the lat into immediate silence.
After a moment, Lewis said, “Let’s go p>
Tom asked, “Back to Oceanion p>

Lewis suddenly turned his gaze out the window. “The

Tom was bewildered. “But boss, that’s not what you

Lewis had carved out his own niche overseas; how could he possibly be unable to enter the Clance
market?
The first branch spread rumors, and Tom was so angry at the time that he wanted to request a mission
to Clance to prove himself, but Lewis refused.
He’d said not to care about others’ opinions.
So why care now?
And to personally venture into it?
