Chapter 306
Lewis glared at the two people, thinking about how Keira had been bullied by this mother and son for
the past month, and he wished he could kill them.
But this was Clance, where one couldn’t kill people recklessly.
However, the murderous intent in his eyes was so intense that it frightened Howard into a frozen state!
Lewis stared at them fiercely, his gaze sweeping over Keira before he adjusted his cuffs and said, “A
month ago, you set me up, and that account hasn’t been settled yet p>
As he spoke these words, several black-clothed bodyguards suddenly appeared at the door.
Howard had never seen such a presence.
His legs instantly went weak, and he knelt on the ground, knocking his head and begging. “Mr. Horton,
that has nothing to do with me… It wasn’t my idea; it was all Keera’s. Keera was the one who plotted
against you, and it has nothing to do with me… I was forced by
9
Keera p>
Keira looked at him, her heart filled with sorrow for Keera once again.
This man had personally sent his wife to another man’s bed, and in the end, he didn’t even want to take
a bit of responsibility.
She took a deep breath, not wanting to speak
anymore.
Lewis was about to share his feelings with her when Howard and his mother interrupted him, and now
he couldn’t be bothered to argue with the two of them and simply roared, “Get out p>
Howard immediately stood up, and he and his mother helped each other out. When they stumbled over
the coffee table, they didn’t even dare to stand up and
crawled out like that.
Once they were out the door, the two of them seemed as if they had gotten their lives back and rushed
out in a most disgraceful manner.
It wasn’t until they had finally walked a considerable distance, even leaving the neighborhood, that they
stopped and. filled with afterthought looked back at
11.35
the villa.
Only then did Howard realize something was amiss. “Why would Mr. Horton be in the second
bedroom? And Keera, why doesn’t she seem to be afraid of him p>
His mother immediately slapped her thigh. “Mr. Horton must have taken a fancy to her. No wonder she
could hire a nanny, and she spoke with more confidence when she talked to us! She must have won
Mr.
Horton’s heart p>
Howard was confused. “Then Mr. Horton will definitely help her fill that twenty-million gap, won’t he? I
really… why did I get a divorce? If I hadn’t divorced p>
Hearing this, his mother couldn’t help but smack his head. “If you hadn’t divorced, Mr. Horton would still
take a fancy to Keera, and what would you dare to do
Howard showed a sleazy expression. “At least I could’v taken some benefits p>
His mother also showed a regretful expression but thinking back to Mr. Horton’s imposing aura just
now, she couldn’t help shivering with fear and said, “Son, how did you have the courage to plot against
such a
32
terrifying person p>
Howard also shrank his neck. At that time, without any connections with influential people, he saw that
Mrs. Horton’s late wife looked very similar to Keera, so he immediately became tempted.
Thinking back now, he had been incredibly audacious!
But what a pity! He had delivered wealth and luxury right to Keera!
He felt some anger but could only stubbornly say, “No matter what, the woman Mr. Horton is sleeping
with now is someone I’ve used and discarded p>
After saying that, as if to comfort himself, he hurriedly called a cab, taking his mother away from there
and back to Cindy’s home.
On the way home, Howard’s emotions were very complicated.
There’s an old saying that goes, you don’t cherish what you have until you lose it, and then it’s too late
for
regrets, especially since he had thought it was he who had abandoned Keera.
He believed that Keera’s life would definitely be
miserable in the future, and when he occasionally
Vas
in a good mood, he could still go to see her, as Keera would still be his woman.
However, someone had come to snatch her…
Thinking of Keera’s beautiful face, he remembered Keera in college. Although she didn’t have a good
demeanor, she still relied on her impressive looks to become the school beauty and was pursued by
many.
Howard suddenly felt a bit reluctant to let her go.
His mother understood his thoughts just by looking at him and comforted him by saying, “Son, what’s
there to miss? That Keera has nothing but a face like a vixen, and she’s seducing everyone
everywhere. How can she compare to Cindy p>
Howard nodded. “Right, she’s nothing but a worn-out shoe! Mr. Horton even came to our door because
of her! Mom, that woman is like a log in bed, utterly joyless and boring. Sooner or later, Mr. Horton will
get
tired of her p>
His mother agreed. “Exactly, she can’t even produce a son. Useless woman! She claims she treats me
well. Ha! Cindy will definitely treat me even better p>

While they talked, they returned home.
The apartment Cindy lived in was a three-bedroom place rented by Howard.
The neighborhood was nice, and the house itself was well-decorated.
As they entered, they saw the living room coffee table in a mess, full of barbecue leftovers from
Howard’s feast last night. The disarray seemed particularly out of place in the otherwise opulent house,
instantly souring
their mood.
Thinking of how neat and clean Keera’s villa was, Howard’s mother couldn’t help but frown and called
out, “Cindy, clean up the coffee table in the living room, will you p>
Cindy was lying in the master bedroom playing with her phone. Hearing this, she said, “Mom, my
stomach hurts. Maybe you could do me a favor and tidy up p>
Howard’s mother frowned instantly and went straight into the bedroom, “Cindy, I know you’re faking it!
Babies aren’t that delicate. When I was pregnant with Howard, I was still working in the fields! Don’t try
to be lazy with me p>

When she moved in yesterday, Cindy was utterly submissive to her.
She thought Cindy was still as compliant as she used to be, but as soon as she said this, Cindy looked
pitifully at Howard. “Howard, my stomach really hurts. I’m not lying to you. Mom, how can you say that
about me p>
Howard’s mother became angry at once. “What have I said about you? When Keera was pregnant, she
didn’t neglect any housework and even made soup for me every day p>
As she spoke, she glanced toward the dining room, noticing that this morning’s used plates were still
sitting there, unwashed. This made her even angrier. “Howard and I were out for two hours, and you
did nothing at home p>
Cindy, feeling wronged, said, “Mom, I really have a stomach ache. Even if you don’t feel sorry for me,
at least feel sorry for your grandson! What do you say,
Howard p>
Howard’s mother immediately turned to Howard.
In the past at home, whenever there was a conflict
between her and Keera, Howard always took her side.
But unexpectedly, Howard frowned at Cindy and, ultimately, turned to her. “Mom, stop making a scene.
I’m annoyed. Just go and clean up p>
Howard’s mother was stunned. “How can you make me do the work? When have I ever done chores at
home? I still have to go out and exercise p>
Howard said, “Before Keera came along, weren’t you the one who did everything? Hurry up! I’ve had
enough
of this p>
As Howard said this, he pushed his mother out of the master bedroom, and with a “bang,” he shut her
outside the door.
Howard’s mother was shocked.
She stood staring blankly at the door, her expression frozen, and it even took her a moment to process
wha had just happened!
If it had been before, Howard’s mother might have tolerated it, as she had to depend on her son to live.
But after being respected and pampered by Keira for a month, how could she take this lying down?
She was so angry that her chest heaved dramatically, and then she began pounding the door furiously!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“Cindy, you harbinger of doom, come out here! Why should I do the work? Howard, I raised you, and
now I have to serve the both of you? Bah! Keep dreaming p>
This quarrel was all within Keira’s expectations; in fact, it was exactly the revenge Keira had elaborately
planned for Howard over a month.
At this very moment, in the South family villa.
Lewis was watching her with a burning gaze.
