Chapter 320
Keira glanced at Lewis, her eyebrows raising as she said, “She claims she wants to enter into a
marriage alliance with Mr. Lewis Horton p>
Lewis immediately looked at Victoria with disdain and said firmly, “That’s impossible p>
Christina directed her scrutinizing gaze at Lewis, sizing him up from head to toe, and upon seeing his
casual outfit, she couldn’t help but curl her lip dismissively. “Keera, I know you’re divorced. Is this your
new gigolo?! I really don’t know where this confidence comes from… Do you even understand what a
powerful family marriage alliance is p>
Mrs. Jones then hesitated. “I haven’t heard about it
either p>
Christina immediately said, “The alliance between the Horton and Olsen families had been underway
for many years, but it was discontinued because Mr. Horton married. However, now that Mr. Horton’s
wife has passed away, the talks of marriage between the Horton and Olsen families have been brought
up
again p>
She turned to Victoria and said, “My sister is currently the only unwed daughter of the Olsen family, so
it’s definitely her who will enter into the alliance. What’s so impossible about that p>
Victoria demurely lowered her head and said, “Sister, this matter hasn’t yet been announced publicly p>
“But it’s already a done deal p>
Christina turned to Mrs. Jones. “My sister is set to be the future hostess of the Horton family. Are you
sure you still want to testify for them p>
Mrs. Jones remained silent.
Seeing this, Christina then turned to Keira. “See? N there’s no witness, so don’t make a scene here.
This daycare is Clance’s best. There can’t possibly be any cases of teachers abusing children p>
Keira furrowed her brows.
Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Jones’s voice rang out again. “Who says there are no
witnesses? My son is a witness, and many other children in their class saw it too p>
Keira was slightly surprised and looked toward Mrs. Jones again.
Mrs. Jones smiled at her and then, holding Brandon’s hand, approached the police. “My son can
cooperate with the investigation p>
Christina’s eyes widened in shock. “Mrs. Jones, have you lost your mind?! Do you know what kind of
consequences your meddling could bring?! Does your husband agree with you doing this p>
But Mrs. Jones merely glanced at her nonchalantly and said, “I’m well aware of what I’m doing p>
Christina was dumbfounded.
Without further ado, Mrs. Jones had her son speak privately with the police to give his statement.
Seeing this, the teacher’s legs went weak…
Keira was also taken aback by Mrs. Jones’s sense of
justice.
She stared at Mrs. Jones in astonishment, only to have Mrs. Jones suddenly turn to her and ask, “Do
you really
not remember me p>
Keira was perplexed.

Mrs. Jones chuckled and said, “Four years ago, in the rivers of Oceanion, we went scuba diving
together p>
Upon hearing this, Keira gradually recalled the memory. “You’re the one… who, in order to dive deeper,
tied a rock to yourself p>
Mrs. Jones immediately nodded. “Yes, that’s me p>
Lewis, not one to engage in much conversation with other women, couldn’t help but interject. “A rock?”
Mrs. Jones nodded and explained, “I always had trouble diving down, so I came up with a method of
tying a rock to my back, and down I went – it worked superbly! However, when I tried to come back up,
I found that I couldn’t, and with the rock dragging r kept sinking deeper… If this lady hadn’t rescued m
the river would have been my grave p>
Lewis was speechless.
He had only just spoken out of shock to understand
this!
Who in their right mind scuba dives with a rock tied to
them?
Mrs. Jones took Keira’s hand. “The day you saved me,
409
you didn’t even leave your name. I’ve always wanted to thank you but couldn’t find you. I never
expected to run into you here in Clance p>
Keira didn’t take this matter to heart.
But Lewis frowned and looked at Keira, chiding her in a low voice. “The situation was dangerous at that
time. Did you realize that going to rescue her was also very dangerous p>
His voice carried a sense of relief mixed with fear.
All the divers were at the sea bottom, and Mrs. Jones, weighed down by a large rock, couldn’t ascend,
which/ was enough to indicate how deep she had gone!
In such a situation, Keira dared to rescue her. Was not concerned for her own life?
Mrs. Jones also looked at her with gratitude, “Yes, th situation was perilous. By coming to rescue me,
you tied your life to mine p>
Her words were filled with emotion.
Seeing this, Keira coughed and said, “Well, could it be that I had no choice but to rescue her p>
Lewis and Mrs. Jones were both slightly taken aback.

Keira then said, “At that time, there was only me and her on the beach with no instructor. If she sank
with that rock, and the police came to investigate, I might not be able to clear my name p>
Lewis was speechless.
Mrs. Jones didn’t know what to say.
Keira’s words were light-hearted, but everyone understood that she was just making a small joke to
ease Lewis’s tension and fear.
The police finished questioning the boy soon. Brandon was articulate, and his logic was sound.
Coupled with Amy’s testimony, the police confirmed the teacher’s abuse of children and took her away
immediately.
Before she left, the teacher looked at Christina. “Mis Olsen, Miss Olsen, you must save me p>
Christina glared at Mrs. Jones, her chest heaving with
anger.
Unfortunately, this was a public place, and she still remembered last time she was threatened by
Keera. As an adopted daughter, she couldn’t be too outrageous, so in the end, she could only say
through clenched
tooth “Mrs Jones not wait for your
cooperation with the Horton family to be canceled p>
With that, she pulled Victoria and left.
Mrs. Jones smiled, “How could the Horton family’s cooperation depend on the words of one individual?”
Though she said this, her eyes were worried.
The fact was that her husband’s cooperation with the Horton family was still in the negotiation phase.
As the Horton family was expanding into Clance, they needed channels and were selecting partners
from among these smaller families; her husband had always wanted to secure this opportunity.
Even if Victoria wouldn’t marry Mr. Horton, it was sa that Mr. Horton had a deep relationship with the
Olse family. If Christina and Victoria said a few words, they might actually sabotage her husband’s
prospects.
After all, there were many potential partners for the Horton family to choose from, and their family was
just one of them.
Mrs. Jones thought this to herself, but her face still maintained ease. “Don’t worry, this will not affect
me p>
Keira nodded. “Don’t worry. There will definitely be no impact p>
Mrs. Jones smiled. “I know. Well, now that Amy is fine, I’ll take Brandon home. We’ll make plans to
meet some other time p>
Leaving these words behind, she took her son’s hand and turned to leave.
The moment she turned, the smile on her face seemed a bit forced, and her eyes revealed concern.
Just then, she suddenly heard Lewis’s voice from behind, “Mrs. Jones p>
Mrs. Jones paused slightly, turning back in puzzleme
Then she saw the man who stood behind Keera coming toward her. “Tell your husband to prepare the
contract p>
Mrs. Jones was perplexed.
