140 Husband
Although Keira knew that she wasn't Taylor's daughter, she was indeed raised as
the illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family
In the past, she cared a lot about this and even felt
that her blood was tainted.
Under Poppy's relentless brainwashing, she felt she had let down the Olsen
family and Isla.
She recalled that when she was going to leave the Olsen family, Poppy wouldn't
let her go and wanted her to slave away for the family. She knelt for ten grueling
hours.
At thirteen years old, she dressed in thin clothes, kneeling in the cold winter.
After a full ten hours, she stubbornly looked at Poppy and asked, “Can I now
leave the Olsen family?”
Ever since then, she never brought up her own identity
again.
Jake accused her of deceiving him and keeping it from him, but in reality, she
didn't intentionally hide it. She

just didn’t know how to break the news. She had already decided, back then, that
if Jake confessed his love to her by graduation, she would reveal her identity.
Looking back now, she suddenly felt that her past twenty-something years were
actually confined by
Poppy.
Poppy crafted a cage called “illegitimate daughter” and firmly bound her within it.
But how important was a person’s background, really?
Keira had already come to terms with it. She just hadn't learned to face it openly.
Now, she was finally able to face it.
I
The whole private room was silent.
Everyone looked at Keira with disbelief, then turned toward Isla and began
whispering among themselves:
“Oh my God, are they actually sisters?”
“What sisters? That's an illegitimate daughter, which means Keira’s mother is “the
other woman! If I were

Isla, I would hate her to death, right?”
“But it doesn’t seem like it, right? Keira has always been working hard on work-
study programs. I heard she earned her tuition by working part-time...”
While a few people were whispering among themselves, Erin suddenly realized
something and burst out loudly. “Keira, so that's what you are. Why didn’t you tell
everyone?! Your background is just disgusting! Your mom is the mistress, isn’t
she? She wrecked another family, and you yourself are a vixen, seducing every
man. How could I have a classmate like
you?!”
She turned to Isla. “Isla, aren’t you too kind to her? Why didn’t you speak up
about this earlier?”
Back in primary and middle school, Isla would stir things up so that all her
classmates knew, and at that age, children knew that stepmothers and
mistresses- were the scariest, which would make them detest
Keira.
But since high school, that trick no longer worked.
After all, there were few people like Erin who harbored personal prejudices
against Keira, and most

were...
“This is the 21st century already. Is there still anyone who judges others by their
background? What's the matter? You're so arrogant! Is your family royalty or
what?”
“That's so funny. My ancestors are relatives of aristocrats, but am I arrogant?
What's wrong with someone’s background? Can a person choose their own
parents?”
“Really? You're a descendant of a noble family?”
“Can't you tell a joke? Go away...”
A few people couldn't stand Erin's attack and shot back
at her.
“Heroes are not judged by their origins, and whatever Keira's background may
be, it isn’t something she chose. As long as she’s outstanding in her own right,
who would bother asking about her origins?”
“Speaking of origins, if we dig three generations back, who isn’t descended from
humble beginnings?!”
“Erin, how great is your background? What do your parents do? Does your family
own a palace?”

Erin was struck speechless by the questions. She then retorted angrily, “You've
all been bewitched by that seductress, haven't you? All the boys are speaking up
for her! Unbelievable!”
Her words enraged the silent female classmates.
The girls spoke less not because they were less straightforward than the boys,
nor did they rant and rave like them. But now that they were called out, they
started chattering.
“Erin, you've gone too far! We're all classmates, and even though Keira might
have been a bit reclusive at school, she’s actually got a nice personality! There
was a time when I was on duty and couldn't reach something up high, and it was
Keira who helped me!” said a petite girl.
Another voice chimed in. “I think you're just jealous because you like Charles, but
he’s always speaking up for Dr. South. Don’t make it about boys and girls.
People are annoyed with you, regardless of gender because of the way you act!”
“Exactly, you think you're so great, that your background is so superior. Can you
surpass Dr. South

in terms of research achievements?”
Everyone was denouncing Erin.
Isla watched from the side, lowered her gaze, and let out a cold laugh.
See, if she told the truth, she would end up just like
Ean
Watching Erin about to be reduced to tears by the crowd's scolding, Isla said, “I
agree with you guys. So Keira, you really shouldn't just marry someone at
random because of your background... You should ask Dad for his opinion...
Dad was very upset and felt sorry for you when he saw your husband
yesterday...”
At these words, Erin suddenly found a new angle attack. She stood up abruptly
as if this posture w give her an advantage over everyone else!
She let out a cold laugh and then confronted the me who had just spoken. “You
say you don’t care about family backgrounds, but would you really be willing to
marry her?”
All those men were immediately at a loss for words.

Erin then turned to Scott. “So, she just randomly
picked a construction worker, right? Only someone of that status wouldn’t mind
her background! After all, an illegitimate daughter can only be matched with a
lowlife!”
The room fell silent for a moment.
Isla smiled triumphantly at this turn of events.
That was exactly the effect she wanted!
Keira was really that shameful, huh? No matter how impressive she was, she
could only match up with a
construction worker!
Just as this thought crossed her mind, a deep voice from Lewis broke the
silence. “Have you said enough?”
Everyone turned to look at him, only to see the man deep gaze and hear his calm
voice. “Who says her
husband is a construction worker?”
