Lewis's words once again quieted the private room.
Everyone looked at him in shock.
Even Professor Miller was confused. “He's here?
Where?”
Lewis straightened his back and watched as Professor Miller bypassed him,
starting with Scott Martin. He examined each of the men sitting in their seats, but
after a full circle, he found no one.
Professor Miller asked, “Keira, who on earth is it?”
Lewis was speechless.
Seeing the change in the man’s expression, Keira couldn't help but snicker
internally.
From the first time she saw Lewis, he had always been serious. This was the first
time Keira had seen so many
emotions on his face.
She smiled but said nothing.
Isla frowned. “Keira, did you marry one of our classmates? Who exactly is it?

suspense!”
At that, Lewis spoke up, “Her husband is me!”
Suddenly, there was silence in the room, and everyone's gaze abruptly shifted to
the two of them.
Isla wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth and then meeting
Lewis's cold face, she
swallowed her words.
Lewis raised Keira’s hand, which he had been holding tightly under the table,
showed it to everyone, and then specifically gave Scott a wary look. “Mr. Martin,
I'm glad my wife could help you. If there's anything in the future, you can contact
me.”
Scott was speechless.
Lewis then looked around at everyone and signaled to Tom, who immediately
smiled and said, “Mr. Horton and Miss Olsen have arranged a few bottles of fine
wine to celebrate Professor Miller's birthday. They'll be served shortly. Enjoy your
meal and drink, and this
meal will be on Mr. Horton's account.”
The classmates were very appreciative, immediately

raising their glasses. “Thank you, Mr. Horton. Thank you, Dr. South!”
At that moment, the atmosphere of the entire birthday banquet seemed to reach
its climax.
Lewis had intended to dine with everyone, but his cell phone suddenly rang.
After he answered, whoever was on the other end said
something that made Lewis's expression change drastically, and he said, “I'll be
right there.”
After hanging up, he looked at Keira apologetically. “I might need to leave now.”
“Go ahead,” Keira said nonchalantly.
Lewis paused, glanced at the people around him, and then said again, “I'll leave
the car for you, and have the driver take you home later.”
He then stood up, straightened his suit, and was about to leave when he passed
by Scott Martin. He suddenly said, “Mr. Martin, everyone here is Keira’s college
classmates and teachers. Your presence seems to keep them from relaxing
completely. Why don't we leave together?”

Scott pursed his lips but politely stood up. “Alright then.”
However, as he was leaving with Lewis, he still turned
to look back at Keira. “Miss Olsen, I'll be in touch with you frequently in the
future.”
These words darkened Lewis's face a few shades more.
Once the two men finally left, the atmosphere in the
private room completely relaxed, and everyone acted as if they had seen off a
superior. They slumped back in their chairs and let out a deep sigh of relief!
“Who would've thought that one day I'd get to dine with such important figures? I
reckon today’s lunch is the peak of my life!”
“Now I'll never be short of something to talk about think that people I could only
see on financial chan are actually having dinner and drinks with me... My
God!"
“Alright, they've left, but we still have Dr. South!”
Professor Miller couldn't help but smile. He turned to discuss an academic issue
with Keira when Isla

suddenly saidm “Keira, aren't you being... shameless?!”
As soon as she said this, everyone immediately looked
at her.
Charles frowned. “Isla, I see it now. This whole time, it was you who were picking
fights. Erin was just a pawn you used. So, what is it that you want to do now that
Erin has stopped talking?”
Isla didn’t expect to be called out and bit her lip in
anger.
She lowered her gaze to think for a moment, then simply laughed. “I don’t want to
do anything. I just think Keira has gone too far! She actually managed to
persuade Mr. Horton to put on such a grand act with
her!”
Her words stunned the people around her.
Keira frowned. “Are you ever going to stop?”
Isla sneered. “Can't I talk about the things you've done yourself? Everyone in the
Horton family knows Mr. Horton got married two years ago, whereas you got
married after graduation. Tell me, how did the two of you manage to get married
across those two years?”

Keira frowned.
There were complicated reasons behind it, and she
hadn't clarified them.
She said indifferently, “Mr. Horton and I are indeed legally married. Whether you
believe it or not is up to
you.”
“Still being stubborn here! Jake, isn't the wife of our
uncle always abroad?”
for
Jake had wanted to say this all along but didn’t dare to
speak due to the pressure from Lewis. Now, he immediately sneered. “Indeed,
Keira, I courted you four years. How come I didn’t know that you were my aunt by
marriage?!”

Jake chimed in. “Probably a genetic trait in the family, right? Can’t stand not
being someone else’s mistress?”
Their words were too harsh!

Compared to Erin’s words just now, it was an even deeper insult to Keira's
character!
Even Professor Miller, who usually didn’t intervene in student affairs, couldn't
stand it anymore “Enough! Isla, Jake, shut your mouths!”

Isla looked at him. “Professor Miller,
knowing she is Dr. South, you're
biased toward her, but does
someone of her questionable
personal morals deserve to be a
distinguished professor at the
school? Aren't you afraid it'll affect
the school’s reputation?!” The

Caught off-guard, Professor Miller stammered. “You...”
As a cultured man, he didn’t know how to argue with Isla and could only turn to
Keira. “Keira, tell me, is what she saying true?”
Keira’s gaze was somber. “Mr. Horton and I are indee legally married. If the
school has concerns about this, can present the marriage certificate.”
“You're still hardheaded even now?” Isla scoffed, then suddenly said, “Oh right,
there might be something you don’t know yet.”
Keira frowned. “What?”

Isla said, “In two days, it's our
great-grandmother’s 86th birthday
celebration. The Horton family is
going to host it on a grand scale.
While I and my mother-in-law were
preparing, I saw the guest list. Our
uncle's wife will be returning on that
day to make an appearance. Keira,
maybe you don't know that. My
uncle's wife has already returned to
the country! I've even got her phone
number. I can call right now to see
who she really is!” The content is on

Having said that, Isla took out her mobile phone and opened the number she had
recorded.
Keira glanced at it and couldn't help but laugh.
Wasn't that her own number?
