Chapter 661

Keira shot Erin a look. “You seem rather gleeful about this.”

Erin pressed her lips together, trying to suppress a smile. “Gleeful? Not at all! We’re practically cousins, after all. I’m just concerned for you!”

Keira arched an eyebrow.

Erin trotted alongside her toward the Horton family’s living room. “Do you know why Eve Clark and Selena Horton are here today? It’s probably because you helped old Mr. Sims, and now the Hortons are likely determined to avoid an alliance with you. So now, Eve is the new candidate for the alliar e. For the Hortons, it’s bound to leave a good impression.”

Erin continued munching on pistachios, her words flowing easily. “There’s an old Creran saying: ‘Misfortune never comes alone. When you’re down, it feels like the whole world is against you.

“So, you see, you need to learn to pick and choose.

Erin took another pistachio. “Do you regret helping

Old Mr. Sims?”

“Not at all,” Keira said firmly.

“For you, it’s all about weighing benefits, but for me, I have just one principle.”

“What principle?”

Erin blinked, her curiosity piqued, as she continued to snack.

Keira looked at her steadily. “To act with a clear conscience.”

Erin paused, a hint of surprise crossing her face. Her pistachio–cracking slowed down as she took in Keira’s words.

After a moment, Erin scoffed. “That sounds easy to say but is so hard to do. How many people can honestly say they’ve never had any regrets? Haven’t you ever felt guilt or sorrow?”

Keira lowered her gaze.

When she was younger, she felt guilty as the illegitimate child, feeling she owed Jodie South an apology.

As she grew older, she realized it wasn’t something within her control and gradually learned to forgive herself.

Eventually, she felt she didn’t owe anyone anything.

Until she met Keera… She owed her sister her life.

Keira turned her attention back to the present and changed the subject. “I don’t recall you eating this much before. Now, every time I see you, you’re snacking.”

Erin shrugged. “Alright. Let’s go. I want to see what your rival looks like!

Erin’s curiosity was evident as she jogged ahead toward the living room, craning her neck to catch a glimpse.

Keira didn’t know what to say.

She followed, and as they arrived at the living room, she overheard Lewis’s father shouting, “Have you seen how the Olsen family’s stock has plummeted? Public favor is crucial for any business! You must break up with your fiancée immediately, or the Horton family will be ruined!”

Then, Lewis’s older brother spoke up. “Lewis, Dad’s only looking out for you. Your fianc ́e is a disaster. I heard that since returning to the Olsen family, she’s ruined two of her brother’s marriages! If you marry her, the Horton family will face continuous turmoil.” Selena’s voice could also be heard. “Uncle Lewis, Ms. Eve Clark has deep feelings for you. Marrying her would greatly enhance our company’s image.”

Keira’s eyes narrowed at the conversation.

Erin turned back with a smirk. “Your popularity at the Hortons isn’t looking too good.”

Keira gave her an exasperated look.

Erin winked and suddenly said, “How about I tell you a secret?”

“What secret?”

“You must have heard Grandpa talk about it, right? The South family has the ability to predict the future. Want to know how we do it?”
