Ellis saw Uncle Olsenâs expression and couldnât help himself from asking, âUncle, since Mrs. Olsen
said she didnât want to see you, why donât you just go back? Sheâs heartbroken now, and your
presence here is not making things any better.â
Uncle Olsen glared at him.
Ellis immediately realized that his comment might have
been too harsh.
He coughed and then said, âYou just mentioned something was amiss, so what is it thatâs not right?â
Uncle Olsen lowered his eyes. âMiss South has always been strong-willed. Her daughter has died, and
the murderer hasnât been found. Would she ask me to leave? When she sent me the message, my first
thought was that she would want me to avenge her daughter.â
Jodie South was never a weak character.
Her health wasnât good, and she was fainting frequently, but a personâs nature wouldnât change.
Ellis couldnât help but ask, âThen why donât you just barge in and ask her directly?â
Uncle Olsen gave him a sideways glance.
Ellis immediately understood something. âNo way, no way, have I stumbled upon something? Ha!
Uncle, youâre not afraid of anything, but youâre afraid of Mrs. Olsen getting angry?â
Uncle Olsen was speechless.
He wondered what he should do with this idiotic
nephew.
He did fear that it was Jodieâs wish for him not to
interfere, and if he disobeyed and barged in, Jodie might end up hating him.
Uncle Olsen silently sighed and looked down at his phone.
Unexpectedly, after sending out the message, there was still no response from the other side.
It was just like last time when they made plans but he had to rush off with Jodie to the sea to search for
someone, and while waiting for the retrieval process, he remembered the appointment and sent her a
203 Meeting Again
message.
The young friend also didnât reply at all.
At the time, he thought the young friend was angry, but now that he thought about it, when they met at
the Horton familyâs condolence visit, she didnât seem to hold a grudge against him!
Uncle Olsen was puzzled and scratching his head, but he quickly thought of something, opened
WhatsApp, found âHoward,â and sent a message. âWhere are you
staying?â
Howard indeed replied immediately. âFour Seasons Hotel. Uncle Olsen, is there something you need?â
Uncle Olsen. âIâm coming to find you. Iâll take your whole family to dinner tonight.â
It was a gesture to make up for missing the appointment with the young friend last time.
After seeing Mrs. Olsen, Keira gave several orders to Samuel to find the murderer as soon as possible.
When she ultimately parted with Samuel, and he asked, âBoss, when will you be able to reclaim your
identity?â
Keira knitted her brows and said, âWeâll talk about it
after the murderer is found.â
Only when she knew who the murderer was and why they wanted to kill them, and could ensure her
own safety, could she live under her true identity again.
Keira arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Just as she found the private room where Howard and his family were staying, she saw Howard and
his mother excitedly preparing clothes. Howardâs mother even took out Amyâs dress to dress her up
beautifully.
Glancing at Keira, Howard lifted his chin and scoffed. âYouâre just in time to come bac for dinner. Hurry
up and change into something more formal. Donât embarrass me tonight!â
Keira paused slightly. âDinner?â
Howard then excitedly opened his mouth. âYes, today Uncle Olsen and I hit it off immediately. Do you
know who Uncle Olsen is? Heâs the one in charge of the Clance Olsen family, one of the five major
families of Clance. He just sent me a message saying he is inviting us to dinner tonight!â

Howardâs mother chimed in right away. âSon, you are so capable, to think that coming to Oceanion we
could encounter such distinguished people, and youâve managed to get connected! My god, thatâs the
Clance Olsen family! Normally, we could only see such people in financial magazines, and he has
taken a fancy to
you!â
When Keira heard Uncle Olsenâs name, she was slightly
stunned.
Before, Uncle Olsen had frequently wanted to meet her, but she hadnât gone to see him, and now that
she had become Keera, she suddenly got the opportunity.
But how could someone like Howard ever get in touch with Uncle Olsen?
She glanced at Howard and saw that he was indeed handsome, with a refined and scholarly
appearance-a truly good-looking fellow. It must have been this handsome face that had charmed
Keera!
Little did anyone know he was just an empty suit!
The look of disdain in Keiraâs eyes made Howard chuckle. âI told you, Iâm really good at business.
Today, I had a chat with Uncle Olsen about the future
economic trends, and he listened patiently throughout.
Now he has invited me to dinner, which must mean he thinks highly of my insights! Alright, letâs go, we
canât keep Uncle Olsen waiting!â-
Keira didnât bother with idle chit-chat.
Since she had decided to investigate her sisterâs death under the guise of Keera, she would play along
with them to avoid complications.
She bowed her head and changed into a suitable tweed
coat.
Then she went into the bathroom to carefully wash off
the iodine on her faceâ¦
Although the color wouldnât fade immediately, at least it wasnât as yellow as it had been during the day.
Once they were dressed, they headed downstairs.
Howard chose Fragrance Hall on the carâs navigation and started the vehicle.
Howardâs mother asked, âWhat place is Fragrance Hall?â
Howard immediately replied with pride, âFragrance Hall is a famous private restaurant in Oceanion. Iâve
263 Moeting Again
just heard about it. It seems to be owned by Mrs. Horton, and itâs hard to get in without a reservation!
The elites of Oceanion love to dine here. Uncle Olsen inviting us to eat here shows he really values
me!â
Howardâs mother immediately glared at Keira. âSon, I have always known you are destined for great
things. Youâve always been the most impressive in our village. What a shame to marry Keera!
Speaking of which, your status donât sound good when you mention it. Keera, on, say you have married
into our family, got

at little wretch, once we return to Clance,
ately change her surname to Howardâs,
wise, I wonât acknowledge her as my ddaughter!â
oward immediately said, âIt doesnât matter if a girl hanges her surname or not. Keera, when you get
back to Clance, just transfer the company shares and legal representative status to me, and add my
name to the property ownership certificateâ¦â
Keira ered inwardly but didnât speak.
was going to assume her sisterâs identity, she d reclaim everything that belonged to her sister!
But for now, she couldnât be bothered to argue about these things.
Seeing Keiraâs lack of response, Howardâs mother became irate. âWhat kind of attitude is that? You are
eating Howardâs food, living in Howardâs house, and even dining in a private restaurant like Fragrance
Hall, all thanks to Howardâs connections! You must change your name once we return! Have you heard
me?â
Keiraâs expression turned cold, and Howard intervened. âOkay, Mom, thatâs enough, weâre here.â
Howardâs mother gave her a fierce look, âTake care of that burdensome girl, and make sure to behave
properly later. Donât get dazzled by the wealth and humiliate my son. If you do, Iâll punish you and that
burdensome girl severely afterward!â
They parked the car and had just gotten out when someone greeted them, âIs this Mr. Smithâs family?
Uncle Olsen has been waiting for you in the private
room for a long time.â
Howard immediately smiled. âYes, thatâs us, please lead the wayâ¦

The assistant to Uncle Olsen held a different status in

Clance, and people like Howard couldnât afford to act superior in front of him.
The assistant smiled and walked ahead.
Howard and his mother entered the grand Fragrance
Hall first.
The place was elegantly decorated with a classic feel, and there were little streams and bridges. The
whole atmosphere was distinct.
Howard and his mother cautiously surveyed their surroundings, and his mother even whispered a
warning. âKeera, hold that burdensome girl tight. Everything here is incredibly valuable, and if you
accidentally break something, selling you wouldnât
cover the cost!â
Keira snorted to herself.
Finally, they arrived at the door to the private room. Howard nervously adjusted his clothes, and after
proudly glancing back at Keira, he pushed open the door.
Keira looked in indifferently and caught a glimpse of a mature man sitting inside.

He was brewing tea, and upon hearing the door open, he looked up.
His subtle movements exuded an aura of nobility, inspiring a sense of awe.
Howardâs face brimmed with eagerness to please, and his mother barely dared to breathe.
Only Keira paused for a moment, then cried out,
âHandsome Uncle?â
