    The conference room was dead quiet.


    Everyone was stupefied, looking at Samuel incredulously. Their eyes were Sliding back and forth between Keira and Samuel, feeling as if their brains had frozen.


    Why would Samuel call Keira, Dr. South?


    Could Keira be Dr. South?


    Jake shouted, “Samuel, what are you messing around with? Dr. South’s identity isn’t to be taken lightly!”


    Samuel chuckled. “I knew you’d all question this.”


    He took out his patent proof from his bag and held it up for everyone to see. It was Dr. South’s identification, and the name written on it was clearly Keira. With the official seals, there was no way to forge this.


    Jake’s pupils contracted, and he stood there in shock as though struck by lightning.


    He stared nkly at Keira, suddenly feeling like he was a joke!!


    At first, he gave up on her to choose I, not only because of Keira’s illegitimate status but also because I could provide him with the connections of Dr. South, helping him secure a strong footing in the Horton Group’s R&D department…


    But now, he was being made a fool!


    He red at I, his face twisted into fury. “What is happening?!”


    I was shaking uncontrobly.


    Originally, implying that Poppy had stolen Keira’s n and iming it was given by Dr. South was a risky move, but everything was going ording to her


    Everyone had assumed that it was Keira who had stolen the n, and to avoid angering Dr. South, they would certainly not bring it up in front of him.


    Even if Samuel showed up to testify on behalf of Keira, not many people would believe him!


    But she never expected that Keira would turn out to be Dr. South!


    She bit her lip hard, trying to say something to appease Jake’s fury, but she didn’t know what to say…


    Poppy, seeing this, violently picked herself up from the ground and flung her hand toward Keira. “Bastard! How can you be Dr. South? You were always a poor student and barely scraped into college. This is impossible! Samuel must be lying for you! Tell everyone that you’re a fraud, that you stole the n from your sister!”


    Where was the mother-daughter love from just a moment ago?


    Keira took a step back to dodge her attack, saying coldly, “Have you forgotten why my grades were poor?”


    Poppy was startled.


    “When I first started school, my very first exam, I ranked first in the ss Who was it that made me kneel all night for trying to overshadow I? Who was it that made me leave all my exams nk and stop me from learning? Who threatened me, saying if I dared to do well in school, I would be sold to human traffickers?”


    Keira looked down, her tone indifferent. “I had to work harder than anyone else. After all, getting just low grades during an entrance exam was hard.” She rarely mentioned her past, but now with Poppy painting a picture of a perfect mother, these words needed to be said to refute her usations.


    Everyone was stunned and looked at Poppy in disbelief.


    Who would believe that such a mother existed in this world?


    The head of the Administrative Department was frozen in ce.


    He originally thought that this mother he felt so sorry for was a pitiful person but now he knew the truth. N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    Lewis stood up, his lips pressed tightly together as he looked at Keira somberly.


    Her words were light and seemed like she was talking about someone else’s story, but he knew that every word she uttered tore at the wounds of her past, presenting to everyone a bloody truth!


    He remembered the things he had asked Tom to investigate…


    She left the Olsen family in middle school, worked while studying, and barely made it into Oceanion University.


    Oceanion University’s tuition wasn’t cheap, yet she never applied for financial aid. She worked countless jobs outside…


    When he saw Tom’s investigation, he didn’t feel sorry for her.


    But at this moment, as she let down all her pride and calmly revealed her dark past, he felt a constriction in his chest, so ufortable that it was suffocating.


    POPPY, listening to all this, showed no remorse and instead shouted angrily, “You faked your grades? Well, you’re ying me, Keira! How dare you trick me at such a young age! I shouldn’t have sent you to school! You’re nothing but garbage! A bastard! You were so cunning to keep it hidden! You secretly set up this situation, deliberately framing I!”


    “Enough!”


    Lewis couldn’t listen any further. He snorted and looked directly at I. “Miss


    I, do you have anything to say?!”


    Poppy was Keira’s mother… In this matter, she was clearly just a pawn being used. Lewis didn’t want to deal with her and looked directly at the mastermind.


    Immediately, I clenched her fists, her instincts making her look toward Jake.


    Jake’s face was gloomy as he stared at her. “You better give me an exnation!”


    I’s eyes filled with tears, and she cried. “I, I don’t know… Jake, please believe me. Dr. South really did send me an email… Aunt Hill, what the hell is going


    Poppy scoffed. “I did all this, it has nothing to do with I!”


    She looked at Keira. “You called the police on me the other day, got me arrested, and thrown in jail for two days. Since getting out of custody, I’ve been thinking of ways to take revenge on you! I heard from I in passing about thepetition in your R&D department, and that’s how I came up with this n! When you visited Mrs. Olsen in the hospital that day, I stole yourputer and stole the file! The video you guys saw just now, I wasn’t stealing something from I’sputer. I was delivering something to her! I was using Dr. South to defeat you, an ungrateful daughter!”


    She no longer looked helpless and pitiable as she did before, but instead like a Shrew. With her hands on her hips, she stared at Keira. “I’m your mom. What can you do to me? Plus, I’m not an employee of the Horton Group, so you can’t punish me!”


    Keira found her ignoranceughable.


    Just as she was about to speak, Lewis’s voice once again rang out. “Jalen, take


    Dr. South back first. I’ll handle the matter here.”


    Keira was slightly startled.


    She understood that Lewis was worried that her position wouldplicate matters if Horton Group decided to hold Poppy ountable, so he deliberately asked her to leave.


    She thought for a moment and epted this gesture of goodwill.


    She, Jalen, and Samuel left the conference room together. They took the


    elevator down to the R&D department.


    Jalen looked stunned, staring at Keira as if he was seeing a ghost…


    It wasn’t until they got back to the office that he finally came back to his senses.


    The moment they returned to the office, their whole team swarmed over.


    “What happened? What was the final verdict?”


    “Jalen, why do you look so upset? Is Miss Olsen facing serious consequences?” Everyone was extremely worried, especially Luca, who was pacing nervously.


    “Keira, what should we do now? I heard that Dr. South’s assistant also came.


    We can go find him and ask Dr. South to be lenient…”


    Right, as long as Dr. South speaks for you, this matter will be over!”


    Keira didn’t know what to say.


    While everyone was talking, Jalen finally snapped back to reality. He pointed at


    Keira and stuttered, “You, are you really… Dr.. South?!”
