    When Keira put down her phone, she realized that the first dance was over.


    Jake and I walked over from the dance floor, once again surrounded by a crowd of congrattions.


    At that point, someone came over. It was Jake’s sidekick, Arian O’neil, who was feeling smug. He said to Keira, “I know you are Dr. South, but what does that matter? You are just a researcher. Can youpare to young Mr. Horton’s fiancee? She has connections in nce! In this circle, it’s all about who you know!”


    Keira didn’t know what to say.


    Shepletely ignored Arian. Looking into the distance, she saw Mrs. Allen pushing Reba out and met Mr. Allen and Frankie Allen. The four seemed to talk about something, and Reba looked a bit emotional.


    She was a little worried and prepared to go over to check.


    But she didn’t expect that the moment she stepped forward, I, who just got off stage, stopped her. “Keira, are you going to see Mr. Allen?”


    I had noticed her earlier, and seeing Keira going to talk to Frankie now, she was a bit nervous and stepped in front of her.


    She didn’t know that Reba was also at the banquet. She only knew that she couldn’t let Keira talk to Frankie, in case she let slip. Frankie could tell the real from the fake with one phone call!


    Fortunately, Frankie had just asked for the person to be sent away, which gave her an excuse.


    As long as they could safely get through today, once the Allen family left, no one could expose her again!


    As soon as she started talking, Jake turned his head and saw Keira. He was stunned by her appearance.


    I was nning to let him drive Keira away, but seeing Jake infatuated with Keira and not speaking, she clenched her fists in anger.


    I took a deep breath and spoke again. “I think this is really inappropriate.


    Mr. Allen seems to not want to see you.”


    Keira gave her a cold nce. “Who do you think you are? You can make decisions for Mr. Allen?”


    I lowered her head, looking wronged.


    She definitely couldn’t break her innocent image right now. She particrly missed Poppy at this moment for her urate and useful advice!


    Fortunately, Jake finally came back to his senses. He stepped forward, shielding I behind him, and said angrily, “Keira, how can you speak like that? What do you mean by ‘who is I?’ She is my fiancee.”


    People around them immediately started talking.


    “Yes, Miss Olsen is like half the hostess. Among all the female guests here today, her status should be the highest!”


    “Who is this person? She dares to speak to Miss Olsen like that! Doesn’t she understand the saying, ‘When in Rome, do as the Romans do’?”


    “I seemed to see Mr. Horton talking to her just now. Could she be thedy brought by Mr. Horton?”


    “She’s just some woman, not Mrs. Horton. How could she possibly surpass Miss I’s esteemed status!”


    Keira frowned, toozy to listen to them speak further. She maneuvered around them and prepared to leave.


    But I took a step forward and grabbed her hand. “Keira, it’s a celebration today. There seems to be some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Allen. Don’t bother him. You man disturb the cooperation between the Horton Group and the Allen family.”


    Keira shook off I’s hand. “None of your business.”


    She didn’t use much force, but I’s eyes shed, and she intentionally took a step back and fell.


    Jake immediately red at Keira. “Keira, how could you hit her? Apologize to I now!”


    I was his fiancee, and in such a setting, he felt embarrassed.


    Keira looked amusingly at I and said, “I didn’t hit her.”


    “I saw it, and you’re still trying to deny it? So many people are watching!” Jake took a deep breath. “Keira, do you think you can do whatever you want just because my uncle and Grandmother spoil you? This is the Horton Group, not your home! You can’t cause a scene here! You need to apologize to I today and leave immediately. Don’t upset Mr. Allen!”


    There were a lot of implications hidden in those words.


    Arian purposefully asked, “Young Mr. Horton, what’s going on? Does Mr. Allen dislike her? Why?”


    Keira also wanted to know why, so she didn’t refute but looked directly at Jake.


    Jake chuckled. “Of course, it’s because when she was at the hospital…”


    Before he could finish speaking, his arm was grabbed by I.


    When Jake looked at her, I shook her head slightly and sighed. “Keira was impulsive and offended Mr. Allen, but the exact reason is personal and shouldn’t be discussed.”


    Jake thought I was talking about Reba’s issues, which definitely weren’t glorious and weren’t suitable for public discussion.


    I continued. “Jake, it was just that Keira used a little too much force when she pushed me, but she didn’t do it on purpose. I don’t need her to apologize.”


    Jake frowned. “I, you’re just too kind.”


    He red at Keira, “I has dropped the issue without ming you. Get out of here now! If you don’t leave, I’ll call security!”


    I quickly said, “Keira, Mr. Allen said earlier that he didn’t want to see you here! For the sake of the Horton Group, it’s better for you to leave.”


    The conversations between the two triggered the surrounding people.


    “The Allen family is the guest today after all. We should definitely put their preferences first. This youngdy should hurry up and leave!”


    “Exactly, hurry up and leave. Don’t embarrass yourself here!”


    “She looks quite pretty, but how thick-skinned is she!”


    Jalen, listening to these words, immediately stepped in front of Keira and shouted in anger, “Keira, I mean, Miss Olsen was invited by Mr. Horton. I’d like to see who dares to drive her away?!”


    With his words, the crowd became silent.


    “I dare.”


    Jake stepped forward and stood in front of Jalen. “I’ve made my decision. I’ll kick out this person today. Even if my uncle mes me, I’ll still kick her out to avoid hindering our cooperation with the Allen family!”


    As soon as he said this, the surrounding crowd echoed.


    “Young Mr. Horton is so decisive!”


    “Beauty is indeed a disaster. There is discord between Mr. Horton and Mr. Allen. Does the woman beside him not know how to absorb tensions? She’s even adding fuel to the fire!”


    “Marry an understanding woman! Look at her, and then look at Miss Olsen, who is so knowledgeable and understanding, and most importantly, she can handle the rtionship with the Allen family. She’s a virtuous helper indeed!”

    The raised voices of the argument attracted the attention of the entire banquet hall.


    Reba, who had just met with Frankie and Mr. Allen and was annoyed because she was told by Frankie not to have too much contact with Keira, noticed themotion over here.


    She didn’t want to join, but she suddenly noticed something. “Isn’t that the northeast corner?”


    Mr. Allen replied, “Yes.” Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    Reba was worried. “Let’s go and see if something happened to Miss Olsen!”


    Mr. Allen unconsciously looked at Frankie’s expression.


    Frankie took a deep breath. Seeing Reba’s anxious look, he eventually nodded. And so, the four of them walked in this direction..
