Keira Olsen found herself married without even knowing it! What's more, her husband-out-of-the-blue turned out to be the richest person in town! As an illegitimate daughter, she's been clawing and scrambling her way up, struggling to survive since childhood. She never expected to wed someone so powerful. When everyone thought she'd be quickly divorced, her husband shocked everyone by a declaration."My dear wife, can we not divorce?"
Keira arrived in the hallway outside old Mr. Sims' office.
When she last visited, the area was still open and not sealed off. Now, it was blocked, restricting entry to unauthorized personnel.
Holly's footsteps were unsteady, reflecting her anxiety.
They reached old Mr. Sims' office, where Holly hesitated at the door, prompting Keira to push it open.
Inside, they found an elderly man.
His full head of silver hair and wrinkled face still held traces of the authority he once commanded.
As he stood watering the plants and not looking at them, he said, "I've admitted my crimes already. There's no need to come and ask again."
Holly began to tremble.
Despite everyone saying old Mr. Sims had confessed, she never believed it.
But hearing those words from her grandfather's mouth made her feel as though her world was collapsing.
She staggered forward, her voice trembling. "Grandpa, it's not like that."
