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 listened to the slander from the journalists and Poppy with merely a bitter smile, and her head bowed low.
She knew that if she didn't relent today, such defamation would follow her for life, and she had braced herself mentally for it.
Therefore, she didn't retort.
She even planned to publicly sever ties with Poppy! Even if such an act would subject her to the scorn and vilification of thousands!
But she never expected Holly to make such a statement.
Keira was shocked as she looked toward Holly, her first reaction one of disbelief.
After all, the story of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" had already played out twice in her case.
She had thought the same thing on both those occasions, so for the third time, she found it hard to believe.
Her mouth opened as if to tell Holly not to joke about such things...
But before the words could come out, she suddenly realized something was amiss.
