House One Manor of Oceanion was quite legendary.

It sat halfway up a hill with the whole community sprawling across three thousand acres, and Horton’s old house bathed in over two thousand acres.

The rest were a few dozen small villas that dotted around the Horton property.

It was the most famous rich district in Oceanion.

Keira assumed the elderly lady lived in one of those small villas; it never crossed her mind that this could be the Horton house.

She replied to a message. “That’s alright. We’re already in a taxi.”

The elderly lady looked tired and was dozing off as soon as she got into the car.

The taxi winded its way on a broad and well-maintained mountain road before entering House One Manor and dropped them at the location specified by the GPS.

Keira looked up at a grandeur black gate, which was carved with antique patterns, and hesitated. “Grandma, is this your home?”

The elderly lady, still half-asleep, looked dazed. “Granddaughter-in-law, I can’t remember.”

Keira was speechless.

She messaged “Grandson”. “I think we might have taken the wrong turn.”

“Grandson” replied, “Stay put. I’ll be right there.”

As they drove in, Keira noticed that even the nearest house was a five-minute drive away; it wasn’t wise to wander around.

She helped the elderly lady to a stone bench nearby to sit.

Suddenly, a BMW X7 pulled up in front of them.

Isla and Poppy got out of the back seat and marched toward them.

Poppy’s brows furrowed in anger, and she cried out, “Keira? It really is you! What are you doing here?”

She was here today as Isla’s nanny. She spotted a young woman lingering in front of Horton’s house from afar, never expecting it to be Keira!
