Chapter 935: Chapter 929: Lawyer Brother 1

May Sloane was incredulous: "What?"

She wiped away her tears, initially feeling particularly angry because of Keira’s childhood, but unexpectedly, Sue Rooney intervened, her hands tightly clenched into fists: "What did Sue do?"

Naomi Kirby also looked at her, all of this sounded too unbelievable, yet it forced one to believe.

Tiana Thorne’s eyes were filled with coldness as she spoke softly: "A while back, Sue Rooney was advertising for a brand of yogurt, do you remember?"

"Yes."

"At that time, it was the famous singer Oscar Drake paired with Sue Rooney, and in the advertisement clip, Keira played Oscar Drake’s sister. A girl like Keira, with such a pure and sweet smile, no one could resist the healing in her smile."

Naomi and May nodded, showing strong agreement.

Tiana continued: "Because Sue Rooney had once had a crush on Oscar Drake, on set, Oscar was too nice to Keira, almost always holding her, which made Sue Rooney jealous."

May exclaimed: "Is she crazy? Just a little girl, what’s there to be jealous about? Moreover, isn’t a well-behaved, sensible, and pretty girl like Keira worthy of being treated well by others?"

Yes, what did Keira do wrong?

Yet she suffered Sue Rooney’s poisonous treatment without realizing it.

Tiana’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, her voice growing colder: "That’s the kind of person Sue Rooney is, she cannot accept others being more dazzling than her. In her heart, she believed that the chance to have an advertisement with Oscar Drake was hard-earned, only to be overshadowed by Keira."

Speaking of this, her always charming and bright-star-like eyes gradually dimmed.

What followed was outrageous whenever she thought about it.

May and Naomi imagined Keira must have suffered inhuman torture and abuse, unwilling to ask further, only listening to her continue.

Tiana felt as if there was a weight on her chest, making it hard to breathe smoothly, she took a deep breath before saying: "She tore up the princess dress Oscar Drake personally chose for Keira, took a photo of her, and threatened her—if she ever smiled at men like that again, she’d post the photo online."

The situation at that time was worse than this.

Upon hearing that, May and Naomi were shaking with anger.

This is simply a deranged woman.

Oscar Drake liking Keira, what is wrong with that?

May asked: "Does Sue Rooney still have the photo?"

"Yes."

"That malicious woman." May gritted her teeth, unable to hold back, was so angry she started to cry.

Naomi lowered her head, feeling heartbroken, took a heavy breath before saying: "In Keira’s heart, she thought that as long as she smiled at others every day, she’d receive goodness from strangers and not be hit anymore. Sue Rooney made her believe that even smiling would result in harm."

May asked: "So, she chose to end her life by taking poison at the source of evil?"

Naomi said: "Yes, this girl, both inside and out, was already covered in wounds..."

Tiana’s heart wrenched painfully, she didn’t understand why in this world there are mothers like this, step by step pushing their own daughters into hell’s abyss.

And Connor Jules, who harbored the same evil intentions as his father James Jules, and the one who hit Keira the most was Connor.

As her brother, he failed to protect her even a bit, instead continuously blamed and abused her.

Tiana suddenly felt, not every brother could be as loving and unwilling to let their sister suffer even a little bit as her brothers were to her.

In her mind once again flashed the look in Keira’s eyes the last time she saw her.

Keira had worked in the entertainment industry and collaborated with many celebrities multiple times, she should have also heard that Tiana could tell fortunes.

In the bathroom at that time, Keira actually hoped that maybe she could help her.

But she didn’t, what had happened before was a blank slate to her, and only when she decisively left, was death the only relief.

She withdrew her thoughts, coldly narrowing her eyes: "Gaining custody of Keira is the priority, additionally, Sue Rooney must pay a grievous price for what she has done."

Just then, hurried footsteps echoed through the corridor.

The three of them turned around and saw a plump man rushing over.

James Jules wore a worried expression, depicting a good father incredibly well: "Keira, oh Keira, my dear daughter, what’s happened? My precious girl, why did she end up in the emergency room?"

Behind him was a young man also dressed with worry, coming in front of Naomi: "Miss Kirby, what happened to my sister? You picked her up from school in the morning, how did this unfold in the afternoon?"

Naomi looked at this gentle appearance, once she felt moved that this brother without a blood tie was so good to Keira.

Now, seeing his affected manner, only made her feel nauseous, wishing she could reach out and give him a hard slap.

But she held back for Keira’s sake.

Before gaining guardianship of Keira, she couldn’t make any rash moves, such impulsive action could lose the case.

Tiana narrowed her eyes, eyes full of cold mockery, asking word by word: "James Jules, why is Keira like this, shouldn’t we be asking you?"

"What do you mean? Wasn’t the child together with you all day?"

Ha.

Have you ever seen such blame-shifting?

This day, even our little fox fairy saw it for the first time, her gaze fell on Connor’s face, only to see Connor also looking at her, not sure what vile thoughts he was brewing, even swallowed.

Wasting that still somewhat delicate-looking face.

Her eyes remained cold: "And you, when you found Keira missing, called you, what were you busy with, not picking up at least thirty calls?"

"I was temporarily at school teaching, the phone was on silent."

Tiana remembered, when she returned to the shooting location, someone from the director group saw Keira leaving the scene and stopped her, Keira said her brother picked her up on the roadside.

The crew had previously seen Keira’s brother, didn’t think much of it.

Connor bears the greatest responsibility for this matter.

She raised her eyebrows: "Teaching or not can easily be checked, even so, as Keira’s brother and manager, you left the set without permission, couldn’t be reached, don’t you think you bear any blame?"

She paused for a second, looking at James, her tone shifting: "If responsibility should be pursued, shouldn’t it be your own son’s responsibility?"

This word "own son," was a slap in the face to James.

Look, both are his children, one lying in the emergency room uncertainly between life and death, the other clearly having done wrong, yet no blame at all.

Tiana thought of all the unfair treatment she received from childhood to adulthood, at this moment, she deeply understood.

Not being biological, does it mean being treated this way?

However, James showed no remorse at all: "My daughter was with you when something happened, you must give me an explanation for this matter."
