Chapter 959: Chapter 951: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey 1

This sentence was spoken with such sincerity that it moved everyone present.

Keira said again, "Even if they are all sent to prison, the memories won’t be erased, and the wounds will remain in my heart. I just don’t want to have any ties with them anymore. From now on, we are all strangers. Let’s forget the past."

Tiana looked at her, only feeling that she was a very kind girl.

Such a girl should be gently protected.

"Consider this my repayment for the favor of them bringing me back from the streets. From now on, we shall both be well."

May was stirred in her heart; if it were her, she might not miss this rare opportunity to punish these two evil people.

Or perhaps, she wasn’t Keira; she hadn’t experienced Keira’s pain and didn’t understand the fear in her heart.

She simply didn’t want to face these two people anymore and didn’t want that hatred to continue.

"Alright, I respect your decision."

James and Connor watched Keira and thought of their past wicked deeds; in that moment, they regretted them.

This child is so good, so kind; how could they have ever been so cruel or done so many excessive things?

James choked up a little, "Keira, I..."

Keira didn’t want to hate, but that didn’t mean she had forgiven them. She looked at him indifferently, "Mr. Jules, could you leave now?"

She didn’t call him Dad anymore.

James was stunned, suddenly a little unaccustomed.

But, Keira didn’t want to look at him any longer.

Connor took James away.

A short while later, the papers to renounce guardianship were signed, and Keira was finally liberated; she felt an unprecedented lightness.

At the same time, Naomi received fifty million funds in her account, and she was stunned.

Tiana helped her find out that it was transferred by James.

Keira’s last words made him change his ways; he just wanted to do something to make up for Keira, to feel somewhat secure.

Naomi didn’t want to take anyone’s money, especially since Keira wouldn’t want a penny from the Jules family.

Tiana said casually, "James has a billion-dollar fortune. He’s willing to give half to Keira, indicating he sincerely regrets it. However, Keira’s past wounds and her forgiveness are not quantifiable by money. Ultimately, James is still a selfish person, wishing to alleviate his guilt in this way to live his later life more comfortably."

"I don’t want this money. I can support Keira with my own two hands."

Naomi nodded, "Alright, I’ll help you return it."

James should feel remorseful for his past actions for the rest of his life.

After the money was returned, everyone felt very satisfied.

Naomi looked at the sleeping Keira and revealed a gentle smile, "From now on, Keira can’t call me sister anymore."

Given the age difference, they can only be mother and daughter.

Tiana asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

After all, most men can’t accept a single mother with a child who is not biologically theirs.

Naomi smiled, raising the corners of her mouth, happiness overflowing from within, "No shackles of marriage, no battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; instead, I have such a lovely child. The world should envy me."

Tiana only felt that she made a lot of sense.

"As for matters of the heart, let’s see what fate brings. If someone is willing to accept Keira and treat her well, I will consider it. However, living freely with a child, isn’t it more liberating?"

Tiana looked at her beautiful, gentle face, sensing that she had a strong woman vibe at her core, so transparent in mentality. She also believed Naomi would have a good life in the future.

"I wish you luck."

"Thank you."

Afterward, Tiana turned and walked out of the ward.

Naomi watched her back, felt a movement in her heart, and called out to her, "Miss Thorne."

Tiana turned to look at her, "Is there something else?"

Naomi expressed genuine gratitude, "Thank you."

She might somewhat understand why the always-single Aiden suddenly fell in love with her. Fate is only part of it; the real reason is that she is worthy of being loved.

Tiana smiled, "We can be considered friends now. Such formal words don’t need to be said in the future."

Naomi listened, suddenly feeling a bit excited inside.

Up until now, because she was introverted and a workaholic, she never had friends, slightly pursing her lips, "Are we friends?"

Tiana thought about Naomi’s diligent effort in Keira’s matters and remembered how she rebuked Sue Rooney before.

This friend is worthwhile.

She smiled lightly, "Of course."

Naomi also smiled.

She was very grateful to know Tiana.

After that, Tiana opened the door to the room, looking at Theo and May, who were waiting for her outside, "Let’s go."

Theo looked at her good mood and smiled slightly, "Where are you heading next? I’ll drive."

Tiana playfully smiled, "Brother Theo, do you want to be my chauffeur?"

Theo gently pushed his glasses like a gentleman, "It would be my honor."

"Then bother, brother, to take me to the company."

Before coming here, she also contacted Jordan. Today, she’s headed to the company to have a good look around.

"Alright."

May asked, "Tiana, should I come along?"

"Do you have other things to do?"

May shook her head, "No."

Tiana hooked her arm, smiling mischievously, "If not, then let’s go together. See how I, the female CEO, manage things — isn’t that great?"

Theo heard her words and before he came back, had already heard several brothers mentioning how lively Tiana’s personality is. But spending time with her now, he realized it’s not just lively.

This girl was born to be cherished.

Thirty minutes later, they were about to reach Zenith Media.

Tiana first dialed Jordan’s phone.

Jordan soon answered, "President."

Tiana gave a gentle smile, speaking very politely, "I’ll be there in ten minutes. I’m not familiar with the route; could I trouble President York to come out and meet me?"

"President, you’re too kind. I’ll be downstairs right away."

"Thank you."

After hanging up, Tiana looked at Theo, "Brother, can you go in with me later?"

"Afraid?"

Tiana shook her head, a sly sparkle in her eyes, lazily curving her lips, "Your little Sixteen never gets scared. It’s just, having such a prestigious lawyer brother, of course, I want to show off a bit."

Theo shook his head, amused but not refusing, "Alright, I’ll do as you wish."

Tiana heard this and secretly smiled, "Brother, have you been possessed by my oldest brother?"

"Why do you say that?"

Tiana raised her eyebrows slightly, "He often says this."

Theo laughed again, irresistibly charming, "It’s because your brothers all love you, silly girl."

At this moment, the car had already reached downstairs at the company—taking the first step into her life as a female CEO.
