Hey everyone! Buckle up, because the update you've all been BEGGING for (okay, maybe politely requesting ) is FINALLY HERE!

Chapter 156: A Slap in the Face
Once the marriage certificate photo was revealed, the scene erupted into an uproar.
Lewis scanned the crowd with a contemptuous smile. "Surely none of you are still questioning the authenticity of this marriage certificate, are you? Do I need to take each of you to the courthouse to verify it?"
Everyone present was dumbfounded.
Isla's pupils shrank violently as she looked at Keira in disbelief.
How could this be... How could it be?!
Wasn't Keira only recently married? How could it be from two years ago?
But she knew the marriage certificate must be real.
With so many reporters present, Lewis wouldn't have forged a document...
Jake's entire face had turned deathly pale.
Keira was indeed married to his uncle... She had been his aunt all along!
Against others, Jake could contend or use some forceful measures, but it was Jake's nature to fear Lewis!
Oliver and Nathan's faces darkened, and both were somewhat disappointed.
They exchanged a glance, their complexions looking extremely ugly.
They had thought that they could use this event to topple Lewis, but they hadn't expected things turn out to be like this!
Seeing the marriage certificate, Keira arched an eyebrow.
She suddenly understood why Lewis was late! He had been fishing!
The curtain was originally under the control of the first branch of the family; it was meant to display private photos, but now it showed the marriage certificate, indicating Lewis had known it all along.
But Lewis took advantage of the situation, slapping the first branch's face!
This huge blunder must have caused those who followed the first branch to waver.
As she mused, Mrs. Olsen was also staring at the marriage certificate in shock!!
Mrs. Olsen had never expected such an outcome and looked at Keira with an indescribable expression. "When you kept asking me to look at the marriage certificate, was this what you meant?"
Keira lowered her gaze, obviously hurt.
This was the first time in her life that Mrs. Olsen hadn't believed her... Keira nodded, "Yes."
"I..."
Mrs. Olsen attempted to explain something, but then suddenly found herself unable to speak.
She hadn't anticipated this.
Facing Keira, a sense of guilt surged in her chest.
Several times, Keira tried to explain, but she and Isla interrupted Keira. Keira handed the marriage certificate to her to see, but she didn't look...
