Keira’s calm statement made Susan’s smug expression.

Her pupils contracted as she looked at Keira in shock. “What do you mean?”
Keira pushed her aside, took a step forward, and looked at the firefighter. “Has the temperature dropped? Can we go inside to rescue people now?”
The firefighter was confused. “Our team has been inside trying to rescue people, but we haven’t found
them…”
Keira said, “Check the basement. There’s a safety room there. The two of them should be in that place.”
The firefighter paused and exclaimed with joy, “Okay, I’ll have my colleagues go rescue them right now!”
After the firefighter rushed in, everyone turned their attention to Keira.
James and Charles couldn’t help but ask, “What do you
mean?”
Keira said indifferently, “I just took some minor safety

precautions.”
As she spoke these words, she looked at Susan.
Ever since she learned that Fox had come to Crera to
sabotage her work, she and Lewis practiced in advance, thinking of countless ways Fox might ruin her relationship with the five major families.
The Gill family had taken safety measures for Nara long ago. Lewis had already sent people to protect Nara, and any approach by strangers would be met with vigilance.
They hadn’t anticipated that Fox would take such a big detour, starting with Gary, which almost resulted in Nara dying at Mrs. Spencer’s hands.
Fox could neglect anyone but Mary.
Once reconciled, Mary and Ellis’s relationship would once again form a resilient alliance between the Davis family and the Olsen family, ensuring their relationship remained unbreakable.
Thus, once the idea of murder took hold, Fox would definitely try to kill Mary by any means necessary.
Only with Mary’s death could the possibility of
reconciliation between the Olsen and Davis families he

severed…
Therefore, Keira had long ago instructed Mary not to go anywhere and to stay at home.
Moreover, there was a secret passage in her room that led directly to the basement.
This passage wasn’t Keira’s doing but something she had discovered in Keera’s diary… She didn’t know how many horrific events Keera had gone through, but secret passages had been arranged in the master bedroom, children’s room, and the guest room where Mary stayed.
As long as she could reach the underground safety room, she wouldn’t be affected by fire or flooding.
The only drawback was the need for timely rescue; otherwise, the air would be depleted, and the people in
the room could still die.
Of course, this drawback wouldn’t affect the current
situation at all.
Keira had placed enough oxygen and food for two people for three days in the safety room.
Keira had long ago taught Mary how to get to the

safety room, so if Ellis had rushed in as soon as the fire started, he definitely would have entered the safety room with Mary.
Ellis would have been in danger if he hadn’t reacted in
time.
But just now, both the firefighters and the nanny said that Ellis went in soon after the fire started…
As Keira was pondering, a voice came through the firefighter’s headset. “Found them. Both are safe! They’ll be rescued immediately!”
The firefighter immediately reported this news to
everyone.
James quickly wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, complaining, “Keera, seriously! If you knew Ellis would be fine, why didn’t you tell us sooner? You made me shed a few drops of crocodile tears…”
Upon hearing this, his second brother gave him a stern look. “Mind your language in front of your Keera!”
Charles then said, “I told you, Keera isn’t that kind of cold–blooded person! She wasn’t anxious or crying at all. It turns out she knew they weren’t in any danger!”

James immediately looked at Peter, reprimanding,
“What are you waiting for? Why don’t you apologize to Keera?”
Peter looked at Keira with an awkward expression, somewhat stubbornly retorting, “Why didn’t you say something sooner? I was just… worried out of my
mind.”
Keira didn’t respond to Peter’s words, but instead turned to Susan. “Mary and Ellis are fine. Are you disappointed?”
Her words made everyone turn to look at Susan.
Susan’s eyes flickered, and then she lowered her gaze. “Keera, how could you say that? I was just panicked and misspoke earlier. I didn’t know Ellis and Mary were safe… I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have accused you.”
After that, she looked apprehensively at others, then at Peter. “Peter, I really didn’t know. I thought Keera didn’t care about you guys because she wasn’t worried at all, so I blurted out without thinking…”
Peter clenched his jaw.
James snorted./”You sure blurted out quite a few things

Susan was taken aback.
James rolled his eyes. “Keera said you were messing around, and we initially didn’t believe her. After all, she didn’t have proof, and we didn’t want to suspect you, but you’ve been drawing attention to yourself over and over… Peter, are you sure she’s the right choice?”
Hearing this, Peter looked at Susan with suspicion.
If it hadn’t been pointed out, he wouldn’t have noticed that, indeed, right from the start, Susan had been setting the tone to target “Keera“.
He clenched his jaw tight.
