106 Parentage
Connors gaze was dark as he looked downstairs.
At this moment, he probably knew that everything was settled, and there were no more reasons to resist or
deny it, so he appeared much calmer than he did during the live broadcast.
He was handcuffed, standing there.
He turned around and then obediently sat at the interrogation table, his face showing a mix of anger and struggle.
His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Holly, What you did is against the rules!
Holly lowered the gaze. We were in debt to Miss Olsen and Mr. Horton. They didnt hold us
accountable, so helping her with this small favor is nothing. Even if the department punishes me, at most Ill get a demerit. Im not afraid.
Connor angrily slapped the table. You cant do this to me; its too cruel!
Cruel? Keira stepped forward, closing in on him. Is it

more cruel than you murdering your own father with your own hands? Connor Hill, stop playing the
innocent here. Youve seen Islas true color; you dont need to keep her secret anymore.
But Connor clutched at his head. I dont believe it! She couldnt possibly have set me up! How could she! Theres no benefit to her in doing this! You people must be playing tricks!
Keira slowly said, No benefit? Who says so?
She stood up straight and looked toward Lewis. Mr. Horton, these past few days, Isla has been trying to reconcile with Jake, but it seems he hasnt agreed to meet her, has he?
Lewis went along. The Horton family wouldnt welcome a woman who steals others credit.
Keira smiled. What about now? After her successful report, the police station will award her a commendation for bravery.
After finishing her statement, Keira winked at Lewis.
She stood gracefully, her cunning and seductive eyes giving others a sense of profound affection. Her gesture at that moment was more enchanting than
any other people, which was quite tempting.
Lewis swallowed, and his eyes darkened slightly.
He withdrew his gaze and played along. The Horton family needs this kind of positive image. Didnt you see? Jakes attitude toward her has softened.
Keira raised an eyebrow, expressing her thanks to him.
She then looked at Connor. Hear that? She did all this to get that award, and then to knock on Horton familys door.
Connors eyes were about to split with fury. Shut up!
Keira slowly closed in. So, youre really okay with her stepping on you to climb up? Youd spend the rest of your life in prison, while she could marry into the Horton family and become the young madam
I said, shut up!
Connor suddenly stood up. Even wearing handcuffs, h lunged at Keira Olsen!
Watch out!
Be careful!
Holly and Lewis didnt expect his sudden rage, and
12:44

they immediately cried out in warning, but in the next moment, they saw Keira raise her hand and seize Connors wrist, pressing it hard onto the table!
Bang!
The handcuffs and table collided, making a loud noise.
Connor tried to struggle again, but Keira casually pinned him down, and he couldnt move an inch.
He bared his teeth in a smile. Keira, you think by doing this, Ill tell you that secret? Give it up! I wont say anything!
Keira paused slightly.
Holly had already stepped forward, quickly binding the handcuffs to the interrogation tables chair, preventing
him from lashing out again.
Keira released her hold on him, her brow furrowed in inquiry. You asked me to come here, saying you had something to say.
I dont anymore.
Connor looked at her and Holly. I confess, but as the victims son, I have the right to write a letter of mercy for myself, right? That bastard drove me to a

desperate situation. Thats why I did it! I shouldnt be sentenced to death, right?
Keira frowned.
Something seemed off about Connor.
She gave Holly a meaningful glance, and the two of them stepped out of the interrogation room.
Keira asked first, Will you really be disciplined
because of this?
No, Holly said, her pretty face still tense, as she explained. You didnt hold us accountable, and you presented the evidence. Captain Lincoln and the others feel guilty about it. Theyd be more than willing to help with this small favor. Besides, we have never failed to protect the privacy of those who report crimes. Isla isnt the person who provided the
evidence, anyway.
Keira then breathed a sigh of relief.
It was good that Holly hadnt really been implicated.
She frowned. Doesnt Connors attitude seem a bit.
off?
Upon hearing this, Holly said, Thats exactly what I

was about to tell you. I just asked the colleagues who arrested him, and they said that at the time of his arrest, he was screaming about wanting to see you. But then suddenly, he calmed down and stopped shouting as if he had resigned himself to his fate.
Keira frowned and suddenly asked, Can I see his phone?
Sure.
When Connor was arrested, all his personal belongings were confiscated.
The colleague who fetched Connors phone had also been involved in the arrest, and he explained, It was after looking at his phone that Connor suddenly calmed down.

Scratching his head, he added. After we arrested him and asked him to hand over his phone, there was a message he saw. He tried to delete it, but we stopped
him.
Keira turned on his phone, and quickly checked his call history and messages, but found nothing. Then she opened WhatsApp.
His WhatsAnn was blowing in. Classmates and
17:44

relatives were bombarding him with inquiries in group
chats.
Keira ignored them all and scrolled down.
She came across the last message he had opened, which was sent by Isla.
As Keira opened it, her pupils shrank slightly at the sight of the picture.
She whirled around and strode back into the interrogation room, positioning herself directly in front of Connor. Are you not telling me because Isla is pregnant? Is it your child?
The last message Isla sent to Connor was a pregnancy
test result!
The date of conception was clearly written on it.
Connor laughed. What are you talking about? I dont understand. Islas child is, of course, Mr. Hortons, since shes about to marry him and become his wife
According to the date, it was his child!
Although Connor despised Isla so much he wished she would die with him, it was different now that Isla was
carrying his child!

All his life, he could only live in his fathers shadow, looked down upon by others Since childhood, he swore never to let his own child live this life!
Now, his child was about to become a Horton, destined for glory and riches from birth. So even if Isla betrayed him, what did it matter? As long as she could give birth
to his child
Keira observed Connors expression, knowing he wouldnt speak anymore.
But she wasnt disappointed. Instead, she suddenly leaned forward, her whole demeanor becoming confrontational. Connor, let me tell you a secret.
What?
Actually, weve been monitoring your phone. Every conversation you had with Isla, I heard it all.
Connor froze.
But Keira smirked. Did you think that if you didnt tell me the secret, I wouldnt be able to guess it? You said Isla stole my life, so, this secret is obviously related to my own identity!
Connors pupils contracted sharply!

Keira knew then that she had guessed correctly!
She and Isla Olsen were both Taylors daughters, and the only possible issue concerning their identity was
