149 Shes Mrs. Horton!
Keira walked past Isla and approached Madeleine. Just as she was about to enter the room, Madeleine
suddenly asked, Who are you?
Her voice was faint, and she appeared fragile as if posing no threat.
Keira frowned slightly but said nothing.
Isla then said, Auntie, this is Keira. Didnt Great-grandma fall ill and mistake her for you? Thats why Mr. Horton has been letting her stay at the house Now there are all kinds of rumors going around, saying that Keira is my uncles mistress
Isla! Mrs. Olsen warned her, interrupting what Isla was about to say next.
Isla pouted but didnt continue; however, the meaning behind her words was clear.
Ignoring her, Keira kept her gaze on Madeleine and asked directly, Miss Davis, right? Are you truly Mrs. Horton?
She found Madeleine somewhat inscrutable.
149 Shes Mrs. Horton!
Her question was both a probe and an opportunity for her to clarify things.
Isla immediately scoffed. Keira, you really outdo your mother in attendance. Youre so arrogant before the real deal. Your mom wouldnt dare to pass gas in front of my mom; if youre going to be someones mistress, at least learn from your mothers attitudes, right?
Mrs. Olsens complexion changed drastically, her voice trembling, Isla!
She couldnt understand why her daughter was being so sharp-tongued and repulsive!
But Isla seemed completely unaware of her mistake, and retorted, Whats wrong? Did I say something incorrect? What right does she have to question Aunties identity? Shes so arrogant Mom, you always tell me to shut up, but why dont you tell her to shut up?
Mrs. Olsen gasped for air and clutched her chest, her body trembling.
Keira, however, paid them no heed and kept her eyes on Madeleine, Are you going to talk?
Madeleine looked natrified hu their auarreling Cha

gaped with innocent, doe eyes, bewildered and panicked by everything in front of her. She then replied weakly, I- please dont be angry Im not in good health. I wont fight you for anything As long as Lewis keeps taking care of me, thats enough I also want to thank you, for helping take care of Grandma during this time
She bowed her head, her fingers idly intertwining. Lewis is too busy taking care of me and has no time for Grandma. Having you help us stay with grandma, Im happy, and Lewis is happy too
Immediately, Keira clenched her fists and took a step forward, So then, answer my question, are you Mrs. Horton?
She was truly getting impatient.
Madeleine looked delicate and weak, but her words
were causing a great deal of confusion!
None of her words explicitly stated whether she was Mrs. Horton or not, but every sentence implicitly spoke from the perspective of Mrs. Horton.
She didnt like such ambiguities.
Frowning Keira saw that Madeleine looked frightened

by her demeanor and quickly hid behind Isla, glancing at her in a panic. I-I wont fight with you for him Please, dont be angry, stop this
As soon as these words came out, Isla immediately stood in front of her, righteously accusing Keira. What are you doing? I know youre powerful, often resolving issues through physical means outside, but this is my aunt! Shes already very frail. If you dare touch a single hair on her, lets see if Mr. Horton will let you off!
Keira frowned, I didnt lay a hand on her
Madeleine then hastily cried out. She didnt lay a hand on me, no, she didnt
Isla scoffed. Thats because you escaped before she could act, right? Keira, I really didnt expect you to become so brazen! In front of my mom and all these people, you even dared to threaten Mrs. Horton! You kept pressing her. What did you want her to say? Did you want her to hand over Uncle Lewis to you? How shameless can you be, to bully a sick person like this?!
Keira felt a surge of anger welling up within her.
She stepped forward. I was just trying to get things

clear. From start to finish, its been you doing all the talking. I want her to tell me herself, whether or not shes actually Mrs. Horton!

Isla scoffed again and turned to look at Madeleine. Auntie, dont be scared! Assert your status and stature
as the legal wife. This is the Horton residence, not some place where a mistress can cause trouble at will!
Madeleine immediately grabbed her dress nervously, bowing her head, Miss Keira, thank you
Isla showed a look of frustration. Why would you thank her? She stole your husbands and your grandmas affection. How can you be so weak and incompetent No wonder Uncle Lewis has been so openly messing around outside!
Madeleine stuttered, Dont talk nonsense. Without evidence, as long as Lewis doesnt abandon me, its fine.
Isla said, If you keep this up, it wont be long before he does abandon you!
Slap!
Mrs. Olsen couldnt stand it any longer and slapped

149 Shes Mrs. Horton!
Isla across the face. I told you to shut up! Stop causing trouble here!
Islas head was jerked to the side from the slap. She
Was
stunned, then glared at Mrs. Olsen and shouted, Why should I shut up? Keira is clearly the one whos in the wrong this time!
Mom, in your eyes, is everything I do wrong? I was just trying to defend my aunts dignity! I wanted Keira to realize her mistake!
Isla fixed a sharp gaze on Mrs. Olsen, Youre going to stop me? Is Keira so perfect in your eyes? Even if she becomes someones mistress, a homewrecker, youll still favor her?! Have you ever considered my feelings? With her doing such things in the Horton family, how can I stand my ground in the Horton household?!
With righteous indignation, Islas questioning shook Mrs. Olsen to her core, You dont pretend your motives are so noble youre just targeting Keira!
Yes, I am targeting her, so what? If she hadnt done anything wrong, would I be able to target her? This time I completely occupy the moral high ground. What have I done wrong?!
149 Shes Mrs. Horton!
Isla pressed aggressively. Should we call everyone else
to have a look?
Mrs. Olsen clutched her chest and stepped back.
Maam!
Keira took a step forward, reaching out to support her.
But unexpectedly, Mrs. Olsen pushed her away in the
next moment.
Keira looked at Mrs. Olsen in astonishment, only to see her eyes red, her whole demeanor seeming on the verge of collapse. Its my fault. My neglect has made the two of you turn out this way!
She looked at Keira with disappointment. I always thought you were a good child, but today, Keira, you really let me down!
Mrs. Olsens voice was choked with sobs, mixed with
the disappointment in her eyes
All of this pained Keira, and she felt as if her heart was being viciously gripped by an invisible hand.
She clenched her fists tightly, turned around sharply into the resting room, picked up her bag and strode
out. Then feeling wronged she took out her marriage
