150 Disappointment
Keira knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldnt believe her.
Just like the class reunion a few days ago
She didnt plan to make empty claims. Instead, she took out evidence, hoping to convince Mrs. Olsen of her innocence.
She looked at Mrs. Olsen and slowly said, Maam, Mr. Horton and I truly are
Before she could finish, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched her marriage certificate from Mrs. Olsens hand.
Islas shrill voice interrupted her. Do you think that just by producing a marriage certificate, you can prove your claim? Keira, do you take everyone for blind fools?
Without even looking at the document, she attempted to tear it apart, but her manicured nails prevented her from exerting any strength. Frustrated, she threw it violently onto the floor and repeatedly ground it

under her high heels.
Keiras pupils contracted, and she immediately grabbed Islas arm, her other hand swinging down at her!
Smack!
The loud slap echoed in the hallway. Unlike the slap Mrs. Olsen had delivered before, this time a visible handprint welled up on Islas face.
With a fierce look in her eyes, Keira stared at her. Isla, I could call the police right now and accuse you of destroying national documents, and you would end up in jail.
At these words, Islas fingers tightened, but a glance at Mrs. Olsen bolstered her confidence. Go ahead, call
the police, and why not summon some reporters too? Let everyone see whether it is you, the adulteress and homewrecker who should be denounced and vilified,
or whether I, the defender of justice, should be
blamed!
Keira said forcefully, Ive said it before, I am not the
other woman, Lewis and I are
Smack.

Suddenly, something brushed across her face.
Keira was stopped mid-sentence, and she froze in place, and in disbelief. She slowly turned her head to
look at the one who had struck her-Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsens eyes were red, her body trembling slightly as she stared at Keira, Keira, if you still listen to me, leave this place with me now!
Keiras eyes widened in astonishment.
Actually, it didnt hurt at all
Mrs. Olsen hadnt had the heart to hit hard, and her cheek had only been grazed.
Having been beaten by Poppy from a young age, this slap was indeed the lightest she had ever received in
her life
Yet Keira had never felt as heartbroken as she did at
this moment, the pain so severe that for an instant she struggled to breathe.
Clenching her fists tightly, she stared in shock at Mrs. Olsen and after a long moment found her voice again, You dont believe me either?
Mrs. Olsen hadnt expected to strike her either. She

looked down at her trembling fingers and let out a bitter smile upon hearing Keiras words.
She had always believed in Keiras character. As a child, Keira would rather starve and rummage through garbage bins for food than casually take a cake left out on the table, even if she was nearly dying of hunger
Back then, Mrs. Olsen had admired Keira immensely.
And gradually, she took her to heart.
But she had never expected her to do something like
this
Mrs. Olsen had already made inquiries and learned that Lewis got married two years ago, but Keira had only registered her marriage this year. She simply couldnt imagine the two being husband and wife.
And the photographs that Isla showed her last time werent edited; they were real
In those photos, the intimacy and the looks in the eyes of Keira and Lewis clearly showed they had feelings for one another
So how could she possibly believe Keira?
Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes, feeling dizzy from anger.

Overcome with a sense of powerlessness, in the end,
all she could say to Keira was, Leave
Keira was stunned. Mrs. Olsen, its not what you think, Mr. Horton and I
Isla felt immense satisfaction upon witnessing this
scene.
Keira was too capable of fighting back, making Isla always feel powerless in front of her.
But there was one person whom Keira would never retaliate against, and that was Mrs. Olsen!
She said sarcastically, Didnt you hear what my mom said? She wants you to leave. She never wants to see someone as despicable as you ever again! You and your mother are both shameless homewreckers who
shouldnt be seen in daylight!
Keira continued to look at Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Olsen
Isla stepped forward, placing herself between her and Mrs. Olsen. Are you leaving or not? Are you staying here on purpose to upset my mom to death so your own mother can take her place? What exactly are you plotting?!

As soon as these words fell, Mrs. Olsen went limp, and she was about to collapse to the ground!
Shirley!
Taylor quickly approached and steadied Mrs. Olsens shaky body. He looked around in shock and asked, What happened?
Isla immediately said, My mom cant stand the shame of Keira being here as my uncles mistress and
homewrecker and told her to leave, but she refused,
and it upset my mom!
Upon hearing this, Taylor immediately glared at Keira. You ungrateful creature! How well has Shirley treated you since you were little? Have you no conscience?!
Keira looked at them, momentarily not knowing what
to say.

She suddenly let out a low laugh, finding it all rather meaningless.
Not a single person was patient enough to listen to her explanations
She cast down her eyes, her expression indifferent. Mrs. Olsen, take good care of yourself. Theres no

need to get angry because of me.
After these words, she turned and walked away.
Mrs. Olsen leaned on Taylor, watching Keira leave, wanting to reach out and call her back, but not knowing what to say
Isla pointed toward the lounge and said, Dad, Mom, why dont you go inside and rest for a bit
Taylor helped Mrs. Olsen into the room.
After a while, Mrs. Olsen finally regained her breath. Taylor scolded her angrily. Shirley, why are you getting angry over such an ungrateful daughter? Shes not worth your efforts! Her mother had no shame and schemed against me to have her. She has Poppy Hills blood flowing in her veins. Shes selfish and without a moral bottom line
Mrs. Olsens gaze was empty, her heart filled with disappointment.
Youre always strict with Isla, and you always tell me that Keira is better than her. Look at her now. Keiras moral bottom line is far behind Islas! No matter what, Isla has never reduced herself to being a mistress!

Taylor held Mrs. Olsens hand. Shirley, promise me, dont worry about Keira anymore. From now on, stay away from her, and dont upset yourself anymore, alright?
Mrs. Olsen painfully closed her eyes.
Had this child, Keira, truly gone astray?
She clenched her fists tightly, finding it hard to believe, yet the truth was before her eyes
Seeing she didnt respond, Taylor simply said, Are you feeling better now? If you are, then lets go. Weve made our presence known today, and that should be enough for the Horton family.
Mrs. Olsen, trembling and unsteady, stood up, and with the support of Taylor, stepped out of the lounge.
By then, the outside had quieted down. Everyone had gone to the front hall.
As the two of them stepped out, they saw a marriage certificate lying lonely on the ground; Mrs. Olsen paused, then took a step forward and picked it up
