157 Isla Is Arrested
Isla looked at him in disbelief.
But then she realized something.
The marriage certificate was displayed on the screen, which meant Lewis had known about their misdeeds all along!
Just as this thought crossed her mind, Tom suddenly took out a remote control and pressed a button, and immediately, a video appeared on the screen.
The crowd could see it clearly. It was footage from two surveillance cameras. The first showed Isla sneaking into the video room and copying photos from a USB drive onto the computer.
The second was of two maids at home, one projecting the photos in the background and the other secretly pressing the remote control
The evidence was irrefutable!
Isla became flustered as she turned to look at Jake. He was aware of the whole affair, even having taken part in it with her, but now Jake stepped back, avoiding eye

contact with her.
In a panic, Isla cried out subconsciously, Jake Jake instinctively glanced at Oliver.
His father was frowning and staring fiercely at him with disappointment in his eyes as if to say, You cant even handle this trivial matter. Youre useless!
Jake clenched his fists tightly and suddenly rushed in front of Isla.
Isla thought he was going to protect her, her face lighting up with hope, but the next moment Slap!
yo
Jake slapped her hard across the face. Isla, never thought you would be this kind of person! know and Keira dont get along. Shes your illegitimate sis and youve hated her since childhood, but how coul you do such a thing at Great-grandmas birthday banquet?!
Isla was dumbfounded.
She held her cheek, looking incredulously at Jake at
this moment.

Poppy, who had been restrained, had calmed down after realizing she couldnt free herself. Her hands were tied behind her, and a cloth was stuffed in her
mouth.
When she saw what happened, she immediately stood up. She let out an angry cry and started thrashing around, knocking aside the bodyguards and then slamming head-first into Jakes stomach.
Jake was knocked back several steps with a dull pain in his abdomen.
Poppy, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, stared angrily at Jake. Although she didnt speak, everyone could see that she was furious!
It seemed if Jake dared to lay another hand on Isla, she was ready to fight him to the death! The sight left the other guests stunned.
They whispered among themselves.
Whats going on here?
Isnt she Keiras mom? Why is she protecting Isla like this?
Right youd think she was Islas own mother!

The whispers from the crowd brought Poppy back to her senses. She then looked at Isla, realizing shed overreacted, and turned her gaze to Keira.
Isla lowered the hand holding her cheek, but she understood that Jake was now unreliable. She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Poppy, who stood protectively in front of her, with a flash of disdain in her eyes.
This foolish woman always caused unnecessary trouble at times like this. She had knocked Jake aside. Was he really the root of the issue?
She composed herself, and immediately, her face took on a tearful expression. She lowered her head. It
wasnt on purpose. Keira told me she just got her marriage certificate this year, so had no idea her husband was my uncle! just thought their relations wasnt right
She covered her cheek. I didnt mean anything by it, just felt it was unfair to my aunt My mom is soft and kind, and it was because of this that she was replaced by a mistress who brought an illegitimate daughter

into our home just wanted one less person in this world like my mom, so used the power of the public to restrain them Her sobbing made the audience frown.
One by one, they turned to look at Keira.
Indeed, Keira was the illegitimate daughter and the
child of the mistress Poppy.
Wasnt it natural for Isla to resent her?
But this was the Horton family party, and even if everyone sympathized with Isla, they didnt dare to say anything
After all, the recent example of Mr. Horton chasing Erin out and making her unable to live in Oceanion anymore was still fresh in everyones mind.

As everyone was in a daze, Lewis had already turned to the police, completely ignoring what Isla said. He said, She has infringed upon the image rights of my wife and me. Please handle it according to the law.
The two police officers immediately approached Isla. Miss, please come with us to the police station for investigation!

Poppy, anxious, wanted to rush over, but was grabbed by a bodyguard.
Isla hadnt expected that her weeping plea would be ineffective and immediately looked toward her only savior-Mrs. Olsen.
Suddenly, she rushed to Mrs. Olsen, grabbed her arm, and cried out, Mom, help me! only did it because felt you were being treated too unfairly. really didnt know she was married and also, also yes, Im pregnant! cant go to the police station! cant be taken away!
Mrs. Olsen looked at her daughter.
She wanted to say something, but with the marriage certificate still in hand, and remembering that she had mistakenly slapped Keira earlier that day, she found herself unable to ask Isla to let go.
Keira saw the dilemma she was in and felt a sharp twinge in her heart.
Mrs. Olsen was always known for her fairness and impartiality, but Isla was after all her biological daughter Cha tangad har inur and after a long nauna aha

Before she could finish, Lewis beat her to it. Keira, even if you dont pursue the matter, will! The Horton Group needs an explanation!
This didnt give Mrs. Olsen or Keira a chance to speak. After he said this, Lewis nodded to the police. The two police officers immediately grabbed Islas arms. Miss, please cooperate with our investigation!
Infringing upon image rights, particularly of this nature which hadnt caused any notable reputation or financial damage, wouldnt result in a severe
punishment after trial. At most, it would involve an apology and several days of detention.
But as Jakes wife and a young lady from a prestigious family in Oceanion, being taken away in such a public venue with photographers nearby
Isla would be humiliated! This was a severe blow to the first branch of the family!
Mrs. Olsen understood this too and, knowing that the punishment wouldnt be too harsh considering Isla

not to say anything.
Isla had made too many mistakes. It was time for her
to face some consequences.
After Isla was taken away, only the first branch was left disheveled and disgraced. Yet the banquet hall gradually returned to normal.
Mrs. Olsen looked at Keira, hesitated, and then finally managed to say, I, Keira, Im sorry She had finally spoken those words.
Just as Keira was about to offer her some words of comfort, Taylor burst out in anger. Shirl yor dent need t apolegize to Gel think shes doing this on purpose, trying to make you feel guilty!
