159 Divorce? Mrs. Allen carefully watched Poppys expression.
Poppy quickly presented herself as a fierce figure. Who are you to spout such nonsense? Miss Isla is the daughter of the Olsen family. How could she possibly be my daughter?!
Yet, Mrs. Allen sensitively caught a flash of panic in her eyes.
She stepped forward and said, Youre so protective of Isla but so hateful toward Keira. What kind of mother would act like this toward her biological daughter?
A fierce look flashed through Poppys eyes, and then she lifted her head with a cold laugh. Whats wrong with hating her? It was so difficult to get pregnant, and when did, it turned out not to be a boy, which ruined my chance of gaining status through my child! A losing proposition, was generous not to drown her right then and there. was kind enough to raise her! As for Miss Isla, Taylor loves her so much, and only by currying favor with Miss Isla can have a good life in the Olsen family! What do you know, meddling in our

affairs!
That attitude was the epitome of a woman who favored sons over daughters and was selfish to the core.
Mrs. Allen narrowed her eyes. Is that so?
What else? Poppy sneered. If could have given birth to a child like Miss Isla, who Taylor fondly adores, what a blessing that would be!
After saying that, she disdainfully glanced at Mrs. Allen. Why am even telling you this? Keira Olsen, you catastrophe! Come out here! am your birth mother! She continued cursing toward the doorway.
Mrs. Allen turned around and walked toward the car with Mr. Allen.
Mr. Allen frowned. It sounds like what she said makes sense.
Indeed, it does.
Mr. Allen sighed. Am overthinking?
On the contrary, think your speculation is even 11:39

more accurate, said Mrs. Allen.
Mr. Allen was startled. Why?
Mrs. Allen looked at Poppy. She acts really convincingly, but have you ever seen a shrew speak so logically? And patiently explaining so much to us?
When a woman explains too much, theres only one thing it may indicate.
What is it?
Shes covering something up.

Mrs. Allen smiled. I used to think it was all your wild imagination, but now feel that your conjecture is mostly true!
When Keira returned to the living room after seeing off guests with Lewis at the door, she found the atmosphere inside the banquet hall a bit odd.
Old Mrs. Horton was currently in confrontation with
Nathan.
The old ladys eyes widened. I dont care, recognize only this granddaughter-in-law, no one else! 31.29

Upon seeing them walk over, she turned to Lewis. Brat, youve arrived just in time! Your dad is going to be the death of me!
Keira looked at Lewis and, as expected, saw his brow furrow as he gave Nathan a cold look.
Then, she noticed Nathans disdainful glance at her, followed by a command. Lewis, want you to divorce her immediately! Lewis frowned. Why?
Why? Nathan laughed coldly. Do you even know who this woman beside you is? Shes not even as good as Isla but just an illegitimate daughter of the Olsen family! How can someone like that become the hostess of the Horton family?!
Oliver also chimed in. Lewis, Dad isnt trying to make things difficult for you. Didnt you hear how everyone was discussing your wife just now?
Keira lowered her gaze and clenched her jaw.
But the man beside her took her hand and said in a deep voice, I didnt hear it.

Oliver choked for a moment, then spoke up, Thats because you have long been in a high position, and those people dont dare to be presumptuous in front of
you, but what they say behind your back is really nasty! Jake, come and repeat to your uncle what youve heard.
Jake immediately stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Keira as he relayed the unpleasant words
They say, The Olsen Familys illegitimate daughter is truly capable. Who knows by what means shes managed to marry into the Horton Family!
And that youve been so charmed by her, marrying her is even worse than marrying some commoner with a clean background. Its so embarrassing!
Furthermore, If the Horton familys future matriarch is an illegitimate daughter, how would they even host events in the future? Do they expect to elevate an illegitimate daughter above everyone else?
And there are even more disgusting things being said, things simply cant bring myself to repeat. In short, everyone is laughing at you, Uncle!
Jakes expression was icy as his gaze swept over Keira,

After finding out, immediately chose to let go, because Im well aware that families like ours cannot possibly take an illegitimate daughter as a wife! How embarrassing would that be if it got out? Its just like now, with you, Uncle, being pointed at and talked about
Before he could finish, Lewis suddenly interjected, When they were pointing and gossiping, what were you doing? Jake was dumbfounded. What?
Lewis, with a frosty gaze, stared at him. The Horton familys matriarch is insulted, and you have no reaction? Is this how you uphold the dignity of the Horton family?
Jake immediately swallowed.
Oliver took a step forward. Lewis, you cant say that.

Today is the Horton familys birthday feast, after all. Do you really want to cause trouble at old Mrs. Hortons party? Is discussing the Horton familys matriarch behind her
back their idea of manners?
Lewis looked straight at Jake. If youre too cowardly to defend the Horton familys honor, then give me a list of those whove been gossiping, and Ill go find them one by one.
Jake was stunned; how could he possibly produce such a list?! Doing so would offend the rich second-generation cliques of Oceanion!
Seeing him too frightened to speak, Keira glanced at

time! If it werent for the fact that shes an illegitimate daughter, would have almost ended up with her! Bang!
Lewis kicked him away without hesitation.
Jake went soaring through the air from the kick, then crashed heavily to the ground, in so much pain that he couldnt even pick himself up.
Olivers eyes darkened. Lewis, what are you doing? Were just talking. How can you get violent?!
