No.
Lewis abruptly grabbed her hand. You dont know Uncle Olsen. Hes domineering in his actions and wont give you a chance to explain. If Im not mistaken, as soon as you and Ellis go downstairs, hell cripple one of your legs!
Keiras pupils constricted.
She looked at Ellis, only to see the man digging in his ear. My third uncle said an arm and a leg would suffice as an apology, he said.
Keira remained silent.
Was it really like that?
She frowned, about to say something more, when Lewis stepped forward. Lets each take a step back. Ill go down with you, and we can talk to Uncle Olsen.
Ellis pulled the finger he had been using to clean his ear, blew on it as though to remove something nonexistent, and chuckled. I dont mind you going down to chat with my third uncle, but how is this each

taking a step back?
He looked at Lewis. Ill have the bodyguards guard all the exits here, to avoid you pulling a fast one and having her escape while were distracted.
After the two sides reached an agreement, Lewis looked at Keira. Just stay on this floor, and dont go anywhere else.
Okay.
Only then did Lewis go downstairs with Ellis.
Their respective bodyguards remained upstairs, one group guarding Keira while the Olsen family guards watched them, to prevent Keira from escaping.
Keira didnt want to stay in Islas room, so she walked out, intending to return to Mrs. Olsens room.
But before she could leave the room, she heard Isla say, Keira, you used to do whatever you wanted because of Uncle Lewis, but this time, Ive got the Clance Olsen family backing me up! Dont think Im afraid of you! As long as you apologize and admit your mistake, I might consider letting you off.
Keira laughed at the remark. Really? The Horton

family and the Olsen family are equals; do you think even with the support of the Olsen family, the Horton family would want a woman whos pregnant with another mans child? Here, have a saying for you. One who has brought it upon themselves cannot live.
Isla was speechless!
Jake then barked angrily. Keira, even at a time like this, youre still attacking Isla! Shes the Olsens daughter, do you think shell be treated the same as you, an illegitimate daughter? You married Uncle Lewis, yet youre still pestering me!
Keira couldnt be bothered to explain the matter, simply lowering her gaze and saying, Theres no point in these senseless words now; everything will be clear
in three hours.
Leaving behind these words, she turned and left the room, going back to Mrs. Olsens.
The Olsen familys guards were on high alert as soon as they saw her leave the room. Once they saw her enter Mrs. Olsens room, they relaxed.
In the room, several members of the Horton family looked at Isla.

Melissa narrowed her eyes and immediately asked, Isla, tell me, is this child really Jakes?
Islas eyes flickered, and she blurted out, Mom, how can you say that? Of course, its Jakes baby! The family head of the Olsen family is sitting downstairs right now. You dont have to be afraid. He will stand up for
me.
Melissa scoffed. Are you threatening me?
Immediately, Isla waved her hands. Not at all, how could I! Mom, I only mean to say we dont have to be afraid of Uncle Lewis
Youd better be right! Melissa glared at her fiercely. Just let me tell you. Theres one thing Keira was absolutely right about: even if the Clance Olsen family is backing you up, if this child isnt Jakes, the Horton family wont be able to shelter you!
Isla immediately clenched her fists. I understand,
Mom.
Jake couldnt help but interject, Mom, why are you bringing this up at all? Surely youre not swayed by Uncle Lewis and Keiras words? How could the child in
Islas belly not be mine?

Melissa said, She did, after all, get pregnant before marriage.
Thats not a problem! What era are we living in now Besides, the DNA test results will be out in three hours, then well know, wont we?
Jake said casually.
He didnt realize that this comment made Isla immediately clench the sheets tight.
She had thought that after the miscarriage, there would be no chance for amniotic fluid testing, but to her surprise, Keira and Lewis had managed to have the doctors collect the embryo from the miscarriage, effectively cutting off her way out!
Isla was infuriated to death.
Unable to sit still and wait for doom, she took out her
phone.
Downstairs.
After Uncle Olsens car door opened, Lewis got in.
Uncle Olsen opened his eyes and glanced at him, then

coldly said, What? Are you here to plead for that
illegitimate
teru
Lewis responded indifferently, She hasnt done anything wrong. The child isnt Jakes. Isla had an intentional miscarriage and framed her.
Uncle Olsen raised an eyebrow, his body still radiating an icy chill, Then why would Isla have a miscarriage and frame her? Even if she did nothing, her very birth is her fault.
Lewis frowned. Ive told you before, Mrs. Olsen has never minded her existence.
Jodies health has been deteriorating year by year. She must have a burden, and if not Keira, who else could it be? Lewis, were not fools. Do you think that any married woman would truly not mind an illegitimate daughter?
Lewis clenched his jaw.
No.
Even though Mrs. Olsen treasured Keira so much, she must have minded at some point.
Otherwise, Keira wouldnt have left the Olsen family so

early, and her attitude towards Mrs. Olsen would not be a mix of love, fear, and avoidance
As for the Horton family, Oliyer had a mistress and an illegitimate daughter outside, and Melissa had made countless scenes at home because of this.
The reason Jake hated the illegitimate daughter was also because of this.
Uncle Olsens statement left no room for rebuttal.
Lewis slowly said, The overseas project weve been working on recently, I can let you have it.
Theres no need,
Uncle Olsen coldly refused. Neither you nor I can be bought with money, so why say such things?
Lewis was just testing.
But this test made Lewis feel even more troubled.
Uncle Olsen had coveted that overseas project for a long time, proposing many deals to exchange for it, but now for the sake of the Olsen family, even that
wasnt viable.
He tensed his jaw. No matter what, I wont let you

bully Keira. Birth is not a choice, and shes never done anything wrong
Ive said, her birth means she owes the Olsen family.
Uncle Olsen looked at Lewis. But Im not opposed to letting her go, provided you agree to one condition.
What is it?
Divorce her, and marry my niece.

After Uncle Olsen finished speaking, he stared coldly at Lewis. Ive always been interested in you as a son-in-law; its a pity I dont have a daughter, otherwise, I would have forced a marriage upon you even if it meant tying you up. Lewis, this is my compromise. If you dont agree, then we can only break one of her arms or legs.
Lewis immediately became furious. You wouldnt
dare!
We could always try,
Uncle Olsen said lightly.
Lewis quickly clenched his fists.
He and Uncle Olsen were evenly matched, neither

superior nor inferior.
If the two forces really clashed, the outcome would be nothing more than a pyrrhic victory.
But he couldnt back down.
As the two became locked in a standoff, Ellis,
chuckling, interrupted, Uncle, dont be so serious! Oh right, Lewis, didnt you have a photo you wanted to ask Uncle about? Lets take it out and have a look.
Ellis wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He knew that both men werent afraid of making a scene, but this was a hospital; if a fight truly broke out, wouldnt they level the place?
So, he had to interrupt with a lighthearted interjection.
