196 Confrontation
In the hospital.
Keira grabbed Islas hand.
Isla turned to look at her, Whats wrong?
Keira lowered her head, her expression obscured, but her helplessness and misery were palpable. It was as if her emotional defenses had crumbled.
Yet the words she uttered next stunned Isla. I wont
do as you say.
Isla frowned.
Poppy, consumed by anger, hit Keira hard on the back several times. You ungrateful creature, what are you saying? How dare you say no to Miss Isla?! Ill beat
to death! you After enduring a few blows, Keira suddenly pushed her away with force.
Poppy staggered several steps backward and fell to the ground, then immediately jumped up. Good heavens, you dare to lay a hand on me? Im your mother!

Her shrill voice finally got a reaction from Taylor.
He frowned and looked toward them, promptly stood up, then walked over to them. He glanced at Keira, then at Isla, and finally at Poppy. What are you arguing about?!
Just as Poppy was about to speak, Taylor suddenly
raised his arm!
Slap!
He didnt slap Poppy but instead struck Keiras face
hard!
Keira hadnt expected him to hit her, given how weak he appeared.
She held her cheek in shock, feeling the burning pain, and looked incredulously at Taylor.
Taylors gaze was grim as he glared at her. Its you again, its always because of you that our family is disrupted. Keira, why dont you just die? Why are you here bothering Shirley!
Keira let her hand covering her face slowly drop, and clenched her fist tightly. You heard everything just now, right? It was Isla who carried someone elses

child and framed me for causing her miscarriage. Im just trying to prove my innocence!
So what?! Taylor rebuked vehemently. Shes Shirleys daughter, my daughter, but youre not! Even if Isla did something wrong, you have to take the blame for her!
Taking the opportunity, Poppy shouted, Exactly, you owe that to the Olsens. If you want to sever ties with the Olsens and have nothing to do with us ever again, then strip off this flesh, remove your tendons and
bones, then return your flesh and blood to us!
After that, she sneered. Im sure you can resurrect, cant you? Keira, let me tell you, your life was given by me, so it can only be mine! Unless you die, you can never escape my curse for the rest of your life! Ill follow you like maggots on bones. When get old, youll have to provide for me, or else Ill make trouble. Ill sue you! In Crera, filial piety comes first. dont believe you can do anything to me!!
She placed her hands on her hips, her demeanor
arrogant.
But Keira wasnt having any of it. Well deal with the future later. Today, must restore my own innocence! 10:22

She looked directly at the three people in front of her.
Word by word, with resounding force, she said, I,
Keira, will not bear any debts that are not mine, nor will bear any blame that is not mine!!
She stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Poppy. At that moment, she felt a true strength rising within her. I couldnt choose my birthright. owe you a life, if you can, take this life!
Poppy was intimidated by her forcefulness and involuntarily took a step back.
Keira then looked at Taylor. Im not your daughter; the money that the Olsen family spent on me over the years has been repaid long ago. owe the Olsens nothing! All these lies were concocted by Poppy, and they have nothing to do with me!
After leaving those words, she turned and walked out.
Isla panicked and immediately shouted, Keira, you are not allowed to tell!
Taylor also frowned.
Isla knew she couldnt stop Keira and could only turn to Poppy with tears in her eyes. Keira, if you reveal 10:22

the truth, the Horton family will surely divorce me!
Then might as well be dead!
That sentence brought Poppy to her senses.
She suddenly screamed, Keira! Stop right there!
Keira didnt pause in her steps at all.
But as she reached for the doorknob, a cry from Isla came from behind her. Aunt Hill, what are you doing?!
Keira frowned and looked back, only to see a fruit knife grasped in Poppys hand. She pressed against her own neck, her eyes almost crazed as she looked at Keira. If you dare to go out and tell them the truth, die right here! Keira, do you really want to drive your own mother to death?!
Keiras steps faltered slightly. She looked at Poppy with only scorn in her eyes. Was this her mother?
As a child, she was completely controlled by her, but once she grew up and Poppy could no longer control her, she started to threaten her with her own life, seriously?

Keira let out a mocking laugh. She looked at Poppy and said softly, Then go ahead and die. Those few words made Poppys pupils contract.
Then, without any hesitation, Keira opened the door
and walked out.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw a group of people standing outside.
Jake, Melissa, as well as Oliver and Nathan, were all there.
In front of them stood several reporters.
Melissa was there, tearfully complaining, We asked you to come to show you just how heartless Lewis, the CEO of Horton Group, is! His wife killed my grandson, and now she doesnt even show a hint of guilt, but is instead very arrogant We of the first branch of the family cant go on like this!

Oliver looked at Jake with a warmer gaze.
He hadnt expected his sons wife to cause such a big problem for Lewis!
This time, Lewis was definitely caught in a bind!
The reporters, upon hearing this, picked up their microphones and were slightly taken aback when they saw Keira emerge.
