Isla also received a call from the police station.
As a witness who saw the whole incident, when she discovered that Rebeccas brother was no ordinary person, she cooperated with the police to provide her statement and didnt dare to lie.
She was more than happy to oblige, so she happily agreed.
By testifying for Rebecca, she could make Frankie indebted to her again
Just as she was feeling triumphant, her phone suddenly rang again. She glanced at the caller ID. Her face darkened. It was Finley Hill!
While she wanted to hang up, she didnt dare to. Finally, she reluctantly picked up, What?
Dear niece, you have to help me! If I cant pay back the money this time, Ill be beaten to death! Finley
Hills voice made Isla frown and irritated.
She clenched her fist. How much?
Five million.

How much?! Islas voice suddenly rose, feeling like
she must have heard him wrong.
Although the Olsen family was wealthy and gave her an allowance of 150,000 every month since middle school, Olsens current cash deposit was only a few million. Along with the companys working capital, it didnt even reach twenty million.
She thought that the two million from last time would keep Finley Hill occupied for a while, but it had only been a few days, and Finley Hill needed five million
more!
However, Finley Hill wasnt at all intimidated. Can you afford it or not? If you cant, theyll kill me, then Ill
have to talk to Keira.
Islas pupils contracted.
You have two days. If the money isnt in my account by then, dont blame me for revealing your and Keiras origins. After all, ones life is the most important, right?
After leaving these words, Finley Hill hung up. The infuriated Isla threw her cell phone to the ground.

To come up with such a large sum of five million, she could only ask her family for help.
Thinking of this, Isla began to hesitate and falter.
Although Keira didnt expose her for stealing Dr. Souths emails, Mrs. Olsen seemed to have guessed something. Starting from yesterday, she wasnt in a good mood toward Isla.
Isla frowned and went to Mrs. Olsens room.
As she got close, she heard Mrs. Olsen asking, Where is Poppy Hill? She seemed to have disappeared for a few days.
Taylor answered, Who cares what shes doing? Maybe she went back to her brothers place. Shed better not come back at all. I get annoyed every time I see her.
Outside, Islas eyes flickered
She collected her emotions, walked in with red eyes,
and choked out, Mom, Dad.
Mrs. Olsen got up to comfort her but hesitated and sat
back down on the sofa.
Taylor frowned and asked, Isla, did you upset your
mother?

Isla began to cry. Mom, I was wrong. I shouldnt have framed Keira. I was just jealous of the attention you gave her.
Her tears seemed genuine. Mom, Keira is so capable now. Shes Dr. South and can arrange hospital rooms for you, but I am not as good as her. I am a bit scared that your love for her will surpass your love for me When I was studying with her, classmates teased me, saying that my parents were getting a divorce and you were buying clothes and food for her. They also said that you didnt want me anymore and wanted her as a daughter Thats why I was always more concerned
about her
Mrs. Olsens expression softened visibly. She stepped toward Isla and sighed. How can you be so
narrow-minded? Moreover, Keira kept her distance
because she was aware of this. She hasnt come home
in years. Shes not trying to take me away from you, and I wont love her more than you either! Stop thinking too much from now on!
Isla sobbed. Really?
Mrs. Olsen chuckled. Youre all grown up. How can I lie to you?

Isla chuckled through her tears. Then tell me you love
me the most.
Mrs. Olsen said in resignation. Okay, I love you the
most.
Islas smile grew more genuine, but then she heard Mrs. Olsen mention something else. You should stop seeing Keira as your imagined enemy!
Her smile faltered, and a shadow crossed her eyes.
Isla lowered her head. I wont anymore. Im sorry for
what I did.
After placating Mrs. Olsen, Isla finally spoke up. Mom, Im going to buy a wedding ring with Jake today. I thought I should buy a gift for him as well.
Mrs. Olsen nodded in approval. Good. We shouldnt take advantage of him.
Isla, who had a job now, had a monthly living expense of 300,000.
She lived at home and didnt usually spend too much
money.
Mrs. Olsen assumed that Isla would have accumulated
millions in her private coffers and hence didnt

perceive any subtext in Islas words.
Islas expression froze momentarily. She gritted her teeth and decided to be candid. After I got together with Jake, my expenses have increased somewhat Im a bit short of cash now

Only then did Mrs. Olsen understand. I still have over three hundred thousand here. Ill transfer it to you
later.
Isla choked on her words. Only over three hundred thousand?
Mrs. Olsen sighed, Yes, I lent my money to Keira. She wanted to buy some stocks
Before Isla could express her dissatisfaction, Taylor got in first. Buying stocks? The stock market is doing so badly now. Who would join at this time? Its utter nonsense! What if we lose that money?
But Mrs. Olsen waved him off. She said a friend gave her a tip, so we wont lose money. Besides, even if we lose money, just consider it as a gift for her. Over the years, she has brought billions of profits to the company. Giving her over ten million isnt enough to
thank her.

Taylor frowned, clearly not satisfied.
But Isla felt a surge of anxiety, realizing that she couldnt get her hands on five million in a short time
She walked downstairs in a daze and got in Jake
Hortons car.
Jake seemed rather lively. Isla, my father was very happy to hear that you saved Mr. Allens sister. He transferred some money this morning and asked me to buy some nice jewelry for you as a gift from him!
Islas eyes flickered with guilt. Lets go to the police station first. They need me to make a record for Mr.
Allens sisters case.
Jake smiled. Sure, Ill drop you off.
When they arrived, they ran into Frankie Allen in the parking lot.
Seeing Isla, Frankie understood why she was there. Thinking of her coming here to testify, his resentmen toward her lessened. Miss Olsen, thank you for
making this trip.
Isla smiled, No problem.
The three of them exchanged greetings and were

about to enter the police station when they ran into Keira, who was coming out.
Keira was the first to arrive at the police station.
She recounted again the events of that day from start to end, confirmed that the statement was accurate, and signed and sealed the statement. She then headed
out.
The police officer who saw her out was still speaking to her. Miss Olsen, you decided on the spot to save someone. Weve decided to commend you orally. We are preparing to issue a public announcement.
