78 Slap in the Face
Isla was completely dumbfounded and stood there in
shock.
Miss Allen Why was she here?!
She clenched her fingers in panic, wanting to escape this very moment!
Rebecca seemed a bit afraid. The betrayal from her husband and mother-in-law had shattered her
confidence.
Yet under the gentle guidance of her brothers voice, she looked up and followed Frankies pointing finger. She thought she would see that detestable woman, bu she saw the cold face of her life-saver instead!!
For a moment, she was dumbfounded.
Keira looked at her. Rebecca, I must have offended
you somehow, or perhaps, said something wrong, which made you hate me so much.
Rebecca was dumbfounded.
She waved her hands in confusion. No, I, I

Frankie comforted her. Rebecca, dont be afraid. You can speak up if you have anything to say.
As soon as he finished speaking, his father smacked him on his head. Frankie, have you pointed out the wrong person? Shes Miss Olsen, the young lady who
has saved Rebecca!
Rebecca nodded immediately.
What?
Frankie was slightly stunned. He looked at Keira to see her face full of anger. Her clear and cold eyes were watching them.
He then looked at Isla. Sure enough, her eyes were flickering, and her whole body was trembling
Frankie suddenly realized something.
He pointed to Isla, asking Rebecca, Rebecca, tell me,
who is she?
Rebecca looked at Isla and immediately withdrew her gaze. She waved her hand. Brother, please help me get rid of her. I dont want to see her!
Her attitude needed no more explanation.
Frankies face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, So, Keira is the person who saved you, and Isla is the evil woman who didnt help you and added insult to injury?!
Rebecca nodded immediately.
The conversation between the two clearly reached the
ears of all the onlookers.
Everyone understood what was going on and immediately looked at Isla and Jake in shock.
Jake widened his eyes and turned his head to Isla in disbelief, only to see her face turn pale, completely
colorless.
The whole scene fell silent for a while, and those
executives who had just accused Keira and Lewis we
now silent as scared chickens.
A cold and deep voice suddenly rang out. Mr. Allen, who exactly fails to see people for who they are?
Lewis was indifferent and sarcastic. You should go to the hospital to get your eyes checked.
Frankies mouth moved, and he dared not say anything.

Jalen also mocked him. In the future, we cant do kind things like helping people, lest someone gets fooled, and well be cut off from resources By the way, Mr. Allen, you just said that you would make sure Miss Olsen wouldnt get any supply in the country. Is this the Allen familys attitude toward their benefactors?
Frankie immediately looked at Keira with a sincere, apologetic look on his face.
He had been displeased with Isla because she had
made various demands on him, but the real Miss Olsen
had never asked for any reward for her help!
He said, Miss Olsen, I was blind. Ill make sure that
your raw materials are delivered as promised!
Right. Good.
The anger on Keiras face had disappeared. When s saw the truth, she even felt a bit dumbfounded.
She hadnt expected Isla to be shameless enough to steal credit!
She wasnt all that angry either. Frankie had just been fooled, but it showed that he wasnt all that clever or had good judgment. It would be better to work with
him long in the futura
After Frankie apologized, he remembered the culprit and immediately looked angrily in the direction where Isla was. He was about to settle accounts with her, but when he looked over, he found that Isla was gone.
He frowned and asked in a gloomy tone, Where is Isla
Olsen?
She ran away
Frankie could only glare at Jake. Young Mr. Horton, I need an explanation for this!
Jalen seized the opportunity and said, Young Mr. Horton, you are too impatient. You have just graduated, and youre eager to establish a foothold in the Horton Group. But we should rely on real skills, right? Why are you always using tactics that arent
aboveboard?
As soon as he said this, the crowd began to discuss.
The incident with Dr. South was the same, he was promoted to the position of deputy head of the research department by relying on Dr. South, but in
the end, Dr. South turned out to be Mr. Hortons
contact
Mour I 000 it. He won planning to gat promoted to
general manager by the excuse of saving someones life
this time!
Thats too shameless.
It turns out that Isla has always been stealing other peoples credit. However, Miss Keira Olsen, who is humble and unassuming, has really helped us so
much
Mr. Allen must be embarrassed in front of Mr. Horton. He didnt dare to refute when Mr. Horton just said he should go check his eyesight. Itll be easier for them to cooperate in the future!
The surrounding discussions and glances made Jake feel like pins and needles. He explained, I didnt kno what really happened until now. It was all Islas doing It has nothing to do with me. I was fooled by her too!!
Unfortunately, no one would believe him.
After all, husband and wife were one, and they had just announced their engagement so proudly!
Frankie took a deep breath and looked at Lewis. Mr. Horton, I withdraw the suggestion I gave you when

signing the contract and demand that the project cooperation between the Allen and Horton families exclude young Mr. Horton!
Lewis remained unperturbed. Okay.

He glanced at the people around him and said, The proposal to promote Jake to the director of the project department will be canceled, and his position as deputy general manager of the RD department will be revoked. Any objections?
The crowd shook their heads.
Jake felt as if he was slapped fiercely on his face!
He clenched his fist, wished to dig a hole and hide in and finally left in humiliation.
Miss Olsen!
Rebecca quietly called out and came to Keira. Tears were welling up in her eyes. My brother is so stupid He even mistook you for that woman. He also said tha he had avenged me. Did he do something bad to you?
Keira glanced at Frankie and saw that even though he was pretending to be calm, his restless hands didnt know where to place, revealing his nervousness.
She smiled faintly and said, No.
Rebecca immediately sighed with relief. Thats really great then.
Frankie was slightly stunned, and the look in his eyes toward Keira had some gratitude.
Immediately, his eyes flashed with a touch of grimness.
He looked toward Lewis. Mr. Horton, where is that Isla Olsen staying? She did something wrong, and she has to pay the price!
Lewis narrowed his eyes and nodded to Tom behind him. Help Mr. Allen out.
Sure.
On the other side, Keira lowered her head and was whispering with Rebecca.
Mr. Allen was staring at Keira without blinking.
Mrs. Allen nudged him. Hey, what are you doing?
Mr. Allens eyes lit up. I see! No wonder I always felt that Miss Olsen looked familiar! I know whose daughter she is!
With that, he walked straight toward Keira. Miss
Olsen, is your mothers surname South?
