Mrs. Olsen was taken aback and looked at her.
Then she gave a bitter smile. Fine, know you have never acknowledged this father, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave.
Keira tightened her jaw, not offering further explanation, as now wasnt a good time. Mrs. Olsen, lets talk about my issue later. You should go back to
the car first
Melissa wasnt an easy mother-in-law to deal with. Isla had embarrassed the first branch of the family, and after her failed scheme against old Mrs. Horton, she had even been outmaneuvered and lost two percen the shares. How could she possibly agree to meet wi Mrs. Olsen?
However, Keiras position was awkward, and she couldnt really ask old Mrs. Horton for help
As she was pondering, footsteps came from the Horton residences large iron gate, followed by Fiona approaching with a smile. You must be Mrs. Olsen. When guests arrive, theres no reason for them to wait 149
outside. Please come in with me!
Mrs. Olsen was startled, And you are?
Fiona didnt say much. l am the Horton familys
butler.
Mrs. Olsen then looked toward Keira.
Keira pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said, Mrs. Olsen, please go in first. She knew that it was old Mrs. Horton who had sent
Fiona over.
She also understood that she couldnt use old Mrs. Hortons affection and trust to help Isla, but she really couldnt just stand by and watch Mrs. Olsen suffer.
Mrs. Olsen didnt know the reason behind it all a nodded. She coughed and entered the door.
Old Mrs. Horton had sent someone to greet the gue personally, so even if Melissa was reluctant, she had give old Mrs. Horton this courtesy.
The group soon arrived at the main houses living
room.
Melissa was sitting arrogantly on the sofa. Mrs. Olsen,

what are you doing? If dont want to see you, will you wait outside indefinitely, not embarrassed by the disgrace? She hadnt even offered a seat to the visitors.
Keira stepped forward, about to say something, when Isla grabbed her arm. You better keep quiet. Dont offend my future mother-in-law and ruin this marriage
for me!
Keira gave Isla a cold look.
Just because of this, was it alright to let Mrs. Olsen beg and lower herself here?
Mrs. Olsen didnt notice the disagreement between the two children and merely coughed before walkin over to a sofa and sitting down.
Melissa scoffed sarcastically. Mrs. Olsen, such manners, a product of fine upbringing. hear Kein the illegitimate daughter you raised. No wonder sh so well-mannered!
Mrs. Olsen looked up at this, smiled gently but spoke with strength, Indeed, have raised Keira, and thank you for your compliments.

Melissa choked, You!
Mrs. Olsen then interrupted her. Mrs. Horton, came here to discuss the matter of our children cough, cough, cough would like to speak with you privately if thats alright?
Melissa immediately wanted to retort, but upon looking up, she saw Mrs. Olsen sitting there with a confident smile as if she was sure of herself. Melissa
remembered Jake mentioning that Mrs. Olsen seemed
to be from Clance and had wide connections.
Melissa scoffed. Fine, lets see what you have to say!
She ordered the maids in the living room. You all may
leave.
Mrs. Olsen also looked at Keira and Isla. You two as
well.
Keira looked at her worriedly, but in the end, she stood up and left the room. Isla also left the room with a face full of joy.
The two halted their steps on the open space just outside the living room. Keira glanced at the room from time to time, but when

she turned her head, she saw Isla holding her phone, messaging Jake, her face seemingly adorned with a smile
Unable to restrain herself, Keira blurted out, Mrs. Olsen is hustling about inside for you, and who knows what lowly deals shes agreeing to with Mrs. Horton right now. Arent you worried at all? How can you so bold and confident?
be Upon hearing this, Isla gave her a glance. Thats my mother. Isnt it natural for a mother to bustle about for her own daughter?
After speaking, her expression suddenly turned cold. Right, forgot your own mother wasnt good to you, so youve never experienced this feeling, have yo
Keira clenched her fists tight. You!
Isla immediately gloated. Then let me tell you wha feels like to have a mother who cares for her own daughter. Today, when came home crying, my moth was really upset for me, so she took the initiative to come and plead my case.
Keira said angrily, The Horton family is the richest in Oceanion. What can Mrs. Olsen offer to help you?! 12:48

The look in Islas eyes suddenly became sinister. If she cant offer anything, then shell just have to kneel and bow her head until Mrs. Horton agrees!
You! Keira, let me repeat myself. Thats my mother! Whatever she does for me is only right and proper! Didnt you say you dont owe
me anything? Well, now Ill let you fully understand the reality!
Suddenly, Isla stepped in front of her and sneered. The person you owe is my mother, and as am her daughter, you inherently owe me too! If Im not doing well, neither is my mother If you really want my mothers negotiation to go smoothly this time, youd better seek out old Mrs. Horton to speak for me! At least if Mrs. Horton agrees, it will help loosen old Mrs Hortons stance! Otherwise, even if my mother
persuades Mrs. Horton, old Mrs. Horton might also suffer some indignities
Keiras fists were clenched so tightly that, upon seeing the triumph on the other womans face, she wished she could tear her to shreds!
She herself respected Mrs. Olsen as both a teacher

and a motherly figure, yet the woman in front of her didnt cherish her at all
Yet, ironically, Keira understood that Mrs. Olsen was
Islas mother
It seemed normal for a mother to make any sacrifice for her daughter, and Keira had no right to interfere. At that moment, Keira felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.
She had thought of many ways Isla might salvage the marriage, such as bringing up the baby or deceiving Jake, but she had never anticipated that Isla would go home and torment her frail mother.
Keira took a step back, distancing herself from Isla, and looked worriedly toward the living room again. Half an hour later, Mrs. Olsen walked out of the room The moment she stepped out, Keira hurriedly came forward to support her.
Just as she was about to ask a couple of questions, Isla rushed over, pushing Keira aside to take hold of Mrs. Olsens arm. Mom, how did it go? Did Mrs. Horton agree?

Mrs. Olsen seemed exhausted, and she managed a rueful smile. Yes, she agreed. Mom, knew you could do it! love you, Mommy!
Isla acted coyly.
However, Mrs. Olsen didnt caress her hair as she usually would but coldly pushed her away and turned to Keira. Keira, see me out, will you?
Keira immediately took her arm. Mrs. Olsen, please take your time.
Mrs. Olsen patted her hand and then spoke, Dont ever say that Taylor isnt your father again After all, she had personally witnessed Poppys amniocentesis and the paternity test with Taylor, an there could be no mistake.
Keira was momentarily stunned, I really am not
