125 Daughter Upon Old Mrs. Hortons words, the crowd immediately quieted down. Everyones gaze uniformly shifted toward Lewis.
Keira saw his lips pursed slightly before she quickly changed the subject. Grandma, Im a bit cold. Lets go back to the room first.
Old Mrs. Horton immediately spoke nervously. My granddaughter-in-law is cold, so we must hurry back, or shell catch a chill, especially since were in the preconception period colds cant be allowed
Having said this, she grabbed Keiras hand and walk toward the courtyard. My granddaughter-in-law, is your home! You are not going anywhere else! Fro now on, youll stay right here!
Keira helplessly touched her forehead.
She stole a glance back at Lewis.
Both of them held special statuses, and their marriage was tied to too much. Moreover, the unspoken understanding between the

125 Daughter
two hadnt yet been agreed on, so it was best to be cautious about going public.
Melissa spoke up. Lewis, Grandma is senile and has been fooled by this girl. Shes not a good person, and she cant stay in our house! You must not be confused
either!
Lewis didnt bother to explain much, his voice somewhat grave. Sister-in-law, you dont have the say in Grandmas courtyard! Besides
His gaze swept around the surroundings, looking at the security guards. You dared to lay hands on my guest in Grandmas courtyard. None of you need to show up tomorrow!
Leaving behind those words, he went into old Mrs Hortons courtyard.
The security guards who were beaten immediately cried out, Mr. Horton, it was Ms. Knight who ordere us to act. We didnt want to doit
Just as Tom arrived and saw the scene unfold, he
stepped forward with a smile. You claim to be

wont find work elsewhere!
The group of people immediately felt silent and left, resigned.
Tom looked around with an implied warning, Get out of this place, okay? It should be very clear in your employment contracts what you can and cannot say about Hortons family matters.
The onlookers promptly bowed their heads and left respectfully. Before long, only Melissa, Isla, and Jake remained.
Melissa spat toward the doorway in anger, then turned to grumble at Isla. Without understanding the situation, why did you make senseless outcries here? It landed me in such a position that thought we drive this little slut out!
Isla lowered her head in distress. Melissa, its m fault. d
Melissa took several deep breaths and turned to lo at Jake who hadnt yet come to his senses, and she immediately felt an uncontrollable rage. She glared at Isla. I really dont know what kind of witchcraft this little slut has used to bewitch the old Mrs. Horton and
e
125 Daughter
these two men like this! Isla, dont care by what means you do it, but you must drive her out! Otherwise, forget about me handing over the houses authority to you!
With that, she stormed off.
Isla stood in place, thinking of how just moments ago Keira was so protected by old Mrs. Horton and Mr. Horton, then looking at Jake who was staring blankly at the entrance of old Mrs. Hortons courtyard, she felt something stuffy in her chest.
She lowered her head. Jake, didnt bring some of my personal clothing over. Im going home to get them. Okay. Jake seemed as if he hadnt really paid attention words.
Isla left for the Olsen residence, fuming.
She might not be able to drive Keira out, but there someone whose words Keira would definitely listen

She entered with a worried expression and saw Tayle and Mrs. Olsen sitting on the living room sofa
watching TV. When they saw her come home, Taylor

125 Daughter
was surprised. Didnt you move to the Horton residence? Why have you come back?
Mrs. Olsens attitude, however, was very lukewarm. She was still angry about Isla insisting on marrying into the Horton family.
Thats when Isla lowered her head and said to Taylor, Ive come back to get some clothes. also wanted to mention that Keira Shes not having a great time at the Hortons place.
Taylor didnt pay any attention to the topic at hand. But Mrs. Olsen gave her a look. Whats wrong with Keira? Isla sighed. Her attitude with Mr. Horton is ambiguous, and everyone is gossiping about

Mrs. Olsen immediately frowned. Keira is sta the Hortons place to take care of old Mrs. Ho Where did you hear all this nonsense? Keira isn type to fool around. believe in her character, an dont want to hear this sort of thing from you aga
Isla knew it would be like this.
She felt intense hatred inside. Mrs. Olsen had never e
125 Daughter
trusted her like that!
Fortunately, she had evidence
Lowering her head, Isla said, Thats what thought too, but today at the Hortons, a piece of evidence is being circulated. Its an intimate photo of Keira and
Mr. Horton Having said this, she took out her phone, opened up the photo, and handed it over to Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsen frowned as she looked at the photo. Her first reaction was that it was a setup, but as she looked closer, her pupils contracted slightly.
Taylor had already started cursing loudly. Shameless! How could have such a shameless daughter? Shes already married, and shes still messing around wi Mr. Horton?
With tears in her voice, Isla said, Because of her, m
mother-in-law now thinks Im the same sort of perso and shes asking me to find a way to get Keira out of the Hortons place But Keira wont listen to a word say, and today she even publicly defied Melissa at the Hortons, saying that even if Mrs. Horton herself tried to drive her away, she wouldnt leave She also

said, she also said
Taylor frowned. What else did she say? Out with it. Youre making me anxious!
She said that her mother has been living in our house since she was a child, and that in the future she wants Mrs. Horton to learn to be more magnanimous from her and accept that its normal for a man to have concubines Father, mother, with her causing such a scene, how can keep my head up at the Hortons place from now on!
Mrs. Olsen suddenly spoke up. Thats impossible! These words dont sound like something she would say! Isla bit her lip.
However, Taylor shouted angrily, Whats impossil about it? Shirley, youve been deceived by her! She really is living at the Hortons now, right? And her ambiguous attitude with Mr. Horton is also true! No wonder last time at the hospital, Mr. Horton helped with arranging a hospital bed, and hes always been nice to her since then. It seems she hooked up

kind-hearted, think she wont change!
Mrs. Olsen looked dumbfounded at him.
Every time Keira came up, Taylors attitude made her feel utterly bewildered.
Even though she was his daughter, why would he suspect her with the worst possible motives?
She suddenly recalled the day before, Keira said she wasnt Taylors daughter although she had fainted afterward, she still remembered those words.
Previously, she always thought it was said in a fit of
anger.
But considering Taylors attitude every time Keiras name came up
Mrs. Olsen suddenly asked, Taylor, is Keira reall daughter?
Taylor was taken aback, his expression changing slightly.
This slight change didnt escape Mrs. Olsens sharp gaze, and she frowned. Is Keira really not your daughter?!
