16 She Got Married
The elderly woman in Keiras arms was looking pale, with her arms hanging limply
At the sight, Lewis wasted no time and strode toward
them!
Though he appeared calm, he was filled with anxiety!
The elderly woman was the one person he was closest
to in this world
Over the past few years, her health had been deteriorating. Their family doctor had even hinted to old Mrs. Horton that she might not make it through
the year
He couldnt lose her!
When Keira saw him approaching, she drew her own conclusions. However, it wasnt the right time to discuss it. She quickly blurted out, Granny just had a heart attack. She has used all her nitroglycerin pills and urgently needs medication.
binetly pon the hors AL NOW!

After a pause, she added, Shell be okay once she gets
the medicine.
Lewis nervously pressed his lips together.
He reached out to take the elderly woman from Keira and darted into the Horton family home without looking back.
Keira didnt follow inside; her leg was still being held by Poppy.
Isla watched Lewis from behind with uncertainty. A strong feeling of unease stirred her. Is that really old Mrs. Horton?
How could old Mrs. Horton be with Keira?! That woman is the grandmother of Keiras husband!
Poppy released Keira and stood up, dusting off her clothes as she said, Mr. Horton looks so worried. Hes probably afraid of causing a real disaster. If someone were to die here, the Horton family wont look good when word gets out
She shot Keira a spiteful glare, Shes banking on this to rush into the Horton house while carrying that

decrepit old woman, isnt she?
Isla frowned.
It could be.
Keiras punk husband couldnt possibly be Lewis, right?
She was probably overthinking
Just then, the front door of the Horton house opened, and Jake stepped out.
Islas eyes lit up as she said playfully, Jake, you could have just waited for me at the parking lot. Why did you come all the way to the front door?
Jake was clearly irritated.
Isla had texted him that she was almost there but carrying too many gifts and asked him to come pick her up. He waited in the parking lot for a long time, and when she didnt show up, he came out to check.
His eyes fell on Keira, and he paused mid-step.
But in the next moment, his previous impatience melted away, replaced by a softness. He said gently to

Isla, Well, its your first visit. I was afraid you might get
lost.
Isla ran to him excitedly and grabbed his arm as if staking her claim. She cooed to him, Jake, youre so
nice.
Testing the waters, she asked, Is old Mrs. Horton at home?
Yes.
Has she been home all day? Did she go out at all?
Well, she has not been well for a while and has mostly been resting at home.
Old Mrs. Horton lived on her own in a separate
courtyard and didnt like being disturbed.
Jakes words sounded casual, but Isla mistook them for
truth and was instantly relieved.
Jake unabashedly eyed Keira
He didnt miss a single change in her expression, trying to find some hint of jealousy, envy, or resentment.

But there was none. Not a trace.
A sullen look gradually cast over his face.
Keira was more worried about the old ladys health and paid no attention to the couples display of affection.
At this point, she was reasonably sure that the Grandson she chatted with was Lewis.
She looked at the imposing gate, wondering if she would be stopped if she tried to enter now.
Suddenly, her view was obscured.
Jake stood in front of her, bluntly asking, Keira, are you here to see me because youve had a change of
heart?
Keira was dumbfounded.
With a cold laugh, Jake spat out words filled with venom. If you had given in, a phone call would have been enough. Who allowed you to come to the Horton house? Do you think you, an illegitimate daughter, even deserve to set foot here?

Keira pressed her lips together.
Jake softened at her stubbornness. If you want to
have a look inside, I can
Before he could finish his sentence, Isla cut him off.
Jake, youve misunderstood. Keira is waiting for her husbands grandmother. The old lady just had a sudden
heart attack, and Mr. Horton rushed her inside for
emergency treatment
Jake was taken aback, Husband?
Isla chuckled. Indeed, I didnt get a chance to tell you.
Keira is married
Jakes eyes suddenly reddened as he gnashed his teeth. Keira, who is he?!
His response gave the impression of a man catching his partner cheating in the act.
Keira gave him a mocking look and said, Jake, who my husband is has nothing to do with you.
His voice spiked as he shouted back, What do you

mean its none of my business? I want to see who dares to marry you without my consent!
Isla hastily replied, From what Ive heard from Keiras mother, hes just a street punk.
Jake clenched his fists, not choosing his words as he spat out, So, you decide to disgrace yourself? Fine! A bastard girl and a punk, you truly make a perfect match!
Isla continued to fan the flames. Keira must be pretty
resentful. Thats why she keeps pestering Mr. Horton
Keira shot back in a cold, mocking laugh. Isla, for someone who considers herself a lady, its surprising that your mind is filled with such filthy thoughts. Cant you think of anything else?
A chill ran down Islas spine, and she clenched her fingers.
With a sigh, she said, Keira, I understand that you are seeking revenge on me and Jake, but Mr. Horton is already married. You shouldnt meddle in someone

elses marriage
Jake exploded when he heard this.
He had been waiting for Keira to call him these past few days and beg for his forgiveness. He was even willing to give her a second chance if she did so.
Turns out she has already moved on?!
He flew into a rage. Now I understand why your husbands grandmother had a heart attack at my doorstep. You were here to visit my uncle, werent you, Keira? How could you be so shameless?!
He was steaming, seething with rage.
He pointed at Keira and told the door guard, See that? Remember this face. Dont let her step foot inside the Horton house!
Isla lowered her gaze to hide the smirk playing at the corners of her lips.
After all, she still had some say in the entrance to the
Horton House
Meanwhile, a butler from the Horton family emerged

from the house.
His gaze swept over the crowd, finally landing on Keira, Miss Keira, the master invites you in.
Isla froze.
Jake looked up, dumbstruck.
On the other hand, Keira glanced at the door guard, a teasing smile playing on her lips. So, can I go in now?
The door guard glanced anxiously at Jake, then without hesitation, opened the door for Keira.
He did know who had the final say in the Horton
family
The Hortons house was huge.
Inside the gate, a buggy was available to shuttle Keira directly to the main buildings entrance.
The butler said respectfully, Madam is fine now. She and the master are waiting for you in the drawing
room.

Relieved, Keira got out of the buggy. She noticed the Olsen familys BMW X7 parked not far away in the parking lot.
With Jake leading the way, Isla and Poppy strode menacingly toward Keira, meeting her just outside.
Poppy glared venomously at her. Mr. Horton probably asked you to come pick up your grandmother here. After you do that, make sure you leave promptly. Dont let a nasty creature like you smear the Horton houses carpets!
As they entered the drawing-room together, they saw old Mrs. Horton sitting upright on the head sofa.
The elderly lady glared at them, fuming. Who are you calling a nasty creature?
