17 Humiliate Isla
The little old lady was now adorned in luxurious clothing, though she still looked a little pale.
Lewis was sitting frostily to her left.
To her right was a man over sixty. It was Lewiss father.
A middle-aged couple in their forties sat on the nearby sofa, they were Lewis elder brother and sister-in-law, and also the parents of Jake.
Although no one had introduced the identity of the petite old lady, anyone able to sit in a prominent position in the Horton family was definitely old Mrs.
Horton.
Poppy stood where she was, dumbfounded. You,
you
She stuttered for a while but couldnt complete a
sentence.
Isla was about to collapse but was fortunately caught

by Jake.
Jake was puzzled. Whats wrong with you?
Islas hands were trembling.
Shed been striving for a connection with the Horton family all along and was painstakingly trying to please every elder here, but before she even entered the door, she had already offended old Mrs. Horton!
She suddenly chuckled bitterly. Keira, why did you trick us, saying old Mrs. Horton is your husbands grandmother? Due to that, we were disrespectful to the old lady
Keira instantly felt several suspicious glances directed
at her in the room.
Poppy, having recovered, scolded her. Youre such a liar! You know that Mrs. Horton is old, so you dare to deceive her! What do you take the Horton family for? Kneel and apologize immediately!
Keiras eyes darkened.
They were trying to shift the blame, throwing all the fault onto her, and absolving Isla in the process.

What a good tactic.
Smash!
A teacup was thrown over by old Mrs. Horton, hitting
Poppy.
The boiling tea inside splashed onto her, but Poppy
didnt dare to scream.
Shut up! Mrs. Horton screamed in anger. Shes my granddaughter-in-law!
Despite enduring the pain of a burn, Poppy yelled, Mrs. Horton, youve been deceived by her! Im completely sure that her husband is just a little punk!
No need to argue. Why not just ask the parties. involved?
Jakes mother chimed in, Lewis, is she really the wife youre hiding and not bringing home?
Keira glanced swiftly towards Lewis, and then she heard that expected response. No.
The man, as always, was icy and emotionless.
What an ungrateful, vindictive, mean person!.

A flash of resentment shot through Keiras eyes.
Relief washed over Islas face, and she sighed.
Poppy sneered. I knew all along that this was all Keiras doing!
Keira gave a cold snort, and was about to retort, but instead heard the mans deep voice again.
Its my grandmother who mistook her, so I asked Miss Olsen to help take care of my grandmother for a
while.
Keira didnt know what to say
Alright, she admitted she was shouting a little too loud in her head when she cursed him just now.
Everyone was quiet for a moment, no one expected
this turn of events.
After a while, Isla lowered her head. So thats how it

Lewis relaxed on the couch, his posture casual but his

words struck with force. Facing troubles by hiding behind others and shirking your responsibilities, is this how the Olsen family raises its daughters?
Old Mrs. Horton, enlightened by his words, thundered.
You think Im stupid since I have dementia. Do you think I cant see through these little tricks?
Youve made a mistake, but youre not repentant. Not only that but youre trying to shift the blame onto others. You two truly are shameless!
Old Mrs. Horton turned to Jake. Call off the wedding. I dont want her as my granddaughter-in-law!
Isla was stunned!
The marriage shed worked so hard to secure couldnt just be gone like that!
She looked toward Jake, but the man looked
astonished, his gaze fixed on Keira, evidently still
shocked by the news of her marriage.
Isla clenched her fingers tight.
Lowering her head, she walked to Jake, tears rolling

down her face. Jake, I was wrong Rest assured, even if the marriage is canceled, Ill still take you to the person I promised to introduce to you.
Jake came to his senses.
Isla still wanted to introduce Dr. South to him
Currently in Creras new energy projects, Dr. South was the top expert!
He quickly spoke to old Mrs. Horton,
Great-grandmother, Isla really didnt know, so please forgive her. Besides, both families have already
exchanged betrothal gifts. Its really not appropriate to call off the marriage!
Old Mrs. Horton gave him a meaningful look. Youre grown up now. I cant control you. Do as you please.
Old Mrs. Horton understood a profound truth.
The older generation shouldnt act like an old meddler
The problems of the great-grandson should be solved by his parents, and she didnt want to interfere
anymore.

However
Jakes mother laughed. Grandma, have you forgotten about the welcome gift?
Old Mrs. Horton lowered her eyes. Ill have someone transfer 30,000 to Jake.
Jakes mother was stunned. But I remember you
saying youd give them 2 shares as a gift to ease their financial stress in their marriage
If you were to ask who was the wealthiest in the Horton family, it was definitely old Mrs. Horton!

She was from a wealthy family in Clance and received a generous dowry when she married. Moreover, she controlled 20 of the Horton familys shares
Jakes mother had been wanting to take a slice from her through this marriage!
Everything had been agreed upon, but old Mrs. Horton changed her mind at the last minute!
Old Mrs. Horton looked at her with a half-laughing, half-serious look and retorted. Im dissatisfied with this great granddaughter-in-law so I wont give them

any shares!
Islas face turned pale. She felt humiliated.
There were many servants in the Horton family, and these words would definitely spread. Soon, the whole Oceanion would know that shed been rejected by old
Mrs. Horton!
Nothing was more important to the daughter of a rich family than her reputation. Old Mrs. Horton might as well slap her in the face
Obviously, old Mrs. Horton didnt care about these things. Having made her statement, she immediately took Keira and Lewis back to her residence.
Old Mrs. Horton then excused herself saying she urgently needed to use the bathroom. She left Keira with Lewis alone themselves.
In an instant, there were only the two of them left in the yard.
The night was as dark as ink
Keira stood shoulder to shoulder with Lewis, only then realizing that the man was a head taller than her. He

must be about six feet tall.
Didnt the old lady say he was very thin and small when he was born?
While she was silently cursing him, Lewis suddenly
looked at her, his eyebrows furrowed in disgust. Need
Iron?
Keira wouldnt be outdone and also stared back at him. Puppy?
Lewiss face turned green.
She has coaxed Grandma into telling her even that!
She must have a hidden agenda!
Perhaps Grandmas attachment to her was an accident without any calculation involved, but this woman willingly took Grandma in. Maybe it was because Grandma accidentally revealed her identity.
After Keira snapped at him, she didnt forget the main point. I remember you said you would do me a favor. Could you go with me to the Civil Affairs Bureau to

Lewiss face grew dark, and he snapped impatiently.
Fine, then lets go! If its not true, I hope you stop using Grandma as an excuse to pester me!
