The nearly ninety-year-old woman’s skin was loose and saggy. Her once youthful features were no longer distinguishable. She lay with her wizened hand on her chest as though she could drop dead at any moment.
Taylor thought he was overthinking things.
A person of Old Mrs. Horton’s status would surely never step into a shop like this…
Worried that Isla might cause trouble with the old woman, he said to Keira sternly, “Enough! Your sister only wants what’s best for you. Isn’t making such a fuss and causing a scene here embarrassing for you?”
The old lady immediately turned to Keira. “Dear, is this your father?”
Keira averted her eyes.
The term “father” was foreign to her, and her feelings toward him were complicated.
As a child in the Olsen family, Poppy Hill wouldn’t let her get near Taylor.
The tiny child she once was used to hide in corners, stealing glances at him from afar. She watched him beam at Isla, swinging her around in his arms. His towering figure seemed godlike to her.
So, during those countless days and nights when Poppy beat her and didn’t even allow her to eat, she often daydreamed that her “father” might swoop down to rescue her from the misery, just once.
But he never did.
He never showed any concern for her. Even on the few occasions that they ran into each other, he only reminded her to “listen to your mother”.
The Olsen family dynamics were weird. Everyone seemed resigned to Poppy’s presence, but except for Mrs. Olsen, no one could accept Keira at all…
Keira didn’t respond to the old lady.
She turned her attention back to a few dresses she had just tried on, picked out the best of a bad bunch, and handed it to the sales associate, ready to pay and leave.
Seeing this, Taylor said, “I know you’re broke. Let me pay for this dress. Consider it a present for my mother-in-law.”
But Isla suddenly chimed in. “Dad, I’ve just gone around the store. This dress is the best for a gift…”
A sales associate standing nearby immediately said with a smile, “Miss, you have excellent taste. This dress is pure handmade embroidery. It’s one of a kind in all of Oceanion. Why don’t you consider something else…”
Upon hearing this, Taylor’s eyes lit up. “Let’s choose this one!”
He turned to Keira. “This dress is for your sister. You can pick another one.”
“Your sister is going to visit the Hortons, and this is a gift for Old Mrs. Horton!”
Taylor scolded Keira. “Can’t your husband’s grandmother just wear something else? Is she more important than Old Mrs. Horton?”
Keira remained resolute. “I’ll take this dress.”
Keira felt it laughable. How did a dress that she had her eyes on first become a matter of her fighting with Isla over it?
Taylor continued. “How about this? I’ll give you thirty thousand dollars for the dress which is worth one thousand. Consider it as part of your dowry.”
Isla chimed in with a feigned kind-hearted voice. “Keira, you haven’t found a job after graduation. You better take Dad’s offer quickly. Don’t miss out on such a good deal just because you’re angry with me.”
In the end, Taylor threatened Keira. “If you insist on getting this dress, I’m not going to pay for you.”
True to his seasoned businessman form, he had resorted to threats and bribes to buy Isla a dress.
Keira had no desire to continue arguing with them. She was about to pay for the dress with her debit card when the old lady who had been silent until now suddenly held her hand back. “Dear, I don’t want this dress. It’s not nice.”
Keira looked at her. “Grandma, none of the others suit you either.”
The old lady was stubborn. “Well, in that case, I don’t want any of them.”
She had already bought all the suitable clothes for this season! All that was left in the store were the ones she didn’t want. How could there be any good ones?
Also, according to their conversation, was her granddaughter’s sister planning to gift this dress to Old Mrs. Horton?
Old Mrs. Horton…that sounded familiar…
The old lady was a bit foggy.
Seeing this, Keira didn’t insist. She assured the old woman. “Then let’s not buy it.”
Only then did Taylor look satisfied. “If only you had been so sensible earlier, it would’ve saved us all that talk. Next time, if you can’t afford it, don’t go into stores like this. You wouldn’t want to embarrass the Olsen family if you get spotted by acquaintances.”
Isla gave a dismissive laugh.
Just moments ago, she was all sugar and spice with the elderly woman, now she was showing her true colors.
Isla had the store employee pack up the dress and then turned to Keira. “Thank you for giving in to me. Once I marry into the Horton family, I’ll help you and your husband find a good job.”
Keira didn’t pay her any mind. She was ready to leave with the old lady.
Taylor intercepted her, offering a check. “Here’s the 30,000 I promised you as your dowry. It should help with your living expenses.”
Keira was taken aback. “There’s no need.”
“Do you think it’s too little? The Olsen company belongs to Isla’s mother, and it’ll be left to Isla in the future. This is the most I can give you.”
Taylor handed out the check as if he was doing charity. “With this 30,000, you and your husband could open a small stall to make a living. In the future, just live a simple life, and don’t hope for things that aren’t meant for you!”
Keira initially thought Taylor might have a shred of fatherly love for her, but now she only saw the scorn. “What isn’t meant for me?”
“Like shopping at this kind of mall or… trying to seduce Mr. Horton!”
Taylor warned her, “If you bring disaster upon yourself, don’t involve the Olsen family! Today, the store staff didn’t dare to offend such an old lady, that’s why they didn’t make a fuss over you. But if you offend Mr. Horton, it won’t simply be defused by the old woman playing hardball!”
Keira finally gave up on him. “Rest assured, I have nothing to do with the Olsen family anymore!”
She left without looking back.
As they were leaving, the old lady held Keira’s hand. “Dear, your father and your sister are really wicked. From now on, my grandson will have your back, and make sure no one looks down on you.”
A warmth spread in Keira’s chest. “Alright.”
The old lady grumbled again. “Give that ugly dress to that Old Mrs. Horton they mentioned. I don’t want it!”
Just as she finished speaking, her phone rang.
She answered, and a man’s voice came over the other end. “Mom, you should come home with Lewis tonight. Jake’s fiancée is coming home for the first time to meet the family.”
The old lady was taken aback. Something that had been foggy in her mind suddenly became clear.
In a flash, she remembered who she was.
So she was the sucker, Old Mrs. Horton!
She hung up the phone and then sent a voice message over WhatsApp to Lewis Horton. “Dear grandson, I’ve just been mistreated! You must come home tonight and stand up for me!”
After she sent the message, the old lady turned to Keira and whispered, “Dear, I finally remember what my grandson’s name is!”
Keira asked, “What’s his name?”
She was quite curious about who this “Grandson” was.
Given the wide range of her work, there was a chance they had met.
The old lady gestured her over. Keira bent down, moved closer, and then heard what the old lady said. “I’ll only tell you. You mustn’t tell anybody else!”
“Okay.”
The old lady cleared her throat, “His nickname is Puppy.”
Keira was dumbfounded.
The old lady explained, “My grandson was born in the year of the dog. He was only a little over two pounds at birth. The doctor said he wouldn’t live long, so I gave him this name, hoping it would bring him good luck!”
“…”
Keira’s mouth twitched, barely holding back her laughter.
From the old lady’s words, it was clear that her grandson was at least the CEO of a company. Did his subordinates even know he was called Puppy?
Just as she was about to ask his real name, the old lady started speaking again, “Granddaughter-in-law, the clothes here aren’t good. Would you accompany me home to get a few more this evening?”
Keira had just heard the old lady’s voice message to “Grandson”, so she knew he would be home too.
Since they had agreed to meet, she didn’t decline. “Okay.”
After finding a nice place to have lunch, Keira was planning to send the old lady home to rest and then go to see Lewis Horton.
But the old lady said, “I’m not tired at all. I’ll go to work with you. When you finish work, you can go home with me.”
She seemed to be afraid that Keira might regret it and not go home with her.
Such an old baby…
Keira agreed in resignation.
–
They arrived at the site of a charity donation event organized by the government.
Keira arranged for the old lady to go to the resting room and then, with her press ID in hand, took her seat in the hall.
Today, Lewis Horton would be representing the Horton Group in making a donation.
She sat right in the middle of the front row in a perfect position to be seen by him.
She even talked to the organizers so that she would be picked to ask a question later.
In front of all the people, she was planning to hint to Lewis Horton that he should check his marriage status at the Bureau of Civil Affairs!
Upon hearing the hint, Lewis wouldn’t look too happy.
Keira imagined a wonderful scene.
The activity began, and soon the host mentioned the name of Horton Group.
Keira was excited and was waiting for Lewis Horton, but she saw Tom Davis on the stage.
Tom gave Keira a meaningful glance, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Horton had something else come up today. However, the donation from Horton Group must still be delivered as planned…”
Keira’s smile froze on her face.
She took out her phone and saw a message that Samuel sent her five minutes ago. “Boss, all of Lewis Horton’s recent schedules have been temporarily changed!”
What a cunning man!
But it likely wasn’t because of her. After all, in Lewis Horton’s eyes, she was someone he could easily ignore.
It was likely that he had discovered his schedule had been leaked and had to change it temporarily for safety reasons.
Who was he attempting to avoid?
…
Keira continued her interview. In the end, she handed over the equipment and interview materials to a colleague from the same newspaper and let them leave first.
She went to the resting room to fetch the old lady and then went to a car manufacturing factory.
This was a branch of the Horton Group.
While Lewis could cancel the rest of his schedule, this kind of grassroots factory inspection had already been prepared by the factory, so he couldn’t just change it on a whim. That would be disrespectful to so many workers.
Sure enough, after Keira and the old lady waited in the coffee shop outside the factory for a while, they saw a low-key black Bentley drive into the factory gate.
Keira asked the coffee shop staff to look after the old lady while she walked to the factory.
She showed her temporary worker ID to the gatehouse. The gatekeeper glanced at it and then said, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Davis ordered that during Mr. Horton’s inspection, all deliverymen, maintenance workers, as well as interns and temporary employees, are not allowed to enter.”
“…”
Keira knew it would be like this!
Tom was really going out of his way to stop her from seeing Lewis Horton…
Keira smirked, then handed over another work badge. Seeing it, the gatekeeper immediately stood upright and looked at her with admiration. “Please come in.”
Keira took back the work badge and casually went into the gate.
She quickly found Lewis Horton.
The man was inspecting the workshop under the guidance of the factory head. All the workers were outside the door, and the entrance was guarded by bodyguards, making it impossible to get in.
Keira could only look at him through the glass window from a distance.
The man was dressed in a suit, and his handsome face and luxurious demeanor contrasted sharply with the dark, cold machinery around him, creating a visual feast.
He was listening intently to the factory head, occasionally interjecting, which left the factory head amazed. Three to five minutes later, the factory head was thoroughly impressed with this new CEO.
Suddenly, the man seemed to sense something, turned his head slowly, and met eyes with Keira.
Keira waved at him.
But Lewis Horton frowned and looked away.
At this moment, Tom stepped forward and pulled down all the blinds, cutting off all sight.
Keira was speechless.
Once again, she was escorted out of the factory by the bodyguards, and Tom scolded the gatekeeper at the gate. “Didn’t I say that interns and temporary workers were not allowed in?!”
The gatekeeper stammered, “But she’s not an ordinary temporary worker, she…”
Tom scoffed and interrupted the gatekeeper, “She’s indeed extraordinary…”
After all, how could an ordinary person hold so many jobs?
Tom was extremely annoyed. He said angrily to Keira, “Miss Olsen, our boss didn’t want to stoop to your level before, but you just wouldn’t take the hint. You’ve bothered him over and over again. If you dare to show up in front of him again, we will report you for harassment!”
Keira sighed, “If you don’t want me to continue bothering you, just go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs and check whether Mr. Horton and I are married. Why won’t you believe me?”
Tom sneered, “In our country, all formalities must be completed for a marriage certificate, and there’s no way a certificate will be issued when the parties involved aren’t present. Your lies are absurd and ridiculous. Only a fool would believe such nonsense!”
“…”
Keira now knew that this argument was futile.
She shrugged and said helplessly, “Then I guess I’ll just have to keep bothering you.”
Tom sneered. “Do you really think you can see our boss whenever you want? If you ever see him again, that would mean I’ve failed as an assistant! If that happens, I’ll eat excrement live on broadcast!”
Keira didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.
It seemed that tomorrow she really had to resort to drastic measures.
After picking up the old lady, Keira sent a WhatsApp message to “Grandson”. “Granny wants to go home to get some clothes. What’s your address?”
“Grandson” quickly sent a location.
He sent another message. “I’ll be done soon Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”
Keira opened the location and was shocked when she saw it.
No. One Manor… Wasn’t that the Horton family’s residence?!
House One Manor of Oceanion was quite legendary.
It sat halfway up a hill with the whole community sprawling across three thousand acres, and Horton’s old house bathed in over two thousand acres.
The rest were a few dozen small villas that dotted around the Horton property.
It was the most famous rich district in Oceanion.
Keira assumed the elderly lady lived in one of those small villas; it never crossed her mind that this could be the Horton house.
She replied to a message. “That’s alright. We’re already in a taxi.”
The elderly lady looked tired and was dozing off as soon as she got into the car.
The taxi winded its way on a broad and well-maintained mountain road before entering House One Manor and dropped them at the location specified by the GPS.
Keira looked up at a grandeur black gate, which was carved with antique patterns, and hesitated. “Grandma, is this your home?”
The elderly lady, still half-asleep, looked dazed. “Granddaughter-in-law, I can’t remember.”
Keira was speechless.
She messaged “Grandson”. “I think we might have taken the wrong turn.”
“Grandson” replied, “Stay put. I’ll be right there.”
As they drove in, Keira noticed that even the nearest house was a five-minute drive away; it wasn’t wise to wander around.
She helped the elderly lady to a stone bench nearby to sit.
Suddenly, a BMW X7 pulled up in front of them.
Isla and Poppy got out of the back seat and marched toward them.
Poppy’s brows furrowed in anger, and she cried out, “Keira? It really is you! What are you doing here?”
She was here today as Isla’s nanny. She spotted a young woman lingering in front of Horton’s house from afar, never expecting it to be Keira!
Isla glanced at the tightly closed gate of the Horton house. “Keira, are you back to pestering Mr. Horton?”
At that, Poppy rebuked fiercely. “You bitch! Don’t you know what the occasion is? Leave immediately! If you ruin Isla’s family reunion, you’ll regret it!”
Keira was really sick of them.
But the elderly woman was there, and she didn’t want a conflict, so she swallowed her impatience and tried to explain, “I’m here to take the old lady home. We just took the wrong turn.”
Isla responded instinctively, “Isn’t this your husband’s grandma? She can’t possibly live in this community!”
Keira retorted sarcastically, “Why can’t she? Did your family build this community?”
Isla was speechless.
But Poppy sneered. “What are you pretending for? Can your poor husband’s grandma afford a house here?”
She then turned to the elderly woman, “Old thing, tell me, which villa do you live in?”
Just as Keira was about to say something, the elderly woman suddenly stood up. “I remembered! I live here! Granddaughter-in-law, let’s go home!”
She grabbed Keira’s hand and began to head toward the grand gate of the Horton house.
The gate was still a hundred meters away.
But they only took a few steps when Isla spoke. “Keira, after all that, you’re using the old lady as an excuse to get into the Horton house, aren’t you?”
Keira paused and fixed her gaze ahead of her. The Horton house?
Even though she had a vague suspicion upon seeing the grandeur gate…
But how could she possibly connect the polite “Grandson” from WhatsApp, with the ruthless Lewis…
Maybe the old woman remembered wrong?
Just as she was about to double-check, Poppy lunged over, reaching out to grab the old woman. “You shameless old hag, how dare you try to get in with this excuse! I won’t let you create chaos in the Horton house!”
Keira was taken aback. She managed to shield the elderly woman, and with one hand grabbing Poppy, she pushed her away forcefully, shouting, “What do you think you’re doing?”
The elderly lady was old and frail and could not stand any form of rough action!
Poppy staggered backward from the force of the push. Once she regained her balance, she cursed Keira. “You ungrateful wretch, to think that you would hurt your own mother for this old woman! I’ll call the police and have you charged with unfilial conduct!”
Keira ignored her, but the elderly woman retorted instantly, “My granddaughter-in-law is not unfilial. You’re lying!”
Poppy chuckled. “Old hag, you must be really desperate to allow your granddaughter-in-law to be with another man, aren’t you? Is it because she gives you a cut? Or is your family just naturally into this kind of stuff? You must have served a lot of men in your youth, you old hussy!”…
“Shut up!!”
Keira blurted out, hurriedly checking the old lady.
Never having been insulted like this, the elderly woman was visibly shaken.
She clutched at her chest, her body beginning to shake uncontrollably, and she collapsed to the ground.
Keira quickly helped her up, “Grandma, what’s wrong?”
The elderly lady was gasping for breath and couldn’t form a single word.
Keira immediately took out the nitroglycerin from her pocket, but upon opening the bottle, she realized that it was empty!!
Her pupils contracted.
The elderly lady was weak; CPR wouldn’t be suitable unless absolutely necessary. It would be best to give her medication.
She cast a dire look at the grand gate. The Horton House must have medication!
Even if the elderly lady wasn’t part of the Horton family, they were neighbors, and they wouldn’t just stand by and let her die, would they?
Carrying the old lady in her arms, Keira comforted her, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll take you inside to get some medicine!”
But Isla grabbed her arm forcefully. “Keira, stop it! It was tolerable when you acted pitiful to buy clothes, but how could you deliberately provoke the Horton family? They won’t let you in…”
She looked over at the elderly woman, an unsettling gleam in her eyes.
The old woman looked pretty sick and seemed to be about to pass away any moment.
If she were to die, Keira’s husband would surely blame her! After that, Keira wouldn’t dare to mess with other men!
At this moment, Keira felt like she was about to explode in frustration!
Her beautiful eyes were filled with towering rage, and she lifted her foot to kick Isla.
“Get Lost!”
Her voice was hoarse with anger.
But the next moment, her leg was tightly hugged by someone.
Poppy was sitting on the ground, her arms wrapped tightly around Keira’s legs with no regard for her image,
“You think you’re the only one who can deliberately provoke others? You’re wrong! I’m also dying! I’ve been beaten up by my own daughter!
“My chest hurts so bad, I can’t take it anymore!
“Even if I’m going to die today, I won’t let this old hag deliberately provoke the Horton family!”
Keira was so incensed that she was trembling all over, her eyes darkening.
She kicked Poppy off and rammed her elbow into Isla’s stomach, then strode forward!
Isla bent over in pain, breaking into a cold sweat.
Ignoring her own aches and pains, Poppy once again lunged at Keira, latching onto her legs and yelling hysterically, “Help! She’s trying to murder me!”
Being cautious of the elderly woman in her arms, Keira found herself unable to shake Poppy off!
Just as things started to escalate, a black Bentley slowly made its way over.
Lewis got out of the car, demanding sharply, “What the hell are you doing?!”
Isla immediately said, “Mr. Horton, it’s Keira. She’s trying to force her way into the Horton family house with a dying old woman. I tried to stop her but…”
Hearing this, Keira slowly turned around.
Upon seeing the elderly woman in her arms, Lewis’s pupils contracted!
16 She Got Married
The elderly woman in Keira’s 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 couldn’t lose her!
When Keira saw him approaching, she drew her own conclusions. However, it wasn’t 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!

16 She Got Married
After a pause, she added, “She’ll 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 didn’t 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 Keira’s husband!”
Poppy released Keira and stood up, dusting off her clothes as she said, “Mr. Horton looks so worried. He’s probably afraid of causing a real disaster. If someone were to die here, the Horton family won’t look good when word gets out…”
She shot Keira a spiteful glare, “She’s banking on this to rush into the Horton house while carrying that

decrepit old woman, isn’t she?”
Isla frowned.
It could be.
Keira’s punk husband couldn’t possibly be Lewis, right?
She was probably overthinking…
Just then, the front door of the Horton house opened, and Jake stepped out.
Isla’s 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 didn’t 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, it’s 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, you’re 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 didn’t like being disturbed.
Jake’s words sounded casual, but Isla mistook them for
truth and was instantly relieved.
Jake unabashedly eyed Keira
He didn’t 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 lady’s health and paid no attention to the couple’s 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 you’ve 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, you’ve misunderstood. Keira is waiting for her husband’s 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 didn’t get a chance to tell you.
Keira is married…
Jake’s 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 it’s none of my business? I want to see who dares to marry you without my consent!”
Isla hastily replied, “From what I’ve heard from Keira’s mother, he’s 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. That’s why she keeps pestering Mr. Horton…”
Keira shot back in a cold, mocking laugh. “Isla, for someone who considers herself a lady, it’s surprising that your mind is filled with such filthy thoughts. Can’t you think of anything else?”
A chill ran down Isla’s 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 shouldn’t meddle in someone

else’s marriage…”
Π
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 husband’s grandmother had a heart attack at my doorstep. You were here to visit my uncle, weren’t 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. Don’t 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 Horton’s house was huge.
Inside the gate, a buggy was available to shuttle Keira directly to the main building’s 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 family’s 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. Don’t let a nasty creature like you smear the Horton house’s 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”?”

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 Lewis’s 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…”
