102 The Stolen Life (2)
Keira said, “Okay.”
“Fantastic, my dear granddaughter-in-law, let's go
home!”
The car quickly entered House One Manor, winding along the driveway for ten
minutes before entering the Horton residence
Despite not being her first visit, Keira still marveled at
the size of the manor.
No wonder Isla was so keen to marry Jake and become
the hostess here.
She was lost in her thoughts when their car pulled
over.
Keira and Lewis helped old Mrs. Horton out of the and into the living room.
As they entered, they saw Isla trying to appease Jake. “Jake, don’t be mad at
me. I've already apologized to the Allen family. They won’t blame me anymore.”
Jake's expression was foul. He initially tried to ignore her, but upon hearing the
approaching footsteps and

Keira entering alongside Lewis, he stood up in surprise. “Keira, what are you
doing in my house?!”
Before he could continue, old Mrs. Horton snapped. “I invited my granddaughter-
in-law here! Got a problem with that?”
Jake was taken aback, “Granddaughter-in-law?”
Isla quickly said, “Jake, it seems like Great-grandma has mistaken Keira for Mr.
Horton's wife...”
Jake immediately glanced at Keira and Lewis, his brows furrowed.
Lewis suddenly emphasized each word. “Miss Olsen is our guest. She'll be
staying with the Hortons for a
while.”
At the sound of these words, Isla clenched her fist even tighter, her eyes glowing
with jealousy.
She voiced her disagreement. “Is this a good idea? Keira being labeled as a killer
might bring trouble to the Horton family. If a reporter catches wind of her staying
here, people might think we're harboring her. This might even affect the Horton's
stock...”
Before she could say anything else, Lewis cut in with a

cold voice, “The matters of the Horton family are none of your concern.”
Isla felt insulted and bit her lip in frustration.
Suddenly, Jake grabbed her hand. “Uncle Lewis, Isla is just concerned for the
Horton family. After all, she’s my fiancée.”
A wave of happiness washed over Isla!
Despite her efforts to make up for her mistakes recently, Jake had been ignoring
her. But now that he suddenly supported her, she realized he was using her to
target Keira.
Isla was never one to be blinded by love. She knew what she had to do. Jake
wouldn't let her go because he still found her useful.
Now, what she needed to do was to stay here an
rid of Keira!
With this in mind, she gave Jake a nod and was abo to speak when her phone
suddenly rang.
Without thinking, she pulled out her phone and saw “Connor” flashing on the
screen.
Now was a critical moment to win Jake back, so how

could she take another man’s call?
She immediately hung up and went on. “Mr. Horton, I'm not against Keira. I'm just
giving advice from a PR perspective. The Horton family should clear its name
from any negativity. I...”
She heard the ringtone.
Her phone rang again.
Isla quickly picked up and hung up again.
Before she could say anything, the phone rang once
more.
Jake's face darkened, and he let go of her hand. “Just answer your phone!”
Isla immediately clenched her fists, gave Jake an apologetic smile, and
answered the phone. “Hey, busy. Can we talk later...”
Before she could finish speaking, Connor snapped “What could be more
important than me?”
Isla tried to calm him down. “There really is something...”
“I don't care. I need you to come over right now! The
Cc
reporters are surrounding me, and they're all lashing out at me. Aunt Poppy is
also here at my school,
blocking my dorm door and calling me an ungrateful wretch! Doesn't she always
listen to you? Come here and take her away!”
Isla bit her lip and looked back at Jake. He was expecting her to do something,
and it was the only time in the past few days he'd seemed content with her. She
knew she couldn’t leave today.
Otherwise, Jake would truly be fed up with her!
Isla covered the phone and said to Jake, “I'm going to take this call and try to
finish it as quickly as possible.”
Then she walked out the door.
Once she left, Keira and Lewis exchanged a glan
Lewis immediately pulled out his phone and beg tapping the screen. He then
handed Keira a Blue earphone.
The conversation between Isla and Connor was immediately transmitted into the
earpiece.
She could hear Isla’s every word. “Connor, stop making a fuss. I have something
very important going on now.

“I can't bear it!" Connor yelled angrily.
“You don't know what it feels like. The
way my classmates look at me- it's
all disgusted and disdainful looks.
When I go to the canteen, even the
people there won't serve me food
anymore! Wherever I go, I'm pointed

away and leave this city! We'll find a

Isla lost her patience and snapped
back, “Enough! If we leave here,
where would we go? Do you have
money? Without any money, how are
we supposed to live? In Oceanion, I'm
Miss Olsen. If I go with you, could you
provide me with the life I have now?”

Upon hearing this, Keira's eyes narrowed a bit.
She thought it would take at least a couple of days before Isla and Connor would
have a fallout, but it wasn’t even a full day before Connor lost his patienc
