My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

115 Breaking Off the Engagement

At these words, the entire dining table fell suddenly silent.”

Unclear on the situation, Melissa asked, “What's wrong

with the trending topics on Twitter? Today's hot

search is filled with praises for Isla, a fact I'm well

aware of!”

She was the one who instructed the PR department to

do this.

“Are you sure it’s praise?”

Lewis's indifferent remark, however, ignited an ominous feeling in Melissa's
heart.

She immediately took out her phone and opened Twitter's hot search.

At the same time, Jake's phone also rang. It was a ca from the Horton Group’s
PR department!

Jake's expression suddenly changed after he took the call, and he abruptly hung
up, looking incredulous. He then opened Twitter on his phone to check the
trending video.

Isla, not understanding what was going on, hesitantly asked, “Jake, what's
wrong?”

“What's wrong? You still have the nerve to ask what's wrong?”

Before Jake could continue, Melissa had already swept all the tableware off the
table, directing it all at Isla!

The hot milk that had just been served scalded Isla, making her jump up
immediately. As she was about to speak, Melissa stood up, swinging her arm...
“Slap!”

The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the room.

Isla stood still, holding her face, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just
occurred. “Auntie, what exactly is going on?”

With a cold sneer, Melissa said, “Check Twitter!”

It was only after checking Twitter that Isla realized she had been harshly
criticized.

It turned out that after Ms. S retweeted Josh's post, it immediately captured
everyone's attention, allowing it to ferment to the top of the hot search in such a
short

time.

Moreover, after the police investigation, they had

already announced a reward, verbally praised Josh, and issued him a certificate
of commendation.

All was said and done, and there was no room left to turn things around!

In the past, when Isla stole Keira’s credit, at most a few people knew. But this
time was different; everyone now knew her hypocritical nature. This time, she
had thoroughly failed!

Isla remained rooted to the spot, stunned.

Seizing the moment, Tom walked in with a smile, holding a contract, and said,
“Mr. Horton, I have revised the contract here. Do we sign the share transfer
agreement now? Share transfers need to be made public.”

With an icy response, Lewis said, “Are you sure you still want such a daughter-in-
law? If the Horton family lets her in, I'm afraid it would become a joke!”

Upon hearing this, Melissa clenched her fists tightly and pointed furiously toward
the door. “Get out! I want you to get out! The marriage between our two

families is canceled!”

Isla still wanted to explain. “Auntie, I...”

“Shut your mouth! If you don’t leave now, I'll call security!”

Isla was shaking all over. She looked at Jake, only to see the man staring at her
with disbelief in his eyes, clearly showing that he wouldn't speak up for her.
Isla lowered her head. “I'll leave right away.”

Even after she left, the dining room remained deathly

silent.

Tom continued. “So about this share transfer

agreement... are we still signing it?”

Melissa was dumbfounded.

Nathan and Oliver both tensed their jaws.

It wasn't until this moment that they finally realized they had suffered a loss
today!

Not only did they fail to secure the five percent shares, but they had actually lost
two percent!

Nathan was so furious that his chest heaved with

anger. He glared at Oliver, then snorted coldly, stood

up, and stormed out.

Oliver got up to follow him. “Dad, let me take you back...”

With both men gone, Melissa and Jake would be a joke if they stayed. They
came pompously and left in disgrace.

Isla soon arrived back at the Olsen residence.

She was still covered in milk, dirty and disheveled.

As soon as she entered the house, Taylor came to greet her. “Isla, how did it go?
Jake came early this morning to take you to the Horton residence. Did you get
the shares?”

Right after he finished speaking, he noticed the expression on Isla’s face and
paused in surprise. “Is what's wrong? Shirley, come quick!”

Mrs. Olsen, who had been resting upstairs, came down with Aunt South's
assistance upon hearing this.

Seeing Isla’s condition, she frowned.

Taylor sat Isla down on the couch, rage on his face.

“Who did this to you? The Horton family? They dare to bully my daughter; I'll
confront them!”

But just as he reached the doorway, he was called back

by Isla. “Dad, no, it’s not that. Come back!”

Taylor stopped in his tracks. “Isla, then explain what exactly is going on?”
Before Isla could speak, Mrs. Olsen had already approached them.

Since recovering from her nightly coughs, she had been resting well recently, and
her complexion had greatly improved. She was no longer as pale as paper, yet
she remained frail, with a sickly look.

Still, she stood with the grace and uprightness of

bamboo in winter.

She began to speak slowly. “Is it about the inciden trending on social media?”

Isla’s pupils contracted, and lowering

her head, she covered her face and
began to cry. “Mom, I really didn't

Mrs. Olsen's tone was filled with disappointment. “If

you didn’t do it, why didn’t you tell the truth when the police questioned you?!”

Isla sobbed. “Because Jake thought it
was me who did it, he was being

Mrs. Olsen scoffed coldly. “Isla, even now, you're still making excuses for your
vanity and deceit!”

Isla suddenly looked up. “Mom! I really didn’t mean it. Can't you help me? Talk to
the Horton family. I know you have a way... Tell them not to call off the
engagement!”

Mrs. Olsen sighed. “The Horton family has called the engagement now? Then
you should just stay a home. I haven't been well before and didn’t bring yo up
properly. From now on, I'll keep an eye on you!”

After checking the news on Twitter, Taylor immediately intervened. “Shirley, don’t
be upset. It's just a small matter. She’s just a little vain and hasn’t seen through
the illusions of fame and gain yet. Don’t

Mrs. Olsen shook her head at once.
“Taylor, don't make excuses for her!

Don't indulge her anymore. To spare

the rod is to spoil the child; it's our

fault as parents for not raising her

right. From now on, we can no longer

No sooner had she finished than Isla sharply raised her head and looked at Mrs.
Olsen incredulously. “Mom! I've been wronged! Not only wouldn't you comfort me
when I come home, but you scold me instead!”

Leaving those words behind, she got up and ran

upstairs.

Suddenly, there was an alarmed shout from the nanny upstairs. “Miss!”

Mrs. Olsen and Taylor hurried upstairs only to find I had run to the third-floor
garden, climbed up on the railing, and was poised to jump.

Mrs. Olsen's legs gave way. “Isla!”

“Mom, go to the Horton family right now. I want this marriage! Otherwise, I'll
jump!”
