150 Disappointment
Keira knew that no matter what she said, these people wouldn't believe her.
Just like the class reunion a few days ago...
She didn’t plan to make empty claims. Instead, she took out evidence, hoping to
convince Mrs. Olsen of her innocence.
She looked at Mrs. Olsen and slowly said, “Ma'am, Mr. Horton and I truly are...”
Before she could finish, a hand suddenly reached out from the side and snatched
her marriage certificate from Mrs. Olsen's hand.
Isla’s shrill voice interrupted her. “Do you think that just by producing a marriage
certificate, you can prove your claim? Keira, do you take everyone for blind
fools?”
Without even looking at the document, she attempted to tear it apart, but her
manicured nails prevented her from exerting any strength. Frustrated, she threw
it violently onto the floor and repeatedly ground it

under her high heels.
Keira’s pupils contracted, and she immediately grabbed Isla’s arm, her other
hand swinging down at her!
“Smack!”
The loud slap echoed in the hallway. Unlike the slap Mrs. Olsen had delivered
before, this time a visible handprint welled up on Isla’s face.
With a fierce look in her eyes, Keira stared at her. “Isla, I could call the police
right now and accuse you of destroying national documents, and you would end
up in jail.”
At these words, Isla’s fingers tightened, but a glance at Mrs. Olsen bolstered her
confidence. “Go ahead, call
the police, and why not summon some reporters too? Let everyone see whether
itis you, the adulteress and homewrecker who should be denounced and vilified,
or whether I, the defender of justice, should be
blamed!”
Keira said forcefully, “I've said it before, I am not the
“other woman’, Lewis and I are...”
“Smack.”

Suddenly, something brushed across her face.
Keira was stopped mid-sentence, and she froze in place, and in disbelief. She
slowly turned her head to
look at the one who had struck her-Mrs. Olsen.
Mrs. Olsen's eyes were red, her body trembling slightly as she stared at Keira,
“Keira, if you still listen to me, leave this place with me now!”
Keira's eyes widened in astonishment.
Actually, it didn’t hurt at all...
Mrs. Olsen hadn't had the heart to hit hard, and her cheek had only been grazed.
Having been beaten by Poppy from a young age, this slap was indeed the
lightest she had ever received in
her life...
Yet Keira had never felt as heartbroken as she did at
this moment, the pain so severe that for an instant she struggled to breathe.
Clenching her fists tightly, she stared in shock at Mrs. Olsen and after a long
moment found her voice again, “...You don't believe me either?”
Mrs. Olsen hadn't expected to strike her either. She

looked down at her trembling fingers and let out a bitter smile upon hearing
Keira's words.
She had always believed in Keira’s character. As a child, Keira would rather
starve and rummage through garbage bins for food than casually take a cake left
out on the table, even if she was nearly dying of hunger...
Back then, Mrs. Olsen had admired Keira immensely.
And gradually, she took her to heart.
But she had never expected her to do something like
this...
Mrs. Olsen had already made inquiries and learned that Lewis got married two
years ago, but Keira had only registered her marriage this year. She simply
couldn't imagine the two being husband and wife.
And the photographs that Isla showed her last time weren't edited; they were
real...
In those photos, the intimacy and the looks in the eyes of Keira and Lewis clearly
showed they had feelings for one another...
So how could she possibly believe Keira?
Mrs. Olsen closed her eyes, feeling dizzy from anger.

Overcome with a sense of powerlessness, in the end,
all she could say to Keira was, “Leave...”
Keira was stunned. “Mrs. Olsen, it's not what you think, Mr. Horton and I...”
Isla felt immense satisfaction upon witnessing this
scene.
Keira was too capable of fighting back, making Isla always feel powerless in front
of her.
But there was one person whom Keira would never retaliate against, and that
was Mrs. Olsen!
She said sarcastically, “Didn’t you hear what my mom said? She wants you to
leave. She never wants to see someone as despicable as you ever again! You
and your mother are both shameless homewreckers who
shouldn't be seen in daylight!”
Keira continued to look at Mrs. Olsen, “Mrs. Olsen..."
Isla stepped forward, placing herself between her and Mrs. Olsen. “Are you
leaving or not? Are you staying here on purpose to upset my mom to death so
your own mother can take her place? What exactly are you plotting?!”

As soon as these words fell, Mrs. Olsen went limp, and she was about to
collapse to the ground!
“Shirley!”
Taylor quickly approached and steadied Mrs. Olsen's shaky body. He looked
around in shock and asked, “What happened?”
Isla immediately said, “My mom can't stand the shame of Keira being here as my
uncle’s mistress and
homewrecker and told her to leave, but she refused,
and it upset my mom!”
Upon hearing this, Taylor immediately glared at Keira. “You ungrateful creature!
How well has Shirley treated you since you were little? Have you no
conscience?!”
Keira looked at them, momentarily not knowing what
to say.
She suddenly let out a low laugh, finding it all rather meaningless.
Not a single person was patient enough to listen to her explanations...
She cast down her eyes, her expression indifferent. “Mrs. Olsen, take good care
of yourself. There's no

need to get angry because of me.”
After these words, she turned and walked away.
Mrs. Olsen leaned on Taylor, watching Keira leave, wanting to reach out and call
her back, but not knowing what to say...
Isla pointed toward the lounge and said, “Dad, Mom, why don’t you go inside and
rest for a bit...”
Taylor helped Mrs. Olsen into the room.

After a while, Mrs. Olsen finally
regained her breath. Taylor scolded
her angrily. “Shirley, why are you
getting angry over such an ungrateful
daughter? She's not worth your
efforts! Her mother had no shame
and schemed against me to have her.
She has Poppy Hill's blood flowing in
her veins. She's selfish and without a
moral bottom line...” The content is

“You're always strict with Isla, and
you always tell me that Keira is better
than her. Look at her now. Keira's
moral bottom line is far behind Isla’s!
No matter what, Isla has never
reduced herself to being a mistress!

Taylor held Mrs. Olsen's hand. “Shirley, promise me, don’t worry about Keira
anymore. From now on, stay away from her, and don't upset yourself anymore,
alright?”
Mrs. Olsen painfully closed her eyes.
Had this child, Keira, truly gone astray?
She clenched her fists tightly, finding it hard to believe, yet the truth was before
her eyes...

Seeing she didn't respond, Taylor
simply said, “Are you feeling better
now? If you are, then let's go. We've
made our presence known today, and
that should be enough for the Horton
family.” The content is on

Mrs. Olsen, trembling and unsteady, stood up, and with the support of Taylor,
stepped out of the lounge.
By then, the outside had quieted down. Everyone had gone to the front hall.
As the two of them stepped out, they saw a marriage certificate lying lonely on
the ground; Mrs. Olsen paused, then took a step forward and picked it up...
