Isla’s eyes immediately flashed with a hint of gloom!
She lowered her gaze to hide the excitement within and exchanged a look with
Melissa, both of their eyes glittering with shrewdness.
What was something that poor ordinary people couldn't even come into contact
with, but for the upper class, it was as commonplace as household meals?
Of course, it was the equestrian club!
Equestrian lessons were prohibitively expensive, and an average family simply
couldn't afford them. Moreover, a batch of foals was worth hundreds of
thousands. Even after purchasing, there were still costs of keeping them in a
ranch, with the minimum annual expense being in the region of two hundred
thousand or more.
Ordinary middle-class families simply couldn't afford

Therefore, only those who were wealthy and powerful
11-40
could afford horseback riding lessons!
Today, they had to make Keira lose face at the equestrian club, giving Nathan an
excuse to pull Lewis down from the position of family head!
For today’s gathering, which consisted of a group of young people, Melissa and
Oliver wouldn't attend. She patted Isla’s hand and gave her a warning look.
Isla clenched her fists, thinking of Melissa's disdainful and warning look when
they left the house that morning, and felt waves of shame and anger!
What Melissa said was still ringing in her ears. “Marrying you was the worst thing
that had happened to Jake! You were taken away by the police last night, making
the first branch of the family lose all its face! If you don’t regain our honor today
and give Lewis and his wife a piece of our mind, I'll have Jake divorce you!”
Isla bit her lip and followed Jake toward the direction of the parking lot.
Jake was indifferent to her all the way, his gaze firmly fixed on Keira, who was
walking ahead, his expression inscrutable.
After the groun arrived at the parking lot. Isla was
11:40

about to go to the car she shared with Jake when a bodyguard stopped her. “Mr.
Horton has asked you to
see him.”
Isla was surprised and walked over to Keira and Lewis,
clueless.
Today, Keira was dressed in a white equestrian outfit, looking poised and
graceful. The white attire
accentuated her tall, slender figure, making her look vibrant and commanding.
Lewis, on the other hand, hadn't changed his clothes
and was still in a black suit. His cool demeanor and
firm contours added a certain charisma to him.
Isla clenched her fists, her face smiling. “Uncle, did you need something from
me?”
Lewis's narrow eyes fixed on her, the darkness of his gaze harboring feelings
that were difficult for Isla to decipher, making her feel intensely uncomfortable.
Then, she heard Lewis speak. “Since you have been disrespectful to your
seniors on several occasions, it's time I taught you some manners. Now, open
the car door for your aunt.”
Isla’s pupils constricted sharply at these words!

She looked incredulously at Lewis but saw no hint of jest on the man’s face.
Turning to look at Keira, she saw an expression of surprise as well.
Her last hope was to seek help from Jake, but he only
frowned and remained silent.
Isla clenched her fists.
A surge of intense humiliation welled up inside her.
How could this be....
Ever since they were young, Keira had always been her little slave. If she told
Keira to go east, Keira wouldn't dare go west... Keira had no dignity in front of
her and had to keep her head lowered.
Isla was always high above, firmly pressing down on
her.
How dare that woman climb over her head now?!
Isla wanted nothing more than to tear Keira's face apart, eat her flesh, and suck
her blood!
But she dared not...
She could only forcefully suppress all her humiliation,

bow her head, walk to the side of the car, and barely squeeze out a few words
through gritted teeth. “Aunt Keira, please get in.”
Keira, with her gaze lowered, went straight into the car
and sat down.
Isla finally closed the door for her.
The car slowly started, leaving the angry Isla behind. Only then did Keira turn to
look at Lewis and say, “Thank you.”
She knew that when Isla spoke just now, Lewis must have heard her from
upstairs, and that was why he had deliberately humiliated Isla a moment ago-to
restore Keira’s dignity.
Her gaze dropped as she said slowly, “Actually, she just learned to ride a horse
and had me lead the horse for her. Once she could gallop, she didn’t need me
anymore.”
After all, she couldn't run as fast as the horse...
She smiled, “I was quite envious of her riding at that time. Later...”
Before she could finish, Lewis took her hand, his tone
11:41
filled with indulgence. “If you think horse riding is fun, then I'll teach you today.”
Keira blinked, swallowing the rest of her words, and just curled her lips into a
slight smile, “Okay.”
Lewis looked at her. “What's past is past. Whatever you envied her for before, I'll
give to you from now on.”
Keira nodded earnestly.
They soon arrived at the equestrian field.
The Horton family had their own private parking area, and once they parked the
car, Lewis and Keira got out.
They walked toward the changing room.
One needed to change into proper riding attire for horseback riding. Keira had
already changed at the Horton's, so she didn't need to switch clothes.
But Lewis needed to change.
So she simply loitered around the changing room area.
Isla and Jake had gotten out of the car and disappeared somewhere. Isla
probably feared losing
11:41
face in front of so many people if Lewis, acting as an
elder, forced her to serve Keira again.
Which was just fine.
At least it intimidated her.
While Keira was lost in her thoughts, two people came by, chatting with each
other.
“Have you heard? Some people from Clance will come today, and one of them
isn't someone to be messed
with!”
“We can't mess with any of the young masters from Clance.”
“This one’s different... It's said to be from that family!”
The other person immediately lowered his voice. “The Olsen family from
Clance?”

“Shh... keep it down. Even the Horton
family in Oceanion will have to tread
carefully around that person, right?
Who knows why they're coming
today, but we need to serve them
with caution! Not just Lewis, we
mustn't provoke that person either.”

“I'm not stupid. I'd rather offend the Horton family than that person...”

As they spoke, they walked past Keira.
Keira watched them go, pensive. Among those coming from Clance they
mentioned, Frankie must be one of
them, right?
Just as she thought about this, she saw Frankie emerge from the changing room.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses and
clad in black riding gear, he looked
trim and tall. Upon seeing Keira,
Frankie seemed slightly surprised
and approached her. The content is

“Miss Olsen, what a coincidence.”
The last time they had met, they'd had an awkward moment due to Frankie
mistaking Isla for her, but after a few days, that awkwardness had dissipated.

Keira had a good relationship with
Frankie's parents, and she was
straightforward with Frankie. “Mrs.
Allen asked me to come to your place
tonight to see a photo you brought.

something to do with me?” The

Frankie thought of the face in the photos that resembled Keira and smiled, “Yes,
it does.”
