191 Father-in-Law
“No.”
Lewis abruptly grabbed her hand. “You don’t know Uncle Olsen. He's
domineering in his actions and won't give you a chance to explain. If I'm not
mistaken, as soon as you and Ellis go downstairs, he'll cripple one of your legs!”
Keira’s pupils constricted.
She looked at Ellis, only to see the man digging in his ear. “My third uncle said an
arm and a leg would suffice as an apology,” he said.
Keira remained silent.
Was it really like that?
She frowned, about to say something more, when Lewis stepped forward. “Let's
each take a step back. I'll go down with you, and we can talk to Uncle Olsen.”
Ellis pulled the finger he had been using to clean his ear, blew on it as though to
remove something nonexistent, and chuckled. “I don’t mind you going down to
chat with my third uncle, but how is this each

taking a step back?”
He looked at Lewis. “I'll have the bodyguards guard all the exits here, to avoid
you pulling a fast one and having her escape while we're distracted.”
After the two sides reached an agreement, Lewis looked at Keira. “Just stay on
this floor, and don’t go anywhere else.”
“Okay.”
Only then did Lewis go downstairs with Ellis.
Their respective bodyguards remained upstairs, one group guarding Keira while
the Olsen family guards watched them, to prevent Keira from escaping.
Keira didn’t want to stay in Isla’s room, so she walked out, intending to return to
Mrs. Olsen's room.
But before she could leave the room, she heard Isla say, “Keira, you used to do
whatever you wanted because of Uncle Lewis, but this time, I've got the Clance
Olsen family backing me up! Don't think I'm afraid of you! As long as you
apologize and admit your mistake, I might consider letting you off.”
Keira laughed at the remark. “Really? The Horton

family and the Olsen family are equals; do you think even with the support of the
Olsen family, the Horton family would want a woman who's pregnant with another
man’s child? Here, have a saying for you. “One who has brought it upon
themselves cannot live.”
Isla was speechless!
Jake then barked angrily. “Keira, even at a time like this, you're still attacking Isla!
She's the Olsen's daughter, do you think she'll be treated the same as you, an
illegitimate daughter? You married Uncle Lewis, yet you're still pestering me!”
Keira couldn't be bothered to explain the matter, simply lowering her gaze and
saying, “There's no point in these senseless words now; everything will be clear
in three hours.”
Leaving behind these words, she turned and left the room, going back to Mrs.
Olsen's.
The Olsen family’s guards were on high alert as soon as they saw her leave the
room. Once they saw her enter Mrs. Olsen's room, they relaxed.
In the room, several members of the Horton family looked at Isla.

Melissa narrowed her eyes and immediately asked, “Isla, tell me, is this child
really Jake's?”
Isla’s eyes flickered, and she blurted out, “Mom, how can you say that? Of
course, it's Jake’s baby! The family head of the Olsen family is sitting downstairs
right now. You don’t have to be afraid. He will stand up for
me.”
Melissa scoffed. “Are you threatening me?”
Immediately, Isla waved her hands. “Not at all, how could I! Mom, I only mean to
say we don't have to be afraid of Uncle Lewis...”
“You'd better be right!” Melissa glared at her fiercely. “Just let me tell you. There's
one thing Keira was absolutely right about: even if the Clance Olsen family is
backing you up, if this child isn't Jake's, the Horton family won't be able to shelter
you!"
Isla immediately clenched her fists. “I understand,
Mom.”
Jake couldn't help but interject, “Mom, why are you bringing this up at all? Surely
you're not swayed by Uncle Lewis and Keira's words? How could the child in
Isla’s belly not be mine?”

Melissa said, “She did, after all, get pregnant before marriage.”
“That's not a problem! What era are we living in now... Besides, the DNA test
results will be out in three hours, then we'll know, won't we?”
Jake said casually.
He didn’t realize that this comment made Isla immediately clench the sheets
tight.
She had thought that after the miscarriage, there would be no chance for
amniotic fluid testing, but to her surprise, Keira and Lewis had managed to have
the doctors collect the embryo from the miscarriage, effectively cutting off her
way out!
Isla was infuriated to death.
Unable to sit still and wait for doom, she took out her
phone.
Downstairs.
After Uncle Olsen's car door opened, Lewis got in.
Uncle Olsen opened his eyes and glanced at him, then

Lewis responded indifferently, “She hasn't done anything wrong. The child isn’t
Jake's. Isla had an intentional miscarriage and framed her.”
Uncle Olsen raised an eyebrow, his body still radiating an icy chill, “Then why
would Isla have a miscarriage and frame her? Even if she did nothing, her very
birth is her fault.”
Lewis frowned. “I've told you before, Mrs. Olsen has never minded her
existence.”
“Jodie’s health has been deteriorating year by year. She must have a burden,
and if not Keira, who else could it be? Lewis, we're not fools. Do you think that
any married woman would truly not mind an illegitimate daughter?”
Lewis clenched his jaw.
No.
Even though Mrs. Olsen treasured Keira so much, she must have minded at
some point.
Otherwise, Keira wouldn't have left the Olsen family so

early, and her attitude towards Mrs. Olsen would not be a mix of love, fear, and
avoidance...
As for the Horton family, Oliyer had a mistress and an illegitimate daughter
outside, and Melissa had made countless scenes at home because of this.
The reason Jake hated the illegitimate daughter was also because of this.
Uncle Olsen's statement left no room for rebuttal.
Lewis slowly said, “The overseas project we've been working on recently, I can
let you have it.”
“There’s no need,”
Uncle Olsen coldly refused. “Neither you nor I can be bought with money, so why
say such things?”
Lewis was just testing.
But this test made Lewis feel even more troubled.
Uncle Olsen had coveted that overseas project for a long time, proposing many
deals to exchange for it, but now for the sake of the Olsen family, even that
wasn't viable.
He tensed his jaw. “No matter what, I won't let you

bully Keira. Birth is not a choice, and she’s never done anything wrong”
“I've said, her birth means she owes the Olsen family.”
Uncle Olsen looked at Lewis. “But I'm not opposed to letting her go, provided you
agree to one condition.”
“What is it?"
“Divorce her, and marry my niece.”

Lewis immediately became furious. “You wouldn't
dare!”
“We could always try,”
Uncle Olsen said lightly.
Lewis quickly clenched his fists.
He and Uncle Olsen were evenly matched, neither
