78 Slap in the Face
Isla was completely dumbfounded and stood there in
shock.
Miss Allen... Why was she here?!
She clenched her fingers in panic, wanting to escape this very moment!
Rebecca seemed a bit afraid. The betrayal from her husband and mother-in-law
had shattered her
confidence.
Yet under the gentle guidance of her brother's voice, she looked up and followed
Frankie's pointing finger. She thought she would see that detestable woman, bu
she saw the cold face of her life-saver instead!!
For a moment, she was dumbfounded.
Keira looked at her. “Rebecca, I must have offended
you somehow, or perhaps, said something wrong, which made you hate me so
much.”
Rebecca was dumbfounded.
She waved her hands in confusion. “No, I, I...

Frankie comforted her. “Rebecca, don't be afraid. You can speak up if you have
anything to say.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his father smacked him on his head. “Frankie,
have you pointed out the wrong person? She’s Miss Olsen, the young lady who
has saved Rebecca!”
Rebecca nodded immediately.
“What?”
Frankie was slightly stunned. He looked at Keira to see her face full of anger. Her
clear and cold eyes were watching them.
He then looked at Isla. Sure enough, her eyes were flickering, and her whole
body was trembling ...
Frankie suddenly realized something.
He pointed to Isla, asking Rebecca, “Rebecca, tell me,
who is she?”
Rebecca looked at Isla and immediately withdrew her gaze. She waved her
hand. “Brother, please help me get rid of her. I don’t want to see her!”
Her attitude needed no more explanation.
Frankie's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, “So, Keira is the person
who saved you, and Isla is the evil woman who didn’t help you and added insult
to injury?!”
Rebecca nodded immediately.
The conversation between the two clearly reached the
ears of all the onlookers.
Everyone understood what was going on and immediately looked at Isla and
Jake in shock.
Jake widened his eyes and turned his head to Isla in disbelief, only to see her
face turn pale, completely
colorless.
The whole scene fell silent for a while, and those
executives who had just accused Keira and Lewis we
now silent as scared chickens.
A cold and deep voice suddenly rang out. “Mr. Allen, who exactly fails to see
people for who they are?”
Lewis was indifferent and sarcastic. “You should go to the hospital to get your
eyes checked.”
Frankie's mouth moved, and he dared not say anything.

Jalen also mocked him. “In the future, we can't do kind things like helping people,
lest someone gets fooled, and we'll be cut off from resources... By the way, Mr.
Allen, you just said that you would make sure Miss Olsen wouldn't get any supply
in the country. Is this the Allen family’s attitude toward their benefactors?”
Frankie immediately looked at Keira with a sincere, apologetic look on his face.
He had been displeased with Isla because she had
made various demands on him, but the real Miss Olsen
had never asked for any reward for her help!
He said, “Miss Olsen, I was blind. I'll make sure that
your raw materials are delivered as promised!”
“Right. Good.”
The anger on Keira’s face had disappeared. When s saw the truth, she even felt
a bit dumbfounded.
She hadn't expected Isla to be shameless enough to steal credit!
She wasn't all that angry either. Frankie had just been fooled, but it showed that
he wasn't all that clever or had good judgment. It would be better to work with
him long in the futura
After Frankie apologized, he remembered the culprit and immediately looked
angrily in the direction where Isla was. He was about to settle accounts with her,
but when he looked over, he found that Isla was gone.
He frowned and asked in a gloomy tone, “Where is Isla
Olsen?”
“She ran away...”
Frankie could only glare at Jake. “Young Mr. Horton, I need an explanation for
this!”
Jalen seized the opportunity and said, “Young Mr. Horton, you are too impatient.
You have just graduated, and you're eager to establish a foothold in the Horton
Group. But we should rely on real skills, right? Why are you always using tactics
that aren't
aboveboard?”
As soon as he said this, the crowd began to discuss.
“The incident with Dr. South was the same, he was promoted to the position of
deputy head of the research department by relying on Dr. South, but in
the end, Dr. South turned out to be Mr. Horton's
contact...”
“Mour 1 000 it. He won planning to gat promoted to
general manager by the excuse of saving someone's life
this time!”
“That's too shameless.”
“It turns out that Isla has always been stealing other people's credit. However,
Miss Keira Olsen, who is humble and unassuming, has really helped us so
much...”
“Mr. Allen must be embarrassed in front of Mr. Horton. He didn’t dare to refute
when Mr. Horton just said he should go check his eyesight. It'll be easier for them
to cooperate in the future!”
The surrounding discussions and glances made Jake feel like pins and needles.
He explained, “I didn’t kno what really happened until now. It was all Isla’s doing
It has nothing to do with me. I was fooled by her too!!
Unfortunately, no one would believe him.
After all, husband and wife were one, and they had just announced their
engagement so proudly!
Frankie took a deep breath and looked at Lewis. “Mr. Horton, I withdraw the
suggestion I gave you when

signing the contract and demand that the project cooperation between the Allen
and Horton families exclude young Mr. Horton!”
Lewis remained unperturbed. “Okay.”

The crowd shook their heads.
Jake felt as if he was slapped fiercely on his face!

humiliation.
“Miss Olsen!”

Keira glanced at Frankie and saw
that even though he was pretending
to be calm, his restless hands didn't
know where to place, revealing his
nervousness. The content is on

She smiled faintly and said, “No.”
Rebecca immediately sighed with relief. “That's really great then.”
Frankie was slightly stunned, and the look in his eyes toward Keira had some
gratitude.
Immediately, his eyes flashed with a touch of grimness.
He looked toward Lewis. “Mr. Horton, where is that Isla Olsen staying? She did
something wrong, and she has to pay the price!”
Lewis narrowed his eyes and nodded to Tom behind him. “Help Mr. Allen out.”
“Sure.”
On the other side, Keira lowered her head and was whispering with Rebecca.
Mr. Allen was staring at Keira without blinking.
Mrs. Allen nudged him. “Hey, what are you doing?”
Mr. Allen’s eyes lit up. “I see! No wonder I always felt that Miss Olsen looked
familiar! I know whose daughter she is!”
With that, he walked straight toward Keira. “Miss
Olsen, is your mother’s surname South?”
