Mrs. Olsen was taken aback and looked at her.
Then she gave a bitter smile. “Fine, I know you have never acknowledged this
father, but this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave.”
Keira tightened her jaw, not offering further explanation, as now wasn't a good
time. “Mrs. Olsen, let's talk about my issue later. You should go back to
the car first...”
Melissa wasn’t an easy mother-in-law to deal with. Isla had embarrassed the first
branch of the family, and after her failed scheme against old Mrs. Horton, she
had even been outmaneuvered and lost two percen the shares. How could she
possibly agree to meet wi Mrs. Olsen?
However, Keira’s position was awkward, and she couldn't really ask old Mrs.
Horton for help...
As she was pondering, footsteps came from the Horton residence’s large iron
gate, followed by Fiona
approaching with a smile. “You must be Mrs. Olsen. When guests arrive, there’s
no reason for them to wait

outside. Please come in with me!”
Mrs. Olsen was startled, “And you are?”
Fiona didn’t say much. “I am the Horton family’s
butler.”
Mrs. Olsen then looked toward Keira.
Keira pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said, “Mrs. Olsen,
please go in first.”
She knew that it was old Mrs. Horton who had sent
Fiona over.
She also understood that she couldn't use old Mrs. Horton's affection and trust to
help Isla, but she really couldn't just stand by and watch Mrs. Olsen suffer.
Mrs. Olsen didn’t know the reason behind it all a nodded. She coughed and
entered the door.
Old Mrs. Horton had sent someone to greet the gue personally, so even if
Melissa was reluctant, she had give old Mrs. Horton this courtesy.
The group soon arrived at the main house's living
room.
Melissa was sitting arrogantly on the sofa. “Mrs. Olsen,

what are you doing? If I don’t want to see you, will you wait outside indefinitely,
not embarrassed by the disgrace?”
She hadn't even offered a seat to the visitors.
Keira stepped forward, about to say something, when Isla grabbed her arm. “You
better keep quiet. Don’t offend my future mother-in-law and ruin this marriage
for me!”
Keira gave Isla a cold look.
Just because of this, was it alright to let Mrs. Olsen beg
and lower herself here?
Mrs. Olsen didn’t notice the disagreement between the two children and merely
coughed before walkin over to a sofa and sitting down.
Melissa scoffed sarcastically. “Mrs. Olsen, such manners, a product of fine
upbringing. I hear Kein the illegitimate daughter you raised. No wonder sh so
well-mannered!”
Mrs. Olsen looked up at this, smiled gently but spoke with strength, “Indeed, I
have raised Keira, and thank you for your compliments.”

Melissa choked, “You...!"
Mrs. Olsen then interrupted her. “Mrs. Horton, I came here to discuss the matter
of our children... cough, cough, cough... I would like to speak with you privately if
that's alright?”
Melissa immediately wanted to retort, but upon looking up, she saw Mrs. Olsen
sitting there with a confident smile as if she was sure of herself. Melissa
remembered Jake mentioning that Mrs. Olsen seemed
to be from Clance and had wide connections.
Melissa scoffed. “Fine, let's see what you have to say!”
She ordered the maids in the living room. “You all may
leave.”
Mrs. Olsen also looked at Keira and Isla. “You two as
well.”
Keira looked at her worriedly, but in the end, she stood up and left the room.
Isla also left the room with a face full of joy.
The two halted their steps on the open space just outside the living room.
Keira glanced at the room from time to time, but when

she turned her head, she saw Isla holding her phone, messaging Jake, her face
seemingly adorned with a
smile...
Unable to restrain herself, Keira blurted out, “Mrs. Olsen is hustling about inside
for you, and who knows what lowly deals she’s agreeing to with Mrs. Horton right
now. Aren’t you worried at all? How can you so bold and confident?”

Upon hearing this, Isla gave her a glance. “That's my mother. Isn't it natural for a
mother to bustle about for
her own daughter?”
After speaking, her expression suddenly turned cold. “Right, I forgot your own
mother wasn’t good to you, so you've never experienced this feeling, have yo
Keira clenched her fists tight. “You...!”
Isla immediately gloated. “Then let me tell you wha feels like to have a mother
who cares for her own daughter. Today, when I came home crying, my moth was
really upset for me, so she took the initiative to come and plead my case.”
Keira said angrily, “The Horton family is the richest in Oceanion. What can Mrs.
Olsen offer to help you?!”

The look in Isla’s eyes suddenly became sinister. “If she can’t offer anything, then
she'll just have to kneel and bow her head until Mrs. Horton agrees!”
“You...I"”
“Keira, let me repeat myself. That's my mother! Whatever she does for me is only
right and proper! Didn't you say you don't owe me anything? Well, now I'll let you
fully understand the reality!”

Suddenly, Isla stepped in front of her
and sneered. “The person you owe is

Keira’s fists were clenched so tightly that, upon seeing the triumph on the other
woman's face, she wished she could tear her to shreds!
She herself respected Mrs. Olsen as both a teacher

and a motherly figure, yet the woman in front of her didn’t cherish her at all...
Yet, ironically, Keira understood that Mrs. Olsen was
Isla’s mother...
It seemed normal for a mother to make any sacrifice for her daughter, and Keira
had no right to interfere.
At that moment, Keira felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness.

Keira took a step back, distancing herself from Isla, and looked worriedly toward
the living room again.
Half an hour later, Mrs. Olsen walked out of the room
The moment she stepped out, Keira hurriedly came forward to support her.

Mrs. Olsen seemed exhausted, and she managed a rueful smile. “Yes, she
agreed.”
“Mom, I knew you could do it! I love you, Mommy!”
Isla acted coyly.
However, Mrs. Olsen didn’t caress her hair as she usually would but coldly
pushed her away and turned to Keira. “Keira, see me out, will you?”
Keira immediately took her arm. “Mrs. Olsen, please take your time.”
Mrs. Olsen patted her hand and then spoke, “Don't ever say that Taylor isn’t your
father again...”
After all, she had personally witnessed Poppy's amniocentesis and the paternity
test with Taylor, an
there could be no mistake.
Keira was momentarily stunned, “I really am not...”
