My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

157 Isla Is Arrested

Isla looked at him in disbelief.

But then she realized something.

The marriage certificate was displayed on the screen,

which meant Lewis had known about their misdeeds

all along!

Just as this thought crossed her mind, Tom suddenly took out a remote control
and pressed a button, and immediately, a video appeared on the screen.

The crowd could see it clearly. It was footage from two

surveillance cameras.

The first showed Isla sneaking into the video room and copying photos from a
USB drive onto the computer.

The second was of two maids at home, one projecting the photos in the
background and the other secretly pressing the remote control...

The evidence was irrefutable!

Isla became flustered as she turned to look at Jake. He was aware of the whole
affair, even having taken part in it with her, but now Jake stepped back, avoiding
eye

contact with her.

In a panic, Isla cried out subconsciously, “Jake...”

Jake instinctively glanced at Oliver.

His father was frowning and staring fiercely at him with disappointment in his
eyes as if to say, “You can't even handle this trivial matter. You're useless!”
Jake clenched his fists tightly and suddenly rushed in front of Isla.

Isla thought he was going to protect her, her face lighting up with hope, but the
next moment...

“Slap!”

Jake slapped her hard across the face. “Isla, I never thought you would be this
kind of person! I know and Keira don't get along. She's your illegitimate sis and
you've hated her since childhood, but how coul you do such a thing at Great-
grandma's birthday banquet?!”

Isla was dumbfounded.

She held her cheek, looking incredulously at Jake at

this moment.

Poppy, who had been restrained, had calmed down after realizing she couldn't
free herself. Her hands

were tied behind her, and a cloth was stuffed in her

mouth.

When she saw what happened, she immediately stood up. She let out an angry
cry and started thrashing around, knocking aside the bodyguards and then
slamming head-first into Jake’s stomach.

Jake was knocked back several steps with a dull pain in his abdomen.

Poppy, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, stared angrily at Jake. Although
she didn’t speak, everyone could see that she was furious!

It seemed if Jake dared to lay another hand on Isla, she was ready to fight him to
the death!

The sight left the other guests stunned.

They whispered among themselves.

“What's going on here?”

“Isn't she Keira’s mom? Why is she protecting Isla like this?"

“Right you'd think she was Isla’s own mother!”

The whispers from the crowd brought Poppy back to her senses. She then
looked at Isla, realizing she'd overreacted, and turned her gaze to Keira.

Isla lowered the hand holding her cheek, but she understood that Jake was now
unreliable.

She clenched her fists tightly and looked at Poppy, who stood protectively in front
of her, with a flash of disdain in her eyes.

This foolish woman always caused unnecessary trouble at times like this. She
had knocked Jake aside. Was he really the root of the issue?

She composed herself, and immediately, her face took on a tearful expression.
She lowered her head. “It

wasn’t on purpose. Keira told me she just got her marriage certificate this year,
so I had no idea her husband was my uncle! I just thought their relations wasn't
right...”

She covered her cheek. “I didn’t mean anything by it, I just felt it was unfair to my
aunt... My mom is soft and kind, and it was because of this that she was
replaced by a mistress who brought an illegitimate daughter

into our home... I just wanted one less person in this world like my mom, so I
used the power of the public to restrain them...”

Her sobbing made the audience frown.

One by one, they turned to look at Keira.

Indeed, Keira was the illegitimate daughter and the

child of the mistress Poppy.

Wasn't it natural for Isla to resent her?

But this was the Horton family party, and even if everyone sympathized with Isla,
they didn’t dare to say anything...

After all, the recent example of Mr. Horton chasing Erin out and making her
unable to live in Oceanion anymore was still fresh in everyone’s mind.

As everyone was in a daze, Lewis had already turned to the police, completely
ignoring what Isla said. He said, “She has infringed upon the image rights of my
wife and me. Please handle it according to the law.”

The two police officers immediately approached Isla. “Miss, please come with us
to the police station for investigation!”

Poppy, anxious, wanted to rush over, but was grabbed by a bodyguard.

Isla hadn't expected that her weeping plea would be ineffective and immediately
looked toward her only savior-Mrs. Olsen.

Suddenly, she rushed to Mrs. Olsen, grabbed her arm, and cried out, “Mom, help
me! I only did it because I felt you were being treated too unfairly. I really didn’t
know she was married... and also, also... yes, I'm pregnant! I can’t go to the
police station! I can't be taken away!”

Mrs. Olsen looked at her daughter.

She wanted to say something, but with the marriage certificate still in hand, and
remembering that she had mistakenly slapped Keira earlier that day, she found
herself unable to ask Isla to let go....

Keira saw the dilemma she was in and felt a sharp twinge in her heart.

Mrs. Olsen was always known for her fairness and impartiality, but Isla was after
all her biological daughter...

suddenly tried to say something, “I...”

Before she could finish, Lewis beat her to it. “Keira, even if you don't pursue the
matter, I will! The Horton Group needs an explanation!”

This didn’t give Mrs. Olsen or Keira a chance to speak.

After he said this, Lewis nodded to the police.

The two police officers immediately grabbed Isla’s arms. “Miss, please cooperate
with our investigation!”

Infringing upon image rights, particularly of this nature which hadn't caused any
notable reputation or financial damage, wouldn't result in a severe

punishment after trial. At most, it would involve an apology and several days of
detention.

But as Jake's wife and a young lady from a prestigious family in Oceanion, being
taken away in such a public venue with photographers nearby...

Isla would be humiliated!

This was a severe blow to the first branch of the family!

Mrs. Olsen understood this too and, knowing that the punishment wouldn't be too
harsh considering Isla

was pregnant-perhaps not even detention-decided

not to say anything.

Isla had made too many mistakes. It was time for her

to face some consequences.

After Isla was taken away, only the first branch was left disheveled and
disgraced.

Yet the banquet hall gradually returned to normal.

Mrs. Olsen looked at Keira, hesitated, and then finally managed to say, “I, Keira,
I'm sorry...”

She had finally spoken those words.

She just quietly looked at Taylor and said, “But you're not my father.”
