68 Meeting
Isla also received a call from the police station.
As a witness who saw the whole incident, when she discovered that Rebecca's
brother was no ordinary person, she cooperated with the police to provide her
statement and didn’t dare to lie.
She was more than happy to oblige, so she happily agreed.
By testifying for Rebecca, she could make Frankie indebted to her again...
Just as she was feeling triumphant, her phone suddenly rang again. She glanced
at the caller ID. Her face darkened. It was Finley Hill!
While she wanted to hang up, she didn’t dare to. Finally, she reluctantly picked
up, “What?”
“Dear niece, you have to help me! If I can’t pay back the money this time, I'll be
beaten to death!” Finley
Hill's voice made Isla frown and irritated.
She clenched her fist. “How much?”
“Five million.”

“How much?!” Isla’s voice suddenly rose, feeling like
she must have heard him wrong.
Although the Olsen family was wealthy and gave her an allowance of 150,000
every month since middle school, Olsen’s current cash deposit was only a few
million. Along with the company’s working capital, it didn’t even reach twenty
million.
She thought that the two million from last time would keep Finley Hill occupied for
a while, but it had only been a few days, and Finley Hill needed five million
more!
However, Finley Hill wasn't at all intimidated. “Can you afford it or not? If you
can't, they'll kill me, then I'll
have to talk to Keira.”
Isla’s pupils contracted.
“You have two days. If the money isn’t in my account by then, don’t blame me for
revealing your and Keira’s origins. After all, one’s life is the most important,
right?”
After leaving these words, Finley Hill hung up. The infuriated Isla threw her cell
phone to the ground.

To come up with such a large sum of five million, she could only ask her family
for help.
Thinking of this, Isla began to hesitate and falter.
Although Keira didn’t expose her for stealing Dr. South’s emails, Mrs. Olsen
seemed to have guessed something. Starting from yesterday, she wasn'tin a
good mood toward Isla.
Isla frowned and went to Mrs. Olsen's room.
As she got close, she heard Mrs. Olsen asking, “Where is Poppy Hill? She
seemed to have disappeared for a few days.”
Taylor answered, “Who cares what she’s doing? Maybe she went back to her
brother's place. She'd better not come back at all. I get annoyed every time I see
her.”
Outside, Isla’s eyes flickered
She collected her emotions, walked in with red eyes,
and choked out, “Mom, Dad.”
Mrs. Olsen got up to comfort her but hesitated and sat
back down on the sofa.
Taylor frowned and asked, “Isla, did you upset your
mother?”

Isla began to cry. “Mom, I was wrong. I shouldn't have framed Keira. I was just
jealous of the attention you gave her.”
Her tears seemed genuine. “Mom, Keira is so capable now. She’s Dr. South and
can arrange hospital rooms for you, but I am not as good as her. I am a bit
scared that your love for her will surpass your love for me... When I was studying
with her, classmates teased me, saying that my parents were getting a divorce
and you were buying clothes and food for her. They also said that you didn’t want
me anymore and wanted her as a daughter... That's why I was always more
concerned
about her...”
Mrs. Olsen’s expression softened visibly. She stepped toward Isla and sighed.
“How can you be so
narrow-minded? Moreover, Keira kept her distance
because she was aware of this. She hasn't come home
in years. She’s not trying to take me away from you, and I won't love her more
than you either! Stop thinking too much from now on!”
Isla sobbed. “Really?”
Mrs. Olsen chuckled. “You're all grown up. How can I lie to you?”

Isla chuckled through her tears. “Then tell me you love
me the most.”
Mrs. Olsen said in resignation. “Okay, I love you the
most.”
Isla’s smile grew more genuine, but then she heard Mrs. Olsen mention
something else. “You should stop seeing Keira as your imagined enemy!”
Her smile faltered, and a shadow crossed her eyes.
Isla lowered her head. “l won't anymore. I'm sorry for
what I did.”
After placating Mrs. Olsen, Isla finally spoke up. “Mom, I'm going to buy a
wedding ring with Jake today. I thought I should buy a gift for him as well.”
Mrs. Olsen nodded in approval. “Good. We shouldn't take advantage of him.”
Isla, who had a job now, had a monthly living expense of 300,000.
She lived at home and didn't usually spend too much
money.
Mrs. Olsen assumed that Isla would have accumulated
millions in her private coffers and hence didn’t

perceive any subtext in Isla’s words.
Isla’s expression froze momentarily. She gritted her teeth and decided to be
candid. “After I got together with Jake, my expenses have increased somewhat...
I'm a bit short of cash now...”
Only then did Mrs. Olsen understand. “I still have over three hundred thousand
here. I'll transfer it to you
later.”
Isla choked on her words. “Only over three hundred thousand?”
Mrs. Olsen sighed, “Yes, I lent my money to Keira. She wanted to buy some
stocks...”
Before Isla could express her dissatisfaction, Taylor got in first. “Buying stocks?
The stock market is doing so badly now. Who would join at this time? It's utter
nonsense! What if we lose that money?”
But Mrs. Olsen waved him off. “She said a friend gave her a tip, so we won't lose
money. Besides, even if we lose money, just consider it as a gift for her. Over the
years, she has brought billions of profits to the company. Giving her over ten
million isn’t enough to
thank her.”

Taylor frowned, clearly not satisfied.
But Isla felt a surge of anxiety, realizing that she couldn't get her hands on five
million in a short time...
She walked downstairs in a daze and got in Jake
Horton's car.

Isla’s eyes flickered with guilt. “Let's go to the police station first. They need me
to make a record for Mr.
Allen's sister's case.”
Jake smiled. “Sure, I'll drop you off.”
When they arrived, they ran into Frankie Allen in the parking lot.
Seeing Isla, Frankie understood why she was there. Thinking of her coming here
to testify, his resentmen toward her lessened. “Miss Olsen, thank you for
making this trip.”
Isla smiled, “No problem.”
The three of them exchanged greetings and were
