Keira said, “Okay.”

“Fantastic, my dear granddaughter-in-law, let’s go home!”

The car quickly entered House One Manor, winding along the driveway for ten minutes before entering the Horton residence

Despite not being her first visit, Keira still marveled at the size of the manor.

No wonder Isla was so keen to marry Jake and become the hostess here.

She was lost in her thoughts when their car pulled over.

Keira and Lewis helped old Mrs. Horton out of the car and into the living room.

As they entered, they saw Isla trying to appease Jake. “Jake, don’t be mad at me. I’ve already apologized to the Allen family. They won’t blame me anymore.”

Jake’s expression was foul. He initially tried to ignore her, but upon hearing the approaching footsteps and seeing Keira entering alongside Lewis, he stood up in surprise. “Keira, what are you doing in my house?!”

Before he could continue, old Mrs. Horton snapped. “I invited my granddaughter-in-law here! Got a problem with that?”

Jake was taken aback, “Granddaughter-in-law?”

Isla quickly said, “Jake, it seems like Great-grandma has mistaken Keira for Mr. Horton’s wife…”

Jake immediately glanced at Keira and Lewis, his brows furrowed.

Lewis suddenly emphasized each word. “Miss Olsen is our guest. She’ll be staying with the Hortons for a while.”

At the sound of these words, Isla clenched her fists even tighter, her eyes glowing with jealousy.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

She voiced her disagreement. “Is this a good idea? Keira being labeled as a killer might bring trouble to the Horton family. If a reporter catches wind of her staying here, people might think we’re harboring her. This might even affect the Horton’s stock…”

Before she could say anything else, Lewis cut in with a cold voice, “The matters of the Horton family are none of your concern.”

Isla felt insulted and bit her lip in frustration.

Suddenly, Jake grabbed her hand. “Uncle Lewis, Isla is just concerned for the Horton family. After all, she’s my fiancee.”

A wave of happiness washed over Isla!

Despite her efforts to make up for her mistakes recently, Jake had been ignoring her. But now that he suddenly supported her, she realized he was using her to target Keira.

Isla was never one to be blinded by love. She knew what she had to do. Jake wouldn’t let her go because he still found her useful.

Now, what she needed to do was to stay here and get rid of Keira!

With this in mind, she gave Jake a nod and was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.

Without thinking, she pulled out her phone and saw “Connor” flashing on the screen.

Now was a critical moment to win Jake back, so how could she take another man’s call?

She immediately hung up and went on. “Mr. Horton, I’m not against Keira. I’m just giving advice from a PR perspective. The Horton family should clear its name from any negativity. I…”

She heard the ringtone.

Her phone rang again.

Isla quickly picked up and hung up again.

Before she could say anything, the phone rang once more.

Jake’s face darkened, and he let go of her hand. “Just answer your phone!”

Isla immediately clenched her fists, gave Jake an apologetic smile, and answered the phone. “Hey, I’m busy. Can we talk later…”

Before she could finish speaking, Connor snapped. “What could be more important than me?”

Isla tried to calm him down. “There really is something…”

“I don’t care. I need you to come over right now! The reporters are surrounding me, and they’re all lashing out at me. Aunt Poppy is also here at my school, blocking my dorm door and calling me an ungrateful wretch! Doesn’t she always listen to you? Come here and take her away!”

Isla bit her lip and looked back at Jake. He was expecting her to do something, and it was the only time in the past few days he’d seemed content with her. She knew she couldn’t leave today.

Otherwise, Jake would truly be fed up with her!

Isla covered the phone and said to Jake, “I’m going to take this call and try to finish it as quickly as possible.”

Then she walked out the door.

Once she left, Keira and Lewis exchanged a glance.

Lewis immediately pulled out his phone and began tapping the screen. He then handed Keira a Bluetooth earphone.

The conversation between Isla and Connor was immediately transmitted into the earpiece.

She could hear Isla’s every word. “Connor, stop making a fuss. I have something very important going on now. You were just criticized a few times, right? Just bear with it a little longer…”

“I can’t bear it!” Connor yelled angrily. “You don’t know what it feels like. The way my classmates look at me—it’s all disgusted and disdainful looks. When I go to the canteen, even the people there won’t serve me food anymore! Wherever I go, I’m pointed at and whispered about. Isla, let’s run away and leave this city! We’ll find a place where no one knows us!”

Isla lost her patience and snapped back, “Enough! If we leave here, where would we go? Do you have money? Without any money, how are we supposed to live? In Oceanion, I’m Miss Olsen. If I go with you, could you provide me with the life I have now?”

Upon hearing this, Keira’s eyes narrowed a bit.

She thought it would take at least a couple of days before Isla and Connor would have a fallout, but it wasn’t even a full day before Connor lost his patience.

As she was contemplating this, she heard Connor roar on the phone, “I don’t have any money, but I can make sure that you can’t continue this life you’re living in Oceanion! Do you think your current lifestyle can last? This life you’re living now is actually all stolen from Keira!!”
