Chapter 115: Chapter 115
Isla Olsen screamed furiously. She knew Mrs. Olsen had an extraordinary background and was definitely capable of handling the situation for her.
Just like with the Allen Family back then…
The Allen Family from Clance, a prestigious household that even the Horton Family did not want to offend lightly, showed great courtesy towards Mrs. Olsen.
Isla looked at her and yelled, “Mom, I know you can do it! Help me this one last time… ”
Mrs. Olsen looked at her frenzied daughter, a trace of disappointment flickering in her eyes.
Though she appeared weak, she had always been strong-willed, which was how she had managed to get to where she was.
Mrs. Olsen let out a bitter laugh, her weakened legs gradually straightening as her trembling body slowly regained composure. She scoffed, “Then jump down p>
Isla was stunned.
Mrs. Olsen lowered her gaze: “This is the third floor. If you jump, you’ll at most break some bones. Even if you end up in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, the Olsen family can still support you p>
Isla bit her lip hard, “Mom p>
Taylor Olsen was also taken aback, “Shirley! Don’t say things in anger! Isla, don’t be rash! Let’s talk this over calmly. Come back now p>
However, Mrs. Olsen just scoffed, “Taylor, her failing is my fault, not yours. She wants glory and wealth, then let her jump if she wants p>
Taylor Olsen wanted to say something when suddenly, he heard Isla’s roar, “You don’t care if I become crippled, but do you also not care about the child in my belly p>
At that, Mrs. Olsen was shocked, “What p>
Tears welled up in Isla’s eyes, “I’m carrying Jake’s child. Jumping from here wouldn’t kill me, but what about the baby p>
Mrs. Olsen clenched her jaw.
Isla cried, “Mom, I want to marry Jake, not just for the status and wealth, but also for this child! I’m begging you, I don’t want to be a single mother. I don’t want this child to grow up fatherless p>
Her words struck Mrs. Olsen like a dagger.
It was as if she saw her past self…
Taylor Olsen’s gaze flickered, and he supported her arm, “Shirley, don’t be so cruel to the child… Isla is still young, her mistakes are forgivable as long as she corrects them p>
Isla knew to soften Mrs. Olsen. She cried harder, “Mom, I truly realize my mistake. I admit I pursued Jake because I was envious of Kiera, because you always cared about her, but later I genuinely fell for Jake. I don’t want to lose him.
“But the gap between our family and the Horton family is too large. I thought I could use Dr. South to improve my standing, but I didn’t expect Dr. South to be Kiera… Jake thinks I deceived him, but I didn’t! I really didn’t know Dr. South was Kiera, it was Kiera who deceived us!
“As Jake started treating me worse, I could only hold onto whatever I had, trying to keep his heart. I’m not a bad kid, Mom, I was wrong p>
Taylor Olsen also supported Mrs. Olsen’s arm, “Shirley, no matter what, Isla is your only daughter. You didn’t send her back to Clance back then because you wanted her to have a simple life, how can you bear it p>
How can you bear it…
Of course, she couldn’t bear it.
Mrs. Olsen’s clenched fists slowly relaxed, and her demeanor became somewhat desolate. Finally, her tone softened, “Alright, I agree p>
Isla is her daughter; she truly can’t stand watching her die.
After seeing off the folks from the first branch of the family, Kiera Olsen managed to enjoy her breakfast.
In the morning, Lewis Horton went to the Horton Group to take care of some recently pending matters. Yet by lunchtime, he hurried back to have lunch with Kiera and Old Mrs. Horton.
In the afternoon, Kiera supported Old Mrs. Horton’s arm, walking with her through the Horton family manor.
The Horton Family estate was very large, and she accompanied old Mrs. Horton on a stroll, also to help her sleep better at night. At her age, she needed to move her limbs regularly to avoid stiffness.
As the two were walking, they suddenly heard a few people whispering nearby:
“So shameless, after causing such a scene, she still has the audacity to show up here p>
“Mrs. Olsen doesn’t really go out much these years, and seeing her today, she looked so pale. When the lady of the house wouldn’t let her in, she just stood outside the door. What if her illness worsens p>
“What can be done? She brought this on herself p>
“If I were her, having raised such a daughter, I would have hidden myself away, and I can’t understand how she didn’t think of that. Coming to the Hortons, you have no idea how embarrassing it is p>
Kiera Olsen was slightly startled when she heard this, and she swiftly approached to ask, “Who were you just talking about p>
“It’s Mrs. Isla Olsen, she came with Isla, saying she was coming to apologize. When the lady of the house refused to see her, she just stood outside and wouldn’t leave p>
Kiera Olsen’s pupils constricted.
Mrs. Olsen’s body was so frail, how could she!
She quickly looked at old Mrs. Horton. “Grandma, you p>
Old Mrs. Horton patted her arm, “Go if you have something to do, I’ll be fine, I’ll have Fiona take me back p>
They were followed by Fiona and a family doctor as they walked.
Moreover, they were at the Hortons’, Kiera didn’t have much to worry about.
She nodded and hurried to the front gate!
The mansion where old Mrs. Horton resided was still a distance from the main entrance.
Kiera ran for over ten minutes before she reached the gateway.
Just as she walked through the small gate beside the large iron gate, she saw Mrs. Olsen being supported by Isla, standing at the entrance and coughing. This was a broad highway flanked by large lawns…
Mrs. Olsen was allergic to grass seeds, and at that moment, her coughing made her complexion look even worse.
Kiera quickly approached and took out the medicine she always carried for Mrs. Olsen. “Ma’am, please take some medicine first p>
Mrs. Olsen nodded, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the car, and felt much better after taking the medicine.
Kiera then asked, “Ma’am, why must you do this p>
She glanced at Isla.
Isla stood behind Mrs. Olsen, not hiding the hatred in her eyes, glaring fiercely at Kiera. “Kiera Olsen, if you truly care about my mom, speak well of me in front of old Mrs. Horton! It would save my mom from suffering here p>
Mrs. Olsen immediately spoke up, “Kiera, this matter doesn’t concern you, you should go back now p>
Kiera, however, took hold of her arm. “How can your matter not concern me p>
Mrs. Olsen felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing those words.
She patted Kiera’s hand and eventually sighed, “Kiera, although you are also Taylor Olsen’s daughter, this issue with Isla really doesn’t concern you. Don’t bother with this matter, just go back p>
At those words, Kiera paused slightly, her heart twisting sharply.
She was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke, “I am not Taylor Olsen’s daughter p>
